The Best of Jim Sterling playing the worst games of 2014

[@sabatheus]

"...am I dying...and this is a Jacob's Ladder thing? I'm not actually playing Fish Simulator. I'm on a stretcher in Viet Nam, or something." Dude, you have to warn a guy before you come out with something so funny. I was curled-up into a ball under my desk, crying, I was laughing so hard.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

Fish Simulator is piss... It's Jacob's Bladder...

[@lostintechnicolor]

the bonesauce RedLetterMedia fan too? I was gonna make a Jacob’s Bladder joke.

[@Mr_Saxon]

10/10 for that opening title. Fucking hilarious.

[@QJ89]

Strangely fitting too. I'm wondering if you deliberately re-cut that track to avoid a strike.

[@JediFan421]

Intro song is Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away (lyrics) by Neil Cicierega.

[@sirderpington7704]

Thank god for jim fucking sterling son.

[@glitchsmasher]

Whenever I see Jim fall off the world or something like that I don't laugh at it because I'm so used to dicking around in Unity, until he says "$9.99 on Steam"

[@FreedomHero4]

glitchsmasher You talking about the game called Time Rammeiside (don't give a fuck about the name), cuz if you are, that's being run on UE4

[@glitchsmasher]

FreedomHero4 I dick around in UE4 too, just used unity as an example.

[@FreedomHero4]

glitchsmasher Oh ok

[@ZanderEzekial77]

Great opening duder! Thanks for the video

[@HQ_Default]

"Why is there a big, spinning waffle on top of the helicopter?!" I died :'D

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Apparently, flagellation was very popular in the Middle Ages. I think this has to qualify as digital flagellation, so thanks for keeping old traditions alive Jim!.

[@robotraptor3369]

first bit had me in stitches "unearth-ed trail of ibn battuta........oh shit not jeff rosick"

[@xdurch0]

I was going to watch a few minutes of this video and then do something else. Suddenly im 30 minutes in and thinking "might as well watch the rest". Thanks for making this compilation; plenty of clips I haven't seen yet (which is why it would be awesome to have a list of the games in this video :p although I understand that would be a lot of work).

[@JediFan421]

xdurch0 Your comment made me finally make a whole list of videos used. All are in the description.

[@xdurch0]

JediFan421 Thank you so much!

[@jordank4889]

I've been rewatching these, podtoid, dismal jesters etc. for a decade now, usually listening while doing something else, and the first 20 seconds of this video always makes me grin, and if I'm feeling silly, sob with laughter. Every clip in these compilations is gold.

[@vermanshane]

Fantastic job, just got tweeted by the man himself :) Thank god for Jedifan too.

[@starmanda88]

This is such a fantastic compilation. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these. I've watched them all multiple times!

[@calaaero]

Thanks for putting this together, watching this made my day!

[@OrgaNik_Music]

After watching the 2016 compilation, these seem almost like masterpieces.

[@jasperwest3799]

I rewatched this and was reminded how much Earth Year 2066 was a a herald of things to come.

[@Dizcinger]

Great video, excellent work compiling this together!

[@cartmanofsp]

I like the way he says and breaks words up sometimes, for example, UNEARTH-ED!

[@Connorses]

I was laughing at how the trailer for Ibn Battuta looks like a tacky powerpoint presentation with slides summing up everything the narrator says in bullet points. My god. So awful.

[@TheGlitched64Reads2]

Thanks for having the list of videos and links in the description! :D

[@Ironman1o1]

That Trail of Ibn Battua trailer didn't look that far off a teaser I'd see on one of the big Networks. I dunno if thats a complement or a shot at, and to who.

[@afrog2666]

Didn`t look far off a teaser you would have seen? Your comment looks far off a finished english class lol. Perhaps you wanted to say "I`ve", I HAVE, as opposed to WOULD have? Just a thought..

[@Ironman1o1]

I'm sure many people are impressed with you right now.

