    any degeneracy on my part, any kind of polyamorous behaviour, is not my fault. Have you any idea what it's like to be this irresistible to men and women alike? Have you any idea what it's like to be the most desirable, the most delectable man in games media? No, you don't, because you're not me.

    There has to be enough Sterling to go around! (It's at this point that you can make a fat joke and say, 'well, there's plenty of Sterling to go around, we can see it').

    Imagine a world where you can't bang Jim Sterling. That's not a world which I would want to be a part of.
