Guest Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Jim Sterling did an interview on Giant Bomb. I officially hate Jim now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Jim is also one of the few truly charismatic guys in game journalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Except by his own admission, he's not a journalist. He essentially became famous for trolling people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know he says he's a troll, but he's a satirist, he's making comments on the game industry under the guise of Wilem DaFoe and spunk jokes. He's saying more than most "real" game journalists. I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The impression I always got was that it was something he didn't have a long-term passion for and he was just kind of in the right place at the right time. Obviously he's worked his ass off and I'm just being a bitter asshole, but it's bothered me for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 If you want me to say that Jim is a better writer than you, I won't. But he's British and has a distinctive (re: Otho from Beetlejuice) look. Fame and success are a luck game. We're all just holding out.

Guest Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Which is why I wish my brain would just shut up and let me be happy for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Twitch Plays Pokemon is absolutely insane. Take one guy playing Pokemon Red, and taking literally every direction from the chat. I'm pretty sure this is the modern day verison of Sisyphus. As of right now, they've somehow managed to get to Celadon, and they've been trying to get somewhere in the Helix (they keep going in and out) for about twenty minutes.

JackFetch Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Does anyone here even have an XBox One or PS4? Personally I see no reason to get one any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If you're interested in Titanfall, Destiny, or Batman: Arkham Knight, then there's a decent reason to look into one of the consoles. For all three reasons, I'm gonna see if there's a way I can get an Xbox One by the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I literally just got a PS3 in the last week. I don't foresee getting a PS4 until we have a firm release date for Kingdom Hearts 3, honestly. Plus by that point it'll be cheaper, and any issues that might be present at launch will be resolved, plus there'll be more games out.

KnightWing Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Arkham Knight hasn't been announced for PC, I don't think, but I could be wrong. In any case, a gaming PC is more expensive on average than either of the two new consoles, and PC gaming is kind of a different beast altogether.

Molly Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'll pick one up in time for Arkham Knight, but that's about the only reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Outside of me being crap at pushing "X" fast enough, Stick of Truth has got to be one of the best games I've played in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm with Hannah. I'll get a PS4 at some point, but only when KH3 has a firm release date. And even then, it'll probably still be a while before I pony up that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I just saw that. I'm kinda psyched. It was also an announcement hidden at the end of a demo for what was billed as a completely different game which is some massive bait-and-switch there.
