Jim, protips if you ever have to drive through a muddy road. 1.If you're going to do it, do it. Don't slow down, don't panic, just drive through it tenaciously. 2.Try reverse immediately, but don't use too much speed. You can usually back out the way you came in. 3.If you think you're stuck, don't spin your wheels. You'll only make it worse. 4.If you think you're stuck, go back and forth to ease yourself out. By that I mean, put it in reverse, go as far back as you can, then go to drive and go as far as you can and repeat. 5.If all else fails, wedge a board or sheet of plywood, or anything under your drive tires (in other words, if you're driving a front wheel drive vehicle, put them under the front tires.) and use the momentum you build up on the object to get out. These tips come from years of doing construction work on muddy jobsites and getting stuck a fair number of times. But I never had to get a tow!
I dozed off around the beginning of this video and woke up near the end while the truck was just sitting there with the music playing in the backround. At the time it seemed like the most beautiful thing ever.
It's probably realistic, damn good thing Jim doesn't need to work with trucks for a living. And it looks pretty. The last minute would make a good post apocalyptic screenshot without the hud.
Sometimes in these videos it feels to me like Jim really needs a friend sitting over his shoulder, with eyes and a brain, who can point out that maybe the truck would move better if it was using more than two wheels. I know Spintires is hard to work out, I wouldn't expect the advanced features to make it into a squirty play, but it says right there, in big white letters, that all wheels is off. I don't know if it's because of filming and talking, or just that a game like this is not worth putting any effort into, but a five year old would have at least been curious.
+Ian King to be fair i didnt realize i had AWD off at first until i noticed it :P and that was after like 15 mins of gameplay for me. so i cant knock jim too much here. spintires is a great game, just takes a bit of practice
Wait, Dismal Jesters is gone? I was well aware that Holmes seemed more and more unwilling to continue, but did I miss something and they announced it not being continued?
Seems like a complete nightmare S: They could have at least had the roads not... pre-driven on so you didn't have to try and line up with the previous tracks or lose your vehicle to the Earth gods.
MozilloGames Thing is, Jimothy was not playing this game correctly, it's a simulation which we all know he's terrible at because his shtick is just jumping right into the game, which you just can't do with a sim.
FOR all of you guys who think: This game is shit, you can't even get out of the garage. He forgot to turn on the differential lock and all wheel drive! Now for the long version: This is a kind of simulator. You can't fly in a helicopter sim without reading through and memorizing the controls and what they do. First off: Jim said he does not know how to drive, so he does not have a clue about differential locking (all wheel drive is self explanatory) Secondly: He didn't read properly though the controlls or he would have figured out how to use the diff lock and all wheel drive. This game is not for everyone. Try the free demo and then decide before you bash a game because someone in a video can't get through a part of the game. Maybe you are better than them. Don't forget that most youtube "celebrities" are actually worse, than the average player in terms of "skills" but their quality and aim is viewer entertainment.
Jim? Mate? It occurs that even given no experience in truck thingin' you could have at least tried turning the diff and AWD on and off. Seems like you could have forgotten of those options.
The game's on sale on steam atm, and I was looking for videos to help me decide whether to buy it or not. This video didn't help at all, but it was fun to watch Jim get stuck in the mud,
my friend who is a racing fan loves this ans been trying to make me get this. thanks for very well placed look at the game. though, it does show that you dont have your license in real life.... no momentum or anything, no swindling in the mud, and all of that WILL be useful if you ever decide to drive anywhere but asphalt roads in real life.
Don't exactly need to have driven a vehicle like that to know this. It tells you in the game, the parts he ignored. Also open/limited slip/locked diffs are not exclusive to off roading.
I think I legit want to play this. It's like a one of those dime-a-dozen simulator games but it's been narrowed down to one (seemingly) well-done mechanic.
I saw this at much earlier alpha and I have to say it is looking really good right now, it would help if Jim understood the admittedly complicated UI and cars in general better for him to appreciate the game, but the mud and water physics look and work really well. This is not the average shit that Jim looks at on steam and is actually good I hope Kurtjmac does an video on this newer release so that there is a video that shows off new features and models and shows off the real potential with this. I think it would be good for Jim to do a second take where he uses AWD and Difflock, and maybe checks out some other vehicles in the map.
