Well when you have Lil Wayne in the game, the devs are bound to be uninspired and lazy, thinking of the prospect of making a game to feature that complete tool makes me cringe.
+PixelReviver I wonder what would happen if he gave an honest review of his own albums, the more recent ones anyway,I think he doesn't even want to be in the studio when he is to be fair.
+DoctorLazers That's amazing. The production value is really high too, some serious dosh being thrown around there. The X-Men parodies are pretty as well, all the fucking aside. They actually manage to treat it's source material with more respect than the official movies do.
At least that game tried to be SOMETHING. I didn't mind the slow pace being a game about giant creatures fighting yet you couldn't even block. Definitely shit but at least there's a slight hint of soul somewhere in there, unlike these shits.
+John Dolan Well, in other "worst off" lists of the year, it ranks at the bottom of the lists and those guys hardly put "steam greenlight" games on it. So with that heap of sh!t added to Jim's list, it's no wonder Godzilla fails to make his list. I bet he could make a top 20... or maybe a top 30 of shittiest games if he wanted to.
Wait....That was an official Alone in the dark game............ And it came out this year...... .............................Why ? ......Just fucking WHY ?
Adam Sandler only makes movies so he and his friends can go on a vacation, so pixels exists only so Adam Sandler and friends can play super retro games
+Jason Miller I don't know why that bothers people so much. That's like saying Jim Sterling only makes videos about video games so he can play video games, which I'm pretty sure is true. Whats wrong with people doing something because it lets them do something they want to do? Would people rather others don't enjoy their work and get nothing out of it but a paycheck?
+B Stogsy (elementalcobalt) The difference is that Jim produces something of value and cares about his content, whereas Sandler stopped trying long ago since he gets his money and all expense paid vacation anyway
Gabe Newell Simulator won second worst. How many bets that a Steam Greenlight Simulator will exist AND make the Shittiest Games of 2016 list as well? It's not like Valve cares that their names are being shat into the ground as asset flip games at this point.
+LIQUIDFGC none of these games are by valve or associated with it. honestly you guys are getting worse than the people shitting these titles out. you're starting to get unbearable, while one can be ignored, the other cannot. if you dont like the store so much stop using it. go to origin or something.
Yes Yes YESSS OH, YES, JIM, FILL ME WITH YOUR QUISITIONS! LET THEM SPLURGE ALL ON MY FACE, DRIP DOWN MY CHIN, AND ONTO MY MAN JUBBLIES! Thank God for you!
Woah. When you fall through the world in Galactic Hitman, the level looks like it was stolen straight from Space Hulk. I mean seriously, it looks exactly the same. I can't be the only one seeing this right?
Someone had the balls to call out Batman for not only being bad on PC but for it being just an "o.k." game. I remember the hype surrounding the game before launch as it was going be some epic end to the series. Turns out it was City again but bigger and a bit better looking
Looked up Gabe Newell Simulator, it would seem that it has been "updated," and is now titled Gabe Newell Simulator 2.0. And it has DLC called "Portal mode." Good job, Steam.
Jim, at this point, we deserve an answer. It's really odd how Jimsaw is there when you aren't, he has the same fascination with ironic deathtraps you do, and he hates the games industry as much as you. So...who IS The Jimsaw Killer? We, as your audience, demand an answer at once!
You want to know what's sad about Gabe Newell Simulator? After I played it and got some...interesting feedback, I dug into it a little, as I remembered I picked it up before. Turns out, prior to it trying to get on Steam, Gabe Newell Simulator was just an out-of-the-box first-person shooter with some tacked on survival elements and awfully produced, generic light flares. This means that the version we know today is actually a reworked and improved version of its original concept, the "better" game. And it's still the second worst of the year. Pretty impressive.
No more Jimquisitions this year? Goddammit. On a side note, I'm really surprised Jim did not include Kitchen Simulator in the list. He sounded so angry/upset during his squirty play, I thought that game left a crack in his soul.
Oh Jim, Sometimes I feel you go overboard, Sometimes I feel you're too immature on a subject, Sometimes I highly disagree with your opinions, But godamn do I love you. Keep doing what you love mate, you'll always have my love and support, and for all that is mighty please lend your Skeletor voice to a game someday. Have a good New Year, son.
