I found the show pretty funny, maybe my British sense of humour means I'm more use to this type of humour then other nationalities?

mm I think people is making a big deal, DUKE NUKEM is purely jokes, that's what it sales.
Why woman are always with big boobs showing everything, well first of all, go to the street, woman show more skin than man always and man always want to show muscle, so videogames is more like a parody or an extremist critic or just like exaggeration of things.
I think people like to whining all the time. CONTROVERSY IS A GOOD SELLER, if you don't believe me ASK ACTIVITION AND MW2.
Also the majority of videogame player are male LIKE IT OR NOT, so if a sexist game appeal a lot of males then developers are going to make it, but I think Duke Nukem Games are parodies.
I love family guy and is a controversial show, but it is pure because it makes fun of everyone

I'm still puzzled over why The Escapist (which I respect and have written for) would hire this guy, especially after his recent interactions that involved hurling sexist epithets at women and making misogynist comments in other contexts. If anyone is unfamiliar with the situation, there's a recap with Jim's own comments here: http://gomakemeasandwich.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-his-words-why-jim-sterling-is-in.html
And in light of that incident, the subject of this video is a huge puzzle to me, given just how sexist Jim Sterling himself has proven to be. That makes it ring completely hollow in the end, aside from the emptiness of the actual content.

Presentation very much better this time.
He still needs to lose the mirror shades. They don't work at all with his look, and not being able to see the eyes doesn't help either.
Good work toning down the swearing though.

At least he's taken some advice on board. And by that I mean replacing the white background with a red and black one.
But there's still the excessive and ill-timed swearing, talking for that five minutes and saying precious little, the crude drawings of genitalia that are neither funny nor clever, those crappy aviators... honestly, the funniest part of the video (the bit with Marcus Fenix) wasn't even written by him.
Next to Yahtzee, Movie Bob, Extra Credits, Lisa Foiles, Anthony Saves the World, Name Game and Critical Miss, this guy really lets the site down.

I'll second this. There are alot of quality videos out there from OTHER people.Jared Berg said:
Okey, is it JUST ME or does he look like the dictator from V for Vendetta-comic, with the Norsefire-flag behind him and all? (Or something that looks creepishly familiar)
Edit:
Really, am I the only one seeing it?

I... disagree. Just make less scantily-clad women. If they're wearing armor, let them wear armor. Or if you're going to show midriff and leg for no reason, just accept you might get some backlash. I kinda like when armor looks sexier on women than guys, but I'm not going to cry if that changes.

edit: my opinion of the show is the same as before, but everyone's already said it by now.

thanks for that link (even if it did turn my stomach)Anarien said:
funny how I only watched like 30secs of this vid before finding him irreparably sexist and checking the comments to see if I wasn't having a nightmare. I wasn't.
so yeah, please get rid of Jim. let us not spread the words of imbeciles.
I'm not really liking this guy, I think the extra credits guys talk about these issues far better
Considering the Picture on the escapist home page is just a huge Cleavage shot, I stay the hell away. They might have chosen a different picture though... The escapist home page is no long safe for work...Xirema said:
You know, I don't think that A Modest Proposal works as well when act like such a prick all the time that no one can tell that you don't actually want to eat babies. I thought I ought to give this guy a second try even after last week's video, but I still think he's a move in the wrong direction. This isn't funny, and it's not near as smart as it'd like to think it is either.
I can see how he's supposed to be a contrasting piece of self-comedy, but I don't think it's ridiculous enough. In fact, he's making a spitting good image of a certain internet user stereotype. With figures like Yahtzee or the Nostalgia Critic you can see when a joke is a joke and a hyperbole is a hyperbole while also understanding the truth beneath, the point they're trying to make. He's walking on rather a faint line of comedy where you can't be sure whether it's parody or truth. But maybe that's just me.
