What? YES!
I've just been talking to Codemasters, where I have been made an absolutely wonderful offer. The marketing team behind Rise of the Argonauts and Damnation has pledged a $1000 sponsorship for the Extra Life SingSterling Challenge! How about THEM CHARITY APPLES?!
In exchange for this terrific offer, I will be wearing an RotA or Damnation shirt for the event. A decent trade, I think, plus I get a free shirt for my trouble. They can bury me in it when I die from exhaustion!
Of course, this has given me a great new idea. In addition to the debasement I am already suffering by singing for 24 hours, I am now also officially offering my services as a CORPORATE WHORE! If you are a developer or publisher and you want free advertisement, then sponsor me for $1000 and I will wear an item of clothing promoting one of your games. I can swap out shirts on a regular basis, wear hats, jackets, gloves, even underwear if you want.
I will be making these offers in person at TGS, and I invite any and all industry folk to contact me at: jim @ destructoid.com. I will degrade myself further by being a walking, singing billboard for your products -- regardless of product quality -- for a $1000 sponsorship.
In the mean time, please join me and give a HUGE thanks to Codemasters and the Rise of the Argonauts/Damnation team! Don't forget to SPONSOR me as well!

You tortured soul...
That is Great... Capital G Great
Jim, wear a T-shirt with either my band name or just 'Clance 3:16' or 'Clance needs hiring' and I will give 25 quid...?
Not quite a G but it's something!
Hi there Jim I come from "I LOVE PENIS" inc. and here at "I LOVE PENIS" inc. we've decided we'd be just delighted were you to tattoo our company's name to your throat. We've decided to up the ante and offer 2,000$ 100% more than the asking price for you to carry through with this brilliant act of marketing genius.
Wow, that's amazing! Thanks, Codemasters!
I'm going go buy GRID now. And that other Open world racer once it comes out.
I'm serious, thanks Codemasters!
That's very nice of them, great work Codemasters.
Codemaster's that is awesome of you. Next time I'm out and see Overlord, I'm picking it up.
I have a question. If codemasters provides a game genie does that still count as you playing the game for twenty four hours? Or is that joke too obscure a reference for anyone to pick up on except of course for Dizzy.
My opinion of Codemasters has suddenly improved.
WoW!?
Free t-shirt AND $1000!?
You'll be wearing a t-shirt now? I wanted a topless Jiminy.
Could someone also sponsor a temporary tattoo on your buttocks (E on one buttock A on the other) and have you with your trousers around your ankles.
What in the hell is wrong with you?
Yeah suggesting he should accept EA sponsorship was low of me.
James, I'll happily sponsor you £500 to do the event in Dynasty Warriors underpants. And by £500, I actually mean 20p. Credit crunch and stuff.
Yes! EA should sponsor you to put like a Dead Space logo on your crotch!
Fingers crossed in hope that Koei will donate $2000 and a full on Lu Bu costume for Jim to wear.
So this is the kind of sweet deal Gamespot has been rolling in all this time (minus the charity part)???
The dark side is so tempting.
You could also stick some posters on the wall.
Wow, this is really cool of Codemasters, but what is it going to cost me for you to do with no shirt at all?
I'm hoping this somehow ends up with a shirtless Jim wearing a Too Human hat, Mass Effect briefs, and a monocle.
In this case, totally worth it.
I will now purchase a Codemasters game. I don't even think I'm joking.
Jim, if I pledge 1000 dollars, will you wear DBZ Scout Meter monocles?
It should be said that Codies have more than doubled the amount pledged by D-Toid users.
ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
codemasters, I'm gonna go out and buy one of your games now.
Codemasters
I will not go out and buy one of your games
However, I shall wait eagerly for hte next Overlord because
A) the first was epic
and B) You are now epic
How lovely of them to sponsor
Now let's hope Koei will too for all pimping Jim has given them
Way to go Codemasters. <3
That is seriously cool.
CODEMASTERS, Thank you! If I had $1000... I'd donate $700 and would keep $300 to buy games.
THANK YOU, CODEMASTERS!
Thanks Codemasters.
Thank you codemasters, and THANK YOU, Mr Sterling.
huh. make good games AND they're generous. Codemasters is pretty awesome.
I'm gonna go buy a Codemasters game because that's what they wanna hear.
Also, it'd be great if you end up looking like a NASCAR auto by the end of the whole deal.
That's EPIC! Congrats! Oh hey sterling, what SingStar are you gonna play? will you play mutable games? (editions?)
thats awesome. and your fucked sterling.
