Have you ever had beef with other gamers before?


Todd Rogers, a 53 y/o Gamer Goat in Chicago Illinois, who broke the Guiness Book of Records for a 1982 video game alled Dragster had his record REVOKED after 35 YEARS when Gamer Nerds on Youtube busted him on his so called record and said he CHEATED!!

He recorded a time of 5.51 seconds or Dragster that was verified by Twin Galaxies, a group specializing in game records and officially recognized by Activision back on September 1, 1982.

Dragster, a simple timed racing game for the Atari 2600 that hit shelves in 1977.

Guiness recognized his accomplishment in 2001 for being the longest standing video game record for 35 years..

But a probe from Twin Galaxies busted him as a fraud who said in a statement that they notified Guiness as the presented software analysis model concluded it was impossible to score times of less than 5.57 seconds under standard and normal play conditions

It all happened back in August when 2 geeks claimed the record was not a possibility as they were supported by the help of gamer Eric Koziel, who released a youtube analysis stating the time was impossible.

The New York Post concluded that they collected a significant amount of circumstantial evidence that extends well beyond Todd's single score performance and evaluated the evidence "carefully" and found it to be compelling and relevant.

The group said there's no evidence to confirm his record by Activision but his score was not able to be validated by anyone working there either.

Thus, Guiness has removed him from the record after an "exhaustive investigation" by Twin Galaxies as spokeswoman Elizabeth Monotoya said "Consequently, we have removed the record title for Longest standing video game record from our database, along with any other records that Mr. Rogers currently holds and we will continue to partner with Twin Galaxies for further video game record verification"

Todd went to FB to voice his anger and railed against the other nerds who said "For too long, gamers have tried to cheat the system and achieve recognition for scores they did not actually make. This is something i came across numerous times while serving as a Twin Galaxies referee. Seeing is believing. But when the remarks become personal, and my friends and family are dragged into the mire, it is no longer about gaming. People are wising ill will upon me and my family over what? A high score on a video game? If that is what the gaming community has become, then despite my love for video games and all of my contributions and experiences to help the scene grow by playing live at events and supporting the community, it is not worth jeopardizing my personal life and family outside of gaming"

He is NOT willing to play the game again to achieve that score as Kotaku says he has multiple records including 15 million point Donkey Kong game and 65 million point 5200's Centipede.

Koziel said this was a long time coming and he was happy to have exposed a long time gamer's cheating scandal.

Knew there was something up with his score, especially if it's almost impossible to replicate.
