[@zachariahalex3744]

InstaBlaster.

[@Zejgar]

Came here to say that the last three years of my life would've been much, much less enjoyable if you didn't sacrifice your disk space and rendering time to bring these compilations to us. Thank you so much.

[@MathewHaswell]

Thank God For Jim F-ing Sterling, Son!

[@sarsmask]

seriously, I was just thinking about how much space and time this took

[@sarsmask]

space-time, i like to call it

[@freakishuproar1168]

I'm definitely with Zejgar here. You should be canonized for your services to KZbinkind. (sorry if canonization awkwardly implies death, I didn't mean that! :/)

[@ndrinks5550]

I can't put it better than this, you should be on the Queen's honour list.

[@VioletSatyr]

"KEN! Ken, the computers are fucked, and you employ people who don't even know. Ken! Ken, why are you drinking pencils?"

[@LadyBernkastel92]

I think that whole episode was the best vid Jim put up all year It was amazing.

[@scattysafari7742]

Jim's talent for impromptu comedy gold really is amazing.

[@Roadent1241]

I'm sick and I'm dying with laughter trying not to choke on coughs. Now to go and find the full episode!

[@1337redstone]

VioletSatyr which episode is this?

[@Roadent1241]

Liquidator is the name of the game, so I'm sure we search it on the channel.

[@freakishuproar1168]

Why on God's Green Earth does this post not have more likes? Like this post, you fools!

[@erikaisadiah]

Your contemplations are the highlight are my year every year. I don't have time to watch all of Jim's jimpressions, so this is the perfect way for me to get my dose of Jim in bite sized packages

[@anikmonette2140]

Erika Wellen True, but I usually get too curious and watch the original anyway. 😃

[@Arrakiz666]

It would not be false to say I was waiting an entire year for this.

[@StarContract]

The plot in Art of Stealth is better than Destiny 2's plot

[@FrankLoon]

Top tier exposition and voice acting in AoS. Peter Dinklage is taking notes.

[@CSquared107]

Art of Stealth was this year?! Amazing. Thanks for the great compilation! You do a great job each year with these.

[@SkeletonTheBlackTopHat]

Yeah, about a few weeks into the year and Jim already considered it to be the worst game of the year.

[@anikmonette2140]

Skeleton The BlackTopHat Yeah, I remember it being early in the year, because I stopped watching Jim after that... I'm a binge watcher so I went into other things. I came back last week and been watching Jim's videos no stop! 😎

[@Braamberg]

Sir, this series really became my yearly tradition. Thanks for making these vids

[@ritahenderson6533]

Sir, I say this every year but you are a hero for making these.

[@JediFan421]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. Honestly means a lot. Jim is the true hero for suffering for our pleasure. 2018 is already off to an "incredible" start as it is.

[@anikmonette2140]

Okay, it's 30 degrees Celsius in and out, my skin feel sticky, the air is still, trees and flowers released their very odorant chemicals, my skin getting covered in goosebumps is sensing a shift in air pressure, it's getting darker and while I'm waiting for the law of condensation to work it's magic, I'm watching these for a bowl of fresh air! Can't wait for a good shower, here...😥😥😥 It's been a while. I used to watch Jim more actively but last year and the current one, not so much. I forgot how enjoyable these videos were! And that laugh is so contagious!

[@Tiago88Alves]

Thanks for another compilation, JediFan! Happy Holidays, guys.

[@OptiJams]

My new Christmas tradition is watching these

[@svetlanasygiainen5339]

How did you manage to fit whole year 2017 in just about 1 hour?! I felt like there was SO. MUCH. SHIT. this year too. Almost topping year 2016. Thank you though. I appreciate it.

[@suventuz]

there are a few end of the year videos i always look forward to watching and these might be my favorites. thanks for putting them together!!

[@TheYurpman]

These videos are some of the best videos I look forward to at the end of each year.

[@UTubeLurker01]

Ah! Thanks so much for compiling these! ^.^

[@theblacksheep1000]

Im consistently watching ever year of these in the span of one weekend!

[@Omni-Kriss]

nice, was hoping for one for 2017 too! :D Hoping this will be a yearly series :)

[@JediFan421]

I've been making these videos since 2014 so at this point it's definitely a yearly series.

[@ujustgotpwned2008]

0:45 - 1:00 Jim's reaction to the bad zombie thing warms my heart every time.

[@chrisnichols9014]

It's the appropriate reaction to something like that. It's just...hilarious.

[@MallyMcAlli]

I was waiting for this compilation. Thanks for making these!

[@buckn5]

Did you see Jim shared it on his twitter?

[@anikmonette2140]

Buckn5 Nice! I wondered if these videos would bother him, but I'm glad he enjoyed them as well...

[@clearspira]

I genuinely wait for this every year. Good work.

[@jackmills7758]

When Jim laughs I laugh.

[@MinooMinou]

It's Christmas before Christmas! Thank you for the video.

[@atortarr]

I adore these videos. Thanks so much for putting all the work in to make them!

[@BritishEcho]

You sir are a legend for uploading these! I tip my hat to you good man!

