(Forgive the audio quality this week, we had to use the backup Skype call recorder).
Steve Burns joins Jim and Laura to discuss Justin Roiland's virtual reality escapades, the PS4 Pro, and Kane & Lynch 2.
Also, angry Russian energy drinks and breathing through our skin!

Lara Croft is a littering, rude, privileged thug. That much we can ascertain from Angelina Jolie's licensed vehicle, Tomb Raider.
Join your favorite movie boys for a rundown of this ol' movie - one of the better produced, but ultimately less fulfilling films we've gotten to look at.

Every now and then I can still get a review copy in time to meet an embargo. The industry doesn't 100% hate me... yet.

I got more annoyed with the game the more I wrote about it.

Podquisition is the only videogame podcast where you'll learn advanced penis exercises.
Also, we talk about Nintendo's presence at Apple's keynote, Nuka World, and how Laura was totally right about the PS4 Slim.
No PS4 Pro talk though. Stupid Sony putting on a show after our recording.

Everybody's talking about the PS4 Pro so now's a good time for a review that's later than it should be!

S'alright
2016-09-05 15:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostOh look, YouTube did something that upset everybody again.
As videos are being flagged as inappropriate for monetization, all eyes are on YouTube's guidelines for "ad-friendly" content, as well as the crapshoot bots that unpredictably enforce them.
Because, y'know, automated systems are great at determining context.
2016-09-05 14:20:49 +0000 UTC View PostSterling's little birdies are tweeting secrets again, this time bringing the delectable stories behind Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's cash-grab elements.
How much warning did Eidos Montreal get about the microtransactions? Exactly why was Breach mode included? And what about the next Deus Ex game?
The Jimquisition has naughty secrets to share.
It's the trial of the century as Laura answers charges of 3D printing a working PS4 Slim! Also, we talk about the PS4 Slim even though it's definitely not real.
Elsewhere, there's some more Mankind Divided chat, we talk about Attack on Titan, and SEVERAL OTHER THINGS!
http://www.thejimquisition.com/on-no-mans-sky-and-refunds/
Yeah, talking about NMS again. With good reason, though.

Dead Rising Watchtower is a strangely faithful film that attempts quite valiantly to be canon. Sort of.
Rob Riggle steals the show and we learn all about the Internet Movie Firearm Database.
What a time!
2016-08-30 11:49:38 +0000 UTC View PostDeus Ex: Mankind Divided is yet another victim of this industry's unchecked avarice. It's an ironic victim at that, given the series' themes.
So, let's chat about the preorder bullshit and microshenanigans that inevitably dominated the game's post-launch discussions.
Oh... o...

This game came out without fanfare, but it deserves your attention!

If you don't want to hear about Mankind Divided for 50 minutes, then you didn't ask for this podcast.
When we're not chatting about that, we discuss the little known (but wonderful) game Valley, the PS4 Slim that Laura totally touched, and other stuff!

After tearing into rabid fans, compliant media, and hype culture, there is one final element to No Man's Sky that I need to tackle - its creator.
I've spent time thinking about this one, digging through the archives, and weighing the arguments. Despite honestly wanting to move onto new subjects, I just had to ask...
... did Hello Games tell a naughty lie?

Another game succumbs to the sad allure of fee-to-pay mechanics.

Well here we are again. No Man's Sky isn't even cold yet and we've got Final Fantasy XV filling in with the unreal hype and ludicrous "fan" outrage.
Yet more messengers have been shot as a delay news story became another example of what happens when hype culture rots people's brains away.
When you're having sex with a plastic arse but don't want to think about the implications of its disembodiment, there's only one site to turn to!
Also, more No Man's Sky bollocks, a good laugh at Konami's Metal Gear Survivor announcement, we learn about names for a bit.

I really wanted to like this one. Sadly it's a brilliant game... until you play it.

Join Jaime Pressly, Holly Valance, and Kevin Nash on DOA Island for one of the most surprising movies we've ever reviewed.
DOA: Dead or Alive is surprisingly not terrible. In fact, it's actually rather funny.

I'm sorry. I promise I'm about done specifically talking about No Man's Sky for a while, I just couldn't resist this.
I'm pretty much done with talking about No Man's Sky ("do a Columbo, do a Columbo") - oh, one last thing....

Site's not down yet, but even a *Metabombed* article is slowing it. The hype train for this game is off the bloody scale.

The battle stations are readied as The Jimquisition comes under fire from No Man's Sky's most infuriated defenders. Are they as bad as the crab animals in the game itself?
No. They are not.
In addition to loads of NMS talk, we discuss The Elder Scrolls VI, Nintendo's NX bollocks, and our personal comedy pretensions!
