After spending almost an entire day downloading Mafia III on the PS4, I'm compelled to reflect on how consoles are lying inferior machines that properly fucked up.
A harsh reflection, perhaps, but a bloody true one. Their makers consider themselves in competition with PC, so they're asking for some harsh home truths.

I take no pleasure in publishing this. In fact, I fear a Vanquish Part 2. Someone has to call out how obtuse this bloody thing is, though!

Podquisition's made it to 100 episodes! To celebrate, the gang make liquid mistakes as Laura drinks pussy rum and Jim becomes a live mixologist.
Also, Gavin played Gears of War 4.
We chat about Cuphead, more VR bollocks, the music of Pulp, and loads more. It's a 100-episode nonsense spectacular!
2016-10-13 15:41:58 +0000 UTC View PostBattleborn might go down in history as one of the most routinely humiliated big-budget games ever.
The wrong place, the wrong time, the wrong everything. Nothing went right for a game Gearbox once described as a "big bet."
What really sucks is that it was a good bloody game!

This is perhaps the finest example of how badly a virtual reality game can ruin one's day.

A short report on how fucking ridiculous Mafia III's PS4 download time is. (Spoiler: it's fucking ridiculous).

Dr. Isaacs and his mother lived alone in a small house on a hill…
Your favorite Movie Boys are back to look at the third film in the Resident Evil movie franchise… and it’s not great.
Idiot crows, a girl called K-Mart, and the Worst Wesker are all to be found in this wannabe Mad Max.
2016-10-11 15:05:36 +0000 UTC View PostVirtual reality has its cards on the table now. After waiting and seeing exactly how it would all pan out, it's time to deliver a verdict.
The verdict being that virtual reality is a bit toss, if I'm being honest.

Let's just say I'm not a fan of tech demos being sold as full games.

Other reviews didn't seem to dig it much. I loved it, and I don't even like VR.

It's the 99th episode of Podquisition and we celebrate by doing the same thing we always do - talk bollocks.
This week, we discuss PlayStation VR and the need to shoot clown babies with Move controllers. There's also more sad hope for Beyond Good & Evil 2.
As if that wasn't enough, Gears of War 4 thoughts and Gavin playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Yay!
http://www.thejimquisition.com/gears-of-war-4-review/
Good, but not as great as it should be. I expect initial phenomenal scores, with everybody agreeing in six to twelve months that it wasn't that hot.
2016-10-06 07:01:20 +0000 UTC View PostGoing hands-on with Sony's crack at the virtual reality market!
Frank is back! Well, not really. Capcom's calling him Frank West, but fans of his war coverage ain't buying it.
Dead Rising 4 is just one in a long line of games that discard voice actors like disposable cameras. Let's look at exactly why that's wrong.

Sociopolitical commentary happens on this episode. You have been warned. But seriously, let's talk about law and order...
On the show we discuss that Brazzers Overwatch thing, More NX bollocks, Ubisoft possibly breaking UK pornography laws, and Virginia followups.
You'll need plenty of stamina for this one!

This game is... special.
Its reviews are even moreso.

The Last Starfighter comes to us from a simpler time, before Tori Amos took our innocence.
Let's enjoy this 80s masterpiece, and lament the fate of an arcade playing cosmic doormat.

It's that game we talked about on today's video. How's that for content synergy?
2016-09-26 15:43:33 +0000 UTC View PostIf you see sinister political agendas where none actually exist, you might be a bit weird.
If you see a game with a woman in it and instantly write it off as "SJW propaganda," you might have a problem with more than just propaganda.

2016-09-24 16:20:20 +0000 UTC View PostThere's trouble brewin' at the ol' YouTube Place... again.
Let's look at YouTube Heroes, a new way in which the video service aims to look like it's doing something useful, but really isn't.
Would you eat an animal penis? That is the hot topic of the day, as the gang attempts to navigate the tricky world of knob munching.
Elsewhere, we talk about why Dead Rising 4 will be good despite the hate, we chat about Nintendo's continued NX coyness, and there's some discussion of some other stuff, probably!

This would've been published sooner but I couldn't stop replaying BioShock games.

There's nothing else I want to talk about, and I definitely don't mention any other subject but this.

Laura spent ages putting together a compilation of the best bits from the first fifty episodes of Podquisition!
From Link pissing out of his arse to a bathtub full of poo, all the stupid idiocy from this terrible podcast's first year are yours to enjoy again. Drink down that Booty Sweat!