I guess that those of us, who have been driving away, from the camping place, at a rock festival, after five days of non-stop rain, so many times, have a better understanding, ot the mechanics of this game.
I was curious about this game and was wondering why it wasn’t on steam anymore. Apparently the publisher and dev got into a serious fight and the dev inserted “time-bomb” bugs into the game, causing it to crash and outright not work. The community attempted to fix the game, but then the publisher stepped in and simply pulled the plug. Guess it is fitting that this video ended on a sad note just like this game. Wow Stephen, you really foreshadowed hard this time.
What a glorious stuck in the mud simulator! That is not Jim's fault, by the way, this game seems to want no one to get anywhere while also showing off some kick ass mud physics! Also, comments on old videos. Yay me.
Modes to lessen or increase the simulation depth in regards to controls and general difficulty are why Euro Truck Sim did so well. Other games such as this one would do well to take note. Especially since this one actually seems decently put-together otherwise.
As fuck awful as the game seems I really appreciate the level of detail they put into the terrain, the way the tires dig in and leave presumably permanent marks and the way water interacts with obstructions are pretty cool for a low budget game like this.
Jim, your problem is that you never turned the all-wheel-drive on. Which you didn't do because you didn't know how. Similarly, when you changed trucks you couldn't move because you never started the engine on the second truck. Over on the left was a big red message that said "START ENGINE". I think it is a button, but I don't know since I don't own the game. And you've got a winch, if you look up how to use it. Hook to a tree and pull yourself out of the mud. This is one of those games where taking a minute to learn about what you can do and how to do it is well worth it. You don't need to master everything (like how to run the crane some vehicles have - that can wait), but learn how to turn the front wheels on, how to lock the differentials, and how to run the winch. I have watched several "let's play" vids of this game, and have yet to see anybody who seems to understand the gearbox, though. ;)
May need to finally pull this video and give it another try. Though 'Squirty Plays' often feature games with broken features, unfinished mechanisms and ugly assets, it appears this game is legitimately 'fine.' Learn a little more about how the trucks are expected to be driven and give it another go. :)
The idea of Jim in an actual physical car scares me

But I never had to get a tow!
Trucks never die, they're just missing in action.
Wake me, when you get me out of the fucking river.
Jim, be one with the mud.
Become the mud.
The true key to win this game~
Put the mud *inside* of you Jim.
Inside of you....
*****
This is my fetish............do it Jim.
Starting to sound like another idea for Jonathan Holmes.
guppo26 Dude, too soon
*Clever innuendo about mud and a penis*
This is how I imagine Jim driving a truck in real life
Diff lockers Jim, they lock the differentials.. They're pretty nice.
I'd like to imagine that Jim coughed at the beginning due to the exhaust somehow filtering through the screen.
You know what, this actually looks suprisingly good. Sure, it's a niche title, but it seems to pull off what it's trying to do.
played the free version a while ago, was a surprising amount of fun.
serrayak Yeah, looks nice! Maybe I'd change my mind after 5 minutes of gameplay but from the look of it, seems decent...
That last image makes for kind of a nice, solemn wallpaper
The ground is so soft that I'm convinced the game takes place on top of a mousse cake.
+Fortstorm nope it's russia in april ;-)
I dozed off around the beginning of this video and woke up near the end while the truck was just sitting there with the music playing in the backround. At the time it seemed like the most beautiful thing ever.
Come on, you didn't even use 4wheel drive or diff lock.
Yea I don't know shit about off roading and I was thinking about the all wheel drive.
I remember the tech demo, otherwise you couldn't do anything.
That would make too much sense. Too much sense is bad for yt business,.
Truly the Dark Souls of driving games.
This looks less like a game and more like a tech demo for an admittedly impressive physics engine.
It's probably realistic, damn good thing Jim doesn't need to work with trucks for a living.
And it looks pretty.
The last minute would make a good post apocalyptic screenshot without the hud.
It also has those cool soft-body tires.
Not sure if Jim really "gets" the game. He didn't use either the differential lock or AWD.
GLAD TO SEE SO MANY TRUCKERS KEEP THE TIPS COMING THEY ARE USEFUL AND SO ARE YOU
Alright Jim, now lets do another take where you use DiffLock and all wheel drive :^)
Sometimes in these videos it feels to me like Jim really needs a friend sitting over his shoulder, with eyes and a brain, who can point out that maybe the truck would move better if it was using more than two wheels.
