Two regular people vs two ugly freaks. Sounds pretty on point for wrestling.

I hope Jim doesn't take it as a compliment when I say this looks like a mum had to throw together wrestling outfits for her and her son the night before a convention.Normal looking wrestlers, and here was the freakshow they were against.

Maybe they're just going on sumo rules instead. I could not imagine going to something like that though. Imagine the fucking shame you must feel if your mum saw these photos and asked you to explain what the fuck that is

I don't think Jim is that worried, he gets to beat up a woman and that's all that matters

I'm no branding expert but that, again, is fucking dismal. It might actually be the worst effort I've seen from him thus far. It simultaneously has too much shit going on and not enough- the left hand side is just a black background occupied only by Jim's visually deafening logo and a word (that I am left to assume is deadlock) mostly obscured by a fat faggot holding a toy spaceship for no reason that is likely to be relevant to the content.
The right hand side features visually clashing graphics, again robbed of any context or obvious reason to be there. The thumbnail should be evenly spread out, but this one gives the impression that the top-left hand corner was unfinished or that it was cropped incorrectly.
Jim has got the art of creating terrible thumbnails down to a science at this point. I distinctly remember a time when he had a robust understanding of both branding and artistic cohesiveness. Do titty skittles really strip out that much of your creative faculties?
*Edit* The thumbnail in question, since Jim disabled embeds:

It would at least be new and original content if Jimquisition made a video pondering the implications of the Jewish Question.

Ironically, one of the most consistent criticisms of asset flip slop he would trot out was their lack of artistic cohesion.

I had nothing better to do
Overall a journo fucked up and Jim wants to pretend that he didn't. Yes the fuckup was pretty small and insignificant, but it was still a fuckup. And also doom is bad because it allows mods or something? Another fantastic video about nothing important that will be forgotten in a day and will have no impact on anyone's life. Ready to be remade in a week's time. God bless for gin indeed you fucking lard creature.
I know people have said it before but what the fuck is Jim's thumbnail design. What am I meant to take away from this? Half of the thumbnail is literally pointless. No one is clicking on a thumbnail because they like how you or your logo looks. The (few) people that are subbed to you will know it's you because they recognise your channel, the people that don't recognise you are not going to be helped by the drivel on the left of the thumbnail, they don't know who you are or what the fuck a jimquisition is because they've never watched you before. On one hand having a thumbnail that is recognisable as you is important, but you shouldn't forsake the whole having a good thumbnail for having a stylised one. There's quite a few youtubers that have really good stylised thumbnails that still get across the point of the video. Emplemon is one of them, admittedly not all the time, but he has a style that if you watch his stuff and see a random video pop up in your feed you will instantly know it's a video he made without looking at the channel name just from the thumbnail, the specific colour choices and recurring patterns make a lot of his videos very quickly recognisable as his. Yet when you look at them they are still portraying what the video will be about. The latest one is him talking about jar jar and star wars. So it heavily features jar jar with an accent iconography associated with emp. Or another one is nilered, he almost has no style, the thumbnails are completely devoid of character or interest in terms of design which in and of itself is his style. Black/white background showing a starting material and the end product, or sometimes just the end product. Here's a video of a purple gold alloy so the thumbnail is just an ingot of purple gold. Both of these not only show the topic of the video and have styling to tell you who's channel it is, they also show the type of video. Nilered is very straightforward. Purple gold is an alloy of xyz, to make it you have to go this process, so in this video I will be doing exactly that. His content is very cut and dry, like his thumbnails. Emplemon is a bit different, his videos normally are quite focused and somewhat documentary like, but they're still also kinda shitposty. Hence why the jar jar thumbnail is not super serious, his content isn't cut and dry, neither are his thumbnails.
So Jim. I guess it does kinda fit. His thumbnails look like an incomprehensible mess, just like his content. But Jim seems to have gone way too hard on the recognisable front, he wants everyone to know 100% this is definitely a jim sterling video, he wants that recognition. The point of bringing up nilered and emplemon are because neither of them have any logos or their face in the thumbnails, yet any returning viewer will know who's channel it is. You do not have to stick your fucking entire body and logo in a thumbnail for people to know it's you. But what else am I meant to take from this thumbnail. Ok so there's the logo of the new valve game that I hadn't heard of until just now, and some promotional art from that game too. Ok so it's a video talking about the new valve game. Cool, maybe he's going to play it or talk about the news for it. But wait, why the fuck is there a classic doom demon in there too? What the fuck could doom have to do with any of this? Ok it says bethesda in the title, but that's classic doom which was published by id not bethesda? And what does that have to do with valve? And why is he holding a spaceship? The space ship looks a bit star trekky to me. So to me it kinda reads that maybe he's going to be talking about star trek and original doom and maybe his childhood games, and maybe from that he will be getting into some of the inspirations behind the new valve game? Or his hopes for it? I'm just not sure what he's trying to say with this thumbnail. Half of the things in the thumbnail are completely redundant at first glance. But if you removed that you would just have the logo and promotional art of the new valve game? None of what is in the thumbnail says anything about the type of video this is. From the outside looking in you have no way to tell that this will be some hypercritical journo slop.

