Original Gamer Podcast Level 72 - Jim Sterling vs. Ben Paddon
Posted on January 22, 2011 by OG




I recently had the pleasure of interviewing two men from across the pond. The first is Jim Sterling of Destructoid.com, who has become a household name in the gaming community. Jim has many fans, and a lot of people who just hate his guts. One of those people just might be a bloke by the name of Ben Paddon. Ben's love for gaming spawned a site that points out the crap coming from the so-called video game press called "Game Journalists are Incompetent Fuckwits." Well, we've got them both on the Original Gamer podcast so they can finally say what’s they've been holding in for so long. Get ready for a no-holds barred discussion filled with vulgarity, cheap shots, and very little from yours truly. Sit back, relax and listen in awe at the filth that comes from the mouths of these two Brits.

You can download the podcast here





Head to Destructoid.com. for most of Jim Sterling's work. You can also follow Jim on twitter, @Jim_Sterling for the rest of his writings.

To read Ben's take on the gaming headlines that are hardly about gaming, go to Gamejournos.com and get your fuckwit updates on the Gamejournos Twitter.

It could have been better, but I think there's potential.
Microsoft needs to get their shit together before I buy this thing.
This piece of junk is going to fail faster than Windows ME.
