You know, I used to be one of Jim's vehement detractors, but ever since the Rev Rants died off, this is actually... a welcome replacement. Jim has certainly shaped up into an amusing character.
You had me at Jimquisition. I think you could just stare at a camera blankly for 2 minutes and get away with it with a name like that. Bravo sir.
@Gaidenrider - Do note however, that Jim tends to heartily thrust his name only into words where it already fits seamlessly. Jim-Box 360 does sound hilarious though.

Great job. I can't wait for some more. Hopefully you can get your video stuff worked out so it won't be so hard next time.
Like lower the music by 50% or more, and use something without ANY vocal cause it's playing right over top of you, might as well not be saying anything.
More pictures little less Jim, and it is set. Like draw a Crayola style character to represent you instead and have it doing stuff like pissing into an ice tray. TOTAL WIN.

I still can't reconcile your voice with your image. You're huge and you have a tiny little man voice.
Having said that, I enjoyed The Jimquisition and would watch more.

I think in a lot of cases, it's people who are massive fans of a particular game who cry 'rip-off'. But it annoys me when people slag off a game because it's 'too similar' to another highly rated game. It's kind of like slagging off a guy for looking too much like Brad Pitt or George Clooney.
But great video, Jim. Hope this becomes a somewhat regular thing.

A little more focus and I think the message would have been delivered better. I like the concept of a video series as you are British and anybody British automatically sounds interesting when they rant.
Don't worry Jim! I also have camera fright! Anyways, can you please bring back the Friday Fanboy arguments or whatever it was called??!!
Awesome, great work Jim :P
But it's funny but I never expect you to have this king of voice. And I still can't pinpoint the accent...

I enjoyed this however I think you should try and get "Mean" Gene Oakland to introduce and question you.
Also if you were trying to render in HD whilst maintaining your aspect ratio using Sony Vegas (which is an almighty arsehole of bitch) the only format it'll do it in is WMV, unless you upgrade to super mega expensive butt rape edition.

Based on this music, you and Ryan Davis would get along very well.
I have a roommate that tells me weekly how many games copy Devil May Cry... WEEKLY...

Yes I rather do get a good chuckle, reading those fanboy comments, there should be more Fanboy Fridays, just cause I'm tired of reading every comment to see if they make a fool of themselves *shot*

Please. We all know that Ico and The Last Guardian are just rip offs of A Boy and His Blob.
/removes tongue from cheek
Pretty good the first in a series. Hope you don't go through the same hell you went through getting this up however often you do this though.

That was awesome Jim. Seriously, I really liked it. It almost reminds me of Rev Rants (Jim Rants anyone??). I would love to see more of these post-haste!
@Oshidesu/RoverTHX
Jonathan Ross was the editor who ran Fanboy Friday, and he announced a while back that FF was going on an indefinite hiatus. It doesn't look like it'll be coming back any time soon.

PappaDukes: While I'll tackle totally different things (Rev was always more interested in development and high concepts, while I'm more of a community/controversy guy) I do hope these videos fill the gap left by the ending of the Rev Rant series.
"Then you sir are evil, like... Pol Pot, or... Venom."
Lmao at the ending!
Either you are an editing king, Jim, or that was one really long take, and the latter is fairly fucking amazing. It showed that you aren't used to the video-soapbox format but you did a great job of presenting a cogent, structured argument in spite of your discomfort. Christ, and it was unscripted? Fair fucking play!
This plagiarism business - it needed to be said that people are tallying the accusation around without knowing quite what they're saying. You're spot on here. It's like blaming... fucking... meatballs of plagiarizing spaghetti bolognese, or Protestants of plagiarising Catholics. Or someone who uses propositional argumentative techniques of plagiarising Aristotle. 'If it's similar, it's plagiarism.' Fuck off.
More videos plz

I personally would enjoy a yahtzee-esque version of this.
Then again, this video was talking about rip-offs...

Jim, seeing you on video makes me think you're Alex Verrey...except with coarse language. And shorter. And no spiky hair.
Byronic Man: To be fair, I did fuck a few takes up so I had a *little* practice with saying a few of those things, but this final video was indeed one take and unscripted. I hope to be able to get better and better as I keep doing them.
Also, really glad people seem to like it so far. I was really hoping this could be a cool new series.

Very classy, sir!

Good stuff, which will only get better as you get even more comfortable behind the camera. Deadly premonition music is great too.
OMG Jim! I love you! LOL... You said what I was saying and couldn't get anybody to realize when Dante came out. Fucking idiots.
@Jim Sterling - I wholeheartedly agree! I thought Rev Rants were pretty interesting, but none of them really ever struck a chord with me. But right off the bat, your very first video just hammers the point home and with humor to boot!
Gracias senior Jeemy, gracias.

Excellent video,Jim. Seems like we have an official badass in the D-Toid video dept.Haha!
I frankly didn't like Dante' Inferno but that doesn't mean it was right calling it a blatant rip-off of God of War. Ditto to DarkSiders being called a Zelda rip-off.And we all know just how "rabid" some Zelda fanboys can be.

Also, the fact that you talk exactly like one of my friends is hilarious.
