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. www.original-gamer.com [email protected]
