You guys remeber the blind man beating Abes Exodus by just listening to the Sound Cues? Awesome achievement

Ok I'm normally someone who doesn't comment and just listens to this this show but this talk on Gone Home has compelled me to comment. Roger Ebert would laugh Gone Home out the the room. Hopefully I can explain why. In 1992 there was a Canadian Documentary film called  Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives which explored the impact of Lesbian fiction upon the LGBT community, the film opened with a spoof parody short about two lesbians running away to be together very much like Gone Home the short was mocking how cliche this story trope had become in 1992. Gone Home's story could almost have been ripped from a Lesbian pulp fiction story of the 1980s. So to Praise Gone Home as some masterful video games story is to say the best games can do is the level of a 1980s trashy (Pulp) Lesbian novel. If you then disregard the story the gameplay of game home has little to no progression or learning, it's a quite simple hidden object game where you take Object A to B and progress

Continuing from my last comment. The Gameplay of Gone Home has little to no progression or learning, it's very simplistic like a hidden object game. So were saying the game Roger Ebert would praise has the story of a trashy 1980 Lesbian erotica book and the gameplay of a Dollar store budget game. Want to see a really well done Lesbian character in games ? Look up Rosa Rodriguez in Defiance the MMO, she's a damn well done character and avoids almost all cliches. In film terms Gone Home is the video game equivalent of the film Kaboom, the only reason it gets praise seemingly is OMG Diversity without actually looking further into the game and analysing it.

Quick comment, the thing on the front of the Fornax magazine in Mass Effect is a Hanar... not an Asari. No idea how you got that idea there.

You skipped CoC and went straight to TiTS? Shame on you Laura! Play Corruption of Champions next.

Superheroes need beautiful asses, especially male superheroes, period.

This week, the gang talks about review scores and why they're okay sometimes. Maybe. A bit. Most people hate The Numbers, and they hate Metacritic too, but The Jimquisition uses them because of Some Reasons. 

There's also some videogame talk, including discussion of a game that has zombies and big breasts in it. So... that's good.

Podquisition Episode 8: The Numbers

On this week's splendid episode, we chat about Resident Evil: The Official Remaster Of The Official Remake, and Saints Row: Gat Out Of Jail Free Card. We also discuss Hotline Miami 2 and Hatred a little bit... again. Also, Laura drinks Bob Marley's USB Cords. 

Podquisition Episode 9: Laura Drinks Bob Marley's USB Cables

On this week's butt-packed episode, the crew talk about how boobs were better in historical times, the ethics of BDSM, and the magical powers that give LGBTQ people an alleged advantage in e-sports. 

We also talk about Darkest Dungeon, Life Is Strange, Dying Light, and Ubisoft doing something not-terrible for once. Yay!

Podquisition Episode 11: BDSM And King Henry VIII Tits

On this week's show, one of us is getting married! Well, conditionally... the proposal isn't out of Early Access yet.

We chat a bit more about Peter Molyneux and "that" interview. We discuss the New 3DS and Nintendo's classically Nintendo moves. We also chat a bit about The Order: 1886, because OH BOY is that a fun topic!

Podquisition Episode 13: Early Access Marriage Proposal

Gavin is away for a week because he's too much of a pop star to play with us, but we still have a delightful show lined up for you. Where else will you hear about robotic arms punching their way through your genitals in a misguided wank plan? 

Nowhere. Nowhere else. 

We also talk about why we're not wetting ourselves over VR, we chat about the educational sex game How Do You Do It?, and we give Five Nights At Freddy's some credit where credit is due. All this and more, only on Podquisition!

Podquisition 15: The Risks of Robotic Masturbation

On this week's perfectly sensible episode, we discuss Iwata doing a massive poo on Nintendo Direct, something that will definitely happen one day. We also talk about how Jim is 100% medically not-quite-dying, and Laura took a selfie with the corpse of a schoolgirl. 

Gavin has finally played Bloodborne, so for all of you who are sick to death of the idea of people enjoying games that you don't like, be warned - Gavin likes Bloodborne. A lot. 

You're gonna have to cope with it. 

Podquisition Episode 19: Iwata Does A Poo Poo

The gang are joined this week by a special guest - Oddworld mastermind Lorne Lanning! We chat about how going indie has helped creativity, confuse Gone Home with Home Alone, and naturally chat about Oddworld and Abe!

We also discuss Mortal Kombat X's shameful DLC, free-to-play psychology, Laura's latest sex game, and Jim Sterling's ownage of Blighttown. Oh, and stick around for the ending, as we have an exclusive clip of Gavin's upcoming song based on Bloodborne!

Forgive the audio quality this week. It's not terrible, but we had to make it a single call due to bringing in Lorne, so connections were a bit spotty. 

Podquisition 21: Home Alone In Oddworld - With Guest Lorne Lanning!

On this week's episode, we still haven't quite worked all of the Konami out of our systems, so we air that for a good, satisfying bit of ranting. We also discuss the thing that broke between this and our last episode - chatting about Steam's reversed mod selling plans. 

Laura also has weird tiny not-ice-cream to review, State of Decay and Broken Age get OPINIONS spoken about them, and we've made the deadly discovery of Monster Energy Unleaded.

Podquisition Episode 23: Konami & Cornetto

On this week's vile excuse for a show, Laura finally gets The Witcher 3 working, but doesn't play it. She also eats horrible dogfood-chocolate stuff, because that's what you're here for. 

In addition, we chat splatcore about Splatoon, regard Digital Homicide's latest meltdown extravaganza, and delight in how being tired apparently makes Gavin really quite talkative! 

Podquisition Episode 27: Dank Cumsock

Laura Kate comes to us LIVE from the E3 2015 press room as we discuss everything that went down during a surprisingly excellent event. Xbox did good, Sony did good, Square Enix... well... Square Enix had a big round headed guy, at least. 

We go through all the pressers, from Bethesda to Nintendo, and talk about the stuff we liked, and maybe didn't like so much. Also, Gavin definitely gets to talk. We even made sure of it. 

Podquisition Episode 30: E3 2015

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 played a game about taking loads of poops. 

So, another educational episode. 

Podquisition Episode 32: Mysterio Dick Paint

Audio home of The Jimquisition, featuring its lovely little podcast, Podquisition - starring Jim Sterling, Laura Kate, and Conrad Zimmerman!
