Im embarrassed to say that I actually liked him and watched his stuff in the pre Orange Man days. He usually had decent commentary when it came to Unity shovelware on Steam. But man…. life has been rough to him. Jim and Boogie the perfect fat degenerate perpetually online books.
The only reason Jim and guys like Totalbiscuit even managed to be worth something once is because the bar set by game's journos was so low that someone being actually negative was unique.
They were garbage then (just look at TB's history with WoW) and never got better. Everyone just picked the bar up off the floor where it was.
They capitalized on the New Media Douchebag, where it's Cool to be Negative (a trend wave they were riding from the few years prior blowout known as Angry Video Game Nerd).
People still ride this wave today. Negativity sells.
