Jim Sterling / James "Stephanie" Sterling / James Stanton/Sexton & in memoriam TotalBiscuit (John Bain) - One Gaming Lolcow Thread

[DrunkTails]

I always suspected Jim to be lolcow material, but TB...I'll be honest this is surprising even for a cynical person like me. TB always seemed to be the guy who wouldn't involve himself in politics from my perspective, but these posts by him are proof that I was wrong.

I would laugh my ass off at him, but seeing those pictures of him in bed with what appears to be a hospital is just too depressing to make fun off. No one deserves to die a slow death from cancer, and the knowledge that he is 100% going to die within a short time period is even more depressing. He has become less cynical and more bitter.

Jim, on the other hand, was always part of what I call Nurgle's ballsack (the other being Moviebob). The knowledge that his wife is a sjw tumblerina has been known for quite some time (ED knew of it a long time). Seeing her picture the first time I thought she was Jim himself, no joke.

He already lives in the U.S., part of his anti-Trump chimpout was over Obamacare (despite the fact that he could get treatment for free back in the U.K.).

Nope. National Insurance goes towards the NHS. It ain't free, you just don't have to get charged ridiculous amounts of money if you break your leg or something.

More importantly, he makes way to much money for the ACA to have any relevance in his treatment.

You're right:

Well, that sucks for him. I still have more sympathy for the Americans that have seen massive rises in the cost of healthcare due to Obamacare's bullshit, however.

 

[CWCissey]

Edit: I was wrong about him being able to get free healthcare back in the U.K., apparently that's no longer possible. Thanks, @CWCissey

As much as I appreciate the thanks, it was never possible. National Insurance always funded the NHS, same with any country that has implemented a state healthcare service, you still need to pay doctors and buy pills and machines that go 'ping' and that money has to come from somewhere. Hence higher tax rates, National Insurance etc.

As far as I'm concerned, it's worth it.

Oh, and Jim Sterling sucks and I'm kind of sad that TotalBiscuit has to share a thread with that prick.

 

[Radical Goodspeed]

I'm surprised Fucking Sterlingson didn't already have a thread.

It seemed like him or his wife got at least one mention in every other major GG/SJW thread, besides Wu.

Remember when open relationships were an oddity reserved for people with serious commitment issues and not something you had to do to prove you don't hate women?

I thought TB was supposed to have died like two years ago.

He was but Tumblr and Reddit are like 40k Orks, he's alive because they believe in him.

 

[Lunete]

Jim and his wife look like siblings.

Also, does anyone know what happened between him and the Yogscast? There was apparently some drama between him at least Simon, if not some of the other members.

Most of his beef was with the core duo: Lewis and Simon. TB called their videogame kickstarter (Yogventures I think I was?) unethical and said that they were being shady as fuck. They got mad and Simon threw a shitfit on twitter while Lewis went to Maker (the MCN that both TB and Yogscast were contracted to) to try and get them to shut him up. TB went on to also call their paid promotions/extortion racket for indie games an obvious scam, and they fell into a predictable cycle of Yogscast falling into more and more scandals because they're incompetent fuckwits and TB posting snarky tweets about it.

Then GamerGate happened, Simon turned into even more of a gigantic faggot and drew lines in the sand after REEEing on twitter for like 48 straight hours, and the entire Yogscast network declared TB a persona-non-grata, except Strippin because he's been dicking Dodger for like the past 4 years and knows where his bread is buttered.

I don't care about either of these people, but Jim Sterling looks like the fat cenobite from Hellraiser.

I always thought he looked like one of the Evangelists from Dark Souls 3 myself.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Jim Sterling looks like anything that's fat and ugly because if you're that fat, it doesn't really matter what the person under all that used to look like.

Also her twitter is very much available and exactly what you would expect: https://twitter.com/xNoxAeterna

 

[caffeinated_wench]

Jim and his wife look like siblings clones.

FTFY

TotalBiscuit and Fire are two of the cows I first remember from Something Awful. TotalCunt made some post about how incredibly brilliant he was (it was no joke post).

 

[Roland MT-32]

I can't really bring myself to laugh at TB. He's being subjected to a slow, painful death having already been cucked and now watching his wife pack her bags and find a(nother) new man to exploit, surely ignoring his impending demise...

He might be a sperg but, damn, that's just a really depressing way to conclude your life. I feel bad for him. It's kind of amazing that he hasn't attempted suicide yet.

Only semi-interesting thing I could find.

Jim is cucked for life.

I remember that. Will claimed that someone got roofied at E3, and Laura had to try to out-attention whore him with a story that TOTALLY HAPPENED YOU GUISE.

It was worse than that. Will claimed he was roofied, but the drink was meant for some girl he was talking to. So Laura went "Yeah, well I just got kidnapped, so I've got you there."

I might be wrong, but I don't remember Will reporting that to the police. That makes me wonder if someone got shitfaced and quickly came up with an non-embarrassing excuse to explain why he was puking all over during the company party.
