The $70 Price Tag Is Actually Indefensible (The Jimquisition)
Even though it never surprises me, it always disappoints me to see games media pundits fall over themselves to repeat corporate propaganda in defense of corporate garbage.The arrival of the PS5 and Xbox Series X has been used as an excuse to finally raise game prices... after years of using fixed ga...
Demon's Souls - The PS5's Best PS3 Game (Jimpressions)
Demon's Souls is pretty much the sole PS5 exclusive of any circumstance, which is impressive when you remember it's also a PS3 game.From Software's incredibly influential 2009 release is one of my favorites, and I've wanted to see it rebuilt for years. Now it's finally here, with...

ADHD, Content Updates, And General Sterlingness
The ADHD Portion Of The PostSo I don't use the Patreon to write many communicative things, and that's mostly because my brain doesn't work properly and I don't communicate like I should. In fact, I've been meaning to provide an update either in text or audio form for roughly four...
Screw You, I Have A PS5 Now! (The Jimquisition)
After a long and arduous journey, I have acquired a PlayStation 5 home entertainment console and I did it all on my own. It's time we celebrated how better I am than everyone else. Also, I suppose we could talk about the PlayStation 5, right? Talk about what it does, and looks like, and how ridi...

I Didn't Even Put This Week's JimQ On The Bloody Patreon

The Completely Politics-Free Video (The Jimquisition)
I've been told my videos are too political and that I should just stick to games. Usually, I ignore such strange criticisms, but after one of the most grueling weeks in American politics, maybe we should try it. Let's give the totally apolitical what they want, and do an episode of the Jimqu...
Asking Sterling (A Patreodcast) #23
Time to wrap up the latest batch of questions with another Asking Sterling podcast! I hope you enjoy the listening of it with your ears. Also at the very end of recording I found out about the results of the Very Normal Election, which was quite a something.

Cyberpunk 2077 Should Be Delayed For Three Years (The Jimquisition)
The situation in Poland: lgbtqpl.carrd.co Yes, it's time to talk about Cyberpunk 2077 again. The game just got an incredibly short delay, and the threatening response from so-called "fans" has been pathetic and alarming.It's weird that people who claim to love the company and its gam...
The Boglins Are Back In Town (Boglinwatch)
Boglins are back on the menu! Yes, the original line of Boglins are being rebooted as complete puppets, with the eyes and the boxes and everything. The crowdfunding for it has already been huge. The ultimate Bogologist, Jim "Not Quite Saying Boglin Boy For Gender Reasons Anymore" Sterling, b...

Asking Sterling (A Patreodcast) #23
There wasn't an Asking Sterling 22. It was called something else. The lack of consistency is now hurting my head, so this is #23! Here, I answer the first half of patron questions. Another podcast will answer the rest!Once again, I remind you that this isn't a post to ask questions in. They ...
Who Gets The Right To Live Stream Games? (The Jimquisition)
The ancient debate over content creation and copyright has flared up again, this time with a wannabe Stadia director claiming Twitch streamers should pay a fee to broadcast gameplay. It was part of a larger claim that recent DMCA takedowns of Twitch videos are deserved, because apparently it's g...
Amnesia Rebirth - Forgettable Frights (Jimpressions)
Amnesia: Rebirth isn't a bad game, but it doesn't live up to the series for which it's titled. While billed as a direct sequel to The Dark Descent, it feels further removed from that than the indirect chapter, A Machine for Pigs. It's got some nice monster designs, and it's a dec...

Golden Axed: Prototypes & Parasites (The Jimquisition)
Sega has been enjoying its 60th anniversary, and while it's had a celebratory weekend of fun content, the occasion is not without controversy. Specifically, the release of a Golden Axe prototype from the early 2010s has been criticized by former developers. The demo was made with aggressively br...

Asking Sterling Questions Time!
It's been a while, huh? Things here aren't necessarily calming down as we change how the business works to be less reliant on YouTube, continue working on office/studio stuff, and deal with various personal/medical/misc. challenges, but I'm getting used to dealing with it, so I should tr...
Marvel's Anthem (The Jimquisition)
Marvel's Avengers has only been out for a matter of weeks and it's already going the way of Battleborn, or Evolve, or Anthem, or indeed any other failed "live" game. The comparisons to Anthem are most apt - a cynically motivated loot-based "AAA" disaster with an embarrassing ...

The 'CD' Stands For 'Crunching Developers' (The Jimquisition)
We've talked a lot about crunch and other forms of industry abuse this year. We've raked multiple companies over the coals for their unethical and often exploitative behavior. We will keep doing that. What do we do, however, when this nasty behavior is perpetuated by one of the "good"...
Hades - Basically My Game Of The Year (Jimpressions)

Naughty Microsoft Bought Smelly Bethesda (The Jimquisition)
Naughty, cheeky Microsoft has purchased smelly, old, dirty, old Bethesda. Obviously, it's got Bethesda's parent company Zenimax as well. Zenimax is a toilet. There's plenty to talk about here, from Zenimax and Bethesda's history as corporate bullies to the benefits Microsoft will see...
