Podquistition Episode 56: Konami The Liar

This week, we obviously talk about Kojima being barred from attending The Game Awards, because Konami is full of lies and dirty behavior.

There's also some fine chat about Final Fantasy VII, even if two thirds of the cast are objectively wrong about it. In other news, Half-Life is ol...

The Jimquisition: The Multiplayer-Only Problem

This generation has seen a number of big-budget games go multiplayer-only. This isn't a problem in theory, but the practice has left more than a little to be desired.

With Titanfall, Evolve, Star Wars Battlefront and Rainbow Six Siege all dumping campaigns, The Jimquisition looks at why this ...

Podquisition Episode 55: Miley Cyrus' Twerk Stick

The one and only Super Bunnyhop joins us this week to help design a new game for Miley Cyrus. We’re thinking of calling it Twerkin’ Hard Or Hardly Twerkin’, and it will make literally one hundred dollars!

Elsewhere, we chat about Fallout 4‘s problems, the nature of game criti...

The Jimquisition: An Xtreme Outrage

Making money from the easily outraged may appear cynical and exploitative, but it actually isn't.

With a convenient boogeyman, the right rhetoric, and a little bit of good ol' fashioned demagoguery, you'll be stacking cheddar courtesy of those who'll take any validation tossed their way.

Podquisition 54: Kate Bush's Secret Island

Edit: Okay, all problems with this upload should be fixed now. Stupid Soundcloud!

Happy Thanksgiving if you're into turkey n' stuff! We keep the holiday stuff light, instead focusing on all the murders that happen in soap operas, as well as the secret island of Kate Bush.

We're reall...

The Jimquisition: The Blacklist

The hot topic of the past week has been blacklisting, and it should come as no shock that your ol' pal Jim Sterling has more than a few words to say on the matter.

Can companies be justified when they refuse to talk to a press outlet? Are press outlets justified to go public with these refusa...

The Jimquisition: The YouTube Fair Use Protection Program

It's a rather special edition of The Jimquisition today, as I get to be part of the unveiling of YouTube's Copyright Protection Program. It's a new plan that will see YouTube stepping up its game and financially backing content creators who find their videos unfairly targeted by spurious copyright t...

Podquisition 53: LINKLE!

CONTENT WARNING: This show contains woolly liberal politics. If you are offended by progressive politics, please be advised!

On this show, we get a bit too dark and political for a bit, before discussing the most crucial matter of the day -LINKLE! She’s like Link, but better, because she’s...

The Jimquisition: Modern Warfare 3

In recent years, communities like Reddit and NeoGAF have largely come to enjoy - or at least tolerate - the work of yours truly. This has been wonderful to see, that change in perception. I'm proud of it. Wasn't always that way, however.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 remains the most controv...

The Jimquisition: Dynasty Warriors Defense Force

It is Jimdependence Day, the one-year anniversary of The Jimquisition going solo and becoming an indie endeavor. To celebrate, here's a whole extra episode!

This is a special subject for me. When I last did a Jimquisition about Dynasty Warriors, it was scheduled to be the final video I did fo...

Podquisition 52: Round The Twist

It's Jimdependence Day! To celebrate a full year of The Jimquisition going independent, you've got a full extra episode of Podquisition to enjoy.

It's got sexual tension with CPR dummies, it's got stories, it's got singing, it's got references to old 90s kids shows! It's everything you want an...

Podquisition Episode 51: Something Something Fallout 4

Can you guess what most of this episode is about? To be honest, if you are sick of hearing about Fallout 4, you might want to just skip this one. It's most of the episode.

We do find time to talk about Rise of the Tomb Raider as well though. Huh? You like that? Yeah? It's good!

The Jimquisition: Fallout 4's S.P.E.C.I.A.L Relationships

Fallout 4 does something very S.P.E.C.I.A.L with its relationships. It's not every day a "AAA" videogame gets something right, much less something that so personally resonates with your ol' pal Jim Sterling.

So, let's talk about the companion system of Fallout 4, and the thing it allows that ...
