Last night I dreamed I met Jim Sterling.

I think I was supposed to be at a friends apartment or something, and Jim was just sitting there. I was like, "Holy shit it's Jim Sterling!" and he was nonchalant and said "Yes it is."

Now this was just a small part of the dream but was rather close to when I woke up. I don't know what the significance is or what it says about my subconscious, but I do know that it must have something to do with Jim's accent.

The first Podtoid I listened to was the last one Jim wasn't on, 95 or 96 I think. The show was really good, but at the end someone did an impression of Jim (I forget who). I was surprised by the British accent. I had no idea. I had read a bunch of articles written by him and had just pictured him as some cynical, sarcastic, American dude. This personality works better with a British accent, and I found myself paying more attention to Jim's articles, trying to picture his accent reading to me.

When the next Podtoid came around, I listened for his voice, a voice which would read me every single article on Destructoid, even if Jim didn't write it (unless it was written by someone else whose voice I've heard). Now, those damn sounds of his are even haunting me in my dreams. But I wonder if Jim's articles are good because he's a such a professional journalist, or if the accent is grand enough to alter my opinion...
