Thanks, but no thanks Escapist. This was neither entertaining, nor enlightening. I will not be coming back to watch this guy.
PS: I want that 6 minutes of my life back.

The only reason I don't feel an emotional reaction is it taking place far away and transmitted as innocent bits. If this would happen in a physical vicinity, I would get the hell out as soon as an opportunity presents itself.
The pic looked like Philip Gleisner.

You know what?
I agree with pretty much everything he said. He articulated it fairly well and made points I've been going over in my head for ages.
BUT!
I still couldn't wait for the video to end. This guy shits me even more than Lisa Foiles.

I was really excited to see someone I thought was going to be Jim Cornette doing something on the Escapist..
Imagine how disappointed I was to see this guy.. For a first video he's pretty.. bad.. Spends most of his time stuttering over himself, contradicting his own viewpoints and just adding foul language in there for no real reason.. Yes I know some people on here do it but they have done it to comic effect, this guy is just, offensive.. He doesn't even seem to know what he's talking about in parts and, as stated before, contradicts his own statements.. Thumbs down.

Sorry dude, but I dont think i'll be a fan.
The only good point you made is that video games and movies are different things and should be treated as such. You repeated that point a lot, but you didnt give many reasons why. Like, the majority of people above 30 think that video games are for kids as they didnt grow up on games which means that they will never understand the attraction to them. And they're the ones with the money, power and influence to make video games look bad.
Plus you just come across as a Yahtzee-Movie Bob hybrid without the intelligence or gift of the gab.

This is a great time to point out the importance of revision, and the general rule in writing and composition that you should listen to yourself read or perform what you've written before you consider it finalized. This is like a first-take rough-draft awful mess. Visually boring, inarticulate, repetitive, with unsubstantiated and unexplained arguments. A lot of just-so claims, and no real payoff for wading through it all. I'm almost sorry I gave this show a chance.
While amusing, it's nothing that hasn't been covered already, more eloquently, on this very site.
Aside from the accent and unique, uh, look ... there is nothing here that isn't better covered by EC. But hey, it's week 1, and the presence of cock and balls in the video tells me they're trying to play up the shock value, so I'll give it a few more weeks before I pass personal judgment.

*sigh*
this guy is horrible, it`s like you took Movie Bob and Yahtzee, added them together and sucked out the interesting dialog and opinions.
This guy is not funny.

Ugh. Simplistic, shallow, and irritating. Out of everyone at Destructoid, why did it have to be Jim? We couldn't have gotten Chad Concelmo instead?
You know what really irritates me? Talking about video games like it's all the same medium. There are very few things Frogger has in common with Half Life 2, aside from pressing buttons to make things happen on a computer's screen. It'd be like lumping comics in with text novels because they both appear in print.

this man in my opinion is undeserving of a spot and related add space he inhabits. He needs to upgrade the production value of his works before submitting them. poorly lit white backdrop is a mistake noone should be making on this site.
sorry sir but you are small time