[@Shtoops]

Hell yeah, I love these compilations. Thanks for your hard work!

[@RadBros46]

I was looking forward to this all year!!!

[@rossmallo]

Ahhh it's like an early Christmas, but instead of mince pies and presents we get bad coding and Unity Assets.

[@chanceisshane]

The cuts on the Lawnmower Game are comical gold! I am nearly in tears! [I can't breathe!] Edit: *Watches the original* Those were in the original?! I have a lot of Jim Sterling content to catch up on...

[@koriharpoon2476]

The turning the house and not the character would be great for a psychological horror...not a crappy stealth game.

[@peterclarke7240]

Always a bad sign when you're watching a gaming youtube video and you desperately want to hit the next button, even though you know its in the video and you can't press it, but you're so sick of watching the cutscene you'll defy the laws of gaming to get beyond it...

[@Noah_AWICB]

I LOOK FORWARD TO THESE EVERY YEAR

[@RazonOnline]

23:11 I'm about 99% sure that the background is the Battlefield 1 box art zoomed in and blurred.

[@samuryan8923]

Thank you again, gotta watch all three now

[@Morseliot]

Guys, please! What is the music playing on 26:14?

[@Zomdra]

It's "Shine" by Collective Soul (although it's a sped up version).

[@rule665]

Drudes Sandstorm just memed shitty games. "Whats the name of that really bad game?" "Oh, it's Drudes Sandstorm."

[@lonestar6709]

_"Okay, let's play Rat Simulator! It's crashed. That's Rat Simulator folks."_ -Jim Sterling.

[@lucanustiberious5562]

I've seen all of these. What a year!

[@kaineo100]

Great compilation. Nice job 👍🏻

[@beesinatrenchcoat-mu8xv]

The fact that I've seen all of these really makes me think about what I'm I doing with my life

[@ghostoflazlo]

1000 bees in a trenchcoat we're not talking about It. We're cool

[@anikmonette2140]

1000 bees in a trenchcoat Why? We can still have plentiful lives... Do we?

[@jimdietz784]

Thank you so much for this! I needed a laugh or 100!

[@Mark_nobody3]

14:02 That death was amazing, I didn’t expected that, sound of dying to be that dramatic 🤣

[@CSquared107]

The only game missing that I think deserved to be here was Fish for Gold. I loved that video so much.

[@Arbron]

It's hilarious how far downhill we've come since Digital Homicide. The Slaughtering Grounds and Temper Tantrum are *significantly* better than some of these.

[@danbain8660]

how long do there's take you to make? Thank you so much, it's so funny to watch. :)

[@Noah_AWICB]

Can't wait for this year's edition!

[@JediFan421]

Here you are! kzbin.info/www/bejne/roXEanmepc2tqrM

[@rjs3590]

See the types of games Jim plays gives me immense motivation as an indie dev. :D

[@Roadent1241]

Jaime Smith At least you're learning what not to do?

[@TheTrueRman]

PLEASE WAIT afer FIVE MINUTES of a horribly writen story and a toy boat, WE BEEN WAITING!!!

[@TheGingerKidFTW]

You should try have jim do a little intro for this. Would be cool!

[@JediFan421]

Hmm...that's a good idea for next year.

[@RenWilkes]

I've grown so accustomed to that Lenny Kravitz song though.

[@Roadent1241]

FYM Maybe doing a special dance to it then?

[@KGODSMACKC]

You sir have done the internet a great public service. Now excuse me while i go buy some popcorn..

[@Blunderbussy]

Thank God for you, JediFan421

[@B0wser998]

KEN!! KEN!? Why are you drinking pencils??!

[@SomeRPGFan]

6:01 Is that the cousin of Lola from "Run Lola Run"?

[@nightcandle62]

have a good xmas 16 mins in: ) ..i see you have perfected the art of swearing master level sensai.

[@paulocarreirapinto]

the traditional pile of crap. Thank you Jedi

[@anikmonette2140]

Can someone explain to me how the KZbin notifications work? Not only I stopped hearing the alarm not long ago, but when I started to look for the comments on the top screen KZbin seems to dump my ass on any random comment section, wherever it feels like it... And the user's comment I'm looking for is never there! I'm utterly confused but since KZbin mess with algorithms and settings a lot I'm not really surprised... Help?

[@krusher181]

Gunna guess you may need to update the app, but yeah comment reply stuff has always had issues. But mine works pretty well if the app is kept updated

[@VDViktor]

oh shit , dotn know if its been pointed out , but 43:32 , its a stolen asset from STALKER games. The sausage i mean

[@leedocherty4375]

cant hold back the tears of enjoyment jim , :D keep it up dude

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

Pain train 2... was that those robot things from the fifth element?

[@nickw4320]

Your laugh is very infectious. Love the video

[@Terastas]

"Way of Hero?" "Life of Black Tiger?" Is there some rule that shitty asset flip games are not allowed to have articles in their titles?

[@hyggehejsoen]

Why unavailable?

[@radicalthestral8210]

@0.47 Look at that Zombie. Just goin' around, waving his arms in the air like he just doesn't care, and generally disrespecting the established norms of sub-shoulder arm orientation. How ridiculous!

