We gather the best boys in music for a showdown that will live on forever... or for a week, anyway.
As if that wasn't enough (and it should be), we talk more Zelda, we deal with that Yooka-Laylee thing, and Seattle was pretty cool!

Persona 5 should be reveling in its critical acclaim right now, but it's mired in a bit of bad press thanks to its publisher's attempt to control post-launch video content.
An honest case of trying to protect an audience from spoilers, a ludicrous overreach from an out-of-touch company? Both?
Both, obviously.
Oh, Atlus. You really shouldn't have...

Your ol' pal Jim Sterling was at Valve HQ to talk about Steam's future, including Steam Direct, Curators, and what to do about certain fucknuts.
Presented for your enjoyment is my assessment of the meeting and my thoughts toward the future of Steam and potential LACK of future certain fucknuts have.

Podquisition is up a day early because Jim will be cleaning up some dirty in Seattle.
Settle in for the usual slop. Game talk, interruptions, Andromeda. Oh, and some... "preview" words of warning regarding Yooka-Laylee.

Ed Furlong and T. Ryder Smith team up to create a movie that could have been a B movie classic if it didn't get everything so very wrong.
Nevertheless, a personal favorite and an interesting curio for those into game-themed cinema. Yes indeed.

The Jimquisition takes time out from personal, embittered, GAF thread-locking drama topics and reheats a favorite kitchen dish - let's slow roast some asset flips for maximum flavor!
From familiar zombies to a tragic arachnid with a great past and no future, we look at the most overused assets money can buy, and warn Steam Direct to look for the telltale signs of a bad, bad developer.

Things get interesting in this one, holy moly!
Let's talk about Nier: Automata, Horizon's music, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and then let's get really weird!

I realize this will reinforce the "Sony Shill" thing (which is ironic if you've known me long enough to remember when I was the "anti-Sony bias Nintendo shill"), but Horizon: Zero Dawn's success is worth talking about.
The game's doing well, and while those who loyally defend plastic machinery might think otherwise, that's a good thing for everybody. Yes, even if you're putting all...

This episode's suffering will be legendary, even in Hell.
There are no rails in sight as we hurdle from sincere divulgences to Metacritic mayhem, angry people, and extramarital shenanigans.
Somehow, we also get a lot of game chat, from more Zelda thoughts to a hot take on Nier: Automata and more!

Somehow we managed to bag two Matthew Lillard movies in a row. This time around, he's much more in his element as the evil Duke Fallow... but what is that accent?
Elsewhere, King Burt Reynolds has ninjas, Ron Perlman wants the chicken, and we make this movie sound 10,000 times more interesting than it actually is.

The first portion of this video is some performative yelling about weapon durability, specifically in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The second portion is about something less durable than any weapon in any game - the psyches of Zelda's most viciously defensive fans.

A flashier title for this episode would've been "Bait & Switch" but I had to dispense with style for something that lays it all out there.
While people are having fun licking Switch cards and Breathing the Wild, your pal Jim Sterling is dealing with another - yes ANOTHER - utter chancer.

This is the story of Fur Fun, a rubbish Banjo-Kazooie ripoff that was bought by a YouTuber and turned into a hot shitting disaster.
Let's look at Fur Fun, Dalasreview, and the copyright takedown strikes issued in their name.

Also, more thoughts on Horizon: Zero Dawn, and some of the most alarming tangents you'll hear in a videogame podcast.

Oh hello there, it's time to have a bad time. We call this time the Bad Time Time.
Wing Commander is not a very good movie, but we watched it anyway. A 1999 movie that looks like it was made in the 1980s, featuring a plot that makes no sense, a lack of antagonists, and the worst space navy in the universe, it's one of those films that might have been entertainingly bad if it ...

I am the videogame critic they tried to sue for $10 million.
I've kept relatively quiet for almost a year while a spurious and disgusting libel lawsuit was spuriously filed in an attempt to disrupt my life.
Now I get to talk.
