He writes Satire just look at his Wiki page

Jim Sterling (born January 1, 1984) is an English video game journalist (though he prefers the term blogger), best known for his cutting wit and fashionable monocle. Jim Sterling currently serves as Reviews Editor at popular community gaming blog Destructoid.com

 

and has also contributed to IGN UK as a freelance writer. He is a regular host of the European-biased podcast, The Podcastle, and appears on Destructoid's regular podcast, Podtoid.

In the United Kingdom Jim Sterling was born and raised, on playgrounds was where he spent most of his days. He would play basket ball outside of his school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in a little fight and his mum got scared, so he had to move in with his auntie and uncle.

Sterling's style and content is often the subject of much controversy, preferring sometimes brutal honesty and favoring the full utilization of the games reviewer's 10-point scale. He is well known for reviewing games without even playing them, and instead feeding them to his son-in-law, or his pet Toucan. Sterling has also forged a style of sarcasm while delivering subtle related messages, which has been utilized in his most popular articles, such as "Ban This Sick Filth", "The Golden Rules of Gaming" and "My Atheist Day", where Sterling satirically takes the side of pro-censorship enthusiasts for video games in the media, wayward video game designers, software pirates, and ignorance within religious sects regarding atheism.

Jim Sterling often feeds on babies, as it is his main source of nourishment.

In 2008, Sterling took part in the Extra Life

 

charity, a sponsored gaming marathon raising money for young cancer patients. Raising $3000 for the charity, Sterling and friend John Kershaw played a selection of games from the SingStar franchise, effectively singing almost non-stop for twelve hours. The event was broadcast live online for the duration. [1]

Jim Sterling spends most of his time on top of Aztec Mountain, where a bloodline of monks have been assigned with the strenuous task of keeping him restrained for eternity. Jim Sterling very often attempts to escape his destined life in seclusion, he has however only succesfully done so twice in recorded history.

His first successful escape attempt took place during the middle ages. However, his victory was short lived, as the monks managed to sedate him and bring him back. Jim Sterling's second successful escape attempt happened very recently, and he has yet to be captured.

Until he can be taken away from society once more, he spends his abnormally prolonged life writing subjective opinions about video games, not to be confused with real journalism.

On August 11th, 2008 Sterling was named as the top writer in Sarcasticgamer.com's "5 Gaming Writers You Should Read." Sarcastic Gamer's Doc on Sterling:

"Jim [Sterling] has the rare ability to be ridiculous, over the top, and deadly serious at the same time. Jim can say more in 300 words than a lot of bloggers could hope to in a week. Some of my recent favorites include Jim weighing [in] on the Fat Princess, his take on improvements being made to Alone in the Dark, and his hilarious impalement of Denis Dyack."[2]

When he is not hanging around the back of the local pre-school with a strangely large net, Jim Sterling is a massive racist wife-beater, and also an accomplished marathon runner. He came 34,256th in the 2007 London Marathon and claims that he trains by running 15 miles a day, supposedly from local law enforcement.

If Jim Sterling was to be killed, nothing of value would be lost.

He also cries like a cat.
