You just had to stir the hornet's nest, didn't you.
It seems like something they would love. Violent videogames + military mistreatment. Would be great.

Why do people feel the need to to speak for everyone else in the world. Just because you have fast internet doesn't mean everyone else in the world does. I live in the U.S. and my internet sucks ass sometimes. You know what I like doing when my internet is down? Play video games.
Also, yes, a lot of people in the armed forces play video games. A lot.

Jim Sterling is so darn cute. I could just squeeze those pudgy little cheeks of his.

Awww no leave him. I think Aaron is a ok dude, I think the folks above him deserve more of the criticism
Topic: violent videogames.

I believe he rated it 157 "teevee"s out of 46 "sports" with a 29x multiplier for "Colladoodie."
...
Sterling was sniper-precise with this video.

Bravo Jim, bravo. Good summary of what Microsoft did wrong with the reveal.
He also brings up a good point at the end about how, while everything COULD change by E3, there's no reason why we can't let our opinions be known now because this "reveal" was supposed to be the first showing of the XBox One and supposed to wow us. And it didn't. It sucked terribly.

An excellent finisher. It was an ADVERSTISEMENT. To CHANGE our opinions. I've seen that tactic of "don't have a bad idea of the Juan" used here and there since the reveal went badly with us innernetters.
I went to a cottage for a week and brought my 360 for rainy days. With XBOne I can't do that. Minor annoyance yes, but one I didn't have to have.

Wut? They definitely feel like two completely distinct personalities on their respective series.
What on earth are you talking about?

Yeah but I'm British, and I've learned that nobody can be British and talk about videogames without being called a rip-off of either Yahtzee or Charlie Brooker, no matter how different you may be. Because gamers.
edit: goddamnit.
Xbox One conference was so bad that Willem Dafoe is facepalming
Jim you are a magnificent bastard
Maybe he thinks you're pretending to be British to be more like yahtzee?
But-- they're both British and talk about games! They're practically the same person!
EDIT: Beaten by the man himself.

I've actually been accused of that before. "Your accent's so fake" is an accusation I've had in the past. Hilarious.
It's true. TotalBiscuit = Yahtzee, NerdCubed = Yahtzee, and of course you = Yahtzee. EVERYONE IS YAHTZEE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
It's not just people sitting in Afghanistan, it's also the 300,000 Naval personnel who can deploy for months at a time on a floating fortress without personal internet connection for their game systems. In 1998, I was playing Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 with people I worked with while in the Persian Gulf. In 2005 I was playing San Andreas and other games on my Xbox1 in the Persian Gulf. In 2008 I was playing Rock Band with people I worked with on my 360 in the Persian Gulf. In 2011 I was playing Borderlands with people I worked with while deployed to the Southwest Pacific region on my 360.
Microsoft just basically said Fuck the Navy.

Why is it that the best British people are rude? Jim Sterling, Jeremy Clarkson, Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsay...
Man these gifs are gonna be amazing for E3. Just perfect reaction gifs.
"He sounds nothing like the people from Game of Thrones!"
Because the very foundation of British humour is sarcastic cynicism... Or should that be cynical sarcasm?
