Lets face it, it'd be impossible for tubs to come on his own face:
1. He ant seen his penis in years.
2. He'd need both hands to lift his massive gut.
3. His spunk'd have to book a plane to travel over landmass that is his girth.
4. Nobody else is ever gonna touch him.

What's the context/story here? Do I even want to know?

Seriously wtf is up with this picture? I... I can't even.
I do like the way he bashes all the crappy asset stealing bullshit "games" in Steam but... what the fuck is that?

IIRC, he Tweeted to the developer (Devolver Digital) that some game of theirs was so good he jizzed all over himself, they replied with something like "We don't believe you, we want proof" and poof, there he went.

What the actual fuck. I didn't even notice the 'cumstains' until I read this. Jesus. Now I can't unsee it. What the fuck!

(and no I don't believe for a second that Cretin Sterling over there is even capable of ejeculating more than a drop a time, but still it triggers)

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win. :)

I think you need to look at the sales of Bethesda and BioWare games to find who's winning.

Which part of his post made you think he was talking about beth & bio?

Also, bioware quit the game 8 or 9 years ago. Or were you just referring to an inannimate row of letters? In which case, sure, the word bioware is still used by someone...

A request to normals - please stop posting in this thread or any other thread about some fucking retard on youtube or wherever. These fucking people should not be known, never mind linked to or discussed like there existence warrants notice. We all need to do our part in making the world more sane and reasonable and shit like this has the exact opposite effect.

When I think of "hardcore" I think of NES platformers, or specialist wargames, not cRPGs... This guy is guilty of spreading the misinformation of cRPGs being hard as hell instead of easy games that are really just take a longer time to appreciate than those GTA clones with exp points...

But, hey, I laughed at this video. It seems like he's making fun of Roqua than anything else. But for some reason he decided to add some Dark Souls...

I couldn't concentrate, his blotchy red skin was blushing profusely behind the powder, as his heart began pumping it's final gasps in reaction to his waddling in front of a green screen..

So Original - He throws on that weird voice and mocks some random low hanging fruit. (Jim likes food easily within reach)
It was the same joke as every other video he has ever made since TheEscapist. Who actually watches this shit unironically?

Instead of bitching about an entertainment medium aimed at children, Jimmy could be doing something actually useful for humanity, like ending world hunger.

I don't like reading books much, but I love video games that tell a story because:

1-I'm a visual person. I can't stand reading books and not having some visual aid to represent things because I do not have the imagination to be able to accurately imagine a scene in a book well enough to follow it properly as the writer imagined it in his/her head

2-the interactivity of the medium allows for storytelling to hit home harder as devs can use the interactive nature of games in various ways to tell stories impossible in anything else. Nier Automata uses multiple playthroughs to tell its story in an intelligent way that you can't do with anything else because you won't get new information or a new scene or scenes the second or third time you watch a movie.

Games like Life Is Strange allow me as a player to make choices that impact character relationships and later scenes. Life is Strange even had one seemingly unimportant moment in episode 1 that ended up making gaining entry to a plot-important party much easier in episode 4.

Or they don't have interactive narratives or whatever and just allow you the space and the time to linger. Games like Everybody's Gone To The Rapture and What Remains of Edith Finch were so impactful because I was able to explore this intricately detailed environment at my own pace and examine what I wanted to examine and to linger so that I could choose what to focus on and how long I wanted to analyze a specific environment before moving on with the narrative. Not to mention, the interactive stories in Edith Finch really make clever use of the medium to tell some creative stories about the Finch family members.

Video games have so much more potential and open-endedness in their ability to engage players and tell a compelling story. Then there are games with more traditional mechanics like say Ico or The Last Guardian that tell so much through their mechanics and the express language of games and game design rather than through cutscenes or through dialogue. Games are art. Games are brilliant narrative devices.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Just watched it.

It is just a rippoff of gamespot's good old feedbackula and instead of framing real whiners he just spread misinformation to his already misinformed legion of casuals.

Reading tje comment section . . Ugh i want to puke.

I watch jimquisition weekly, but his attitude now is just disgusting.

You can tilt the world in this direction by becoming fat and not seeking attention.