Great work from yourself as always Jim, I really love the inclusion of skeletor and Jimsaw. As far as the actual list goes though I think it would be better to omit to utter drek and to base the list around the shittiest games of the year that actually had actually had some level of expectation of quality or interesting premise before their release. Arkham Knight, Overlord, Re-release of Raven's Cry and Alone in the Dark are excellent choices. The others; Digital Homicide crap, Asset Flip CopyPasta, and PoxelZ clones are all blatantly awful without anyone needing to quantify that. Maybe even do 2 lists: The Biggest Let Downs of the year, and The Steam Atrocities of the year?
Well, obviously. 2014 had pretty much no games worth playing (unless you believe hype-culture is a myth, and even then, Watch_Destiny isn't worth playing).
+Baron Von Banter ...this is true. I guess there was a lack of outstanding titles in 2014, really. Haven't played Bayonetta and I adore Smash, but a lot of games came out really felt more like placeholders than anything. Wolfenstein to me only stood out because there wasn't a decent shooter for the current generation (not counting Destiny), and as good as it was, Alien only stood out because there weren't any good survival horror games at the time. Shovel Knight is a niche I can't get into very well, so I'll exclude my opinion on that.
+JackZake64 2015 was WAY better than 2014. All things considered it was actually a goddamn amazing year (for games at least. Pretty good year for movies too). You can never judge the quality of a year by its worst media, because there will always be plenty of shit and the farther we get the more games people make each year, and so the more shit there is. But a year could see the release of a billion truly shitty games that are uninspired, barely-working asset flips and it would still be an outstanding year if there were ten absolutely amazing games released (and a handful of good ones to supplement). Because nobody buys the shit, so it doesn't matter how much of it there is. It only matters how good the good was. And this year had some pretty great good stuff.
+James Roman Yeah, that was a grim reminder that piece of shit game existed and some people actually defended it because BATMAN OMG SO GOOD Fuck those people.
+Mika Rose (Sweetdeath) Fuck those people for defending a game they liked? Fuck you buddy! Its actually a good game if you play it on a platform that it runs on
Because it's pretty well made, and not Rocksteady's fault the port was fucked. It's actually a lot of people's game of the year who play on consoles, ironically.
+mehdude9999 It being functional on consoles doesn't negate the fact that they knowingly sold a completely broken version on PC (which isn't the first time they've done that). The only reason they apologized this time when they never have in the past is because Steam refunds had just come out, and they weren't making any money. So they pulled it from the store for months, rereleased it, and it's STILL buggy?? They deserve their admonishments.
+mehdude9999 Does it matter who's fault it is? And it is evidentally not well-made, because the PC version was unplayable for most. The same goes for Arkham: Origins, that also favored paid DLC over bug fixes. Studios that release such shoddy products, and proceed to not fix it, deserve to be scolded, and not praised/rewarded.
+Walther Stolzing With a picture of him on my phone while matching against all the shirts on the shelf. :-) The mask was actually harder. Did you know the Internet has a distinct lack of Skeletor masks? I eventually found this facsimile by searching for a generic "Yellow Skull" mask and hoping for the best.
+Jim Sterling The final result looks kinda like a green-tinted Sans. Most hilarious, considering how because of Game Grumps I can't imagine Papyrus with a non-Skeletor voice.
+Pet Rock The starting song is the boss theme from Binding of Isaac Rebirth, but it shifts to Megalovania around 8:40. Then shifts into something I think is from a Dynasty Warriors game.
+Wildspacerunner Hunky To be fair to the game, it's not broken like these. It's just bland and has little life to it past the admittedly impressive visuals
May I formally request Megalovainia be played in the background of all future scathing takedowns. It really lends it some gravitas and menace to the proceedings.
+Mike White the game was batmobile simulator anyways. The only problem with PS3 Skyrim is that dlc came out late because bethesda designed the game for Xbox. Bethesda doesn't even care about PC either oh the irony.
+Andraste that's part of it, but the PS3 version was prone to crashes, especially later in the game. It was so bad that DLC almost didn't come out at all. As for arkham knight I haven't played enough to make a full assessment, but yeah, the bat mobile stuff is a royal pain
+Andraste I remember a whole period when both my friend and I on different copies of the PS3 version had the game consistently crash whenever you made any contact with a body of water. And beyond that there was a huge myriad of glitches at launch and while stuff like backwards flying dragons that occasionally crash the game is amusing it isn't an excusable state to ship a game in.
+Mike White That's because PC gamers think they deserve special treatment, despite the fact that their rampant piracy is the reason no respectable dev gives a fuck about PC ports anymore.