Now for the actual video itself.
Starts off with him talking about wrestling again and showing off the bruise he got from it which wow that looks really painful. You entered into a physical sport and got a bruise, what a shocker. Funnily enough he has so many filters on that you would hardly be able to see it if he didn't point to it.
Ok so now he starts talking about the content of the video and the thumbnail does seem to be fairly accurate, it will be a video on deadlock with some random bethesda doom news awkwardly shoved in the corner.
I hate self deprecating humour, it's not funny, you're just kinda sad. This isn't banter with the boys, you are just being genuine here when you say you have no future. Self deprecating humour is just the lowest slop commentary channel tier humour.
We then get more random old tv show intros because those intros were much better than Jim's and he just wants us to know how talentless he is in comparison.
The verge did nothing wrong and then says that it probably has also done wrong. I mean I didn't expect jim to be on the anti journo side.
Jim seems to think that valve doesn't create games and only prints money probably csgo skins and shit. Half life alyx was released only a few years ago (a perfectly reasonable time frame for game development as jim fully well knows) and was reviewed at 93%. Vavle do make games still, and they make good ones. 3-4 years for game development is not them sitting back to print money, that's just called game development takes time. You should be happy that valve are not rushing out games, I thought you hated crunch times and forced yearly releases?
Jim's editing remains dog shit. Random pngs that take even less effort than the average pngtuber just moving around and the most basic of zooms. I could make a jim video on powerpoint probably.
So the verge did nothing wrong was how he started this video, he has now explained the situation. A journo went in and got access to an open playtest with rules saying don't share information on the game. That's a very simple rule and I don't think too uncommon for open playtests to ask for no media coverage because it's still a work in progress. I don't think this is an unreasonable ask. Yet the journo read those rules and wrote an article on it anyway. And somehow I'm meant to feel bad that he got banned? If you don't follow tos you get banned, is this newsworthy?
Jim then goes on to read random comments left on the article. He takes these comments completely out of context, it's just a quote. I don't know how many likes these have, I don't know if they have a load of people in the replies calling them retarded. I'm just presented with a random quote by someone that I'm meant to think is some massive infraction for some reason.
Jim defends kotaku. I have nothing to say other than fucking kotaku.
He's right that most people will have forgotten about this in a few months time though. At the end of the day it is an entire nonstarter. A guy broke a game's tos and got banned. This isn't news and it certainly isn't interesting. So why are you making a video on it?
Jim is still 100% totally jokingly seething about people saying he reviewed botw too low. Yea sure you're bringing it up ironically but all jokes are based in some sort of truth. Though I think 7/10 is probably fair for botw, I think 7-8/10 is pretty accurate in terms of fair review scores ie 5 is average not 7 is average.
The second commenter that he is mocking is just correct. The journo was shown and acknowledges that the game said to not talk about it publicly. He went on to make an article on it. He very much did fuck around and find out, admittedly in a tiny degree because it's a fucking game ban on a (seemingly free) game that you could probably just make a new account for. Regardless of jim reading it in a funny quirky voice it is scummy to write an article on a game that explicitly says to not do that. This isn't investigative journalism and exposing things. This is just talking about a game before the devs feel it is in a place to be reviewed.
Jim wants to say that the sentiment is taking things out of proportion. Which yea it kinda is from what little I've seen. But at the same time most people are just making jokes about it on twitter, you're the one making a video about it pretending that it's gamergate 2.0. You're reading the comments on the article, of course they're going to be bad. The people that are retarded enough to go to an article to leave comments like that are obviously going to be the most mentally inept no lifes. You went to the place where things would be the most negative and are surprised that things are negative. It's like joining the kkk and being surprised that they're kinda racist.
'weve been here before and the situation hasnt changed', yes jim, we have been here before, countless times, you've made this video more times than i can count.
'good journalism is reporting public interest over corporate interest' the only actually kinda based thing jim has ever said in the past 5 years. He's not wrong. He's just woefully in the wrong context. This isn't some corporate coverup, it's just devs asking people to not go talking about the game too much because it's not finished or whatever. This isn't hard hitting investigative journalism it's a fucking game review.
Jim thinks that its ok because an nda wasn't signed. There was no nda, that's why the guy was banned from the game not fucking sued. He broke the game's tos, something that exists exclusively within the game, and was therefore punished solely within the game. He did not break a legal agreement, hence why there was no legal action. Break tos, get banned, this isn't complicated.
