[RJ 17]

Jim perfectly encapsulated my feelings towards Dark Souls. Bravo, good sir, thank god for you indeed.

This has to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Both of them were above excellent. I didnt know if Jim had it in him before to do as well as Yahtzee, but he knocked it out of the ballpark as well this time.

Bravo, sirs. Bravo.

This is my favourite series on the Escapist now. Great stuff from both of you. Can't wait until next week

You both were fantastic this week. It's hard to pick a favorite. Love the music that Jim had set up for his poem, made it feel more awesome. Also, it sounds like Yahtzee has fixed his mike problem, his audio quality is much better this week compared to the past two weeks.

Great job by both of them but I was seriously impressed by Jim's Dark Souls poem. Considering all the references he used you can tell that he knows more than a thing or two about it!

 

[Darth_Payn]

Well done, gents! Jolly good show! if I had to pick a winner, this week it would be Jim. Sorry Yahtzee, your rhythm on your otherwise solid poem sounded a bit off this week, while Jim knocked it out of the park!

 

[SoopaSte123]

Loved the Dark Souls poem. Very nice.

 

[90sgamer]

Very good, both of you; but, please, no more video and music.

 

[Arvind]

Yahtzee's poem was immensely entertaining. Really liking this series!

 

[sageoftruth]

What timing. I just took a break from Dark Souls to see this. You've made my day, Jim.

 

[rayen020]

hmmm... This one's a bit tough but I'm gonna say yahtzee's ode to chesthigh walls wins the day. Although Jim does get a half point for creative use of video footage.

Yahtzee - 2
Jim - 1.5

Insightful and entertaining, the prose commentary from two of the escapsists most thought provoking content providers is a welcome addition to the weekly line up.

Poetry is the opposite of prose. Prose is "written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without metrical structure."

Ah... Sterling's studio has always had bad sound quality, but it's always been easy to overlook until now. Maybe it was because of the addition of the dramatic background music but the poor sound quality was pretty distracting. Granted, it didn't change how amazing and moving the poem was (and if a poem is moving it's certainly successful), but I just wish the quality was better. He really should take a look at this informative video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90Xy9eIU8E] and learn how to improve the sound quality of his studio. It's certainly not an issue for Jimquisition, but the bad sound quality was just distracting in this video. I do hope that he tries to fix the sound quality of his studio.

 

[Dark Purple Mage]

Bravo to both bards. Keep the fun and insightful poetry coming.

 

[Yopaz]

This might just be my new favourite series. I love how Yahtzee manages to look like a complete lunatic when he talks. I am impressed with their work, I couldn't write poetry if you held me at gunpoint.

 

[Yuuki]

It's true, how can one not love chest high walls? Except the ones in Kane & Lynch of course, which don't' stop bullets for shit.

 

[Tim Chuma]

Had to watch this one before Zero Punctuation this week, good work!

If this was Youtube there would already be "10 hours of Yahtzee staring" videos.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

This is my new favorite show on The Escapist.

So Yahtzee's equating the rocky chest-high walls to women, right? So what the hell were those metal slabs that sprung out of the ground with a switch in Gears of War 2 supposed to be then?

Those were of course Call Girls.
