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-Lifeis old,The Old Huntersis new, and Gavin likesJust Cause 3.

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 is a problem, and why it shouldn't be. Also, you better goddamn believe we've got some #FucKonami news this week! (End music: "Megalovania...

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 itTwerkin’ Hard Or Hardly Twerkin’, and it will make literally one hundred dollars!Elsewhere, we chat aboutFallout 4‘s problems, the nature of game criticism when dealing with huge open-world experiences, and express bewilderment at people who are SO MAD atUndertale.Also, some more talk aboutXenoblade Chronicles X, andRa...

Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X

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. And the best part is how it isn't cynical. Not at all!
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 really sorry about the Kate Bush thing.Elsewhere, we talk about more Fallout 4, Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, and give you a tasty preview of Xenoblade Chronicles...
CreepyPissta: Super Mario Drybones
http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/11/creepypissta-super-mario-drybones/ I've wanted to write parody creepypasta for quite some time. Here's hoping y'all enjoy it.... IF YOU'RE NOT TOO SCARED!
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 refusals? What gives blacklists power, and how to do we limit that power? Let's find some quasi-adequate answers to these questions!
Metabombed: Star Wars Battlefront Is A "Festering Heap Of Garbage"

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 takedowns. As a long-term target of said takedowns, it's particularly pleasing to be part of the rollout, and to reveal how one underha...
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 called Linkle.Also, there’s more obligatoryFallout 4chat, we talk about the frustrating nature ofStar Wars Battlefront, and loads more bollocks besides!
Review: Star Wars Battlefront

Review: Game of Thrones Episode Six: The Ice Dragon
http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/11/game-of-thrones-a-telltale-game-series-episode-six-the-ice-dragon-review/ Bit of a letdown, as far as finales go.
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 controversial review I've ever written, igniting a hellfire of outrage among those two communities, as well as other places - including Destructoid, wh...
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 for The Escapist - except I'd become inexplicably popular after a terrible debut, and therefore it signified the beginning of a whole new chapter. Anyw...
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 and more.We dedicate the episode entirely to questions from YOU, the listener, and boy did it lead to one heck of a fun show.

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!
Review: Rise of the Tomb Raider

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 makes it one of the more surprisingly progressive things a big-budget mainstream game's ever done.
