Niantic's Antics (The Jimquisition)

Niantic, the fiendish peddlers of Pokémon GO, had some huge layoffs recently. They also have a bunch of failed ideas, a game they've exploited into the dirt, and a real contempt for disabled players.

The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival - Too Lazy To Rip Off The Last Of Us (Review)

There's a game doing the rounds for being a "shameless rip-off" of The Last of Us. The thing is, it's such a hack job it isn't even good enough to be a rip-off. This fraudulent product is merely the idea of such forgery... so naturally I reviewed it, and you can read that review if you 2023-07-07 13:01:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Final Fantasy XVI - PlayStation Clive (Review)

Final Fantasy XVI is a game that tries to say a lot but doesn't know what's being said. As a verbose little knobend, I also have much to say, specifically in my review of the game that you can read by CLICKING HERE!

It Gets Good After 30 Hours (The Jimquisition)

With special guest, The Stupendium! (YouTube.com/TheStupendium)

An Evening with Commander Sterling: www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Manchester/HEAD/An-Evening-with-Commander-Stephanie-Sterling/36355242/

Is a game worth playing if it doesn't get good until you've played thirty hours of it? Inspired by Final Fantasy discourse, I tackle this thorny issue with the grace and balance you've come...

Final Fantasy XVI's Magical Misery Tour (The Jimquisition)

Final Fantasy XVI is miserable. Everybody is a vicious hateful scumbag, everything is governed by a vicious hateful system, and the international pasttime is vicious hatred. Apparently we're supposed to wanna save this world.

Asking Sterling Questions Post

Hello lovely patrons!

It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, so I reckon it’s high time we did an Asking Sterling podcast!

Once again, while Patreon-hosted podcast will be public, the questions are open just to you fine folks! Feel free to post a comment asking a question.

Like with all of these, I’m a pretty open book and am generally happy to answer most...

The Accessible Brilliance Of Street Fighter 6 (The Jimquisition)

Street Fighter 6 is one of the most important fighting games ever. Its approach to accessibility is remarkable to the point where someone whose memory disorder locked them out of an entire genre has become an obsessive player. It's that significant.   

Also it's making elitist gatekeepers cry, and it features Best Gladiator Girl Marisa. I love it!

The Trashgirl Diaries: Andrew F*ck

Andrew F*ck is a game developer and the inventor of pineapple juice. We also talk about Final Fantasy XVI.

So, You're Thinking About Dating Bobby Kotick (The Jimquisition)

Tickets for Commander Sterling's LONDON debut: https://www.outsavvy.com/event/14317/fist-club-the-return  

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick once lamented how hard his dating life was because people kept photoshopping him as the Devil. We think it's good that people know not to date h...

How YouTube Censored Michelangelo Because Of Zelda Fan Outrage (The Jimquisition)

Last week's video annoyed fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Last week's video was slapped with an age restriction that basically censored it. Last week's video earned this censorship for featuring Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.   

Amazing.

The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum - Ring Sting (Review)

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a milestone of horribly unfinished games daring to charge a premium price. One of the more embarrassing titles I've ever played in the sixty buck bracket, the ways in which this is broken and undercooked are incredible.

You Didn't Finish The Game (The Jimquisition)

They came, they saw, they reviewed. In the wake of a deserved 7/10 for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I look at the "fun" thoughts Zelda's fans have shared with me.   

Of particular note is the old "you didn't finish the game" accusation. If only zealous fans realized what a horrible defense of a videogame that truly was.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Astartes You Mean To Go On (Review)

I don't get HYPE for games very often, but I was admittedly very excited for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. I got pretty much what I wanted, the only problem being I got a little too much of it. Want my full thoughts? You can read 'em by CLICKING HERE<...

Our Discord Server Is Live (Sorry It Auto-Added Everyone!)

Well, that was one way to launch a server! So sorry Discord decided to automatically add every patron that could be added, I hope that wasn't too annoying. Just a note to say our Discord server, James Stephanie Sterling's Trash Palace, is now live!

For most of the first day, I imagine we'll keep the announcement here just while the dust settles and we acclimate. I like to think we've go...

Overwatch 2's Over-Botched, Too! (The Jimquisition)

Overwatch fans have had their hearts broken once again, as Activision Blizzard recently announced it was ceasing development on features promised since 2019. That is crappy. That is frustrating. That is pure Activision!

The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Like Tears In Rain (Review)
