Twin Galaxies has flexed the almighty ban hammer against cheating for the second time in just a few months and this time it’s against the self-proclaimed video game player of the century: Billy Mitchell.

I have had the great fortune of having Scott as a friend of mine and he has been able to bring his wisdom on the the show a few times already, but this time he came to speak about his time at Twin Galaxies, working as a referee and also in his capacity as a historian helping rebuild the database. He chatted with me about the experiences he had in working with Billy before and after working for Twin Galaxies, and after in his time working in the gaming industry as a journalist, an advocate, and historian.

Most of us know the answer to whether or not video games cause violence, but for this week’s episode I brought back Patrick Scott Patterson to talk about the “why.”

The correlation between violence in society and violence in video games has been a pervasive argument that has been a sideline to national tragedies for decades — most recently with the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Scott joined me on the inaugural episode of KakeBytes to talk about the importance of preservation with regards to video game history and I was more than happy to bring him back this week to talk to him about his history with video game advocacy.
