A Plague Of Pathetic PC Ports (The Jimquisition)
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Last of Us Part 1, Redfall, there are so many games lately that have had terrible PC ports. Why? Is it even a sudden problem, or just the culmination of one that's always been around? Will Redfall ever not be terrible? How much Manta Force stuff does Steph have?
Podquisition 437: Expanded Lore by Jimquisition
Our Gods are many-armed.Games we played this week include: Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (6:50)Redfall (32:30)Breathedge (44:25)Final Fantasy II (50:15)
Redfall: A Draining Experience (Review)
Redfall proves that the "reviewers need to finish the game" argument is a terrible way of defending their darlings from negative critics. Familiarity breeds contempt, and the more I played Redfall, the more I resented it. From a mediocre beginning it only gets worse the longer it drags on, but hey, at least I reviewed it, and you can read more of my thoughts by CLICKING HERE!
Kotaku Was Right To 'RUIN' Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom (The Jimquisition)
Kotaku is under fire from half the Internet for publishing a story on the leaked details for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo blacklisted them ages ago, they owe the company nothing, and what they did wasn't actually bad. Obviously, going to bat for them is going to get me in trouble with the Performative Outrage Gang. I'm just gonna go hide and play with my Manta Force.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review - Cantina Turner
Our latest review is for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Remember when EA was surprised that a story-driven Star Wars game, of all things, sold well? Haha, screw them! Anyway, I think I've got some interesting things to say about a game mostly discussed for its poor PC performance, chiefly the fact that I don't really care for its basic gameplay but I loved messing around in the space pub. You c...
Podquisition 436: Attention Misdirection
Very focused, just not on the right things.Games we played this week include: Redfall (13:00)Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (25:05)Jedi Survivor (29:10)Lollipop Chainsaw (38:25)Final Fantasy (53:25)
The Game Reviewer Who Hates Games (The Jimquisition)
While I've often joked about hating videogames, there are many who claim my feelings are all too sincere, and those claims have increased since I returned to writing game reviews. Of course, I love many games, but here's the rub - the ones I love are the wrong videogames.Inspired by an amusing interaction I had in the wake of my Dead Island 2 review, I got to thinking about what is really ...
Dead Island 2 - Death Note (Review)
Hello! It's time for another written review. Sorry they've not been as frequent lately, life's been a blur of chronic pain and associated exhaustion, plus there's not been many notable releases on the radar. Dead Island 2 is out though, and it's been reviewed, and you can read that review by CLICKING HERE!

The Trashgirl Diaries: Tomussy
Your resident Trashgirls get tongue deep in tomatoes while discussing such Grasshopper classics as Killer7, No More Heroes, and Shadows of the Damned. Also, more obligatory Final Fantasy talk!
Ninterror Tactics (The Jimquisition)
Nintendo clearly believes that a good defense is a vicious offense, and its methods of defending intellectual property lately are certainly offensive.From getting people fired to tossing them in prison to keeping them chained in debt forever, Nintendo's sending a clear message - mess with us, and we ruin your life.
Podquisition 434: Paleo Pranks by Jimquisition
We disbelieve.Games we played this week include: Vampire Survivors (10:00)Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood (12:30)Killer7 (20:00)Gunsuit Guardians (40:20)Wildfrost (42.00)VHS Slaughter (46:25)No More Heroes (51:55)
Eating Artwork (The Jimquisition)
American McGee tried to make a new Alice game, Alice: Asylum. However, despite having his name on the box, Electronic Arts owns the series, and they won't let him make it. Let's talk about licenses, intellectual property, and what I like to call "IP hoarding."
Podquisition 433: A Sticky Spot by Jimquisition
And not from an elastic member.Games we played this week include: Vampire Survivors (26:50)Kenshi (13:25)Road 96: Mile 0 (20:40)It Comes In Waves (28:00)Spiritfall (35:35)Gunsuit Guardians (39:00)Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (50.55)Dredge (53:25)
Yes Resident Evil 4 Remake's Microtransactions Are Bad (The Jimquisition)
Resident Evil 4 Remake just got itself some lovely new microtransactions, even though it launched a few weeks ago. This is bad. People are trying to argue it isn't, but it is. Remember, there are NO good microtransactions. Let's look at what Capcom pulled and explain how this sucks.
Dredge - Thanks For All The Fish (Review)
Dredge is the most compelling horror-themed fishing game (or is it a fishing-themed horror game?) since Killer Bass! I was pretty damn intrigued by this current community darling, though I did have a few criticisms. You can find out all the stuff I thought by CLICKING HERE!

The Death Of E3 Celebration Special (The Jimquisition)
Riiiiidge Racer! It's time for an extreeeeme episode, and you won't need to spend 599 US dollars to watch it! Make sure your body is ready, because it's time to talk about the cancellation of E3 2023 and look back at a show that brought the gaming cringe like no other! Fist bump! The cornflakes are quivering...

The Trashgirl Diaries: The Discomfort Configuration
The Trashgirls return to discuss Resident Evil, shifting cultural perspectives, and the terrible things a Tonberry might do to you at night.
R.I.P. 3DS... And See You, Wii U! (The Jimquisition)
It's the last day of the eShop's functionality on the 3DS and Wii U. With its closure, some truly great games will be lost forever. Bye Bye Boxboy! Join me as we take a look back at one of the best handheld systems in the realm. I mean, it's sad about the Wii U and everything, but the 3DS is really what I wanna talk about!
Boneraiser Minions - Boning Up (Review)
I can't stop thinking about this incredible game. It's stupid, it's brilliant, it's infantile, it's sophisticated, it's a survive 'em up that won me over quicker than even Vampire Survivors did. Boneraiser Minions is my most positive review since I returned to writing, and you can read it by CLICKING HERE!
Podquisition 430: A Champion In Our Midst

An Animated Analysis Of Asset Annexation (The Jimquisition)
Whenever you use premade assets for your work, you run the risk of buying in good faith something that was sold in bad faith. This is what the makers of Bleak Faith: Forsaken found out recently. Today, the new PCW Women's Champion talks about assets, plagiarism, and a little side story involving Limbo of the Lost!
Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse - Deathly Dreary (Review)
Review time! I thought I'd squirt out a review for the recent Fatal Frame remaster before the weekend. I have some, uh, stuff to say about it, and that's putting it lightly. Feel free to read the review by CLICKING HERE!
Podquisition 429: Distance Between Us

Accessibility And Gamer Pride (The Jimquisition)
Accessibility is all the rage these days, and that's a good thing. Well, unless you're a gatekeeping elitist, in which case you're feeling a different kind of rage. Let's have a chat about how accessibility is good for everyone, and why a game like Final Fantasy XVI enforcing "gamer pride" is a little bit silly.
Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe - Mask Off (Review)
I've been a bit ill, so this review is way later than I planned it to be (I wrote the first draft exactly a week ago), but better late than never! You can now read my Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe review by CLICKING HERE!
