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 p...

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 h...

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. Des...

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 Li...

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...

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...

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 eat...

It's effing terrible!

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, Gearbo...

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 Dig...

Review: TAKEN

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...

Review: Knee Deep, Act One: Wonderland

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 disho...

Review: Samurai Warriors 3 Chronicles

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 pl...