I had a terrible day at work in which a total fuck up on my part resulted not only in a load of broken stuff but as well in my phone getting busted. Everything sucked a puma penis...and then I heard Jim's voice and the clouds parted. Thank god for you Jim, and thank you for making us 9-5 grunts feel a bit better at the end of a balls deep bad day.
As i understand, it was popular during the 1980s, created solely for marketing toys, I was born in 91, so I kinda missed the boat on that one. But I always loved that slackcircus video HEYYYEYYYEYEYEYEYEAAH
***** It used to be on Cartoon Network every weekday after school in the mid 2000s. It was alright, I liked She-Ra better, for whatever reason, even though they're just reskins of the same show.
I just want to say that you're embracing of the absurd and strange has been an absolute joy this year. Absurdist comedy is a lost art and it's good to see someone trying to make use of it.
Much love brothaman (Jim Phucking Sterlin Son) aka JPSS. I absolutely love when you use Skeletor and the voice etc.... It gets me.... Welll straight foreward it just get ya boy moist in the YargBlarks. Thank you for this and thank God for you Jimithy Sterlannng. Stupendous job. Right Oh. Seriously though Jimbo or Jimbob plz keep on keepin on with the Skeletor madness. Moist and creamy = Good dreamy. For one and for ALLL
I gotta be honest, after that Halloween episode Shrimp "Jimsaw" Sterling doesn't really have that certain "punch" anymore. I'm more scared of Cliff Bleszinski now.
Yknow, just the other day, I was wondering if Jimsaw would return. I was afraid he was gone after the climax of the Cliffy Arc. Thank God for Jim for bringing Jimsaw back on the show.
+5 points for including Megalovania in the background music. That song aptly describes how bad your psyche gets wrecked with all those horrible games... You're having a Bad Time with all of those.
Jim - you owe it to your viewers and your own integrity, to dress up as Sans the hoodie skeleton, and play Megalovania whenever we're about to have... a bad time... with video games. JIM I IMPLORE YOU.
Kudos for calling out the asset flippers. I did not know about this abuse going on with the UnitZ asset. And the description of Atari is so perfectly accurate: ""Atari itself is little more than a hollow corpse these days, worn by its corporate acquirers like a grizzly rotting suit"
The inclusion of Arkham Knight seems strange. The PC version was indeed a fucking joke, but the functional versions really aren't that bad. Nowhere near the bottom of the pile of 2015 anyway.
+Alex Swinden Now everyone's entitled to their own opinions but doesn't what jim say about arkham knight being at its best mediocre considering what he said in his review was that it had brilliant moments
+Jack "The PC version was indeed a fucking joke" There you go then. That version is on the list. Why should this version get bonus points because other versions were somewhat less bad?
+Jack I think it is here not only for PC performance (which is horrible) but also for publisher's practices of selling a clearly broken game and still selling it and its accessories.
+Jack Big budget AAA title that gets released in an utter broken unplayable state for most people who bought it, its gets removed from the Steam store for a couple of months to get fixed, and you see 0 problems with that? It's ok to ignore the fact that the pc version was a broken mess just because the console versions worked ok, great logic there buddy.....
What's really sad is that a while back, former Sega of America President Tom Kalinske and Atari's founder Nolan Bushnell were going to go into a joint venture and buy Atari. Unfortunately, Atari rejected the offer. We can only imagine what might have been.
Funny fact; I actually refunded my pre-purchase of Overlord: Fellowship of Evil back when they inexplicably delayed the release date over a month with no notification on Steam. Glad I missed out on that one.
Im glad Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 is making every shitty game list this year. That game truly was a dumpster fire of disappointment.
+DreamcastGuy its a shame man TH series used to be the pinnacle of good games back in the day
Well when you have Lil Wayne in the game, the devs are bound to be uninspired and lazy, thinking of the prospect of making a game to feature that complete tool makes me cringe.
+Kvlt Ov Freki even Lil Wang himself said the game was trash. LOL.
+PixelReviver I wonder what would happen if he gave an honest review of his own albums, the more recent ones anyway,I think he doesn't even want to be in the studio when he is to be fair.
+DreamcastGuy Not a disappointment, it's heartbreaking.
That Pirate themed porno Jim is talking about, is actually pretty funny. Like, it's not amazing but it somehow works in some really solid comedy.
+DoctorLazers The main guy is a legit solid comedy actor. I've seen him do a non-porny skit before. He's got a charisma to him.
