On this week's episode, we naturally spend some time talking about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Don't worry, there are no spoilers!
We also chat about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's amazingly terrible pre-order scheme, and there's an impromptu debate about Mas...

With the recent kerfuffle over Metal Gear Solid V being reviewed at "boot camps," it's a good opportunity to talk about review events overall, and why they're total bollocks.
General rule of thumb should be - if a publisher is making you go out of your way to review their game, they sh...

Last episode was a last-minute schedule change, and while we could postpone the originally planned one until Monday, why wait? Have an extra Jimquisition this week - another of our classic Steam Stories.
This particular tale talks of Brutal Force, a game that could have remained off th...

Konami gets yet another well-deserved thrashing as we talk about review "boot camps" for Metal Gear Solid V and the looming threat of microtransactions in Hideo Kojima's latest. Only Konami could turn MGSV into yet another conversation about how awful it is.

With the imminent launch of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a fresh outrage has spawned over its inclusion of microtransactions. I love outrages about microtransactions, so much so that I coined the phrase "Fee To Pay" years ago.
Here we are again - the practice of "Fee To Pay" i...

On a very shiny and chrome Jimquisition, your old pal Jim Sterling looks at the games most commonly referred to as Walking Simulators. It's a term meant insultingly, and it can be rather unfairly applied.
Sometimes, however, the application IS pertinent.
Here's how to...

Recent allegations paint Konami as a terrible place to live. After contacting some sources, I found out that the allegations were simultaneously sensationalized AND somehow better than the real situation. It's uh... quite a place.

On this week's cavalcade of misery, we focus a lot on Konami being a terrible place to work and a terrible company in general. We also try to work out what its Castlevania pachinko machine means by the term "erotic violence."
Elsewhere, we do all sorts of grown-up talk about Mafia III, ...