Jim wants games journalism that breaks the mold, stuff that doesn't play it safe. Which once again is kinda based, just not in the way jim is about to phrase it. It's also very fucking rich that the games journalist who has made the same 5 videos on loop for half a decade is hoping for people to take risks. Those in glass houses. Jim claims that his risky mold breaking 'journalism' got him blacklisted many times. Probably true. But because you're just not very good at your job and no one cares what you have to say, not because you're assange. He also claims that didn't affect him at all, his youtube channel is currently dying.
Jim then goes on to eat an onion like an apple. Fitting because shrek also did that and they sure do look pretty similar. No offense to shrek though. I'd actually listen to that guys opinion on games. Then possibly the worst take he's ever had is that he thinks raw onion tastes nice. No one likes raw onion, it takes like shit and the texture ruins almost everything that it's put on. I respect cooks who can't cook onions about as much as I respect jim.
Jim goes off about acab which I'd normally take the piss out of him for, but after the past month in England I'll leave it out just this one time.
Jim wants to say that corporations don't care about the support of the public, this is bullshit. The public bullied cdpr into fixing their game, they've bullied valve into adding new content to tf2 and css2. Corporations do care about the public opinion, obviously they do, if the public hate you then they're not going to buy your shit. It might be motivated by money, but they still care about your opinion.
Jim you should not be bringing up the dictionary after showing photos of yourself, especially when friend and female are very close to each other.
Jim seems to think that for something to care about you it must be a person and be mutual. Idk about you guys but I'd consider my dog to be my friend, she cares about me and it's definitely mutual. A therapist cares about you, but they're not really your freind either.
The love fanbases have for the companies is not a one way street, sure it is not equally reciprocated. But it's not one way by any means. How the fuck is it one way? They made the fucking game jim. That's pretty big. You can't have a fanbase without a game to be a fan of.
Jims back on thinking that the only way for the journo to be in the wrong is if there was an nda. That's just more bullshit. once again if you go against something the game explicitly asks you for then you can't be surprised that you get banned. Games ask people not to cheat, by jims logic those cheaters should be being sued i guess?
Jim does say that there's no honour in games journalism which man I thought broken clocks we're meant to only be right twice a day, so far this is the third time in this video he's said something agreeable.
Why has this video on a valve game turned into another pitchford hateboner? Yea we get it he's a shitty person, can you at least fucking try to stay on topic though? Also jim taking the piss out of randy's squirt porn magic hits a lot less hard when, well, you've seen jim.
Jim once again admits that this situation is not very serious, so why are you making a video on it? He still thinks that the hate towards the journalist is disproportionate but by the looks of it he was mostly looking in the comments of the article that would only be used by the people that hate the journalist the most.
Jim seems to think that there was no ethical issues? I mean there kinda was though. Not massive ones, but still, it's a bit of a scummy move to do something that the devs don't want you to do. Not a hard concept to grasp. Write an article about it and then publish it when the embargo lifts maybe? Jim then obviously brings up gamergate which I'm still not sure why that's a bad thing. Games journalism is a joke and people were rightly pissed off about it? Jim in this video said that there's no honour in games journalism but is now defending it from criticism?
Yea there have been leaks reported in games journalism before. Remember those gta 6 leaks a while ago that were getting constantly dmca strikes? There was another game like that too recently, I remember someone's channel being deleted because they talked about some leaks without even showing anything. Leaking will get dmcas, it's not like there's never been consequences for it. And in the grand scheme of things, he was banned from one fucking game. That's it. This isn't news. This is keemstar level idea of 'news'
Jim again says that the gaming community makes mountains of molehills. In a video where he does that, on a channel dedicated to doing exactly that, by a man who does nothing but exactly that. Those in glass houses jim.
Jim finally admits that this was just not enough to make a video on, halfway through the video. He's admitting that the entire thing is retarded. I'll sum up my opinion on it. The journalist broke an agreement in game and got banned for it. I don't feel bad for him. People then got pissed off because it's the internet. I remember hearing about this a week or so ago, I heard nothing about it the day after because it's just nothing. The time it takes to watch this entire video is probably 10x longer than it would take me to read all the comments on the article. Journo retarded deserved ban. Simple. Ok so he admits that the journo drama is probably long enough to be it's own video. Yet he has already written another script. So why not make it two videos? Two topics is a strange midpoint. You're not making one focused video, and you're not doing a weekly roundup. Split this video in half and upload the bethesda shit tomorrow. 'There is no shortfall he says', can we crowdfund him a mirror. You're full of them. There's also a longfall, we call that one socialblade.