Jim Sterling It's actually funny enough on its own that they released a version of it with most of the sex edited down to an R-Rating.
+DoctorLazers That's amazing. The production value is really high too, some serious dosh being thrown around there.
The X-Men parodies are pretty as well, all the fucking aside. They actually manage to treat it's source material with more respect than the official movies do.
DestyNova X-Men porn you say? Excuse me, I need to go... Masturbate.
+DoctorLazers Don't you mean Magnetobate?
Skeletor's really let himself go.
Someone's gonna say it, so I'm doing it myself. :-)
He just hasn't cared as much since He-Man told him they needed some "time apart."
Jim. love me daddy
+Jim Sterling fuck you, beat me to it :(
+Jim Sterling Dammit don't steal our comments!
It's just big bones
Real Talk: Did Tony Hawk 5 borrow its engine from Goat Simulator?
they both use unreal 3
+S Martin lmao xD, I actually didn't know that. Wow.
+S Martin it all makes sense....
+ThatKidOverThere both games are made on the Unreal Engine. the engine is what is wrong with THPS5. they are too dumb to hack in arcade physics.
You sir owe an apology to Goat Simulator.
Shows how much shit there was when godzilla ps4 isnt even on the list
This ^
At least that game tried to be SOMETHING. I didn't mind the slow pace being a game about giant creatures fighting yet you couldn't even block. Definitely shit but at least there's a slight hint of soul somewhere in there, unlike these shits.
+John Dolan Your statement nailed it in the head sadly..
+John Dolan Well, in other "worst off" lists of the year, it ranks at the bottom of the lists and those guys hardly put "steam greenlight" games on it. So with that heap of sh!t added to Jim's list, it's no wonder Godzilla fails to make his list. I bet he could make a top 20... or maybe a top 30 of shittiest games if he wanted to.
+John Dolan Correct, but Jim plays loads of shitty Steam games... frankly speaking, he could probably make a list out of those turds alone.
Wait....That was an official Alone in the dark game............ And it came out this year......
.............................Why ?
......Just fucking WHY ?
***** "keeps touching self"
Yeah not stopping that, guess Alone in the dark can continue to burn then.
"touchy touchy touch"
+DecoyBlackMage that may be the funniest response to that line i've ever seen.
+DecoyBlackMage And its 4 player co-op you're not even Alone
Projared called that one at the end of his worst of 2014 list.
+cyanmanta Ah yes, I saw ProJared play it. He managed to get a co-op partner, but that experience was quickly shit.
Adam Sandler only makes movies so he and his friends can go on a vacation, so pixels exists only so Adam Sandler and friends can play super retro games

B Stogsy not to mention his shit movies are the only reason ppl like Rob Schneider are known. That’s got to be a war crime in some countries.
"Good, now to release 20 more games in the last 3 days of the year so they can't appear on Jim's list!"
-Digital Homicide probably.
Gabe Newell Simulator won second worst.
How many bets that a Steam Greenlight Simulator will exist AND make the Shittiest Games of 2016 list as well? It's not like Valve cares that their names are being shat into the ground as asset flip games at this point.
+LIQUIDFGC Someone actually tried to get Greenlight Simulator passed on Greenlight. I've got a video on it knockin' about on the channel somewhere.
Color me surprised, I missed that one.
I don't imagine it getting much lower than Gabe Newell Simulator, then. :(
+LIQUIDFGC I think I mite make steam simulator steam simulator just so I can git into a Jim video
+LIQUIDFGC none of these games are by valve or associated with it. honestly you guys are getting worse than the people shitting these titles out. you're starting to get unbearable, while one can be ignored, the other cannot. if you dont like the store so much stop using it. go to origin or something.
+Tomoko Kuroki, your avatar is even worse than his.
I just exclaimed, "Is that a goddamn shrimp mask? Has that been a shrimp mask this whole time and I never noticed?!"
Yes
Yes
YESSS
OH, YES, JIM, FILL ME WITH YOUR QUISITIONS! LET THEM SPLURGE ALL ON MY FACE, DRIP DOWN MY CHIN, AND ONTO MY MAN JUBBLIES!
Thank God for you!
lmao what
Wow that's hawt!!
well that escalated rather quickly.
+TDUShelby
Wow. Good thing I'm not gay.
... fuck it, what you drinkin? I'm buyin!
Did you copy paste that from a Jim shipping fiction story?
and the saddest thing is that Jim Owns all these games i feel sorry for him, jim you put yourself though too much.
