Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



It seems these days that far too many game bloggers want to do videos, regardless of the fact that they have no professional recording equipment, editing skills, charisma, charm, confidence or knowledge. They just spew up a load of badly compressed, poorly captured footage and cover it in verbal sick, then decide they are now celebrity video superstars.

So I thought to myself, "I could do that too!"

I once auditioned for Screwing Attacks with my very first video but The Stutters Craig did not hire me, probably because he's a cock. Luckily I was unpeturbed and after more than a year, finally decided to do a series without Craig's help. He'll be sorry he ever ignored me. They'll all be sorry. 

Introducing the future of Internet video visual entertainments that use words and pictures to convey ideas about videogames that I've played with my hands. Ladies and gentlemen, it is The Videogame Show What I've Done, and this week we're talking about Mega Man! You remember when old videogames used to be new videogames? I sure do, so I'm going to talk about it for a bit.

Hit the jump for the video, which will be a series whether you want it to be or not actually!

For some reason when I was hoping this would be like Rev Rants. Where Jim is standing in front of a screen with bad gaming going on behind him. But I guess that would make the production values of this video too high.

Still a really good job.

Oh for gods sake. How many ways can I say I like something. Usually I just recycle the same handful of compliments among people but this is ridiculous - I'm running out of ass-kissing lines to use on you Jim. Please stop making things that are so good and that.

the scrolling text at the end sadly displays minimal effort. Going for Windows Movie Maker's automatically generated captions with the text in Impact would have been more convincing. Instead, 0/10.

I like the rockman better because he is made of rocks and not mega because mega is a made up thing what doesnt exist. Silly videomakers of videogames!

I saw what you did there..... I just hope you were lying about blue being your favorite colour! But i assume you were considering Pokemon Red is blatantly better then Blue.

Sounding incredibly Bri'ish' just now, in'it? I enjoyed it, I however do not know how much more "Troling" I could take. Even if it is in all good fun.

This is actually Peacock & Gamble in videogame reviewing form. Like on last week's podcast when they were talking about PS Home. Very funny though.

As much as I like Ray Peacock, I prefer it when Jim sticks to his own style. However, I do understand the way what he speaks with words are well contagious.

OK. I may be alone in thinking so, but watching this was more painful than a thousand leaps onto instant-death spikes. I understand what you're going for, I do! Believe me, I salute your superior bastardry and troll acumen. It's just that the genuine article is so widespread that watching a satire of this kind of thing holds no joy for me... indeed, I found myself cringing through the entire episode. I guess it's just a little too meta for me.

Actually I would like more of this videogame thing. I hear it is the new soccer or something all like that. You seem to be very good at your stuff and that is why I like it when you talk about this stuff really.
You're voice is also heavenly and make me a lot faster at the pantswanking and this is also very much of a bonus for my opinion at least. Blue is my favorite colour as well because it is the colour of the sea when the sea is not being green like at the harbour and stuff.

Not really sure if Jim gets satire as well as everyone here thinks he does. Doing what other idiots do does not equal satire. Video was sort of funny, but only for the terrible gameplay.

Just because his voice gave you the horn, doesn't mean it sounds like a girl.

I laughed way harder at this video than I maybe should have. I loved how it sounded like you were giving a show and tell presentation. I hope to see more in the future.

I wish the score had remained perpetually zeroed out. The 1500 obtained near the end soured the lose-lose experience for me.


Also, Blue Rockman is Blue.

"...made by Japan for videogames."

"Like all Konami games, mega man has the Konami code in it.."

"...they were really difficult so I stopped playing and had something to drink instead."

Nice video Jim Sterling.

Blue is also my favourite colour so this video gets a 10 out of 10.

Dude, I dunno. It looks like everyone got it and thought it was at least sort of funny. I'm disappointed with the troll levels in these comments.

Nevertheless, would watch more, because watching someone fail at playing games is actually pretty entertaining.

Yeah, I was actually going for the style of my original audition tape, not Ray Peacock, who I was deliberately trying to avoid because I knew a few people would claim otherwise. It's also based on a style of writing I adopted on Morphine Nation back in 2005 (especially "actually btw," which was an old catchphrase) so yeah, that's just the way I'm doing it. Sorry.

No deliberate attempt to sound like Ray in this one, I got that out of my system on Podcastle.

"Your "atheist day" didn't read too dissimilar."

The actual piece of work I'm trying to mimic with these videos is an old article I did called "I could beat up Jesus" which you can read here: http://oldsite.morphinenation.com/article.php?post_id=139

That's what I was trying to emulate more than Peacock, really. Although I must admit, it's so natural to slip in "thanks" during the recording of these.


btw, I've almost finished the script for the next one, should be here same time next week. Thanks to everyone who so far liked it. I've been planning to do this since like, March of last year, so I'm very pleased it came off well.
