That was... something.

Also, I imagine this would get more views if it actually made it into the scroll at the top...

Jim, your relationships with game characters are a tad disturbing.

 

[Reeve]

Jim's poem was genius.

and confusing. Is Sonic the one Mario was doing that led to Jim killing the plumber?

Does David Boreanas know?

Have they ever doubled with Ben and Slender Man?

Jim's poem was genius.

there's a fine line between madness and genius....

...Jim teabagged it.

Couldn't be 'cause if Jim is cheating on Sonic with Knuckles he doesn't really have the right to go after Mario.

I laughed out loud more than once during Yahtzee's thing. Jim just had me sitting there bored and repeating "I GET IT, IT'S ABOUT SONIC" over and over.

Sorry, Jim. I just don't like your poems.

Sorry I bored you.

Love (and lust) is often irrational. It's not uncommon for one unfaithful person to be mad at their unfaithful partner for their unfaithful acts.

I'm not sure if Yahtzee was making fun of our fascination with open world, or of libertarianism.

Oh, and Jim, I, for one, really love your poetry!

Really? Well in that case maybe Sonic was the one Mario was doing that caused Jim to kill him. Man that's a disturbing thought.

 

[Carnagath]

Fuck me, why so depressing Jim?

I think you two are forgetting something very important.

What about Miltank?

WHich game was Yahtzee making fun of here? I was a little confused about it.

 

[Smurf McSmurfington]

...huh, so Jim's was about Sonic, then.
I thought it had something to do with... iono, large game companies, publishers, or something along those lines, and how things have changed over the past decade(s) or so. I think the poem would fit that theme quite easily as well.

To be fair, I'm not particularly familiar with Sonic (I know a bit, on a very superficial level, but never really got into 'em) to begin with(at this point I'm not entirely sure if Knuckles is a part of the Sonic franchise or of a competiting one - will look it up after this post, of course), so that would've flown over my head one way or another.

Many of Jim's poems fly over my head simply due to me not being particularly familiar with the IPs he's referring to, so that's to be expected.

 

[Jenny Jones]

Wow the pace of the your poem was perfect Jim. Great work as usual from both of you, keep it up as it is very refreshing =)

Sorry, Jim. I just don't like your poems.

Sorry I bored you.

While I will say that this was one of your weaker entries (the flow and pace broke a couple times), I'd still say that over-all your works have been very enjoyable. Even the few that I might have found to be "less entertaining" have still been pretty enjoyable from a purely poetic standpoint.

I'll admit I was pretty excited when I figured out Jim's was about Sonic (probably way later than I'd like to admit, but before it got super obvious.)

Also, Sonic didn't really make the transition to 3D well, did he?


As for Croshaw, well said in brief. I prefer my stories with a bit of script to them. (Though the FFXIII was a bit much, I also enjoy turns and exploration. I don't know if you tried FFXIII-2, and I don't know why you would if you weren't a die hard fan like me. It swings the pendulum to super duper wibbly wobbly timey wimey unscripted order which just seems hugely out of place.)
