Yeah, put me in the camp of 'slowly coming around to Stirling'. After the Grundlegab fiasco, I guess I took a look at his attire and just wrote him off as yet another one of those guys about 'Ethics in Journalism'. Didn't help that he came from the Escapist, a site that I didn't really care for.
But he's actually not bad. Shame on me for judging a book by its cover.
That just about sums up his shtick. "Alpha male" persona but with a left of center viewpoint.

the "alpha male schtick" flares way way too many of my crazed anger genes to ever watch that shit. I really don't care how good the message is, I just can't do it

I take it as him making fun of that schtick, and himself. Like, watching his live presentation, he's certainly not humble, but I don't think we are seeing the real Jim Sterling.

Well, obviously. What are there for big YouTube personalities who aren't putting on a bit of an act?

Before clicking, I knew exactly which one that was.. I absolutely love that medley. I hope someone is able to recreate it in Super Mario Maker (even if it takes multiple levels).

He spells out "Garmez Jurnalizm" in his introduction.
He's like a YouTube video game videos version of Steven Colbert after he started winking at the camera more.

Thing is, he was way more sincere in his earliest videos.
And people hated them. They thought he was just this obnoxious jerk shitting on everything.
So, when he thought he was inevitably going to get canned and had nothing left to lose, he went "Fuck it, they think I'm a villain, I'll GIVE THEM a villain" and cranked up the shit to 11, which is where he started up with the "HOW BLESSED YOU ARE TO BE ABLE TO WATCH ME. HOW I WISH I COULD BE YOU AND ALSO WATCH ME, BUT ALAS I CANNOT" thing.
And then his fanbase exploded, so he just kept running with it.
Also, it's worth noting that his on-camera persona is pretty different from his off-camera rants.
For one, his rants are actually scripted, while his on-screen stuff is improvised.
Honestly, if you really find his shtick that insufferable, you could always just skip ahead to when he starts the actual video and just listen to what he's actually trying to say, and then just turn it off when he goes back to being on camera.
He makes some extremely good and salient arguments about how the industry needs to change, and I can only hope that he makes an impact on it in some positive way.

I don't think it's much like Colbert's schtick, Stirling is adopting a persona in his mannerisms and costume but still saying what he actually thinks. Colbert's thing was pretending to be an actual extreme right wing pundit with all the associated political opinions, and then taking those already extreme points of view even further into obvious absurdity while keeping a straight face.
apparently that ball hit a catwalk above the field, which, because baseball is weird and tampa bay has the worst stadium in baseball, is considered in play, meaning that if a ball hits it and bounces down and someone catches it, even it's an out. One time, a ball landed on the catwalk, rolled around, and dropped down into someone's glove. The entire process took long enough for the hitter to round third base. They ruled him out, because someone caught the ball.

You know nothing of when they scream on the radio "ANYONE IN SECTOR d-3-a get the fuck out now!" as you are running for it so see and hear a AC 130 fly overhead do a turn and do that funny slide in the air as it opens up. Leveling that block you were just in.

Nah, none of the rest of the video is necessary for the punchline to have full effect.
I love that Usain just rolls over backwards and gets up.
"Meh."
More John Cena theme equals better video

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Man this is great music. This is exactly the kind of music I'd like to make.
