    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    You do know Valve didn't just make money from indie devs, yes? AAA releases, holiday sales, the very fact that Steam was available on the PS3...the Humble Indie Bundle? Sure, it wasn't nearly as effective as simply opening the floodgates as they did with Greenlight, but to say Steam did not do...

    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    In all fairness, Jim didn't say to make Steam a closed platform. Steam did just fine before Early Access and Green Light were even a thing. In fact, there really isn't much mention of Steam in the video this go around, even though he did elude towards his previous statements in regards to the...

    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    In all seriousness, this IS informative to me. I'm looking to be a game dev myself, and I've been doing my best to take cues from Jim Sterling, Ben Croshaw and the likes to help me create something that doesn't fall into the category of "generic" whilst staying away from the artsy "you can only...

    Jimquisition: To Play The Villain

    Because it was gay furry porn.

    Jimquisition: Creative Freedom, Strings Attached

    I do believe your words spoke louder than your tone, sir. In fact, in a lot of your videos you do often sound a bit angry (if you'll excuse the amateur criticism here). This video, however, your tone was more lucid and calm. It really helped convey a neutral and (dare I say it at risk of...

    Jimquisition: I'm Going To Murder Your Children

    As far as your first point... Took a bit of searching to find this, but from what I gather Fez won the award in March of 2012, a month at the very most before it was released, though it did win other minor rewards in '08 and '11. From where I sit, if Fez's first functioning prototype was that...

    Jimquisition: I'm Going To Murder Your Children

    To be fair, Phil Fish was taking the harassment long BEFORE Fez was actually released. While I agree with you his actions after Fez's release were both colorful and lacking of taste, I also understand his need to vent five years worth of frustration. And at the risk of repeating myself, he...

    Shadow Warrior Preview - All the Wang You Can Handle

    I remember playing the original game way back when, and if all goes well I'd love to give this reboot a try. Mid 90's Shadow Warrior did a lot of things to challenge game play for that era and I can only hope this more modern version will keep that spirit alive!

    Is it taboo to cosplay as a character clearly from another race than yourself?

    When I first wanted to do cosplay, I always kept thinking to myself that the only person I could ever pull off with my complexion was The Prince of Persia. That was circa '05 and since then I've seen a wide array of characters being portrayed by various people of differing backgrounds and what...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Straw Beast

    With Jim's sense of humor I actually half expected him to turn around wearing a Hello Kitty mask!

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    I would like to take this opportunity to admit wholeheartedly that I am an asshole. You've been saying it in a lot of your videos and I just didn't get the joke until now. This is me placing my humility on display... Now that that's over with, on to address the meat and potatoes of what...
