Quantcast



As you may or may not know by now, there has been a structural reshuffle over at ScrewAttack. Our fine friends over there have had some well-publicized differences of opinion when it comes to business and this has led to the departure of one of the company's staples, Handsome Tom.

As per ScrewAttack's Sidescrollers podcast, where company owner Stuttering Craig explained his position, ScrewAttack is looking into hiring new talent and providing a wider spotlight in the wake of Tom's leaving. Of course, nobody could replace Tom, and Craig isn't looking to replace Tom ...

But I should totally replace Tom. 

The above is my audition tape that I am going to use to be part of Screwing Attacks with Stutters Craig and the Nerd Who Dislikes So Many Games That He Plays. As you can see, my video editing skills are first rate, and I have produced the same kind of dazzling effects and audio level quality that rivals even the best Videogame Vault.

I even have my own nickname: England Jim From England. You can do little else but recognize my talent.

Man that game looked rubbish... must have been a Sega game. Maybe you should have left that to the Nerd who don't like stuff except shitty games that suck ass.....apparently.

You'd get my vote just keep it real holmes and name check the toid in every video

It's rare that words come out of Jim's mouth that I don't like.

If you don't get the job I shall say to ScrewAttack:
"Fuck, I cont believe you've done this..."

"Craig Who Stutters" would be mad to not bring you onto the "Screwing Attackers". Not only did you prove your video editing prowess but you even provided a hook to help expand their audience! A whole new demographic will tune in to hear "England Jim From England" talk about those silly electronic amusement games.

@Anus
I'm pretty sure the game he showed was Seguhs "Sunic The Hedgefrog". I remember all the kids talking about it.

ScrewAttack + Jim? This equation makes perfect sense, even if it isn't actually an equation.
