This past episode of Bones on Fox, revolved around a competitive gamer who was found dead in a bin behind a restaurant. Now, I was going to write just that the show was going to be about around gaming, but I was watching this week’ s episode, I noticed quite a bit of similarities between the feud of Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, from the documentary “King of Kong.” After the break you can watch the show and read about the ‘coincidences’ between this week’s show and the great film.

The show started off with the two main characters heading to the crime scene and examining a body decomposing and determined he was murdered. After talking to the victim’s wife, we learned that Steve, like Steve Wiebe, was the newly crowned world champion of Punky Pong, aka Donkey Kong, but only because he submitted a tape in — which some believe he cheated. After learning about this, they found out that ‘Steve’ broke the world record from a guy named Billy. When the detectives decided to pay a visit to Billy, he was wearing the same famed American tie that Billy Mitchell likes to prance around in.

The Real Legendary Billy Mitchell

Billy (Mitchell) completely denies that he would ever kill Steve and even suggested the referee, who keeps scores for all the videogames, from the organization called Gemini Constellation — which kinda sounds like it’s referring to Twin Galaxies — was the one who killed Steve. Sadly, the name of the ref sounded nothing like Walter Day; however, he did wear his long sleeve stripped uniform.