[@Valkyrie1094]

17:56 That reaction is priceless, just the right mixture of exasperation and resigned apathy

[@t4nkychannel921]

A suggestion for next time? Maybe use annotations to add in what games he's playing. Other than that, good job.

[@maagiapall]

What, are you interested in trying them out? :P

[@t4nkychannel921]

No, I just want to know which games to point and laugh at. Also, I might want to see the full episode Jim did.

[@InfernalLawyer]

Magix On the contrary, I want to know what to avoid.

[@JediFan421]

Adam Sherman Updated the video with the whole list of videos used now in the description for what it's worth. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@t4nkychannel921]

Nice!

[@kalebtaylor567]

Are you considering making one for 2015? This stuff is gold.

[@JediFan421]

***** Absolutely.

[@nonfickshun]

I needed a break after the Grass Simulator rant. I died on that. Simply amazing. Please do another for 2015

[@TheHeartThatRunsCold]

Cringetastic: the Feature Film based on Vidya Gameos: Featuring Jim Fucking Sterling Son.

[@PanelHopper]

This is amazing. Thank you.

[@ImZyker]

11/10 for quality and effort mate!

[@mudlark4099]

Best part, 11:25 flies off map, twiddles feet as he flings though the sky, "NO REGRETS".

[@Groudonrct3]

This was hilarious, hope you do a new one for this year.

[@killerdls]

thank god for Jim!

[@swudurshchurf2386]

6:38 Jim having an existential crisis based on the validity of his channel is one of the best things I've ever seen

[@coreyweber2340]

I still laugh every time when Grass Simulator pops up and Jim says "I mean have they really just made an area?"

[@Saidan79]

Viewing this video almost a decade later really makes it seem like the era of the Steam Greenlight system was just a horrible fever dream. Honestly, what the fuck were the creators of such games thinking when "making" them? If these were made as some crazy prototypes of the early 1st person 3D games it would be possible understandable, but by the point of their release games like GTA 5 were already out, for freak's sake.

[@Marblez3]

Best intro ever!

[@Gaclus]

I'm here watching every video so far in preparation for watching the 2018 compilation

[@InfernalLawyer]

Great work compiling this bro. Would be great if you would put down which games they're from though. It really is amazing what Steam accepts on their store these days. Half of this garbage would barely pass as a university project.

[@JediFan421]

InfernalLawyer I updated the video with the whole list of videos I used in the description for what it's worth.

[@InfernalLawyer]

JediFan421 Much appreciated. Giving the video a "like" that I forgot to do before.

[@mermaidman961]

"I'm very very drunk" whatever you say Elmer Fudd xD

[@papaidreass4556]

26:25 Was the Ichigo's theme from Bleach playing in the background?

[@liampendergast8670]

I'm hoping you make a similar montage for the worst of 2015.

[@JediFan421]

+L Pendergast I will be!

[@JediFan421]

+L Pendergast Here you go:kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSrlHavj7GHocU

[@liampendergast8670]

JediFan421 Thank you so much!

[@LaineMann]

+JediFan421 It seriously looks like you're humping the dresser for like five minutes. I died laughing.

[@ignacionadeo1306]

Okay, so the start was fucking amazing. That was The Crew, right? It was fucking hilarious. His reaction was just priceless.

[@jakublulek3261]

Poor Jim, beeing reviewer and game journalist is sometimes really painful.

[@CAPPYbkkr]

Jakub Lulek ö

[@MomJeans1738]

I started watching Jim Sterling after I got put into the hospital for a couple weeks due to a car accident in 2014. I'm not a fan of Jim's content anymore, but it's nice to revisit some old memories

[@prossnip42]

And here i thought that the new Fallout games were about as buggy as a game can get. Apparently this was a 45 minute long video proving me otherwise

[@lonestar6709]

_"Oh shit! Not Jeff Rosick!"_

[@Braamberg]

When do you think the 2015 list is gonna be out? Super excited for it!

