Finally, I'm Really Starting To like these

 

[TechTim]

love the use of the spoon as an eye patch, nice imagery

 

[Rblade]

eloquent Jim, some top class wordsmithing.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

0_0 Jim I never thought for a second that you, Yahtzee and TotalBiscuit sounded the same. In fact it baffles me that people think that you do.

I have heard it said that Jim tries to copy Yahtzee's sarcasm, but it's actually a surprisingly common medical condition which psychiatrists refer to as "cogitatio britannicus".

I have heard it said that Jim tries to copy Yahtzee's sarcasm, but it's actually a surprisingly common medical condition which psychiatrists refer to as "cogitatio britannicus".

There is a medication to treat it, but it's not commonly available outside the UK.

TBH, Jim sounds more like Diamanda Hagan than Yahtzee.

And before people criticise me for saying he sounds Irish, I said "more like."

As in, he's closer to her than Ben.

 

[Pescetarian]

Yeah, Yahtzee and his gaming industry analogies. It wears a bit thin when it's the title of the poem.

 

[rednightmare]

Wait, people think Jim sounds like Yathzee, really? No offense, but I feel Jim's accent is way more American then Yathzee's, probably because he has lived there for so long.
I honestly didn't even know he was British until he was part of the British expatriate panel at the Expo.

 

[Psychobabble]

Brilliant analogy Yahtzee. So now that the console people have their new shinny but not very different spoons, I wonder how long it's going to be before more than a few become outraged by the lack of interesting new soups to eat. The quality of the spoon means fuck all compared to the quality of the meal. And so far "this" gen console buyers look to be on a starvation diet.

And Jim I'm calling bullshit. Try as you might to convince us that the UK is a land of varied and diverse peoples you are fooling no one. We all know that you Brits are enchanted from the bowels of the earth like the Orcs from Mordor.

 

[AdagioBoognish]

Very nice poems this week, too many food analogies before breakfast. I need to go make some eggs.

 

[Evonisia]

Nice analogies. And as a northerner I hate the thought of all British people being grouped together under one accent (but excludes Scotland for some reason). Of course I could just be as vile and say there are only three accents in America, Redneck, "Standard" and New Yorkian.

My thought exactly!!
I was like WhatTheFuck!!??

But two nice poems this week again

But you see this quite often (well I've noticed it a lot). Just because two people have a British accent they are said to sound the same regardless of which region they come from. You could (as Jim pointed out) compare it to hearing two Americans. One with Southern accent and one with an accent from let's say... Boston and have someone reckon that they both sound the same. Which they probably wouldn't.

Yahtzee's rhyme was pretty damn clever and Jim's had me laughing... though I am English too, so that might have helped.

 

[shrekfan246]

A Jim Sterling/Yogscast crossover is something I could get behind. Your laughs are different enough to tell you apart, Jim. (I'd actually never thought Jim sounded like anyone except himself, to the point of the matter.)

So is the trowel a PC or Wii U in this situation? I MUST KNOW. FOR... SCIENCE. Or something.

I imagine the Wii U is the spork of the gaming consoles

I also imagine the trowel is a ZX Spectrum in this situation

 

[Zhukov]

Hang on, who ever said Jim and Yahtzee sound the same?

I don't know a damn thing about British accents, but I do have a functioning set of earholes and those two don't sound much like each other.

 

[fleischwolke]

IMHO this week goes to Yahtzee, although it was a pretty strong showing by Jim Sterling. Great series!

 

[Teoes]

I walked away from that one confused at the lack of mind bleach required for Jim's poetry. I wasn't expecting it to not be twisted and warped!
