Jim this amazing.
You say that you were a failed comedian, how?
These are funnier than zero punctuation and all the other shows even remotely similar to this.
I got tired of disparaging in the comments and stopped watching for a while.
Then I watched this, and I don't know why I did it. But I laughed.
God help me! I LAUGHED! Very good job.
Jim, you made a mistake. Clearly that was footage from Doom 64 because I knows this because I played that game one time and the graphics are better than Doom 2 so it was Doom 64 because there are chainsaws. In it. Halo is clearly the best game ever made.
did I get ripped off? My halos was not like this, it had 3 more colours. Colours aren't next gen, I think I got ripped off. Thanks for the heads up, Jim!
I really liked this one, Jim. Very funny. You have quite a career ahead of you. I heard on the podcast that you're looking to get into voice acting. Well, do it already!
Jim you Sony fanboy, you got the main character wrong. He wears green, is the only one in the army whose any good at combat, carries around a hot small blue thing, and has to deal with floods. ITS LINK YOU BRITISH JACKASS!!!!!
Every since that swine flu thing started going around, I've noticed that British people just aren't as funny as they used to be. It's a shame. Now I have to get all my laughs from French Canadians and inebriated Cajuns..
Another one that goes to this shitty player. One by one, all video content on this site got unwatchable and no one here seems to give A SHIT about the complaints some users have made, not a explanation, no nothing. Nice going then, cya around, thanks for the awesomeness of the past year.
I can't be the only one who feels that this needs a lot of work, can I?
Stop with the silly affected accent, stop with the unfunny and predictable attempts at humor, and don't rip off the fake reviews that Something Awful used to do unless you can do it better. In those reviews,they would often mix up screenshots and character names (the first two things you do in this video) or pretend to not fully comprehend the game they were talking about (which you do throughout this video). I can see that this has influenced this production, and I beg you to look elsewhere for "inspiration".
Jim, you need to work on your writing "style". There is no reason to transparently signal your feelings about a topic by adding awkward and unnecessary descriptors to your news stories like, " . . . said the obviously insane and pathetic man." This comes off as childish.
Also, take off the monocle. It's not amusing or interesting, and it makes you look like the attention-starved freshman kid with the silly, unwieldy hat.
Please don't take this as an attempt to troll or whatever, as these are just honest opinions. I am aware that you or someone else might remove this comment, but I hope that you remember what I have said.
Blodia: I don't read Something Awful, so I don't really know to what you're referring. I mean, I appreciate the somewhat patronizing criticism, but a lot of your criticisms are based off nothing but things you have assumed about me, so until that's sorted out, I'm afraid I can't comply with the majority of your demands.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Probably the best one since Bioshocks: you seem a lot more lively in this one, and love the Lionel Richie reference!
I think using Gears of War would've been funnier though.

keep on making more Jim!
Then I watched this, and I don't know why I did it. But I laughed.
God help me! I LAUGHED! Very good job.
First I laughed, and then cried while laughing, and laughed some more!
Bravo Jim.
Thanks for making my day! Keep it up!
But only kidding, very funny video. Seriously fix the video player.
P.S. Haloez should be rated "T" for .. Tweenager-iz-is.
I agree with you 100% there Soulwax, the "Dom looking for his missing wife" storyline was unwanted and unnecessary.

Thank you.
The very fact that you think someone might remove your comment goes to show that you have absolutely no clue whatsoever what this site is about.