'There is no shortfall he says', can we crowdfund him a mirror. You're full of them. There's also a longfall, we call that one socialblade.
Now the doom thing. Sounds like it's about some rerelease issues. Doom can run on anything though, there's probably already some way to play doom on whatever console he's going to be talking about.
Jim goes on to complain that he's too autistic to deal with a new demon because it screams too loud, when the purpose of it is probably to scream loud. Once again, and I've said this one a lot about jim, making your audience feel negative emotions is not a bad thing. I know youre trans and used to being lovebombed through any issue from death to a broken nail, but that's not normal people. Being made to feel bad emotions is not some torture technique. Demons are bad, they scream, that screaming should be audially unpleasant, because it's a demon.
So the rerelease, that I think is free? I'm not sure because jim hasn't really said anything and this is the first thing I'm learning about it. This version has mods, and there's no qc for them. Apparently there's an issue with this, but that's how nigh on every modbase works. I could upload something to steam or nexusmods or curseforge regardless of quality. The issue with mods is that there's a load of copyright infringement. Wow! Shocker! Never fucking saw that one coming. And jim dont fucking pretend to care about copyright you clearly dont. His main issue seems to be that people are taking mods and uploading them even though they didn't make them. Pretty scummy I'll admit. So did you get permission to use all those comics? Those adverts? The music? The cartoons? Once again, those in glass houses. Also I don't really give too much of a shit, it's not like they're getting paid or anything. They're basically just rehosting stuff, not entirely ethical but also nothing new. A lot of these mod are probably made by people who have retired by now and can't upload them themselves too.
Jim seems to think that it's an issue with the corporate side not giving credit. But it's the people uploading the mods that are the ones not giving credit? Could the company have a tighter vetting process? Of course. But do you really expect them to be cross referencing every mod they receive with other versions to check the authors? How do they know anyway? If it's a different platform it might just be the same person with a different username. Rehosting mods is a thing that's happened for ages now, I wouldn't consider it the pinnacle of morality but it's not like the people doing the rehosting are getting paid for it. (that i know of so far from this video)
He's still going on about how you're a terrible person for the media you consume. He's really acting as though people don't separate art from artist. No one's playing cod because they want to support women having their breastmilk stolen or whatever. They play the game because they like the game, that's the extent of their thought process. Normal people are not going to moralfag every game they play. Normal people do not care because they are not autistic like you jim.
Why the fuck is he even talking about this? I clicked on a video about the new valve game. Why are you going off about an unrelated topic in the unrelated tacked on shit you shoved on the end? Yes corporate monoplies are bad and not good and stinky and poop and what the fuck does this have to do with doom? Microsoft is a bad company for buying a load of smaller companies ergo doom modding bad? I don't get it.
Now for the intro, valve is good actually. Certainly didn't seem it from the rest of the video. 'There was a RUMOUR going around a WHILE AGO that microsoft was looking to buy valve' he says. And is now going on about how that's a bad thing for a while. There's a reason I capitalised those three words. This is just like the corpo version of rent free. You heard a rumour ages ago and are now still talking about how scared it makes you? Unironically go outside, touch grass. Or at least be worried about something important. The entire country over here just went full fascist and is collapsing, if you're going to let news mald in your brain at least let it be some important news instead of an old rumour.
Jim goes on to complain that he's too autistic to deal with a new demon because it screams too loud, when the purpose of it is probably to scream loud. Once again, and I've said this one a lot about jim, making your audience feel negative emotions is not a bad thing. I know youre trans and used to being lovebombed through any issue from death to a broken nail, but that's not normal people. Being made to feel bad emotions is not some torture technique. Demons are bad, they scream, that screaming should be audially unpleasant, because it's a demon.
So the rerelease, that I think is free? I'm not sure because jim hasn't really said anything and this is the first thing I'm learning about it. This version has mods, and there's no qc for them. Apparently there's an issue with this, but that's how nigh on every modbase works. I could upload something to steam or nexusmods or curseforge regardless of quality.