I know Spintires is hard to work out, I wouldn't expect the advanced features to make it into a squirty play, but it says right there, in big white letters, that all wheels is off.

After three years I still play my spintires :D
This is the best Truck Stuck In A Sandbank simulator I have ever seen.
Is it just me or do the ground and water physics look surprisingly competent?
Dat ending tho.
Probably marks me out as a colossally sad individual, but, this game makes me very happy. Trucks!
RIP Jim
These videos make my day. To bad dismal jesters is gone. I feel it died prematurely. It could have got at least 50 episodes of good content.
***** what's with the giggling?
evan young It was on 29. +40 would create another number
Steve B why wasn't that the first thing I thought.
Wait, Dismal Jesters is gone?
I was well aware that Holmes seemed more and more unwilling to continue, but did I miss something and they announced it not being continued?
SpadeRZA go to their twitter pages. Jim says that him and Conrad are planning on making something new though. I hope they bring in more people.
Jim, if you ever go offroad, make sure you have all wheel drive on
This sheds new light on why the state was so reluctant to give Jim his drivers license =P
These roads have such terrible foundations. They just collapse under tire INSTANTLY, like.... warm butter.
Welcome to loose soil and mud underneath machines that way several tons.
as someone who used to drive a truck, i can assure you that this is exactly how muddy roads work
Seems like a complete nightmare S: They could have at least had the roads not... pre-driven on so you didn't have to try and line up with the previous tracks or lose your vehicle to the Earth gods.
I see that you never saw roads in rural Russia. You better hope you'll never have to drive on them.
MozilloGames Thing is, Jimothy was not playing this game correctly, it's a simulation which we all know he's terrible at because his shtick is just jumping right into the game, which you just can't do with a sim.
quite impressive simulation
Tip for offroading...put it in All Wheel Drive and Lock the diff
Fantastic Mr. Sterling.
FOR all of you guys who think: This game is shit, you can't even get out of the garage. He forgot to turn on the differential lock and all wheel drive!
Now for the long version:

Surprisingly I find this game kind of appealing
It's quite impressive that the entire river is physics based, some extremely impressive tech being used here.
Best ten minutes of my day. ^^
The amount of times I nearly spit my coffee on my keyboard is not able to be counted. The music at the end nearly did me in.
The water and mud is beautiful!
Jim?
Mate?
It occurs that even given no experience in truck thingin' you could have at least tried turning the diff and AWD on and off. Seems like you could have forgotten of those options.
I loved halo back in the day. Great music too 😀
very pretty sunset and halo music at the end :D
The game's on sale on steam atm, and I was looking for videos to help me decide whether to buy it or not. This video didn't help at all, but it was fun to watch Jim get stuck in the mud,
Slow and steady wins the race, Jim. :)
At 5:10, what would happen if he clicked the big red Start Engine text?
love the solemn Halo tribute
best ending ever
The dirt physics are actually surprisingly good.
my friend who is a racing fan loves this ans been trying to make me get this. thanks for very well placed look at the game.
though, it does show that you dont have your license in real life.... no momentum or anything, no swindling in the mud, and all of that WILL be useful if you ever decide to drive anywhere but asphalt roads in real life.
Thank you
The game look quite good for people into this kind of stuff. Saw my brother bought it and he loves trucks and stuff like that.
Use the diff lock! It's as if you never driven a tractor or similar off road vehicle in your life. :3
Never.
MOST people haven't driven shit like that before you fucking dingus.......lol 😝😝😝😝😝
Don't exactly need to have driven a vehicle like that to know this. It tells you in the game, the parts he ignored. Also open/limited slip/locked diffs are not exclusive to off roading.
As an american i couldnt help but be screaming "Put it in 4 wheel drive!". But as a person who doesnt like mud bogging i also was going "Meh"
Nice Marty O'Donnell interlude :)
That ending... perfect.
As an Euro Truck Simulator fan, this actually kinda excites me :D I just hope they add more content to it.
I think I legit want to play this. It's like a one of those dime-a-dozen simulator games but it's been narrowed down to one (seemingly) well-done mechanic.
