Back by unpopular demand, it's The Videogame Show What I've Done, the most informative and in-depth video series online. Having been on a brief hiatus because of industry, and not because I was too lazy, VSWID is back with a bang as it tackles one of the biggest games in history, Final Fantasy VII

So, for the two people who asked if VSWID was ever returning from much-needed obscurity, consider this my gift to you. Sit back, enjoy, and let us all remember a true gaming classic. This video series will never be popular, and with good reason.

10 points for Rogue Trooper mention.

I had the same problem while changing discs. Except mine turned into a wierd stealth game that took place in Alaska.

Whenever I do watch this show, I'm always disappointed, props for being consistent I guess. Like when you're driving by a car crash, even though you don't want to see the head rolling, this show always delivers.

Whenever I read articles by Jim Sterling, the trolls always disappoint me. props for being consistent I guess. like when I'm looking at a video on game trailers, even though I don't want to see the list of text-based diarrhea at the bottom, that site always delivers.

Go back to gametrailers, d-bag.

bmart008: To be fair mate, if you're watching a video series twenty episodes in and are still disappointed, it's probably your fault for watching something that you already know all about and expecting something different.

I'm glad to hear that disc change made others sick too. I thought I was completely alone on that one.

I'm sad because I don't get to see Jim Sterling all day. I love Jim Sterling because I know he loves me back. *Ring* *Ring* Ooh, maybe that's Jim Sterling!

But seriously, these videos are awesome. Looking forward to many more what that you have done for me to watch them.

Glad that it's back, but this episode wasn't all that funny. I guess the whole vomit thing lasted too long or something. Hope the next one is better for me.

Not my favorite, but still laugh-worthy. The whole sick-on-sick-on-sick story could've been filler for any VSWID, despite being hilarious. Nods to Rogue Trooper and Veruca Salt didn't hurt.

Please bring the cat's disapproving stare into a future Uncle Reg tale. Thank you.

"This video series will never be popular, and with good reason." Second episode I've ever watched, I'm guessing I've missed something. Jim, I love your articles and reviews. I think I'm not getting this though...

Hooray for more VSWID. I liked the lack of Uncle Reg for a change of pace but also agree that the vomit sick part was a bit uninspired. However, "my decision is Final..." and "J. Bieber" were top notch VSWID material. Thanks for bringing back the show. In the wake of all of the departures, it's nice to see something familiar and funny.

Stupid Xbot, you should have played the game on a playstation so you didn't have to switch discs. Noob.
