I actually don't mind it. It brings up some good points that video games should do, and I do somewhat enjoy his witty sarcasm.

His first episode was atrocious but he's gotten sooo much better since then. He makes good points and his persona, while nothing special, works well for him. I look forward to every new episode.
I enjoy the bits where he's not on screen. As in when he's not acting like a dick on purpose and just making a point.
Acting like a dick, even in satire IMO, is worse than being a dick and not knowing it.
It just grates me everytime he does the whole "Thank God for me." schtick. I know too many people that actually think like that to find it funny.

I didn't hate the first episode as much as many other people but I wasn't exactly fond of it. His later episodes are great, though. He makes good points but also makes his shows funny. I think the best example of this is his video on immaturity in gaming.
In the beginning, no, but now that he's mostly using his voice with videos and picture to supplement, I'm really starting to like the series.
I enjoy his show, it's like if Zero Punctuation had a baby with the Game Overthinker.
As for the negative comments, as time went on people grew fonder of him. I didn't start watching until a few episodes in (as I do with most escapist shows, even though there's so many nowadays that it makes my head spin) so I've never seen reason to complain, even when I watched his first few videos after the dust had settled.

I used to HATE the show with a passion but now i love it If people don't like it they don't have to watch it
Watched the first 3 episodes I think, and had to force myself to finish each one. I just don't like the guy. Sorry.
I like the points he makes, and since he's been doing interesting topics that aren't talked about, and has such command over the subject, I've enjoyed learning. He may talk about it from a 'high ground,' but when he makes the points, he does so strongly and without hesitation, which I like
But then he ends his episode calling himself the savior and I quickly get left with a bad taste in my mouth. I don't mind when he talks like that during the actual content, but watching someone do that out of context and such ruins it a bit for me. Especially when his topics are about people who's own greed and lack of humility ruin good things.

I haven't really watched it since the first few, which were plagued by a lot of inconsistency with the tone, jumping in and out of satire. Assuming he's gotten better at that (it seems like something that someone could easily improve on over time), I'd be interested in watching more of it.
So Escapists, should I watch more of it or is just not for me?

Sterling makes some interesting points. Ultimately I like it... but I really hate the character.
Nope. The world's got enough internet douchebags, and one more, "satirical" or not, isn't impressing me.
I never did mind the presentation, but I would like to see more detailed fact-finding.
"Metacritic is not the problem!" Absolutely!
"Nintendo is being Stupid!" Preach on Brother!
"Be as Childish as you have to be!" ... wait, what?
Sorry, but I have to stop the bus before we roll into the "Hey lets all be giant twats!" neighborhood. Its true that the Outrageous Personal Attacks Network doesn't play by the rules, but you're not going to get any street cred with me by claiming that gamers need to use the same low brow tactics.
He gets a conditional 'Like' vote from me.