[@anikmonette2140]

Radical Thestral This zombie has the fever... THE FEVER OF THE DANCE! That's the first impression I got anyway, since he looked like he had the pose and everything...

[@jcohasset23]

A fun compilation though I'm surprised Cart Racer wasn't included in that since he had such a terrible time with it.

[@dikfayce285]

Now whenever i hear dragonfly all i can think of is a vehicular video game glitch

[@Groudonrct3]

Love these videos :)

[@Leokaiser]

20:53 I genuinely cried with laughter for a solid 3 minutes. What the actual fuck?

[@sabatheus]

14:11 How I reacted to the video, as a whole. 47:57 Why lord...why did it have to happen.

[@bloodrunsclear]

I keep coming back for the clown montage

[@DeepInsideZettaiRyouiki]

Times when honest consumer does more harm than Pirates...

[@DannyBouges]

"it's shit..... just shit.... with jim *FUCKING* sterling-san."

[@KatarnandKanos]

Hey now. Arena: Age of Barbarian is head and shoulders above the rest of this crap. I mean, it's fucking awful, but it's also the best thing.

[@JonTheGeek]

When he said 'Fur Fun'

[@daboss640]

at 2:30 anyone else see the guy walking near the edge of the frame?

[@blaze6134]

Loved it....It must be so embarrassing to have a game feature here

[@riseoftheflutes1739]

Blaze 613 i dont think they care. They are asset flips. They just want money.

[@riseoftheflutes1739]

Its like ea, but they just arent talented lmfao

[@antond12312]

25:25 is that fucking cry of fear!?

[@Jun123]

Just like a . Dragonfly ... Yeah Yeaaaaaaaaah

[@Jun123]

*The Game Crashed* 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Jun123]

Ken *WHY ARE YOU DRINKING PENCILS?!*

[@LostLoki227]

Somewhat surprised i haven't seen SWTOR mentioned in these arguments yet, subscription based lootbox filled nightmare that it is pretending to be free to play, that also includes actual game play effecting items such as crystals for lightsabers\blasters, materials for crafting, companions to fight along side you, pets, mounts, and an entire catalog of unique "cosmetic" outfits and appearance customization's that can only be acquired through said lootbox's....in an MMO... where appearance very much matters to many people.... and for just a few bucks more you can unlock a given item or outfit for your entire account.. rather then just one character and the interface to buy said lootboxes.. a glowing gold emblem at the top of the screen that cannot be hidden.

[@krusher181]

What arguments? This is just a gameplay compilation from terrible games... I’m confused?

[@bloodrunsclear]

You're going to eventually run out of ways to remix Fly Away. You know that, right?

[@averagesoul8256]

Thxs for these

[@DThirteen]

idk if i'm in the minority here but the squirty plays series jim does is my favourite of all his vids

[@DThirteen]

the game at 55:16 is the worst screen tearing i think i've ever had the displeasure of witnessing in my entire life.

[@Alhttani_97]

yes thank you very much you are the best

[@averagesoul8256]

Abdulrahman Alhttani o7

[@RipScissor]

To be fair, being forced to live in Los Angeles *is* a pretty heinous punishment.

[@Devilot109]

... Well, turning the level instead of the character's view is, so I've heard, how Marathon pulled off having vlook in a Doom (2) contemporary... but that shouldn't be necessary in a modern game?

[@ryanpearse910]

Yes! Thank God for you, Jedifan421!

[@moonraven6145]

Thank you :)

[@corrinvondrachen1097]

Thanks mate for this! No better way to end the year then watch Jim muck around in shit. Thank the gods for him.

[@murdeoc]

that spear of destiny onr actually makes sense tho. you play as jesus so obviously you walk on water...

[@krusher181]

Hate to say it, but Jesus couldn’t always walk on water. That was just that one time

[@honeybadger4568]

Ezeknek a játékoknak a nagy része nem ismeri a fogalmat "mutasd, ne mondjad."

[@mattdamutt5681]

All Right!! Early free gift of the internet!

[@LuriTV]

10:00 I recall the beginning of Ys VIII beeing a bit more exciting

[@jormungandr7885]

23:57 that game actually looks pretty good. I mean the graphics at least.

[@marthapozo4881]

@42:16 "These lands shall be fertile once more!"

[@masterneme]

This year got a huge bump in the number of people using Unreal Engine for crappy games, now Unity and GameGuru can share the blame with a third contender. P.S.: I was wondering if you have ever received a Copyright strike from trolls for using Jim's material.

[@SpookySkeleton738]

I don't think any of the blame lies with any engine, it lies solely on the developers of the game and Steam which allows this crap on their platform.

[@TheShatteredFlower]

well this IS VERY VERY FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DragoonBB]

Wait why is life of black tiger on here? That game is obviously game of the year persona 5 wishes it was that good.

[@jormungandr7885]

Now the question is, what's the best worst game of 2017? I would vote for Piccled Rick.

[@mockingjaycrispy8224]

Jǫrmungandr I figured it might go to The Art of Stealth, The Survival Driver Series, or InsanZ. But I guess we'll just see soon enough.
