Still rather surprised by how much I dug this one.

Needs more ELO. Needs ALL of the ELO. Where's my damn ELO!?

The Jimquisition: Enjoy The Silence, Feel The Noise

As news of Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate‘s microtransactions spreads, some folk roll their eyes at the usual pundits beating a dead horse and reiterating the same old outrage. This, friends, is how The Silence spreads.

The Silence is what publishers want. They keep their mouths shut and wait for their audience to get bored of the latest scandal. It’s an effective tactic, one that creates...

Special Podcast: The Beginner's Guide Spoilercast

This is a special, spoiler-laden podcast in which your ol' pals Jim Sterling and Laura Kate discuss The Beginner's Guide. We talk about the game's themes, potential meanings, and how it resonated with us.

If you've not played the game, I don't recommend you listen. If you have, please join us and our rambling musings.

Metabombed: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Is "Nothing But Digital Waste"

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/10/metabombed-tony-hawks-pro-skater-5-is-nothing-but-digital-waste/

Another METABOMBED! Been a while, huh? This time, we look at the astounding user reviews for Activision's awful pile of rubbish. 

Review: The Beginner's Guide

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/10/the-beginners-guide-review/

Here, I attempt to review a game by saying nothing about it, in the hopes I say EVERYTHING about it. Pretentious, no? 

Regarding The Recent Patreon Hack

My dear and beloved and sexy patrons,

You may have heard by now, but there was a security breach at Patreon recently. Patreon itself says there's nothing to worry about, that they took immediate action, and that the most you need to worry about is perhaps changing your password as a precaution.

Of co...

Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/10/tony-hawks-pro-skater-5-review/

Oh hey, this game's hilariously terrible. 

Podquisition Episode 45: The Patreon Conspiracy

On this week's episode, we laugh at some rando who has no idea how Patreon works and believes The Jimquisition should be investigated by the government. We also explain to people how shouting on Twitter doesn't work.

Elsewhere, there's talk of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, we look at the ridiculous Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 publicity stunt, and there's a bit more SOMA chat.

September 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

The Jimquisition: Performance Matters

Voice actors are doing what they do best and speaking up, uniting under the #PerformanceMatters group to demand better treatment in the game industry. 

Ideally, the game industry should treat EVERYONE way better than it does, but in this case, it should come as no surprise that I most definitely stand with the voice actors and support them. Performance does matter, ev...

Podquisition Episode 44: David Cameron F*cked A Pig

On this week's show, we cannot resist talking about David Cameron being a naughty boy with a bit of an animal. We also spend some time discussing why you shouldn't do a poo in a bathtub.

Elsewhere, we chat about a game in which you scrub up naked dudes, SOMA gets some deserved love, and we make fun of Jonathan Blow a little bit. Love ya, Jonny!

Digital Homicide And The Case Of The Sockpuppet Developers

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/digital-homicide-and-the-case-of-the-sockpuppet-developers/

Digital Homicide is up to naughty business again! Some digging around has found that it's been uploading games to Steam under a new name. Even better - ...

The Jimquisition: Konami Takes The PES, Armors The Horse, And Needs To F*ck Off

Okay, who DIDN'T expect another Konami episode with the crap it's pulled this past week?

Today, we discuss the company's sleazy PES shenanigans, the ridiculous DLC coming to Metal Gear Solid V, and explain why Konami sodding off out of "AAA" development forever wouldn't be a bad thing.

My your blood quench the throat of the thirsting POG GOD.

Review: SOMA

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/soma-review-beyond-the-sea/

In short, a horror game that's actually important! 

Review: Undertale

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/undertale-review-a-determined-effort/

In short: This game is fantastic and I urge you to try it. 

Podquisition Episode 43: Shigeru Miyamoto's Cloaca

This week, we go into horrific detail as we try to explain how Shigeru Miyamoto is the mother of Bowser Jr. We also talk all about the rage that’s been flying about this week for reasons that totally aren’t our fault.

Elsewhere, we chat a bit about Super Mario Maker, Dropsy, and the Assassin’s Creed “Ripper” DLC that we totally predicted.

Review: Super Mario Maker

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/super-mario-maker-review/

After all the boiled piss following Quiet and the Senran Kagura review, it's nice to get back to some positivity! 

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-review/

Yeah, so I reviewed this one. It's... well... it's from the Onechanbra people. 'Nuff said. 

The Jimquisition: A Quiet Conversation

I've got my umbrella primed for a torrent of boiled piss, as I'm about to suggest Hideo Kojima is less than perfect. How could you argue otherwise, though, when you see Quiet and unveil the "secret reason" for her total ballbag visual design?

So join me as we explain why the whole Quiet thing in Metal Gear Solid V is total bollock-chunder! Afterwards, I plan to drink. Drink to forget.

Review: Dropsy

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/dropsy-review/

This game is... something else. 

Review: Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/hatsune-miku-project-mirai-dx-review/

Not normally my thing... but I actually quite liked it. 

Podquisition Episode 42: Lesbian Space Tits Energy Drink

On this week's show, we mostly complain about angry commenters who are stupid, wrapping it all up in some discussion about Metal Gear Solid V and Mad Max.

Elsewhere, Laura drinks a space lesbian energy drink, a serial killer runs amok in Camden Town, and there's loads of other bollocks that we bang on about.

Review: Castle Crashers Remastered

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/castle-crashers-remastered-review/

Another remastered review for a remastered game! 

Review: Dishonored: Definitive Edition

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/dishonored-definitive-edition-review/

In which I "remaster" my original review of the game from 2012. If publishers keep doing it, I'll do it too! 

The Jimquisition: Content Divided - Death To Pre-Order Culture

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has given us one of the most grotesque pre-order schemes in "AAA" history. Its "Augment Your Pre-order" plan is a blight on the industry, and the worst part is that it's just another development in a long and sad story.

Pre-order culture is the worst. It seeps into everything. It needs to be sucked out.

Review: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain-review/

Here we are at last. At long, long last! 

Did you know this is the first Metal Gear Solid game I've ever reviewed, despite loving the series so much? It's ...

Review: Mad Max

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/mad-max-review/

The subtitle... kind of obvious, right?
