Review: Dead By Daylight

Needs less windows. Far less windows. 

The Jimquisition: The Mighty Has Fallen

Mighty No. 9 is out after three years of waiting. The fans got what they expected... but not at all what they wanted.

Time for a post-mortem then. Let's dissect this corpse and poke at the gooey bits inside.

Review: Umbrella Corps

http://www.thejimquisition.com/umbrella-corps-review/

This game is awful. 

And that's coming from someone who LIKED Operation Raccoon City.  

Podquisition Episode 84: Shitey No. Nein

Boglinwatch 2016 gets a load of new developments, and two thirds of the cast talk about their injuries.

Speaking of injuries, Mighty No. 9 was released. It was sad.

Elsewhere, we talk about Scorpio backtracking, YouTube sponsorships, and Destructoid making (IN MY OPINION) a big mistake.

Oh, and here's that video Gav wanted you to watch - 2016-06-23 15:15:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Metabombed: Mighty No. 9 Is A ‘Big Stinky No. 2’

http://www.thejimquisition.com/metabombed-mighty-no-9-is-a-big-stinky-no-2/

I think everybody saw this one coming. 

The Jimquisition: Being Slightly Critical Of Violence In One Particular Way

Let's see if this topic can spark the same nuanced and interesting influx of fresh comments that the last one did.

It's time to talk about the amount of violence shown at E3. Critics chat about it every year, and now the time has come to join the fray.

Review: Mighty No. 9

http://www.thejimquisition.com/mighty-no-9-review/

Laura Kate guest spots for our review of Mighty No. 9.

I honestly couldn't stand playing it. 

Podquisition Episode 83: Link's Jizz Enema Murderboner

Laura has the hottest scoops LIVE from E3! Learn how she had to sneak into Ubisoft’s press conference, hear her firsthand impressions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Oh, and she was almost kidnapped.

Elsewhere, we laugh at the usernames of Overwatch’s Reaper players, Link’s amiibo has a jizz problem, and there is no Beyond Good & Evil 2.

The Jimquisition: What Would Link Do?

Because I apparently hate myself, I'm talking about gender-related stuff in videogames. So I'VE got a fun day lined up!

Anyway, Link's not a girl, Zelda isn't playable, and Nintendo's reasons for this situation are total bollocks.

And that's my problem. Not the situation. The bollocks.

Review: Kirby: Planet Robobot

http://www.thejimquisition.com/kirby-planet-robobot-review/

I like Kirby games, if you couldn't tell. 

Special: E3 2016 Jimpressions

Your ol' pal Jim Sterling got together with fellow movie boy Conrad Zimmerman to discuss each E3 press conference of 2016.

Original a five-part video series on YouTube, we've compiled our recordings as one full podcast for your listening delight.

Hear our thoughts on Electronic Arts, Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Sony!

The Jimquisition: It's My E3 And I'll Whine If I Want To

One of the best things about E3 is going on Twitter and ripping the piss out of it. Been doing it for years. It's hilarious.

Some people, however, take umbrage with such chicanery, and demand it be stopped.

Not gonna.

The Bullshit Roundup: Battlefield 1 and Deus Ex Get Microtransactions, Watch Dogs 2 Spams Us With Sp

http://www.thejimquisition.com/the-bullshit-roundup-battlefield-1-and-deus-ex-get-microtransactions-watch-dogs-2-spams-us-with-special-editions/

Something to read to get us in the mood for E3!

Tonight In Overwatch Loot Boxes

http://www.thejimquisition.com/tonight-in-overwatch-loot-boxes/

While I mostly wrote this for laughs, I think it highlights the genuine issue of how much total garbage is hiding in these fee-to-pay boxes. 

Review: Mirror's Edge Catalyst

http://www.thejimquisition.com/mirrors-edge-catalyst-review/

The more I played this one, the less inclined I was toward liking it. 

Podquisition Episode 82: Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre E3

E3 hasn't started yet but the leaks and the outings are in full swing.

We chat about Watch Dogs 2, rumors of The Evil Within 2, and Agents of Mayhem.

Elsewhere, The Sims gets representation and there's more VR bollocks!

Watch Dogs 2 And The Steam Users Who Hate Black People

http://www.thejimquisition.com/watch-dogs-2-and-the-steam-users-who-hate-black-people/

Some racially charged stupidity to start your day. 

The Jimquisition: Pay To Spray - Overwatch And Microtransactions

Overwatch is one of my favorite games of the year, but I cannot in good faith consider awarding it the title of "best" game.

My long-running policy of disqualifying premium games with microtransactions in them is consistently enforced, but it's pissed off a lot of Blizzard fans.

As an attempt to bring understanding to such furious souls, I offer my full problem with Overwatch'...

The Spin-off Doctors: Need For Speed

Aaron Paul ditches meth for misogyny in this ill-advised theatrical adaptation of Need for Speed.

It's basically just a car film but with very few races, too many characters, and some of the stupidest character motivations in cinema.

Also this may be our most meandering episode. The drugs like me.

The Jimquisition: Game Industry Executives Are Fucking Idiots

Battlefield 1 has turned a lot of heads. Its announcement video is the most liked trailer on YouTube. Hell, even I'M interested in it.

Electronic Arts executives, however, didn't want it to happen, which is sadly true of a lot of executives in this industry. People who know nothing, yet are paid to control everything.

They're idiots, and we'll never know what potential future s...

Review: Hard Reset Redux

http://www.thejimquisition.com/hard-reset-redux-review/

Shooting robots is fun! 

Podquisition Episode 81: Shitty Bum Wiggle

Wigglin' this way, wigglin' that, nobody knows which toilet we're at!

Podquisition tackles the news of the day, including No Man's Sky death threats, new console rumors, and the emotional vapidity of games.

Also, Jim set all his clothes on fire, ha ha ha ha.

Metabombed: Overwatch Was ‘The Worst Mistake Of My Life’

http://www.thejimquisition.com/metabombed-overwatch-was-the-worst-mistake-of-my-life/

We return to Metacritic's user review section for some choice musings. 

May 2016 patron supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

The Jimquisition: Overwatch Porn

Overwatch's success is nothing short of remarkable, sparking a fanbase that was zealous long before the game was even released.

This popularity has been manifested in fan art, cosplay, and... porn. Lots of porn.

Porn that indicates a welcome resurgence of personality and artistry in the videogame industry... in its own dirty way.

Special: Dark Souls III Spoilercast

Your ol' pal Jim is joined by Laura and Gavin to discuss Dark Souls III without the spoiler tags applied.

Let's talk bosses, locations, and why a certain king can go eff himself!

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan

http://www.thejimquisition.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-mutants-in-manhattan-review/

Very, very disappointed with how this turned out.

Podquisition Episode 80: A Hobgoblin's Knobhole

The world is not ready for JimGav, the horrific new Podquisition host. It's quite a spectacle.

Overwatch obviously commands much of our time, but we also badmouth that crap new Turtles game, and discuss the latest failings of Oculus.

Oh, and we talk about LOTS OF OTHER THINGS!

The cavalry's here!

The Spin-off Doctors: Double Dragon

What happens when a videogame turns into The Warriors for children? Robert Patrick gets amazing hair is what!

Double Dragon is one of the more curious videogame movies out there, and it's oddly worth watching.

Let's see what the Movie Boys have to say about it!