+permeus2nd He does it all for us. Thank God for Jim Sterling.
Steam refunds brah
+permeus2nd I think he has a Press account.
+Priyank Kumar With who? he doesn't work for Escapist anymore.
Priyank Kumar at your words i can hear DH turning in there grave, but i think that most of the games come out of his own pocket.
I was shocked when I realised Raven's Cry is some shitty little steam indie game. At first, I honestly thought it was made by Ubisoft.
Is it just me, or does Gabe Newell in Gabe Newell Simulator look kind of like Mrs. Doubtfire?
Woah. When you fall through the world in Galactic Hitman, the level looks like it was stolen straight from Space Hulk. I mean seriously, it looks exactly the same. I can't be the only one seeing this right?
+Frownigami I wouldn't be surprised if it was at this point.
+Frownigami More then likely it's assets of a generic starship corridor, but admittedly the resemblance is there to some degree.
+Frownigami It does look like a space hulk map.
Watched this video while I was taking a shit.
+Crafty Seagull facts
I'll admit, I'm jelly. I wish I could shit.
That music made me think I forgot to exit out of Binding of Isaac, you cheeky bugga
Someone had the balls to call out Batman for not only being bad on PC but for it being just an "o.k." game. I remember the hype surrounding the game before launch as it was going be some epic end to the series. Turns out it was City again but bigger and a bit better looking
I think Arkham Knight is the worst in the series.
Asylum: Best Use of Medium
City: Best Overall
Origins: Best Story/Writing
Knight: Best While Drunk
Where can I find an anime version of Jim Sterling?
+Commander Jupiter The internet.
+Commander Jupiter It's not really anime but the best you'll get: i.imgur.com/zlsBLCe.jpg
Excellent
Isaac Thefallenapple We need a real anime version. With big eyes and stuff.
Commander Jupiter I can't draw for shit so don't look at me. But I agree.
And then 2016 completely shat the bed afterwards.

What I wanna know is how the fuck did Jimsaw get past all those Doritos?
+Icebolt854 With difficulty. Standing on shards of Doritos is no mean feat
To be fair we only seen his face, I bet his feet have been shredded by those Doritos!
Don't ya mean.... no mean FEET?! AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOD I'M HILARIOUS
+Icebolt854 Never mind that -- how did he survive Cliff Bleszinski???
Looked up Gabe Newell Simulator, it would seem that it has been "updated," and is now titled Gabe Newell Simulator 2.0.
And it has DLC called "Portal mode."
Good job, Steam.
Of course I'd just put a drink to my lips when the phrase "Everything Foreskinning Wrong" popped across the screen.
Jim, at this point, we deserve an answer. It's really odd how Jimsaw is there when you aren't, he has the same fascination with ironic deathtraps you do, and he hates the games industry as much as you.
So...who IS The Jimsaw Killer? We, as your audience, demand an answer at once!
I'm surprised Silent Hill: Pachinko edition didn't make this list.
i love how THPS 5 didn´t need any more explanation than that.
Oh boy, it's the best time of year to be a fan of Jim Sterling.
Hey my mom has that same sword as Jim has.
12:31
Seriously dude if there is ever a new heman show you should definitely be able to voice the main villain skeletor your voice for him is perfect 🥰
This video may be a bit old now in 2018, but the THPS5 montage set to He-Man music always brings a big, amused smile to my face. Good going :)

You want to know what's sad about Gabe Newell Simulator?
After I played it and got some...interesting feedback, I dug into it a little, as I remembered I picked it up before. Turns out, prior to it trying to get on Steam, Gabe Newell Simulator was just an out-of-the-box first-person shooter with some tacked on survival elements and awfully produced, generic light flares. This means that the version we know today is actually a reworked and improved version of its original concept, the "better" game. And it's still the second worst of the year. Pretty impressive.
it looks like steam decided to fix the pages for all of DH's games so they all show up under the DH name.
+omfgbunder2008 Actually, once Digital Homicide was exposed, it gave up the charade and started quietly changing things.
No more Jimquisitions this year? Goddammit.
On a side note, I'm really surprised Jim did not include Kitchen Simulator in the list. He sounded so angry/upset during his squirty play, I thought that game left a crack in his soul.
upset skeletor wasnt replaced with papyrus
but considering this year as a whole this is just as appropriate.
Should had been itward instead
+Chimera Papyrus is too naive to pull that kind of thing off.
