Time for another Q&A podcast, where I have answered questions from The Jimquisition's lovely patrons. Today we talk Britain, PS2 and PS1 games, and MANY OTHER THINGS!

Be the best that you can be, and if a mustachioed dog kidnaps you, play along.

This week is a zesty one! We talk about movies, vibrato, throats, and maybe sometimes games like Apex Legends and other stuff.

This was highly requested, for some awful reason. On a recent Jimquisition, we put in a skit where I provide a Kingdom Hearts "primer." I only recorded some key details to be edited down to skit level, but even that took 26 minutes.
Comedy Kingdom Heart plot summaries are nothing new, but people were interested in the full 26 minute recording. I've gone one better than that, decidin...

Apex Legends surprised us with a sudden launch this week, but has Respawn got the goods? Will EA undermine it like it did with Titanfall 2?
Right now, it's an impressively solid game, even if it's a bit unremarkable. Also the microtransactions and loot boxes leave much to be desired.

As Electronic Arts produces a spreadsheet to let customers when they can play Anthem, The Jimquisition takes a look at the concept of the confusopoly, where companies try to befuddle their customers on purpose.
We also look at how they're exploiting FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out - in order to guarantee those confusing sales.
2019-02-04 14:52:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends! It is time for more questions to be asked by you so they can be answered by me! Feel free to ask about things you might want to know, or things you... might not want to know? I suppose? Uh.
Anyway, if you ask questions I can answer them on an Asking Sterling podcast. How useful!
Mickey Mouse joins us as a special guest, definitely, for Kingdom Hearts III.

Kingdom Hearts III is finally here. Sora, Goofy, and Donald will finally put a stop to Xehanort, Xehanort, and Xehanort. Because a heart can live anywhere, even in data!
Yes, it's more total nonsense from a story perspective. As a game? Well, it's a ton of bloody fun, because it's a very good game!
2019-01-30 19:56:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Kingdom Hearts III is imminent, but we're not in the business of just letting you enjoy games around here. Let's talk about how awful Kingdom Hearts is.
I mean... it's a good game. A great game. But it is also awful, stupid, and utter gibberish.

I don't why I'm doing demo Jimpressions lately. I guess it beats doing nothing. Anyway, this is the VIP demo for Anthem that I got my hands on played a bit.
At least when I could play it after server issues and loading screen hangups.

Who the heck is discussing Halo Legends in 2019? We the heck!

On this week's episode, we talk about Hbomberguy's historic Donkey Kong 64 stream for trans charity Mermaids.
Also, Resident Evil 2, and some other things!
2019-01-24 21:15:20 +0000 UTC View Post
The Resident Evil 2 remake has been anticipated for years, and Capcom has impressively lived up to expectations.
Gorgeous, gory, and bloody scary, Resident Evil 2 is back, and it's juicier than ever.

Electronic Arts has handled the Star Wars license terribly. They've screwed things up in ways that are embarrassing to watch.
Having only squirted out two Star Wars Battlefront games and made a mess of both, EA deserves to lose its exclusive hold over Star Wars games. EA also just deserves to lose in general.

Scurrilous rumors abound as a result of a dog with a very nasty habit.
Elsewhere, we talk about Travis Strikes Back, Onimusha, New Super Mario Bros. U, and OTHER THINGS!
2019-01-17 18:24:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Words like "repetitive" and "bland" should never really be associated with a Grasshopper game, but Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a sadly repetitive and bland affair.
A humdrum spinoff of No More Heroes, this self referential mundanity is a far cry from what makes Suda51's work stand out.
2019-01-16 19:41:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Onimusha is a heck of a series that Capcom has criminally neglected since the PS2 days. Someone must have remembered it exists though, because Onimusha: Warlords has been rereleased!
The best part is how it still holds up really well. What a great bloody game. And what's this? OOH A LIVER!

Loot boxes remain a touchy issue in the game industry, especially now that prospect of regulation has become very real. The defenses, the lies, and the propaganda in support of them has ramped up quite a bit.
The "AAA" industry is going along a rather expected path, hiding behind the concept of art to defend itself. If you regulate loot boxes, they argue, you're censoring art.

2019-01-14 12:54:10 +0000 UTC View PostBlimey, we've had a lot of these. I thought after I'd finally flipped the right switch so the questions came from patrons, I wouldn't have so many questions, but you sent loads in. Well done you!
This podcast mops up the ones left behind in the last round of questions WHICH ARE ASKED IN A DIFFERENT POST NOT THIS ONE! Be on the lookout for another question post WHICH IS NOT THIS POST in ...
Resident Evil 2 is getting its long awaited remake soon, and Capcom has graced the world with a one-shot thirty minute demo in the RCPD.
So what do we think of that then?

What can even be said about this hot nonsense?
Treasure of the Four Crowns is a very special B movie in which dinosaur attacks barely warrant a mention and everything has to explode. It's a real... head turner.

How do you do Little Shop of Horrors without the plant? One self-aggrandizing drama teacher tried it.
Also, we wrap up 2018's games and look forward to 2019's games. As you do.

It is not to be said lightly, but truly, that Samael The Legacy Of Ophiuchus (no punctuation) is the worst PlayStation 4 game I've ever played.
Yes, worse than Life of Black Tiger. Way worse.
Gilson B. Pontes is back with yet another horror show, their worst one yet!

Jim takes a trip to Hell in a quest for true love. Along the way, we shall take a look at the seven deadly sins and the “AAA” publishers that personify them.
That’ll be good for a laugh, eh?

2018 was the long, long year, but finally we are at its end. At the End of Time, there is only one thing to do... look at the shittiest games of the year!
Join Skeletor as we look at a year in which high profile stinkers ruled the roost. From Fallout 76 to Dynasty Warriors 9, we have some obvious - and not so obvious - games to look at.

Shut up and listen, for it is time to give out awards! The Jimquisition Awards 2018 have arrived, with five winners to argue about.
We have game awards! We have corporate sponsors! We have world premieres! Watch and wonder!

Time for another round of questions. Well, this is the third load of a single round of questions, with more to come. Aren't you so inquisitive? Let's talk about positivity, bread, and phases!

Ashen isn't trying to hide the fact it's exactly Dark Souls. It's Dark Souls, people! And that's... fine?
Perhaps the best Soulslike ever, Ashen understands From Software's formula better than many other pretenders.

Gris is one of those indie games. You know the ones. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. This is a very good one of those ones. Y'know?
A platform game with mild puzzles and plenty of THEEEEEMES, a fantastic art style and soundtrack are really what brings it to life.