Overall a journo fucked up and Jim wants to pretend that he didn't. Yes the fuckup was pretty small and insignificant, but it was still a fuckup. And also doom is bad because it allows mods or something? Another fantastic video about nothing important that will be forgotten in a day and will have no impact on anyone's life. Ready to be remade in a week's time. God bless for gin indeed you fucking lard creature.

I got to the first comment he complained about and stopped there, nothing more worth talking about imo because I want to talk about this.
A comment Jim seems to take issue with, but isn't this true? Hasn't there been plenty examples of publishers blacklisting outlets from having access to pre-release stuff because they gave bad press? Isn't this why press embargoes became a thing? Hasn't Jim been blacklisted in the past too? I'm not sure why Jim not only takes issue with this comment and proceeds to misinterpret the point trying to be made when its a perfectly valid one.

Jim just wants to support this person because big company bad. They fucked up and that person is retarded but Jim will defend him because Jim is a borderline contrarian. He's supporting them because company bad gamer bad journo good. Though admittedly Jim going through the same thing doesn't really mean shit because he doesn't see anything wrong with it. He thinks it's just some sort of journalistic requirement to leak this sort of shit. It's entirely true and there will be game devs who will not trust this person with any prerelease stuff because of this. It's not really about giving bad press to the game, it seems like the article was just kinda average or positive, it's more about breaking the trust.

Thanks for providing the receipt but man it feels so good to hear a classic JQ, to have him go "its scummy but I get it" when talking about the bullshit publishers do would be unthinkable nowadays.

Bethesda blacklisted Kotaku for leaking the Fallout 4 script years before the game was announced I'm pretty sure. It's nothing new. Tantalizing as it is for journos to release leak news it makes total sense why a publisher of said leak would want nothing to do with you after.
It is funny how journos looooove to suck devs cocks at the expense of the ever evil gamer... Up until they get some juicy leaks and reap what they sow.

I hate it, because it tells me nothing about the video's content unless I am already aware of the stories. All I know is Valve's game Deadlock leaked, and Nightdive put out a DOOM remaster, and even with that context I could not tell you what this video is likely to be about.
I didn't think you could get more obnoxious than those cryptic clickbait 'The celebrity who ended their career with on interview' titles, where the thumbnail is a silhouette and text like 'They said WHAT?!', but somehow this feels worse because Jim thinks he's being clever.
I'm not sure if it's in the video Gloria posted already, but for years Jim boasted about getting blacklisted by Konami (and possibly also Ubisoft) for refusing to bend the knee.
I used to admire him for this but as time goes by I start to wonder if it was his unfavourable reviews/opinions or him being an arrogant, combatative asshole that made publishers want nothing to do with him.
After all, Yahtzee made a career out of shitting all over games and industry practices and he continued to get review copies.

Still want to know what that clip was at the beginning of the show with the penguins. The only part of the video that made me laugh out loud.

Maybe they just realised that giving him special access didn't result in any extra sales because his influence is basically 0

If I were in marketing relations, Jim would be soft blacklisted just by virtue of his regular habit to review things that aren't the game. Why would Ubisoft want to give him a review code when we all know he's not gonna talk about the new Ubisoft game, just their old workplace accusations. Same for ActiBlizz, EA, etc. Smaller labels and publishers are likely to do the same for similar reasons, but with the addition of just not wanting to particularly have your product associated with Jim.
I do say soft blacklist over hard blacklist because I doubt he's actually on a veritable no-fly list in any of these companies, just that any review of any product review he did touch is going to be an indicator of the sort of negative actions you don't want to engage with. Better to leave him to be a post-release reviewer where his negativity is less likely to be able to damage a good launch, and if the launch is bad, people will be too busy talking about game bad to care about "but remember six years ago guys?" from Jim.
