You wanted different, you got different. You wanted intelligent, you got intelligent. You wanted less sledgehammer satire, you got less sledgehammer satire. Presenting a new video product from yours truly and in association with Dtoid Video. I humbly offer to you my opus -- The Descent of Fan.
The Descent of Fan is a new educational series of short "Vidlectures" dedicated to the study and understanding of that most enigmatic of creature, the videogame fanboy. Although entertaining, The Descent of Fan aims to inform and inspire, to feed the mind and probe the senses. Sure, we hope to spark the occasional smirk, but more importantly, we want to ignite the brain.
Or, to put it more honestly, this is a test episode just to see if it works and if it sucks I promise I'll either never do it again or keep doing it, only louder. Please watch and let us know what you think. I really hope you like it.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

i am bracing for something
And that sexualchocolate bit was fan-fucking-tastic!
That said, hearing badly worded statements from comments threads read out in a reasonable voice is always funny, I'm all for more of that.
Wait, what?
in one of my business class they used to say any advertisement is a good advertisement..
Were people complaining about your vido's being too childish or something?
The only thing I'll nitpick about is I didn't like the reading of all the individual youtube comments containing "It only does everything." I think you could have cut the ist in half and got the same point across. Other than that, nice work.
Although "Xbox 360, it only does shooters" did make me LOL.
Chuckle-worthy and I'd definitely watch this series.
That and the fact that his usual style was getting a bit old, even for regular fans.
Call Wilson.

Honestly I kind of dislike your choice of topic, because it included 2 of the 3 things I used to do on the internet but have sworn off forever. Reading YouTube comments and making fun of fanboys. Both can contain brief bouts of hilarity followed by crippling depression that I've actually spent time on these morons.
For the curious, the third thing is signing internet petitions, because that just makes you a tool.
Should've at least read the Youtube comment list quicker. I could have done the same amount of comments in half the time.