I think he did have a papyrus costume plus sans is better anyways
+Chimera Not everything has to be undertale, bud.
+Daemon Bomb you need more DETERMINATION
Take a drink every time Jim says "shit" or a variation of the word.
I needed a good video to watch right now. And this pops in my inbox as if on cue. :)
Oh Jim,
Sometimes I feel you go overboard,
Sometimes I feel you're too immature on a subject,
Sometimes I highly disagree with your opinions,
But godamn do I love you.
Keep doing what you love mate, you'll always have my love and support, and for all that is mighty please lend your Skeletor voice to a game someday.
Have a good New Year, son.
Corruption of Champions and Trials in Tainted Space for the best games ever.
No until you can "romance" Whitney! >:(
Great work from yourself as always Jim, I really love the inclusion of skeletor and Jimsaw.
As far as the actual list goes though I think it would be better to omit to utter drek and to base the list around the shittiest games of the year that actually had actually had some level of expectation of quality or interesting premise before their release.
Arkham Knight, Overlord, Re-release of Raven's Cry and Alone in the Dark are excellent choices.
The others; Digital Homicide crap, Asset Flip CopyPasta, and PoxelZ clones are all blatantly awful without anyone needing to quantify that.
Maybe even do 2 lists:
The Biggest Let Downs of the year, and The Steam Atrocities of the year?
Still better than 2014.
Well, obviously. 2014 had pretty much no games worth playing (unless you believe hype-culture is a myth, and even then, Watch_Destiny isn't worth playing).
+Kelerak smash and Bayonetta 2 both came out in 2014.
***** exactly
+Baron Von Banter ...this is true.
I guess there was a lack of outstanding titles in 2014, really. Haven't played Bayonetta and I adore Smash, but a lot of games came out really felt more like placeholders than anything. Wolfenstein to me only stood out because there wasn't a decent shooter for the current generation (not counting Destiny), and as good as it was, Alien only stood out because there weren't any good survival horror games at the time.

First thing I spotted when starting this video was that rad Zant figure and Death mask.
Friggin' cool, yo.
I had already forgotten that Arkham Knight existed. The game was pretty forgettable.
I disagree
+James Roman I agree
+James Roman Yeah, that was a grim reminder that piece of shit game existed and some people actually defended it because BATMAN OMG SO GOOD
Fuck those people.
well that was the most polite comment argument I've ever seen.
+Mika Rose (Sweetdeath) Fuck those people for defending a game they liked? Fuck you buddy!
Its actually a good game if you play it on a platform that it runs on
Hearing Megalovania while Jim dishes out justice, is very, VERY, satisfying
Furiously scrolls to find the people angry at Arkham Knight being on this list.
Because it's pretty well made, and not Rocksteady's fault the port was fucked. It's actually a lot of people's game of the year who play on consoles, ironically.
+mehdude9999
It being functional on consoles doesn't negate the fact that they knowingly sold a completely broken version on PC (which isn't the first time they've done that). The only reason they apologized this time when they never have in the past is because Steam refunds had just come out, and they weren't making any money. So they pulled it from the store for months, rereleased it, and it's STILL buggy?? They deserve their admonishments.
+Rc3651 Exactly, if it wasnt for Steam refunds this game would still be in it release state, eg utterly broken mess.
mehdude9999 Found one.
+mehdude9999 Does it matter who's fault it is? And it is evidentally not well-made, because the PC version was unplayable for most. The same goes for Arkham: Origins, that also favored paid DLC over bug fixes. Studios that release such shoddy products, and proceed to not fix it, deserve to be scolded, and not praised/rewarded.
The "Everything Foreskinning Wrong With Steam" Award...
Not even Yahtzee Croshaw could think up something that ingenious.
How did you find a shirt colored exactly in Skeletor's skin tone?
+Walther Stolzing With a picture of him on my phone while matching against all the shirts on the shelf. :-)
The mask was actually harder. Did you know the Internet has a distinct lack of Skeletor masks? I eventually found this facsimile by searching for a generic "Yellow Skull" mask and hoping for the best.
+Jim Sterling The final result looks kinda like a green-tinted Sans. Most hilarious, considering how because of Game Grumps I can't imagine Papyrus with a non-Skeletor voice.
"Utter scrotum"
Oh lord, I'm dying 😆
Is that megalovania as background music
It's a late 2015 video about video games. OF COURSE there is Undertale in the background music.
Im not really a fan of undertale. i dont even watch it or have it. a mate just metioned the song to me
No. It's the binding of Isaac soundtrack.
