My friend who still watches Jim says the same thing, thinks the trooning out is a bit weird but likes that Jim doesn't mince words when slagging off the big publishers.
I've heard similar from people who are on the edge of the hobby about other perpetually angry channels. Some people just want to hear someone say bad things about corporations.
Has anyone been to one of the wrestling events? incog.
I am thinking of getting a faded NiN shirt, a few naval sunlit piercings and bowling along to one. It's great to be viewed autistic here so I thank you for the warm welcome
Faggot, no gay ops. Though I don't think anyone has gone.
I used to read his old reviews and thought Jim was alright right at the beginning of him using Youtube, even the digital homicide stuff was pretty good.
In terms of blasting Greenlight and the huge early influx of Steam turd shit that's now commonplace. Jim was fairly funny.
But fucking hell it's just dire now. A defunct turd balling on wrestling on others expense
Don't double post faggot.
Honestly, Jim's best work has always been his written reviews. I remember once upon a time part of the whole going solo thing was so that he would never have to quit writing reviews, how he would have his written reviews no matter what. He actually had a well-defined review scores scale that worked, then he stopped applying review scores for no fucking reason, everybody else was saying to get rid of the score, but he was standing firm that he felt that is for could mean something if it was more than just 5 to 10. He stopped writing reviews instead. Just making his videos, then he stopped making video reviews for the most part.
Now the only video game related thing he consistently does is Jimquistion each week. It was also worth noting that when he still had his review scores, The way he utilized his scale meant that getting a seven or an eight was still a pretty damn good review score. He was giving games that were mediocre fives when everyone else was giving them seven. Well oh well. Generally agreeing with the mediocre score and critique that everybody else was giving them, it was just a difference at where the number started.
I say Jim just doesn't care about video games anymore. He's still seemingly cares about some nerd adjacent things. He's got a thing for old toys, he might have a thing for comics, he has a bit of a thing for wrestling, and an interest in tabletop games, but there's no passion for it.
It is worth pointing at TB here. Total Biscuit was really big into airsoft, shooting at the range, 40k, wrestling, tabletop, and video games. The man had multiple interests, and while his channel was about reviewing video games, he would frequently talk about and just occasionally grab and show off things related to his other hobbies, he was clearly a man who was passionate about his hobbies.
Even though Jim talks about wrestling all the time, I have never got the impression that he is passionate for it. There is no passion for his wrestling career there, there's no passion for his games career. It really does not seem like Jim cares.
TB sold himself as more than just a consumer advocate who got pissed off of corporations, and there was more than one time where on his podcast TB would be shitting on big companies, and he was just as ruthless of it as Jim ever was, the key difference is he didn't toss in a joke about sex or bodily waste. So in many ways they appealed to the same surface level market in gaming. The difference was always the passion behind it.
It has been pointed out multiple times that Jim was in a position to inherit that niche, but he never did. The reason is, at the end of the day, he lacked the passion for his field, and I truly believe most of that passion was locked up into writing of reviews, not in videos.
