I found that really funny even clicked on another video just to watch some more and immediatey clicked yes.
HOWEVER I've suddenly realized something this guy is basically trying to be Charlie Brooker (seriously watch some of his stuff he even did a couple of shows on video games) and with the Escapists most popular show already taking a large amount of influence from his work I don't think there's room for both. Still genuinely funny and entertaining though.

If he manages to focus more on the content of the game, I'd think he'd be a great addition to the Escapist family [Assuming he wants to]. I think that a video series with his kind of tight editing would feel alot fresher than Jims low profile way of review, and Yahtzees bare bones style.
I'd be happy even if he was just doing written segments.

Well he makes a good and funny rant but it goes completely out of the ball park, not sure how that would work as a weekly show.
Some things are just better left as a one hit wonder.

Sure why not. I'd probably watch it if most of the videos were almost as funny as this. Although i rather dislike his style, the timing in his humor just doesn't work for me.
This guy makes a lot of good points, but from the videos I've seen, he barely talks about the game in question for the three minutes, and for such a short video, it really is just a lot of rambling. Funny, yes, but ultimately not very informative. I personally wouldn't hire him =\
Um, have you ever heard of British humour? Yes, it is different to American humour. I find the Jimquisition good because he pushes the whole aspect of personal exaggeration to a ridiculousTheEndlessSleep said:
level, using the holier-than-god act to put things into perspective of either God or an idiot.
The first episode is down right terrible, he has gotten A LOT better since then, I'd recommend watching his recent stuff, like start here:FalloutJack said:

I haven't watched anything before that after the first one, but, this one brought me back.
He reminds me a lot of Charlie Brooker...which is a compliment.
Honestly, if Moviebob's got a spot on the Escapist, then this guy would have no problem at all.
(Yes, I'm still annoyed by Moviebob. Mostly because of the constant insults he throws at people who disagree with him, which would probably get you probation or a ban on this forum)
