The Jimquisition: When Jim Sterling Was Sued For $10 Million By Digital Homicide
I am the videogame critic they tried to sue for $10 million.
I've kept relatively quiet for almost a year while a spurious and disgusting libel lawsuit was spuriously filed in an attempt to disrupt my life.
Now I get to talk.

this ep. was such a pleasure to watch Jim. I'm sorry you went thru such a nightmare.
This was such a delight. I'm so glad this lawsuit is over for you.
I wanna see your lawyer feature in a video. You've mentioned him a couple of times over the years, he sounds like a fuckin' hoot!
I gotta say, the lengths you went to protect free speech made me patronize you.
yaa Jim!!! everyone buy a shirt for his victory. imagine how many phone game "publishers" would cry like that if Jim reviewed phone "games"
One thing I particularly enjoyed in this video is the model that they stole from somewhere and attempted to put its hand in the "pistol to the head" pose, but due to their own inability to you know, change assets in anyway, it looks more like he's saluting.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time. This Jimquisition deserves an Oscar!
Good to see you came through this fiasco alright Jim. After watching the video I can see it was likely never in doubt with what went on, but still. :)
I don't know if it's any comfort, but I like to think that after this fairly public debacle, there will be a few less trolls willing to turn the law into a weapon against critics. I'm sorry for the grief and stress, and glad that you prevailed, Jim.
What else can be said: Thank god for Jim.
After seeing this video I had to contribute something to the Jim Sterling cause.
Provided that Romine finally allows this to rest here, I think you are handling this in the classiest way imaginable. They fucked up bad and kept and kept digging themselves deeper, but your response (both here and in your comments on Youtube) shows a surprising amount of perspective and sympathy. I hope one day they will have a moment of clarity and thank god for you after realizing how much worse you could have made this for them.
I think this dead horse has been beaten enough. Sick of hearing about this shit, move on Jim.
You have the right to choose not to watch the video. Move on.
It is rather sad the the whole bureaucracy of this legal system is a weapon in itself. Jim has done very well to shrug off the negative press just from receiving a lawsuit, no matter how pathetic it may be. Much like David Cameron, he can be accused of pig f**king and still stand tall. Speaking of British politics, when Jim ever does get back to the UK, I should like to shake his hand.
This entire affair was just sad. Glad Jim can just move on at this point.
Thanks again for using my "Party Remix" of Born Depressed in THIS episode. The meaning the ep. has for you combined with my intent for the song makes it so special. Thank God for You!
Thanks for all you do Jim, you definitely didn't deserve this, though I only started following you when I heard about the initial stuff with Slaughtering Grounds so I guess I can thank DH for that at least!
An apology senator! I demand an apology!
Nice to be able to hear it from you directly.
Oh boy. Here we go.
