THANK YOU! – Updates, Shirts, JQ Live, 250,000 Subs

Today’s been a milestone in a month of milestones, and I rambled into a microphone to mark the occasion. Site news, merch news, channel news, and all the thank-yous under the sun contained within.

It’s been an incredible year. Thank you for making it happen.

Podquisition Episode 36: Wankcrows & Tree Stump Shagging - With Guest Brian Altano!

Brian Altano from The Comedy Button and IGN joins your regular crew for a fun-stuffed episode of larks and barks. We chat about Onechanbara, platform exclusivity, and all the biting topics of the week.

Once that's out the way, the show devolves into talking about pooping our pants, masturbating in parking lots, and having sex on tree stumps. Because welcome to Po...

The Jimquisition: JIMQUISITION LIVE 2015

At last it's here! The very first live Jimquisition, recorded at SGC 2015! First of many, I hope. Please pardon any A/V problems. Unfortunately that's the quality I got the video file in. It's not too bad though, it's overall very nicely filmed! 

Review: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/onechanbara-z2-chaos-review/

Not being a fan of Bikini Samurai Squad, I expected to dislike this severely. I'm ashamed to admit I did not. I did not hate this at all.

The Jimquisition: The Great Atari Ransack

Atari isn't exactly the most respected name in the industry these days, but apparently it needs to infect everything it touches with its sour reputation. 

The Great Atari Ransack is underway, as the hollow shell of a publisher goes through its back catalog and ruins everything. Desperate, undignified, and thoroughly damaging, Atari's recent release trend deserves to be torn asund...

Review: Rocket League

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/rocket-league-review/

Cannot. Stop. Loving. This. Game. 

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/pixels-defense-review/

Pixels has a shitty mobile game because of course it does. I reviewed it because of course I did.

Podquisition Episode 35: Donald Trump's Spongebob Sex Issue

On what may be our favorite episode yet, the gang talks Spongebob Sex, Donald Trump, and Jim Hiccuping Sterling Son! Did you know Trump cures hiccups? You will now!

We also have a shameful tangent about Batman's kink lifestyle and start assigning sex names to everything. Jimquisition Live is discussed, alongside the announcements of the We Happy Few casting and Jim Sterling's Licensed...

Disqus Comments By Popular Demand

Hey gang! The Jimquisition Dot Com has a Disqus comment system now. I've been hesitant to implement it, but popular demand is popular demand. It's easier to yell and scream at me now! http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/disqus-comments-by-popular-demand/

Review: Journey

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/journey-review-ps4/

Originally written for Destructoid back in the day, this review has been "remastered" for The Jimquisition. 

Hell, if game publishers can do it, so can I! 

Review: Game of Thrones – A Telltale Game Series Episode Five: A Nest Of Vipers

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/game-of-thrones-a-telltale-game-series-episode-five-a-nest-of-vipers-review/

Probably the weakest episode yet, which is a shame. Still, I'm trying out new spoiler tags in this review, so hopefully that ...

Jimquisition Livestream: Grand Theft Auto V

I did this livestream last week but didn't get around to uploading the VOD. So, here it is! 

The Jimquisition: The Mic Trick

We've heard of bullshots, we've heard of "downgrade" controversies. A relatively new form of misleading hype is something I've dubbed "The Mic Trick."

Ubisoft has been slyly performing the trick for the past two E3s, and it's time we talked about it, because I've got this weird feeling that Europe's EA doesn't quite realize we've cottoned onto it yet.

Jimquisition Live!

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/jimquisition-live-is-tonight-you-can-watch-it-at-home-right-here-too/

I am live at SGC tonight with the first ever live Jimquisition! Watch the steam tonight at 7:00pm Texas Time. Details in the lin...

Podquisition Episode 34: Iwata x Pitchford x Pregnant Minions

This week, we have some fond things to say about Satoru Iwata, honoring his passing with sincerity and respect. Then we talk about Randy Pitchford with basically the opposite tone.

Elsewhere, we talk about the terrible GODZILLA game, Gavin becomes the GrundleGav, and Laura eats toad-in-the-hole. Also, pregnant Minions!

Review: Godzilla

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/godzilla-review/

It's effing terrible!

A Look At How Randy Pitchford's #AskRandy Tag Went Horribly Wrong/Right

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/the-askrandy-hashtag-is-as-big-a-trainwreck-as-colonial-marines/

In timing that could only be declared miraculous, Develop decided today to use Twitter to source questions for Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford.&...

The Jimquisition: Aliens: Colonial Marines - Game over, Randy!

Randy Pitchford recently boasted about avoiding a lawsuit regarding Aliens: Colonial Marines. Whether or not Gearbox Software should have been sued for it is irrelevant - Randy has never explained himself nor the lies told, and never said sorry.

In this quick-to-forget industry, Gearbox Software may be sitting pretty comfortably, happy to have wriggled out of trouble for one of gamin...

Review: God of War III Remastered

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/god-of-war-iii-remastered-review/

It's God of War III, but remastered! I did a silly ol' review of it.

The Jimquisition: Please Understand

An off-the-cuff interim episode, something to pay tribute to one of the few honchos in the videogame industry to actually feel like a positive force. Satoru Iwata was all about fun, and opening that fun up to everybody.

His passing is a loss to videogames.

Review: The Executive

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/the-executive-review/

This is a game about being the CEO of a mining company and fighting werewolves. I love it. 

Podquisition Episode 33: Upper Dildo Echelon

On this week’s stinkin’ episode, we give Gavin an entire minute to talk about whatever he likes (The Witcher 3), Laura learns that Knee Deep exists, and we make dark promises to Ubisoft in order to obtain Beyond Good & Evil 2.

Obviously there’s a little bit of a Digital Homicide postmortem (not much, we promise), Sega promises it won’t be a butt anymore, and No ...

Review: TAKEN

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/taken-review/

One of the dodgiest games I've ever reviewed, I was compelled to write about this one after completing it in under six minutes and subsequently finding out how questionable its funding is. 

Review: Knee Deep, Act One: Wonderland

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/knee-deep-act-one-wonderland-review/

A weird new adventure game. I like it, but really found myself longing for some great ideas to be seized upon. 

The Jimquisition: The Witcher 3 x Splatoon - Real Games-As-A-Service

If you've followed this industry's buzzword-infused gibberish for a while, you'll like have heard of the term, "Games-as-a-service." It's about turning games from one-time purchases into ongoing experiences, usually with an injection of microtransactions or DLC.

It's also totally dishonest, justifying all manner of shoddy business practices, broken launches, and con jobs.

...

Review: Samurai Warriors 3 Chronicles

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/samurai-warriors-chronicles-3-review/

As a Warriors fan, I wish the portable versions would just be real Warriors games. I'd have adored a purer form of Samurai Warriors 4 on my 3DS. 

This is cold comfort.

Special Podcast: Jim Sterling And Digital Homicide Hash It Out

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/special-podcast-jim-sterling-and-digital-homicide-hash-it-out/

The immovable force meets the store-bought object, as Jim Sterling and Digital Homicide face off. The studio, having finally had enough of my ...

Podquisition Episode 30: Mysterio Dick Paint

This week we talk about Unity Engine by likening it to the hot new craft product Mysterio Dick Paint. So that happened.

Elsewhere, we chat about Kobra Team's latest stupid shenanigans, we follow up on Arkham Knight's little troubles, Gavin gets a word in edgeways and Laura played a game about taking loads of poops.

So, another educational episode.
