Podquisition Episode 68: The Origami Killer

This week we "celebrate" the PS4 debut of Heavy Rain, as well as talk about Pokemon and the potential Xbox One upgrade plans.

Elsewhere, there are rumors about Beyond Good & Evil 2 coming to NX, and Slashy Souls is a load of wank.

JASON! JASOOOON!

The Spin-off Doctors: Street Fighter - The Movie

Raul Julia's amazing performance, Vega's fabulous features, the war crimes of Van Damme, and also Kylie Minogue for some reason.

These things and more combine, with some help from DNA MUTAGEN, to make an incredible comedy movie that's just like Rush Hour.

Street Fighter: The Movie is a prequel narrative based entirely around clothes. It's brilliant.

Was I harsh? Maybe.

The Jimquisition: The Depressing Joy Of Garden Warfare

Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 has become one of my favorite games, and that should make me happy. I mean, it does... but it's sort of depressing.

When AAA games come out and give you everything you expect, it's a cause for celebration. That we DO celebrate when things do what they're supposed to is indicative of a problem.

But seriously, I really love that game about flo...

So I basically love this game. 

Pokemon Red Is Blatantly Better Than Pokemon Blue

Speaking some old truths on Pokemon's 20th anniversary. 

The Podquisition 68: Come To Our Tupper Sex

The role of Gavin this week will be played by Loading Ready Run's Graham Stark!

This episode spends some time talking about virtual reality porn, with hot topics such as golden showers, tupper sex parties, and lemon whores all on the menu.

We also discuss Far Cry Primal, Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, and Laura's notorious trials with Undertale livestreaming.

The Jimquisition: Where's The Fair Use?

The Jimquisition joins the throng of YouTube content makers asking a very simple question - where's the fair use?

YouTube has been going into takedown overdrive this year, and there's a palpable fear among video makers as they wonder who's next.

It's gotten beyond ridiculous.

The Jimquisition: Early AAAccess

I swear this is NOT yet another episode about Steam Early Access! It's actually about Street Fighter V, and games of a similar ilk.

It's just a really, really good title for the episode this week, as we talk about "AAA" games released in a deliberately unfurnished state with content promised later down the line.

God damn, is Early AAAccess a great title, thou...

Review: Far Cry Primal

Cave men n' stuff!

Review: Layers of Fear

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/layers-of-fear-review/

People have been all over this one, and I honestly don't get it. It's very mundane unless you've never played a horror game before.

Podquisition Episode 66: The Xbox One Is A Bit Toss

On this week's episode, we obviously have to spend some time making fun of the terrible Street Fighter V launch. We also chat about Quantum Break's PC release, and Hideo Kojima's latest chicanery.

There are a few home truths to be said about the Xbox One, too. Let's put this on the table...

Review: Street Fighter V

Here comes a new challenger! Laura Kate takes the reins for The Jimquisition's first freelance review. 

Metabombed: Street Fighter V Is “An Incomplete Beta Game”

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/metabombed-street-fighter-v-is-an-incomplete-beta-game/

Metacritic user reviews always know how to solve the world's problems. 

The Spin-off Doctors: DOOM

Your doctors cut open the carcass of DOOM, discussing the total lack of demons, The Rock's sudden heel turn, and anachronistic videogame products.

Oh, and don't worry... we spend quite some time talking about THAT little first-person segment. You know the one.

The Jimquisition: Cat Simulator - A Steam Shame Story

It's been a while since we had one of our delightful little Steam Stories, but the makers of Cat Simulator bring us a taught tale of failure and misrepresentation.

Good thing too... it's been a real slow news week!

Review: Firewatch

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/firewatch-review/

Now this... this I liked. 

Podquisition Episode 65: Spunk Out Your Eyeholes

On this week's episode, there's a traumatic experience with an eyelid while "fan" feedback gets to be uniquely offensive.

Elsewhere, we talk about the horrors of the confirmed live-action Sonic the Hedgehog film, Molyneux is mocked again, and The Lost can go screw itself.

Also, thoughts on Firewatch and Unravel!

Review: Unravel

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/unravel-review/

I was quite looking forward to this. 

I'm rather disappointed. 

GameTrailers Was A Victim Of Itself

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/gametrailers-was-a-victim-of-itself/

GameTrailers shut its doors yesterday. It's something many of us expected for a while, though it makes the news no less sad. 

I wrote about why it happened, and the issues I've seen plag...

The Jimquisition: Oh, Someone Fucked A PC Port Up Again

It's 2016. If you can't get a PC version of your game running to a satisfactory degree by now, you're an absolute failure and you should just sod off.

Truly, shit like the recent Tales of Symphonia nonsense has gotten far beyond a joke.

Podquisition Episode 64: Knuckle-Deep In Kanye

On today’s meaty episode, we chat about Baba Yaga rule 34, the merits of Ronan Keating, and the sexual misadventures of Kanye West.

Can you believe we talked about games a lot, too?

American Truck Simulator, Peter Molyneux’s latest bollocks, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Tales of Symphonia‘s terrible PC port, and so much more are all on the docket.

Review: American Truck Simulator

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/02/american-truck-simulator-review-make-america-freight-again/

Get a truckin' load of this. 

The Spin-off Doctors: House of the Dead

"You created it all so you could live forever. Why?"

Your doctors are in the house to dissect House of the Dead, Uwe Boll's classic cinematic dog turd.

Spaniards from Spain, gun continuity, Sega's island raves, and tits within minutes are all on the menu. Alongside some of the crappest zombies ever.

The Jimquisition: Games In Development

Good Old Games is joining the Early Access bandwagon with its Games In Development program. Unlike Early Access, however, GID looks like it won't be total crap.

Let's look at what GOG is doing, and use it as excuse to dump all over Early Access again. Yes, that seems a fine idea!

Also, reactions to things!

Review: Gravity Rush Remastered

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/01/gravity-rush-remastered-review/

One of those cases where a remaster really did make the game better. 

Podquisition Episode 63: Horsecock

This week, we talk about The Witness, obviously, and also spend quite some time trying to describe the monstrosity that is FNaF World. It's... quite something.

Elsewhere, Rise of the Tomb Raider finally made it to PC and Mighty Number 9 is delayed again, go figure. Oh, and what's all this "Horsecock" business about?
