Edit:

Just to be clear it seems like the devs approached Jim. There are multiple tweets from their account pestering him to "just do the interview", so it doesn't seem like something Jim set up to stir the shit. Seems more like something he did to get them to shut up.

Original post:

After a long and tenuous "relationship", Jim and the Digital Homicide - developer of The Slaughtering Grounds - guy (guys?) have finally sat down for an interview... or something. It's interesting.

My favorite part is the leeches.

(I'm still not 100% sure how the whole "Youtube personality" threads rule works, so if this isn't allowed, lock it up).

(I'm still not 100% sure how the whole "Youtube personality" threads rule works, so if this isn't allowed, lock it up).

I think they all get put into one long ongoing thread unless it's Jim Sterling or Angry Joe, for some reason they seem to get thier own thread for anything they put out.

Anyway I can't listen to this yet. I'm hoping they end up burying the hatchet and moving on, or as close to that as a hack developer can so with a game critic.

 

[Maximo]

Don't know if I want to listen to this might be too cringe worthy.

 

[PAULINK]

I'm not familiar with the game but I know jim and them have been going at it, this will be good.

 

[redhood56]

With Jims intro I am looking foward to listening more of this.

it is absurdly cringe worthy. The dev cannot understand what criticism is, basically, and equals ads to robbery, as if because jim gets money from ads on his squirty plays videos, means he's taking advantage of "bad games".

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Wat.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

This is sounding insane so far. Some people just don't know when to stay down.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Eh, I don't think Jim should have done this. He's absolutely right, but DH got his head so far up his ass nothing he's going to say is going to pull him out again.

 

[struggler_guts]

Someone fill me in on what the slaughtering grounds is?

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

It gets good within the first 5 minutes of the actual recording starting. This Digital Homicide guy just can't grasp basic logic.

It's probably best if you watch this video explaining the situation.

Basically crappy game on Steam which uses borrowed assets for everything and is a broken mess. Jim calls it crap in a video of him playing it, then the makers get the video taken down take the video and put their own insulting comments over it and upload it to their channel. Gets worse and worse from there.

 

[jim2point0]

I.... I can't believe that guy is 35.

Before too long I wanted to stop listening though. I'm sure Jim gets some good jabs in but it's not worth listening to that DH guy drivel on.

 

[Jigorath]

I don't how smart it is giving that nut a platform to further spew his bullshit but whatever, it's Jim's site not mine. Should make for an entertaining listen at the very least.

i'm almost doing the same. The guy is so dense.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm only 5 minutes in and this is beyond hard to listen to, I never would've thought the mind behind Digital Homicide is a 35 year old adult. I can definitely say that it's one of those things where it's "hard to look away" so to speak, I feel like I should stop it, but I can't? The points being made in this "interview" serve absolutely no purpose, it's actually really strange. If anything this all just makes Digital Homicide even more bizarre.

 

[KaoteK]

Lmfao Jim's at his sarcastic best, no punches pulled.
Fair play to him for even bothering with this.

 

[MattyG]

To be fair, I think they approached Jim about this, and kept pushing. I don't think Jim set it up.

 

[Brashnir]

Man, this guy is trying so hard to pull a "gotcha" on Jim that it's sad.

And here I didn't think I'd hear anyone this week defend themselves more pathetically than Donald Trump.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lmao I like how at some point Sterling has to help him get to his stupid point when he loses his train of thought. This guy is fucking clueless.

Bruh this leech conversation

This dude is trying so hard to make some mind blowing point. If only he put that much effort into his shitty games.

 

[bbd23]

Ugh, I had to stop at the the whole copyright thing

I couldn't handle it

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"But Medieval Mercs is shit"

 

[Zaheer]

Holy shit, and this dude has kids.

 

[DJ_Lae]

"Does your audience, outside of my audience...exist?"

Some good stuff in here but it's pretty painful to listen to already.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

This is something else. Leeches, terrible person, jim fucking sterling son, stifling innovation, ruining lives. The hits just keep coming. lmao now dildos too.

 

[Nick_C]

I'll admit, it starts off kinda funny but then it rapidly descends into a verbal slap fight. It's quite sad to be honest. I'm about halfway through and I have a feeling neither party will leave satisfied with the outcome.

 

[Dryk]

We should start a Patreon to get this guy the help he needs

 

[Drayco21]

Jim's quiet "Oh, dear" when the DH guy says he has three kids and is 35 already has me in tears.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

"But Medieval Mercs is shit"

Lol, amazing.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

I could only make it 20 minutes. Brutal.

 

[Horse Detective]

Jim's quiet "Oh, dear" when the DH guy says he has three kids and is 35 already has me in tears.

Holy shit, I want to listen to this right now. The thing is I listen to Podquisition all day at work and I have run out of casts to listen too... I need to conserve this for tomorrow.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Nothing good can come out of this, only more internet drama =_=

 

[Pinko Marx]

I don't know if I can do this.

 

[pants]

Dunno what history they have, dont really care. I'm 10 mins in and they both sound like unpleasant people to me

 

[Karak]

hmmm. I am not sure the exact reason for this as everyone involved should have known where it was going to go. It seems almost like Jerry Springer or something odd.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Jesus bout 40mins in and this is crazy, I never thought one of these devs from this company would have the balls to even be recorded. Some of this stuff feels like a verbal slapfight though.

 

[Methamatics101]

What the actual fuck? Will have to listen to this once I get home from work.

 

[Nick_C]

Welp, got to the part where he cites a Jimquisition episode as proof that Jim is rallying the troops by saying he wants to create a race subhumans. Let's see if he can top that nugget of comedy gold.

 

[skelekey]

I was dying when he pointed out that he made 5 games in 1 1/2 years instead of 4.

Oh my. He really thought he'd got him there. Paused it all like "there, SEEEEEEE?!"

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Oh my god the leech part (around 22 minutes in) is amazing.

 

[Veldin]

Listening to it right now and it's incredibly entertaining. This Digital Homicide guy is even crazier than I thought.

 

[Arkeband]

This feels mean-spirited to listen to because the guy is clearly not right in the head...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

this dude is all over the place. He changes subjects and contradicts himself nearly every time he starts a new sentence. I have no idea how Jim had the patience to deal with him for so long. It'd be like having a 40 minute conversation with the crazy hobo on the bus.

 

[Dio Brando]

Omg, he's even using the "if you don't like it, do it better" argument, ffs.

yeah, basically.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Based on Digital Homicide's view on leeches, Siskel & Ebert must have also been worthless leeches. Lol

 

[Intheflorsh]

This would have been a lot more interesting if Jim or the other guy at least attempted to start the conversation in good faith.

This is just shit stirring for the sake of it.

 

[antitrop]

"You talk crap about Six Nights at Susies for blah blah blah abusing women... knew you were gonna jump all over that crap. The very next video you do, you got a six-foot fuckin' dildo on your shoulder! Quit bein' such a hypocrite!"

 

[Shy]

I'm 45 minuets in, and this is the most infuriating part, i really want Jim to bring that up to him.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Omg, he's even using the "if you don't like it, do it better" argument, ffs.

yeah, basically.

You have a Devin Townsend avatar.

I love you.
