      I used to collect vinyl of The Electric Light Orchestra, before I entirely switched to digital media.

      I used to be able to do all sorts of accents, but I can't do any of them very well anymore. I like doing sleazy Northern English accents, though. Also, my deliberately shitty Canadian voice is fun.

      Everyone on Dtoid has a principal job. Jordan heads up a PC team, Conrad handles interns. Mine is reviewing. That's the main reason I am paid, so I have to do a certain number of reviews. Also, since I have a developer console and my name is the most known to publishers, I tend to get everything the earliest so it is easiest for me to do it.

      Time's a big issue, too. I can review games under some pretty strict time limits, and can also dedicated days to them, as and when needed.

      It was actually a response to the hate I was getting at the time. With the community determined to hate me on the first few episodes, I decided to do something to truly earn it. A lot of them already called me deluded and egotistical, so I just heightened that. I figured the show would tank and disappear, so I tried to be as annoying as possible to at least go out with a bang.

      The plan kinda backfired, though, because then they started liking me. Hence, the inspiration -- my attempts to be everything they despised -- turned out to be a huge failure. A very lucky one, though!

      I have only had very brief words with Jeff before, but he seems a nice guy. Never really spoken to anybody from GB outside of that before, so I can't say I know any of 'em.

      Same here. Trying to choose between Thousand Sons, Alpha Legion and Word Bearers for which legion I want to build.

      I definitely think so. There's so much "REPORT" and "BREAKING" and "SHOCK" and "BIAS" that it can be a real drag. I definitely get into super serious mode myself sometimes, but it's important to have a laugh and remember just how freakin' ridiculous this industry is. Yes, it's art. Yes, there are deep discussions to be had. Yet still, this is an industry where chainsaw guns and mushroom princesses rule the school. It's a fun industry, and a lot of us forget that.

      Not really, although the melee provides similarities. I'd kill for an official Space Marine Warriors though.

      I don't watch it for any reason at all. Irony only gets you so far, especially when your continued watching benefits the wastes of flesh involved regardless of your sincerity. Sorry, but watching obnoxious people living vapid lives without a shred of self-awareness isn't my idea of fun in any context.

      Most things I guy are a waste of money. My Soul To Take was a recent waste, although I didn't make the purchasing decision.

      Probably one of my Penny Arcade shirts from a few years back, the controller diagram one. More or less totally faded now.

    17. Jim Sterling

      It all depends. I'm going to pre-order Dark Souls tomorrow, for instance. All depends on what's coming out and when. I've bought a fair few games this year, for sure, and often buy older ones I've not reviewed.

    18. Jim Sterling

      I am contracted to do four more. I have a feeling that at least another twenty-four will be commissioned.

      Both of them are outmatched by the bacon one where the nose drags the guy through the catflap.