+Pet Rock The starting song is the boss theme from Binding of Isaac Rebirth, but it shifts to Megalovania around 8:40. Then shifts into something I think is from a Dynasty Warriors game.
Love the choice of words in the title. This channel is like if the AVGN had a masters in game design and economics.
New "Battlefront should be n1 just saying
+Wildspacerunner Hunky It's tosh and not worth it's cost, but not as bad as this pile of shit.
+Wildspacerunner Hunky To be fair to the game, it's not broken like these. It's just bland and has little life to it past the admittedly impressive visuals
+Wildspacerunner Hunky that's more disappointing than shitty.
The only problem with Battlefront is the lack of content. the game works just fine.
try harder.

4:20 Forgive my ignorance, but what is the name of that glorious music playing?
+joaomlo2 He-Man theme song
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
joaomlo2 Party of five theme song.
May I formally request Megalovainia be played in the background of all future scathing takedowns. It really lends it some gravitas and menace to the proceedings.
You forgot five nights at Freddie's
The fact that Gaben himself allowed that simulator to happen is fucking insane.
Arkham Knight is on here just for the PX port? The PS3 port of skyrim didn't keep it off games of the year lists
+Mike White the game was batmobile simulator anyways. The only problem with PS3 Skyrim is that dlc came out late because bethesda designed the game for Xbox. Bethesda doesn't even care about PC either oh the irony.
+Andraste that's part of it, but the PS3 version was prone to crashes, especially later in the game. It was so bad that DLC almost didn't come out at all. As for arkham knight I haven't played enough to make a full assessment, but yeah, the bat mobile stuff is a royal pain
Mike White I had skyrim on ps3 for 2 years before getting it on pc and I never experienced crashes.
+Andraste I remember a whole period when both my friend and I on different copies of the PS3 version had the game consistently crash whenever you made any contact with a body of water. And beyond that there was a huge myriad of glitches at launch and while stuff like backwards flying dragons that occasionally crash the game is amusing it isn't an excusable state to ship a game in.
+Mike White That's because PC gamers think they deserve special treatment, despite the fact that their rampant piracy is the reason no respectable dev gives a fuck about PC ports anymore.
I had a terrible day at work in which a total fuck up on my part resulted not only in a load of broken stuff but as well in my phone getting busted. Everything sucked a puma penis...and then I heard Jim's voice and the clouds parted. Thank god for you Jim, and thank you for making us 9-5 grunts feel a bit better at the end of a balls deep bad day.
Sorry Jim, but Im not sure you listed the song that ran from 4:21 to 4:49. I'd like to know what that one was please.
+Pizza Problems It's He-Man.
thank you, appreciate it.
+Pizza Problems
Never watched He-Man, did you?
As i understand, it was popular during the 1980s, created solely for marketing toys, I was born in 91, so I kinda missed the boat on that one.
But I always loved that slackcircus video HEYYYEYYYEYEYEYEYEAAH
***** It used to be on Cartoon Network every weekday after school in the mid 2000s. It was alright, I liked She-Ra better, for whatever reason, even though they're just reskins of the same show.
That Blade doll! Puppet Master kicks ass! I now have a new found love and appreciation for Jim Sterling. Thank god for him.
2LittleNintendo4me
:D
+duisjfuds dinges Nintendo Badge Arcade just narrowly missed an appearance.
+Jim Sterling Badge Arcade? I thought you were going to put up Amiibo Festival on the list
+Jim Sterling I'm actually shocked Devil's Third didn't make the list.
+Jim Sterling They made up for it with Splatoon though right?
Very true.
I can't thank Jim enough for all the entertainment he has given others and me this year. Thank goodness for Jim "Fucking" Sterling son.
This video was great until Megalovania started playing.
And then it got even better.
I pray to Shrek every night before bedtime, thanking him for creating you Jim.
That Dynasty Warriors 4 theme on the background... you sir have a great taste for themes.
Thanks for another year of honest garme jurnalizm Jim. Have a happy new year.
Shoutout to BOI boss music in the backround, loved the video!
Binding of Issac music play, unconsciously grab my 360 controller, put it back down realizing I have a problem.
Wow, as a budding editor, I found your intro to be incredible.
Jim every time you use warriors music in your videos, i have to boot it up yet again xD such fantastic bgm.
I just want to say that you're embracing of the absurd and strange has been an absolute joy this year. Absurdist comedy is a lost art and it's good to see someone trying to make use of it.
