Ah, Digital Homocide. This sounded like them from the start. It's been pretty entertaining watching them trying and failing to beat up on people thus far. When they're successful, it's not funny, but when they're beating up on Jim Sterling without a case, or pulling crap that gets them dropped off Steam, it's pretty hilarious. But their continued attempt at beating on Jim is downright comical at this point. Because he's Jim Motherf#%king Sterling, Son. And the irony embedded in that catchphrase just makes it that much more delicious.

>Because he's Jim Motherf#%king Sterling, Son. And the irony embedded in that catchphrase just makes it that much more delicious. Most people here probably do not know what either of those things are supposed to mean.

  Should I explain? Okay. Jim Sterling, a critic previously of the Escapist, had a series where he played steam games, and talked about how good or bad they were (I think he selected for bad, but if he didn't, Sturgeon's law was in full effect). One of the games he played was Digital Homocide's The Slaughering Grounds. Needless to say, it was rubbish. However, Digital Homocide decided that Jim's review was terrible and unfair, and released a video called "Reviewing the Reviewer", which was Jim's video, overlaid with sarcastic, bitter text scrolls. Jim then posted a video of himself laughing at that video, and the situation continued to increase in size until we reach today. However, in that video by Digital Homocide, amid the bitter sarcasm portraying Jim as an idiot, there was a repeated catchphrase, "Because I'm Jim motherf#%king Sterling, son," Jim thought this was hilarious, and his onscreen persona is that of an egomanic already, so it quickly became Jim's actual catchphrase. So now you know, which is half the battle.

    Thanks for the explanation. Doesn't really sound like irony, though. Just a backfired joke from Digital Homicide.

      You know, I think you're right. Dang it. I usually don't make that mistake.
