That show was hard to listen to, The retcheing was too much!

the smell returns in ya poo if you swallow it... its awful

it's not enough to just cut Gav off, ya gotta go on self-effacing tangents afterwards too

Bungie games in general have shitty boss fights except Halo 2. In Pathways into Darkness, we have a decent first boss, an invincible second boss and the final boss chickens out and spawns waves of every killable monster in the game before dying in one pathetic hit. Marathon has no bosses except a retread of PID's final boss with the cyborg Pfhor controller, who dies to one rocket to the face. Marathon 2 and Infinity have no boss fights at all and when they do, ("You Think You're Big Time? You're Gonna Die Big Time" and Aye Mak Sicur from Infinity spring to mind) it's just a shitty, copy-pasted juggernaut tank enemy from a regular level with no changes. Not even actual antagonist characters are fought. Halo has no bosses at all, but the final warthog run makes up for it. Halo 3 has both boss fights and the warthog run, but the only boss is 343 Guilty Spark at the end, who dies in 3 hits with a spartan laser. Halo 4's final boss with the Ur-Didact is just a cutscene with at least one QTE

The Flood actually comes from a scrapped concept from Marathon 2: Durandal where a virus that's mentioned in the final game actually was in the game as a cordyceps weapon you could use that zombified enemies: https://halo.bungie.net/images/Games/Marathon/Gallery/Concept/sketch_014.jpg

Laura: "Mmm? Smells like...chilli BEANS." *Eats a couple of jelly beans and vomits them up again* "It IS chilli beans, stale chilli beans! Covered with Jelly-Belly paint!"

Gavin's bit about British and Irish humour (both halves of the latter island) is right on the money. Just look at Dylan Moran in Black Books or Dara O'Brien in everything he's in, including but not limited to Mock the Week.

On this week's episode, we naturally spend some time talking about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Don't worry, there are no spoilers! 

We also chat about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's amazingly terrible pre-order scheme, and there's an impromptu debate about Mass Effect 3 as Gav and Laura hash it out. It's the controversy that just won't die. 

All that and more, only on Podquisition! 

Podquisition Episode 41: Metal Gear Naked Dad

On this week's show, we mostly complain about angry commenters who are stupid, wrapping it all up in some discussion about Metal Gear Solid V and Mad Max. 

Elsewhere, Laura drinks a space lesbian energy drink, a serial killer runs amok in Camden Town, and there's loads of other bollocks that we bang on about. 

Podquisition Episode 42: Lesbian Space Tits Energy Drink

This week, we go into horrific detail as we try to explain how Shigeru Miyamoto is the mother of Bowser Jr. We also talk all about the rage that's been flying about this week for reasons that totally aren't our fault. 

Elsewhere, we chat a bit about Super Mario Maker, Dropsy, and the Assassin's Creed "Ripper" DLC that we totally predicted. 

Also, Laura drinks and reviews an energizing can of pussy. 

Podquisition Episode 43: Shigeru Miyamoto's Cloaca

On this week's show, we cannot resist talking about David Cameron being a naughty boy with a bit of an animal. We also spend some time discussing why you shouldn't do a poo in a bathtub. 

Elsewhere, we chat about a game in which you scrub up naked dudes, SOMA gets some deserved love, and we make fun of Jonathan Blow a little bit. Love ya, Jonny! 

Podquisition Episode 44: David Cameron F*cked A Pig

On this week's episode, we laugh at some rando who has no idea how Patreon works and believes The Jimquisition should be investigated by the government. We also explain to people how shouting on Twitter doesn't work. 

Elsewhere, there's talk of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, we look at the ridiculous Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 publicity stunt, and there's a bit more SOMA chat. 

Podquisition Episode 45: The Patreon Conspiracy

This week we discuss what would happen if Konami were run by a Willy Wonka type president, and laugh at the idea of them pretending Hideo Kojima hasn't left the building. 

Elsewhere, you get some hands-on impressions of the new Steam Controller, sad talk of Guitar Hero Live's troublesome content system, and Gavin says something about Dark Souls. 

Podquisition Episode 48: Willy Wanker

We all get a detailed lesson on the rich lore of Halo this week as we prepare for a Halo 5 review that MIGHT DEFINITELY HAPPEN MAYBE. 

Oh, and Laura eats vom-flavored jellybeans. Eats them until horrible things happen. Horrible, horrible things. 

Loads of other stuff happens this week, but seriously. Vom jellybeans. 

Podquisition Episode 50: Peach Or Vomit?

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! 

Podquisition Episode 51: Something Something Fallout 4

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-Life is old, The Old Hunters is new, and Gavin likes Just Cause 3. 

Podquisition Episode 56: Konami The Liar

Merry Christmas Eve n' stuff. We have a nice positive show discussing games that we loved in 2015.

There are obvious picks of course - Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, and Splatoon get mentions after a year of podcast talk - but you might hear a few surprises too. 

Gavin's sick, Laura's on mead, it's a fine time all round!

Podquisition Episode 58: Games Wot We Liked In 2015

This week, we talk about David Bowie and That Dragon, Cancer. So yeah... not the most upbeat of weeks, right? This was all recorded before the Alan Rickman news, too. 

Fuck cancer. 

Anyway, we still have a fun show for you. We also chat about Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India and Pony Island, as well as lament injured backs and the latest Rift chicanery. 

Podquisition Episode 61: Bowie

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