United States Visa GET!
Jim Sterling \| 7:55 AM on 11.13.2008	66 comments

For the better part of a year, the question "How is Jim's move to the States coming along?" has been asked, only to be met with the same answer: "Oh it's happening." Well, today we have DEVELOPMENTS. So developed are these developments, in fact, that I can exclusively reveal the big answer.

Jim Sterling is confirmed to launch, with The Americas, on November 23.

Yes, just in time for the Holidays, Jim Sterling will be available to eager gamers across the US. Utilizing the unique forms of the Wii Interface, we can be sure that Jim Sterling is to be a mainstay in the homes of families across the US. Reggie really loves that throttle.

So there we are then. I'm leaving the homeland and finally get to be cool, because now *I* get to have a black President as well! Go me!

Love and cunts,

Jim.

P.S, I'll be stuck in JFK Airport for about six hours on the travel date, if any Dtoid New Yorkers fancy coming to the shitty airport to hang out with a very tired Jimmles. <3

Congratulations Jim, all the best. I hope it all works out and will miss your UK daytime news updates and musings.

I was listening to Podtoid yesterday and your comment about custom characters on Saints Row and yours being muscular. This meant that you appeared for a second in my dream looking lean and mean (not that you aren't anyway)... Confirmed! I am gay!

But yeah, good luck and leave me your job.

zapnut

Congratulations!

As another UK captive who made a dash for the States, it's good to see one of the UK's better game writers finally get to review games that actually get released.

Jim: As i'm sure you already know, (but as much as i love using the word) cunt over in the states doesn't go so well, it's much more offensive over in the states than it is at home in the UK. xD

Guagloves

Congrats Jim! Hope all goes well.

Maurice Tan

Holy shit, Change is coming by airplane!

SilverDragon1979

Jim Sterling, an asshole you can believe in. :-P

Welcome to America Jim, where you can do anything you like. You could even become a journalist. ;-)

Gameboi

Just in time to celebrate turkey day. Congrats. Also, what 311grassroots said.

Jamie McGinn

Don't do it Jim! It's not too late to repent!

ZombiePlatypus

The redcoats are coming!

The Incredible Edible Egg

Woah, I am all excited right about now.

Holyetheline

I hope you like it here JIM!

Aziel13

if only i was in NY

Clance

Is cunt suddenly not offensive in the UK? I couldn't say that word to my mum (not at her, I woudn't) - I think that is the one that is overboard.

If it is more offensive in the US I want a new, more offensive one over here to use. It's not fair.

Char Aznable

Welcome, man. Please be sure to participate in one of the most American of holidays on the 27th, and gorge yourself on turkey before passing out on the couch.

WE GET OFF WORK FOR THIS!

seltzermx

Are going to live in New York or elsewhere?

MrSadistic

You damn dirty immigrant.

aborto thefetus

Just 2 days after I'm getting in to JFK to visit family for Thanksgiving!

Jetrockite

Oh noes, now the United States of Britain has no good people who can write great constructive criticism.

Enjoy it there with your Barack Roll...

I just hope this BBcode works. If not... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4

Demios

Jimmles confirmed for US?!?! A huge exclusive.

Obama hasn't even taken office and he's already improving the country! YES WE CAN!

I fair thee well on thine venture to the colonies Sire!

Origim

Congrats my friend and now I have an excuse to head back to the south. Just to sodomize my favorite net writer.

NotAZombie

So you're coming to Ohio right? Right? I mean who wouldn't want to come here?

Half left

I consider this abandonment and defecting. Good day sir.

galagabug

sweet. explore the areas around JFK. they're really nice :) see how those survival horror skills play out in real life.

Joanna Mueller

Best of luck to ya Jim. My husband is an import and it is expensive as hell to keep him here.

garison

Gratz Jimolz. Come to Saskatchewan :P

power-glove

Do you have a time frame on when you are going to be in JFK? I may be able to stop by for a quick visit.

NotAZombie

@ Garison

He's coming to freedom-loving America not freedom-hating Canada. :p

falinter

Jim Sterling. Now verbally abusing Reggie in his own time zone!

CALkulon

Good luck man, hope it all goes well.

pendelton21

Of course this is what you were talking about on Podtoid. I am way, way too excited that you'll be on the same continent as me. Congrats.

Jim Sterling

Power-Glove:

I land at about 12:20pm on the 23rd. I need to do a bit of immigration bullshit when I get there but after then I'll be wandering around bored.

Justin Villasenor

YAY JIM GET!

CelicaCrazed

An "I <3 Obama" shirt will probably help the immigration work go much more smoothly. Also hide your Sega cartridges, the gamer-terrorist's weapon of choice.

casualweaponry

I'm in NYC, so I can make it to JFK. I'm sure some other Dtoiders would probably be able to make it out too.

BulletTrain

Ahh yes just in time for the best food centric holiday in the universe. Thanksgiving is fucking sweet.

I'm moving to Seattle here in the next week or so. Hooray for change! Hope you like the U.S.!

Mikey

Good luck and God speed.

Corak

Good stuff, welcome.

Stella Wong

Funktastic

greeneggsnsam

Darn immigrants TERKIN ERR JERBZ!

Brian Szabelski

Welcome to America, Mr. Sterling.

Sharpless

Hey, hey, hey, Obama is so not yours. You can borrow him a little, but you can't keep him.

eternalplayer2345

Congrats, Jim. Hope you enjoy your new life here. Also, cocks!

ZServ

OMGOMGOMG I might come and sex you up loverboy.

AgentMOO

Congratulations Jim! Try not to choke on the rich FREEDOM in the air here, it'll take some getting used to.

007

...The queen would be ashamed right now if she were to read this.

RonBurgandy2010

You're going to Mississippi, right Jim? That's what I heard. I live next door! And by next door, I mean a state away.
