Quantcast



Xbox Live Europe may not have Major Nelson, but it does have two handsome chaps who go by the name of "MrPointyHead" and "SuperKaylo." They are very much the PJ & Duncan of videogames and I think they do a good job, even though my friend refers to them as "that couple o' tits who present Xbox Live." 

Anyway, the latest episode of their "Sent U A Message" question-and-answer show went up on Xbox Live this week and is notable for mentioning a particular Destructoid editor in what could be described as a shockingly poor joke. The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie stars a certain Captain James Sterling. I'm sure you can already tell what our two intrepid hosts said about that. 

For reasons of pure egotism, I have posted the video for you to look at. It's literally nothing but a namedrop and a very obvious gag, but because it's about me, I felt it necessary to waste everybody's time and force you to watch it. Shut up, I'm posting on the frontpage and I can post about whatever I want! Even a Percy Jackson movie review if I wanted to so shut up!

Seriously though, I do like these guys, and it was rather cool to get a mention. 

[Thanks, Louie!]

James Sterling sounds as gay as the gay word itself.

Jim Sterling is where it's at!

After posting your movie review, don't forget to ban and insult people who would question it!

SO glad I made the Destructoid switch.

"It's literally nothing but a namedrop and a very obvious gag" thought that meant a fat joke, was pleasantly surprised.

yay, british kids with asian-styled hair, overly short sleeved t-shirts,7 o'clock shadow, and a penchant to suck the funny out of a room.

seriously, are these guys twins or are they purposefully supposed to look like they don't have an identity?

Are you going to be swabbing Nicole Wiebe's poop deck in this pirate game, Jim? Or at least plundering her booty with your skeleton key? Or pillaging her... vagina with your penis?

@SuperPretendo

Your a dumbass. Dtoid has never banned anyone for questioning a review. They don't even ban people who deserve it, you have to be a real dipshit or a spam bot to get yourself banned from this place.

I don't know why, but these two twats really irk me. I think it's their piss poor attempt at "comedy". At least that chick they've had on in recent weeks is a bit of eye candy, but these two bug the shit out of me.

I wish they were on the U.S. Xbox Live. I'd watch their show a lot more often if I didn't have to switch over to my UK gamertag to do it.

I swear to God if I have to watch that "Get so good can toy with your enemies" Gamestop ad I might have to go commit arson.

Agreed. Please stop accepting Gamestop as a sponsor. Their commercials are downright painful to watch the 1st time, let alone the 245678th time.

"apparently given up his day job editing destructoid" what??!?! you actually get paid for this shit, so like, its not a volunteer thing. I thought you might have had a proper job like a nurse or teacher and just fit destructoid around doing something actually important and benefiical to society. fuck me
