Play as Jim Sterling in The Blocks Cometh

Play as Jim Sterling in The Blocks Cometh  photo


The Blocks Cometh, a really cool iOS game that features Mr. Destructoid, had its first full update today since launching, adding a wad of fresh content and four new playable characters. One of those characters, I am quite pleased to reveal, is ... me. 

Starting today, I will be an unlockable character in The Blocks Cometh. Unlocking me is quite simple and rather fitting -- just hit the "Write a review" button on the character select page, and my muscular, well-toned body is yours to master. I also throw microphones, like I do in The Jimquisition sometimes. That was my idea!

As well as an appearance by yours truly, the game has thirty new achievements, a Casual and Hardcore mode, a new "Landscape" view, in-App purchases and a bunch of fixes. The game costs $0.99 right now, so pick it up if you didn't already. It's good!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


Im surprised they could fit your ego on screen Jim. I don't think all of my skill could handle such a godlike character.
YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHH
Just downloading the update now , IM EXCITED TO UNLOCK YOU JIM , did that sounded dirty
speed 3/4? that seems a bit high :-)

j/k any idea if there will be an Android-release?
Somethings wrong with the speed.
lol lets be honest, your speed should be a one or a two.
I'm gonna play with Jim Sterling. ;)
Jump is a little high too...
They were able to fit such a fat bastard into such a small game? Impressive. Jump and speed is too high though, but attack is probably too low.
Does he talk sh*t about Sony in the game too?
@TigerUppercut

Jim, "talks sh*t," as you so eloquently stated, about any company that deserves it. If he blasts Sony for something, it's because they effed up and made fools of themselves.

Stop being a fanboy. It's annoying and makes you seem foolish.
Sold, buying now.
Awesome news and I totally want to be in a game but the game looks....ok.
Is this character exclusive to The Blocks Cometh? Will we not be seeing Mr. Sterling in the anticipated release of BonerQuest now?
No way Jim is 3 out of 4 blocks of speed.
"This application requires iPhone 3.1.3 update." DAMN IT!
wit and mic? More like balls and cock.
Yeah, like others, I have to agree that the speed seems too high!
Very adorable nonetheless!
JIM=HIGH TIER.
Shit, I'll buy it for $1!
I bet when Jim heard this the universe went "Achievement Unlocked".
Jim's REAL stats:

SPEED #_ _ _
JUMP #_ _ _
ATTACK ##################
I'd buy a t-shirt with that pixel art on :3 and wear it with pride.
There should be more speed jokes!
That is toooo cuuuuuute, Jim.
The Jim of the Sterlings.
To anyone who has commented on Jim's stats. We ran Mr Sterling through our advanced high tech training facility to get accurate stat results. Don't under estimate the power of Jim Sterling. That guy has mad athletic skills!

OH THE IRONING.
where's the ego stat
I don't know about more speed jokes... 3 is high but some fat guys can sprint. The jump being > 0 is what I have issue with. When was the last time both your feet left the surface you were standing on at the same time?
Wrote a review, found out it was Sterling, thought it was epic. Dead serious, Jim and Mr. Destructoid are my current mains.
This fat fuck can't even jump.....jesus Sterling...FUCKING JUMP.

<3
Hey the speed rating makes sense. The more I ate in River City Ransom the more my speed went up
More speed Jokes...uhh..uhh You're slow! yeah! a...wait
Speed it too high.
Speed 3/4, is the object of this game to eat the blocks?
I like that you can't jump that high
Worst game ever am confirmed. It will be the first game where you try to move your character and he just stands there and talks shit. Ha!
I wanna be The Jim Sterling
Speed is too high.
I think I speak for everyone when I say: OH FUCK!!! *goes to update*
Speed because speed, speed and speed. Har har!

P.S. That's way cool Jim.
I'm honestly not surprised about the speed, because he could pick up a lot of momentum rolling down hill. I'm simply shocked that there's a jump stat at all.
hahahaha laughing at the speed & jump comments, well done though Jim!
"Speed is too high." There, you can just copy and paste that. :-)

c wut I did thar?
The speed is just fine, assholes. How else could he write reviews so quickly?
Suhweet.
Master of words?

BWAHAHAHAHAA
Sterling's the name, speed's his game!
