Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: Gaming Platforms & Cutlery | |
Put on your poetry hats and join two of the greatest wordsmiths of our generation as they fill your ears with verse. | |
Finally, I'm Really Starting To like these | |
love the use of the spoon as an eye patch, nice imagery | |
eloquent Jim, some top class wordsmithing. | |
0_0 Jim I never thought for a second that you, Yahtzee and TotalBiscuit sounded the same. In fact it baffles me that people think that you do. | |
I have heard it said that Jim tries to copy Yahtzee's sarcasm, but it's actually a surprisingly common medical condition which psychiatrists refer to as "cogitatio britannicus". | |
There is a medication to treat it, but it's not commonly available outside the UK. TBH, Jim sounds more like Diamanda Hagan than Yahtzee. And before people criticise me for saying he sounds Irish, I said "more like." As in, he's closer to her than Ben. | |
Yeah, Yahtzee and his gaming industry analogies. It wears a bit thin when it's the title of the poem. | |
Wait, people think Jim sounds like Yathzee, really? No offense, but I feel Jim's accent is way more American then Yathzee's, probably because he has lived there for so long. | |
Brilliant analogy Yahtzee. So now that the console people have their new shinny but not very different spoons, I wonder how long it's going to be before more than a few become outraged by the lack of interesting new soups to eat. The quality of the spoon means fuck all compared to the quality of the meal. And so far "this" gen console buyers look to be on a starvation diet. And Jim I'm calling bullshit. Try as you might to convince us that the UK is a land of varied and diverse peoples you are fooling no one. We all know that you Brits are enchanted from the bowels of the earth like the Orcs from Mordor. | |
Very nice poems this week, too many food analogies before breakfast. I need to go make some eggs. | |
Nice analogies. And as a northerner I hate the thought of all British people being grouped together under one accent (but excludes Scotland for some reason). Of course I could just be as vile and say there are only three accents in America, Redneck, "Standard" and New Yorkian. | |
My thought exactly!! But two nice poems this week again :) | |
But you see this quite often (well I've noticed it a lot). Just because two people have a British accent they are said to sound the same regardless of which region they come from. You could (as Jim pointed out) compare it to hearing two Americans. One with Southern accent and one with an accent from let's say... Boston and have someone reckon that they both sound the same. Which they probably wouldn't. Yahtzee's rhyme was pretty damn clever and Jim's had me laughing... though I am English too, so that might have helped. | |
A Jim Sterling/Yogscast crossover is something I could get behind. Your laughs are different enough to tell you apart, Jim. :D (I'd actually never thought Jim sounded like anyone except himself, to the point of the matter.) So is the trowel a PC or Wii U in this situation? I MUST KNOW. FOR... SCIENCE. Or something. | |
I imagine the Wii U is the spork of the gaming consoles I also imagine the trowel is a ZX Spectrum in this situation | |
Hang on, who ever said Jim and Yahtzee sound the same? I don't know a damn thing about British accents, but I do have a functioning set of earholes and those two don't sound much like each other. | |
IMHO this week goes to Yahtzee, although it was a pretty strong showing by Jim Sterling. Great series! | |
I walked away from that one confused at the lack of mind bleach required for Jim's poetry. I wasn't expecting it to not be twisted and warped! | |
Yahtzee (once again) firmly hits the nail on the head! Also his poetry is becoming much, much better. :) | |
Jim is British?!!! | |
I know Yahtzee and Jim are both English, but who thinks they sound the same? Nice of Jim to clear that up, but I don't know the other people he named. The best part of Yahtzee's poem is that he didn't say which console is which spoon.
Good question. I do not know what utensil to compare to the PC. And what's with those mustaches on the spoons?! | |
Wait... were there really people who thought Jim was putting on his accent to ape Yhatzee and TB? Oh my. -_- | |
Once, And in this when there was this word, "Into it you inserted a game, But with time the time a words meaning may change and twist, Now console means something else indeed, Its built disloyal to its new paying master; Now console defined includes bizarre modem plans, Like "literally" became redefined, by act And will "pirate" become twisted by creator's management to mean Once simple consoles lived for decades - I feel I must speak out to disagree I do not declare him wrong, ___ Apologies to you Jim if its something you already covered at length elsewhere, but I really only follow your posts on the Jimquisition and Rhymedown Spectacular with consistency; if that's the case a linkslap response would be deeply appreciated. | |
I don't know if those people really have an issue differenciating accents, or they just don't care. I'm going by the later. OT: Both poems were good, the "user friendly food" verse in Yatzhee's poem felt a little akward though. | |
As always, excellent poetry from both. | |
Wait a second, people think Yahtzee and Jim have the same accent? Are they deaf? I admit it now, the depths of ignorance that the Internet can provide has unlimited ability to shock and gall. I am not immune. Yahtzee's spoon metaphor was fun. | |
Wait they said you sound like yatzee? You sound completely different. Yatzee and TB i can see similarities in voice, but you Jim are unique here! Also the analogies didnt really work this time for yatzee since the new spoons are really just the same spoons but shorter. | |
i really thing Jim had the better one this week | |
Oh Yahtzee, you spoony bard. | |
The 3 guys, Total Biscuit, Jim and Yahtzee, are from totally different parts of England and differ accents. Not to mention Jim has been living in South America for a while so his accent is a more tinted to our own. | |
All things considered, not even denizens of the UK can figure out where the hell ElectricalBeast comes from. | |
