Jim Sterling Leaves Destructoid (UPDATE: Jim Joins The Escapist!)

[Lightknight]

Hmm, looks like we just have to wait until he announces where his reviews will take place.

 

[Dragonbums]

Not exactly a friendly community either... but maybe that's just me.

While nowhere close to other communities like Gamespot and IGN, the amount of insults thrown at people, and users going on about off topic discussions that span pages is ridiculous.

 

[Rad Party God]

Oh Jimothy, you sexy, controversial hunk of a man, I'll follow you wherever you go.

Best of luck on your future endeavors, I'm looking forward to them

 

[Rabidkitten]

NO MORE PODTOID?!?! NOO!!!!

As a few of you guessed and hoped, Jim will indeed be joining the site.

SO exciting! In his Deadly Premonition Part 3 on youtube he kind of suggested he had a new job, and I assumed it was here

This pretty much means that I don't have to go anywhere else for gaming stuff, besides the occasionally foray onto Twitch and YouTube.

 

[Weaver]

I wonder how many new users we'll see now?

 

[Weaver]

Podtoid?!

He talks briefly about it all here if you're wondering:

It's time for business.

Fuckin' business.

 

[Barbas]

"The Escapist is now changing callsigns. We are now Jim Force One."

Welcome aboard, sir.

Part of me wants Jim to join the others in the Podcat, but the rest of me wonders if they could handle being in his presence, as one could attempt to handle being in the presence of Helios without bursting into flames and going mad simply by being in the periphery of his radiance.

When we discussed the job, Podcat appearances were requested as part of my duties. It'll be on a call-in basis (barring those moments when I'm at HQ for things), but Podcat is on my to-do list.

I am very pleased to hear you're joining the editorial staff, Jim. I've been following this site for a long time and have always felt it lacked a cohesive, strong voice in the review-o-sphere. Don't get me wrong, the site has seen its fair share of decent reviewers, but no game review I've ever read here can stand up to the quality stuff you cranked out during your time with Destructoid.

Here's hoping you can use your new pull with the site to get Willem Dafoe on as a guest columnist. Think of the possibilities!

Oh well, I'm freaking happy! But you should prepare for a barrage of "PODCAT?! PODCAT! HEY JIM WHERE'S PODCAT?!".

As long as it doesn't involve a Alien: CM sex doll I'm fine with anything.
I look forward to your many sexual adventures and reviews Jim.

Now if I could see anything ... it would be you, AngryJoe, Totalbiscuit and Yahtzee going out to downtown in a hangover like movie but with games ... and David Cage as that monkey for emotions. (I'm kidding ... I think?)

Snip

Who are you and what have you done with Fappy!?
His cat avatar was the talk of the Avatar town with it being all winking and everything.

... I'll buy that avatar for ... a shrubbery!
But all seriousness, hai Fappy~

Herro to you as well!

In a Blazblue mood lately and the new mediocre anime adaption produced this super cool gun-summoning sequence that I just couldn't pass up. Mao will probably be back in a month or so. He always comes back ;3

It is fantastic that Jim has joined the Escapist team full time. Unfortunately, I feel much less reasons to follow Dtoid as often now but it makes this website even better now. I always enjoyed Jim's reviews the most on dtoid plus I'm glad the dtoid trio are creating a new podcast. I need to listen to that later today. Congrats Jim on the new job!
