Oi cunts,

Check out this little article on IGN UK called Fear 101: A Beginner's Guide to Survival Horror. It is an article on the Internet that you can read with your eyes:

Clicktung!

Please draw one's attention to the name under the title. Yes, that is your humble narrator, now stationed with the aristocrats of the games media industry, sipping wine and eating éclairs from between the pink breasts of moist French peasant girls.

That, or I just complete a freelance contract and, much to your chagrin, am not actually going anywhere.

Still, this little phrase:

"by Jim Sterling, IGN UK"

Is a scary fucking thought, wot?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Uh oh, Jim. Now you're a journalist and not a blogger. You can't attach random pictures to your articles any more!

I will miss Jim Sterling, but I do hope that we can all accept Jim Worthsomethingnow Sterling as his humble replacement.

You should probably tell people about the renaming of The Podcastle to "The IGNISAWESOME Podcastle"

Does this mean we can replace all the "Beeps" in the last Podtoid with "IGN" ?

Damn it, apparently my old IGN login doesn't work any more and I can't bring myself to create a new one... how am I supposed to comment on the article and accuse you of anti-Sony bias?

Ah, so that's what you were talking about in the last podcast. I figured it was IGN.

Also, I'm happy I know another person who uses the word "chagrin". Makes me feel less silly.

I can't believe you just made a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest reference... Poor McMurphy, the Indian did the right thing.

I presume all the filthy revenue being generated is going to whores and debauchery, as in only suitable.

Hells yeah, easy money. I find it odd that you bothered to add things like punctuation and words. A bunch of pretty pictures would have been more than enough to entertain THAT audience.

Show off.

No more filling articles with senseless blabbing and no more stuff like Dark Sector wants to Darken Your Sector.

I actually saw the article earlier this evening, but passed it up, thinking, I kid you not, "Who cares about opinions on survival-horror if they're not from Jim Sterling?"

Next stop: Gamespot!