[@JediFan421]

+Braamberg Same time as the 2014 one.

[@Braamberg]

JediFan421 okey cool, thx for shariing

[@JediFan421]

+Braamberg Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSrlHavj7GHocU

[@Braamberg]

JediFan421 thank you so much

[@moonpig660]

@26:56 that is a music score from the anime bleach called treacherously

[@ShartSydePhil]

33:00 That's the music from Comix Zone

[@CripplingMemeAddict]

Jim killed me with the pewdiepie part xD

[@shady4091]

35:43 X'D The biggest problem; I believe, is that making videos of absolutely terrible indy games is pretty much the thing to do right now. A lot of KZbinrs are hopping on that bandwagon because those videos are getting a fuck ton of views. The worse the game, the more views the video gets. I don't think the developers really know this, I refuse to believe they're that smart but they're still seeing people buy these shit games, so why not churn out another 30 every week? Then; on top of that, you have those viewers going out and buying the games just to see for themselves how shitty it is and have a good chuckle. I think this is mostly fine if it's a game that some work obviously went into, no mater how bad it failed at absolutely everything like the Ride to Hell's and Air Control's. But now the line between a hilariously awful game and not even a fucking game at all is getting blurred and those are the "games" that really piss me off. The bottom line; though, is that Steam really needs to get their shit together.

[@RayleonardOfTheTube]

31:00 So, this is where it all started...

[@SoulRippster]

33:20 they actually stole music from Comix Zone?!

[@pretentious6846]

Jim edited it in post-recording to make up for the lack of in-game music or sounds.

[@michelswolf6804]

i would not be suprised if the get copy right strike for the weird clown fish game because when you play as the fish the music in the background was form bleach an anime series. just wow.

[@chefexable]

Good uppload, while i am late for the party author may add name (and or anvitation? link) of the game he is playing.

[@InceRumul]

7:33 MAI WAFFLECOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI

[@ПётрПавловский-щ1х]

Jim Sterling's legacy

[@rasheedqe]

i think jim is being unfair to these game clearly they were not meant to be played by people

[@Mangareader27]

rasheedqe so they re made for animals?

[@xxJOHNLIKESPIExx]

Why does that fish game have one of the bleach sound tracks, im pretty sure that's illegal.

[@dominatorN4]

Please do another one for 2015!

[@JediFan421]

+dominatorN4 I am!

[@JediFan421]

+dominatorN4 Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSrlHavj7GHocU

[@BlackDynamite641]

I find it funny in the fish zen game that they use Bleach music.

[@sigurdtheblue]

Tavo Taper It's incredibly wrong. They break a copyright on a cheap game that they want $10 for. They would have a real hard time if they manage to get greenlit. (I think the Bleach music is called Soundscape to Ardor [did not bother to check].)

[@BlackDynamite641]

sigurdtheblue either way that music is too intense for that level.

[@jessaminehaak8253]

sigurdtheblue As a sad, sad person who owns the Bleach soundtrack and has seen the show WAY too many times, I can tell you that the song being used is called Invasion, from the soundtrack to the second Bleach movie. I think it's first appearance was during Ikkaku using his Bankai in that final scene and okay I'll just stop talking now. (If you're interested, Soundscape to Ardor is that sad song with the piano arpeggios that often plays while someone is dying/thinking about people who've died.)

[@sigurdtheblue]

Wow, it is a completely different song. Thanks for telling me. The bleach soundtracks are hard to navigate through online.

[@krianthegreat1971]

Tavo Taper Nobody notices, but they also use music from Elfen Lied in the menu I take pride in recognizing this xD

[@Sparky_Sct]

Will there be one for 2016? :D

[@djinnaz0074]

Loved watching all of these, lol

[@svetlanarodriguez7429]

Awesome videos, horrible games.

[@whenthemusicsover6028]

38:09 "The fuck? Let me drown!" XD

[@TeamFancyPantsGaming]

The intro is so cool

[@grindorblackout1986]

13:39 the plane was going to crash, but it went BOEING and bounced off the ground.

