He comes off as so full of himself when he claims that the original programmers didn't know about the different ghosts' "personalities" (algorithms). He's referring to this: http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/pacman/pacmandossier.html#Chapter_4 http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/pacman/pacmandossier.html... And there's just no way that the game's creators didn't know how they programmed the behavior of the ghosts. More likely they were humoring him and he took it as him "knowing more about the game than its creators" or whatever the quote was. Plus, I would never claim to be able to execute a perfect score (or even a very impressive one) but I can definitely put Pac-man into a blind spot. His claim that "you couldn't do it even if I told you how" comes off as pretty egotistical.

You have to watch King of Kong documentary: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0923752/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0923752/ Here's a youtube clip of Billy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIBrcU768Cg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIBrcU768Cg He is like a real life WWF wrestling character. You can't help love/hate him, he's just too over the top, and it's impossible to tell if he's partially taking the piss.

I've met him a couple of times at gaming/pinball events. He's definitely one who suffers from being told one too many times that he's a genius. Walter Day is as guilty of that as anyone else is. If you get him talking about something other than arcade games he's a bit more down to earth, though. Definitely a larger-than-life personality.
