EA And Battlefront II Really Fucked This Up (The Jimquisition)
Star Wars Battlefront II was a bit of a misstep, huh?EA is licking its wounds after the massive loot box backlash, but there's little time to heal.They got too greedy to fast, and now legislators are interested in games... and gambling.

The Year Of The Loot Box (The Jimquisition)
This is the year loot boxes came to gaming in a big way.Encouraged by Overwatch, "AAA" publishers went all-in on destroying their games in the name of easy money.And no, Blizzard, you're not special. You deserve as much blame as EA, Activision, Ubisoft, 2K Games, WB, and Microsoft.In fact, j'accuse!

Commentocracy Finale NEXT Week
Hi gang,Just a note to say we're pushing Commentocracy again this week, due to needing more time to get other projects cleared off. This'll be the finale before we bring Duke Amiel du H'ardcore back for another series. Probably for the best anyway, since a weekly show proved to be a bit overkill for such a character, and the next run is something we'll space out a lot more efficiently anyway. Thank you and thanks so much for the c...

Commentocracy Postponed This Week
Dear Patrons,Due to the huge release schedule for games and Jimquisition-related filming commitments, we're postponing Amiel du H'ardcore's Commentocracy this week. He should be back to smarming it up next week. After "season one" is done, we've decided to not run Commentocracy weekly in future. I believe we may have gone a bit overkill and the show would have benefitted from a less rigid, less regular schedule. Thanks and...