[@za-wz6fh]

Some of these games make Ride to Hell look like a 10/10

[@BlackDynamite641]

It at least worked, had a story, and was funny bad.

[@aidan3844]

We need more, Jims

[@chessmeister596]

41:40 Cue the Benny Hill music.

[@WeebishSwed]

Wow, i'm probably not the first saying this but a lot of these games seem a lot better compared to a lot of the games on Steam now.

[@thomasneal9291]

"I got it up!" Jim Sterling, Waffle Pilot, 2014

[@faaf_quaaf]

I did not expect a Lenny Kravitz song to appear in the intro.

[@BreadApologist]

26:30 Is Nemo about to use Bankai?

[@emceeunderdogrising]

26:58 They stole that from a anime series called Bleach. I'm 100% certain it is note for note.

[@chicken_biryani9072]

You are right. I was thinking where I'd heard before.

[@Jm-ki4su]

i miss this sterling

[@nintendovirtualboywastakenfsr]

Literally nothing changed

[@nickm2046]

Will you do a 2015 edition?

[@JediFan421]

+Mario M Yes!

[@JediFan421]

+Mario M Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSrlHavj7GHocU

[@nickm2046]

JediFan421 Thanks, man!:)

[@Staygold1999]

Jim.Fucking.Sterling.Son.

[@Jockberg]

10:55 ITS GROWLING!!!!!

[@cave_dweller6]

What did you censor near the fifteen minute mark?

[@Roadent1241]

Andrew Ryan alcohol maybe?

[@FappleJackity]

It'd be nice if the name of the game was somewhere on the video. :)

[@JediFan421]

+FappleJackity Check the description.

[@bens6872]

Still watching this. His problem is obvious - helps to have a map.

[@PanelHopper]

Remember when "muxwell" was the arch nemesis? Happy days...

[@flossimoth]

coke and meal please no bread XDDDD

[@orangesya7649]

6:14 it sounds like the tim allen grunt

[@josef733]

Air Control was the start of this bullshit we had on Steam.

[@theSomeguyatwork]

"You collapsed from exhaustion"

[@jomuni]

digital pet rocks everybody! :) LOL steam is famous for those, desura is shutting down because of sales on digital pet rocks.

[@barleyinnit7828]

good job

[@LaineMann]

Oh my god someone ACTUALLY ripped of Plants vs. Zombies!

[@MeisterErz]

Fish... Fish... more Fish... Fish with Squid... Fish with his Son... Fish with Family... Fish with purple Fish... Fish on Flames... how is this even to top? Oh... Fish Family on Flames...

[@zeecaptain42]

I´m generally so proud of the many Swedish artists in the industry.... then it´s games like this with the swedish names on earth

[@slugofborg6532]

Waffle copter... Woflcopter

[@jimbo80982]

I totally forgot about slender man in I Will Escape lol

[@jharts5213]

Ah the memories

[@jmtsull8048]

Jim 11:45 you made it to heaven 😀👍

[@orvilleredenpiller338]

ARE YOU READY JIM? No. I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OHHHHHHHH- Who’s burning on fire deep under the sea?? THREE DUMB CLOWN FISH!

[@theprogenitor4585]

All of these games are giving me a headache with how terrible they are.

[@EmpressTiffanyOfBrittany]

Ched's mind sounds like Elmer fucking Fudd.

[@dg11993]

omg 25:05 It's Nemo!

[@W00DSMAN]

Jim Sterling plays gawd awful steam garbage so you don't have to.

[@BlackDynamite641]

No one would ever play it in the first place.

[@W00DSMAN]

I dunno some of these games were by publishers as big as Ubisoft. And as much as I'd love to think no ones buying their games the evidence suggests otherwise.

[@BlackDynamite641]

Peter Elliott only casuals, idiots, and people looking for a laugh would buy these games.
