This is a very interesting episode and that is a super cool part of Ben's past to hear about! As an employee of Twin Galaxies who was there during the entire process of removing all of Billy's scores from our database, Billy was actually considered to be a "cheater" due to the falsification of this Donkey Kong score being played on modified hardware rather than the original. There is an entire thread on TG with tons of research done by a lot of the top players and if you are interested in Donkey Kong it can be really fascinating to sift through (It's extremely long so beware). In the past refs had A LOT to do with how bogus scores made it into the Twin Galaxies database, but in the newer era of Twin Galaxies all score performances are public for everyone to see, and no refs. The top three right now are John McCurdy, Robbie Lakeman and Wes Copeland :) They are all very close to the older CAG generation and are very supported. :) Also, Happy Birthday Ben!!

The fact that Ben was only one spot behind Billy Mitchell is insane to me. That's nuts. Top ten for Donkey Kong. Billy Mitchell was once considered the king of Donkey kong (he used to be first) and our little ben is just a spot behind him. I don't think people really realize how insane that is because there are literally dudes out there spending their entire lives just playing donkey kong and our Byen made it to top ten. Just wow. Also, I highly recommend the documentary! It's such an interesting niche community that has their own hierarchy and politics. Gives a really different outlook on gaming.

Arguably much simpler than Donkey Kong, but I'd get super far and break my records when I was just zeroed in, but as soon as I got distracted by things like my score I'd die haha.

He can make even a boring game interesting, like Cristine can make putting nail polish interesting (I honestly never thought I'd be subscribed to a nail polish channel, let alone a podcast of two people who put together a nail polish channel just talking). Yeah, Markiplier can get a little screamy at times, but it always comes back to him being a pretty genuine person.

I was so confused about all of these comments and then I realised that I say Marry O too, so it hadn't sounded weird to me as being a brit that's just how I've always said it. I forgot Americans pronounce it Mar ree o!

This is the second night in a row where through most of the day I was mostly okay. Then the sunset and not long after my anxiety turned up to max levels. I have come to the pod to hopefully zone in and escape it for awhile. I hope the vid provides a distraction for me and others.

Happy Birthday Ben! Fun fact: The happy birthday song's patent ended a few years ago so you won't get copyrighted 😉
@johncrowerdoe5527

For those not aware: Copyright is what they owned on Happy Birthday, it currently lasts until the original artist dies plus 70 years. Patents are for inventions, they last about 20 years from sending in the application. It only applies to gadgets that do exactly what the words in the application explain, getting the same result differently is free (unless there's another patent). For example when James Watt invented the modern steam engine, he got a patent on that, but another guy already had the patent on crank shafts, so Watt used a different way while marketing his steam machines using their power in equivalent mining horses. Trademarks last 5 years to forever (by renewing them), and apply to a name, logo or slogan, but only for specific categories of products. For example the Coca Cola company owns trademarks on the name "Coca-Cola", the hand drawn red/white logo and the shape of the contour bottle.

Ben, have you tried playing Celeste? It's a game you might like a lot. It's difficult, but the controls are simple. And it's in a pixel style and has a wonderful story.

0:58 that was overturned as the original "happy birthday" song was based on another song which is in public domain, so it was decided in the courts that happy birthday is now in public domain.

I think you would really like the Tetris competition scene. A friend of mine introduced me and now I watch all the big competitions. It's just like you said. It's a simple game but it you need to have skills to reach the kill screen

COMPETITIVE TETRIS IS AWESOME! A year ago I watched the Jonas vs. Joseph finale and the informative video agamescout made and fell in love immediately. Watching last year's CTWC live at 4am was a lot of fun and even though I don't consider myself a gamer, I like playing the game on my phone but I can only get 200K with a lot of luck lol.

I find with Markilpiler, at some point in his channel, his took personal life and game life and made it separate. He has said he no longer plays video games on his own time and now he trying to do other things. You can tell he got tired of his crazy persona. You can tell he made tons of choices in his personal life to back away.

I'm not really into podcasts all that much, but you've managed to keep me entertained for nearly an entire hour about Ben's passion of the arcade game 'Donkey Kong' and other simlilar simplestic video games like DK. Honestly, I have that attention span of a goldfish that is a miracle. It was fascinating to learn about, now I'm going to go binge the other podcasts! Keep up the great work, stay safe too!