Much love brothaman (Jim Phucking Sterlin Son) aka JPSS. I absolutely love when you use Skeletor and the voice etc.... It gets me.... Welll straight foreward it just get ya boy moist in the YargBlarks. Thank you for this and thank God for you Jimithy Sterlannng. Stupendous job. Right Oh. Seriously though Jimbo or Jimbob plz keep on keepin on with the Skeletor madness. Moist and creamy = Good dreamy. For one and for ALLL
Happy Hogmanay when it comes Jim. Can't wait to see what cheeses your onions next year.
Putting Isaac music of Arkham Knight almost made me go "This game looks okay...."
+Jim Sterling See you in 2016 Jim and Happy New Year!
The Shrimp mask up close is scary because you can see Jims mouth through it
most of the crashes in the tony hawk bit looked like the players fault for landing fucking sideways half the time
I can't get over that Undertale music in the background. I find myself just drifting off during the video listening to it
Thanks! I waited all year for this! Skeletor's voice was slightly muffled though.
I gotta be honest, after that Halloween episode Shrimp "Jimsaw" Sterling doesn't really have that certain "punch" anymore. I'm more scared of Cliff Bleszinski now.
I'm so happy that The Penetrator made an appearance. You'll always be my favorite character Penetrator.
1:10 i am walking in the middle of the night while watching this.
fuck me its dark and creepy here
Yknow, just the other day, I was wondering if Jimsaw would return. I was afraid he was gone after the climax of the Cliffy Arc. Thank God for Jim for bringing Jimsaw back on the show.
+5 points for including Megalovania in the background music.
That song aptly describes how bad your psyche gets wrecked with all those horrible games... You're having a Bad Time with all of those.
7 years later and finally a good episode
lol @ "Like an anus in an eye socket" a quote for a T-shirt if I ever heard one!
I know I'm late to the party, but that Saw bit was awesome hahaha
Jim - you owe it to your viewers and your own integrity, to dress up as Sans the hoodie skeleton, and play Megalovania whenever we're about to have... a bad time... with video games.
JIM I IMPLORE YOU.
Oh god, words cannot describe how much I've been waiting for this.
Man I see you everywhere..
Kudos for calling out the asset flippers. I did not know about this abuse going on with the UnitZ asset.
And the description of Atari is so perfectly accurate: ""Atari itself is little more than a hollow corpse these days, worn by its corporate acquirers like a grizzly rotting suit"
I've been waiting for this episode for tooooooooo long.
The inclusion of Arkham Knight seems strange. The PC version was indeed a fucking joke, but the functional versions really aren't that bad. Nowhere near the bottom of the pile of 2015 anyway.
***** EXACTLY, and the free updates they've put out kinda negate the season pass issue (which I think has actually been alright)
+Alex Swinden Now everyone's entitled to their own opinions but doesn't what jim say about arkham knight being at its best mediocre considering what he said in his review was that it had brilliant moments
+Jack
"The PC version was indeed a fucking joke"
There you go then. That version is on the list. Why should this version get bonus points because other versions were somewhat less bad?
+Jack I think it is here not only for PC performance (which is horrible) but also for publisher's practices of selling a clearly broken game and still selling it and its accessories.
+Jack Big budget AAA title that gets released in an utter broken unplayable state for most people who bought it, its gets removed from the Steam store for a couple of months to get fixed, and you see 0 problems with that? It's ok to ignore the fact that the pc version was a broken mess just because the console versions worked ok, great logic there buddy.....
When megalovania started playing I laughed so hard
Fuck, I miss this Jim Sterling.
What's really sad is that a while back, former Sega of America President Tom Kalinske and Atari's founder Nolan Bushnell were going to go into a joint venture and buy Atari. Unfortunately, Atari rejected the offer. We can only imagine what might have been.
I'm surprised that you didn't add Konami's behavior to this list somehow...
Good luck with 2016 and another year of content.
Well Jim, you did it. Hello Shrimp is now available at bandcamp. I'm increasing my Patreon pledge by $5 and buying this song for another $5.
@ 3:10. Jim, please don't call those hacks "developers". They didn't develop anything but our annoyance for filling Steam with shite.
Best channel I've subscribed to all year easily.
Funny fact; I actually refunded my pre-purchase of Overlord: Fellowship of Evil back when they inexplicably delayed the release date over a month with no notification on Steam. Glad I missed out on that one.