I saw this at much earlier alpha and I have to say it is looking really good right now, it would help if Jim understood the admittedly complicated UI and cars in general better for him to appreciate the game, but the mud and water physics look and work really well.
This is not the average shit that Jim looks at on steam and is actually good
I hope Kurtjmac does an video on this newer release so that there is a video that shows off new features and models and shows off the real potential with this.
I think it would be good for Jim to do a second take where he uses AWD and Difflock, and maybe checks out some other vehicles in the map.
This actually looks pretty good fun....
The physics and water (And overall graphics) are very appealing. Someone hire the people behind this in future GTA games!
I just love the ending
_never forget plays as the sounds of the river lead us to sunset_
I WAS THE ONE DRIVING THIS FUCKING THING
Pretty sure he said "Why was no one driving this fucking thing"
As Jeremy Clarkson once said...
SPEED AND POWER!!!
Jim please do a Part 2!
Incredible. GOTY all years.
It has nice graphics at least.
I'd be just as confused and stuck if I had jumped into this game, Jim. Don't you worry.
Oh man this really speaks to the 8 year old in me.
I guess that those of us, who have been driving away, from the camping place, at a rock festival, after five days of non-stop rain, so many times, have a better understanding, ot the mechanics of this game.
A public warning to never go off-roading with Jim.
I fucking love this game. Especially multiplayer with friends, crazy fun.
Beautiful. Can we get it in IMAX?

Can't stop watching this video as it is a good chuckle but on another note I want to know what the music is at the end. Anyone know?
I couldn’t quite remember were it was from lol. I thought it was from Medal of Honour but no I found it. It’s Halo 3, Never forget.
10 hours of the last minute, please!
Holy hell, Spintires updated a crapton since I last saw it.
this video spawns a buzzfeed article "10 reasons you should fear jim sterling getting a drivers license... number 7 blue my mind!!!1"
If you get across the river, you immediately hit a land mine.
I love this video
There's something oddly charming about this game. It made for a hilarious video, either way.
Nice use of Halo music Jim! =)
Jim, your diff locks are not engaged.
Jim, the diff locks.
Jim, lock the damn diffs.
Jim! The damn differential needs to be locked.
Ji.... oh fuck it.
Modes to lessen or increase the simulation depth in regards to controls and general difficulty are why Euro Truck Sim did so well. Other games such as this one would do well to take note. Especially since this one actually seems decently put-together otherwise.
Good luck with your license Jim.
As fuck awful as the game seems I really appreciate the level of detail they put into the terrain, the way the tires dig in and leave presumably permanent marks and the way water interacts with obstructions are pretty cool for a low budget game like this.
Actually the game play is pretty good, if you know how to use drift lock and all wheel drive (which is needed when going through mud in this game)
Jim, your problem is that you never turned the all-wheel-drive on.
Which you didn't do because you didn't know how.
Similarly, when you changed trucks you couldn't move because you never started the engine on the second truck. Over on the left was a big red message that said "START ENGINE". I think it is a button, but I don't know since I don't own the game.

I have watched several "let's play" vids of this game, and have yet to see anybody who seems to understand the gearbox, though. ;)
game looks freaking sweet as hell!
I have gotten this stuck in a tractor before.
What was that song at the end? I could swear I've heard that before.
Big Rigs: M35 Mako edition?
That moment the music from reach starts playing! XD
ROFL!
That music is really sad, but jim had to come in and make me laugh at the end huh?
I like the bit where he got stuck in the mud
May need to finally pull this video and give it another try. Though 'Squirty Plays' often feature games with broken features, unfinished mechanisms and ugly assets, it appears this game is legitimately 'fine.' Learn a little more about how the trucks are expected to be driven and give it another go. :)
That river, still not as wet as my driving instructor's handshake. O.o
Jim, did you have a little cry at the end?
This game looks pretty interesting, I'll keep an eye on it
Nice Halo 3 reference at the end!
This looks really well made, but i have no idea what's going on.
forgets the part on how to use the all wheel drive and diff lock even tho ya was reading it.................................Q! AND F!
also i haven't been as sad about losing a mode of transportation since shadow of the colossus
what is the music at the end of the video? i like the sound of it
can't remember the name, it's from the halo 3 soundtrack.
EDIT: looked it up, it's ironically named "never forget", lol.
