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

[Matthew Abbott]

I've been busy, so I haven't had a chance to watch videos until today...that explains why my Podtoid feed wasn't updating...boo...

Well, glad Jim's fully on board here, I just hope he Conrad and Holmes still do a podcast (a spiritual successor to Podtoid if he won't continue on with just that).

I have kinda mixed views on Sterling, overall. I generally think he's a very smart guy and I generally agree with his opinions, editorials, and reviews, wholeheartedly. I just, sorta... can't take him. My wife laughs at Yahtzee despite saying she finds his voice grating. That's how I feel about Sterling. I can put up with his reviews and his editorials, but the voice can get a bit irritating and once I connect the voice and the face (mannerisms), I find that, while I agree with him, I also have this urge to punch him in the mouth at the same time.

Am I the only one?

Nah, i'm with you there. I know the smugness is meant to be a character but he reminds me of some spod i went to school with who i loathed. My partner agrees with your wife re: Yahtzee's voice as well!

I just listened to Dismal Jesters for the first time when Jim was recovering from his tooth extraction. His non-sequiters on his show idea for "Edward James Almost" had me in tears and the uncomfortable feeling he seems to generate with Jonathan Holmes is downright comical. I'm not sure I can listen to it all the time (he started lowing me in the 20 minute story of the fictional concert and turkey skiing), but it was a good laugh.
