    Poll: When was the last time you got vaccinations?

    Least a decade since that's how long I've been living on my own. Not even sure how one would go about that. If I need a Tetanus shot, I know I can go to my gp, but that hasn't come up since I was a dumbass kid playing in unsafe, rundown buildings. As for the flu shot, I always get told I...

    TV shows that hooked you in from the first episode.

    JoJo's motherflipping Bizarre Adventure! Okay, that's cheating, because I saw the old Stardust Crusaders OVAs before the current show started. Episode 1 of Phantom Blood probably wouldn't have hooked me as quickly. Also, Kamen Rider Fourze. Didn't even need the full episode. As soon as the...

    Ever stop watching something because it became too something?

    Baka to Test season 2 just became "guys do something dumb and all the girls go full tsundere mode and beat them for the rest of the episode." I started hating every character in that show. None of the fun whimsy or sweetness of season 1, no continuing storyline to care about and no more...

    Final Fantasy VIII's Gunblade Gets the Man at Arms Treatment

    Which is baffling, considering pistol swords actually exist. They could've used known, functional designs and given the weapon more variety by implementing the different kinds. But then those games are set in fictional worlds, so maybe that was a design choice.

    Escape to the Movies: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Apes With Machine Guns

    That's my problem as well. I like the underlying idea and theme of the movie (according to Bobs review, that is), but I can't shake the feeling that it gets way too stupid in the third act. Might still go see it and just leave early.

    Fussy Eaters - What are the extreme cases you have heard.

    My brother refuses to eat soup as a category of food and calls it "warm juice" instead. Aside from that, he refuses to eat anything that includes olives, mushrooms or tomatoes. And I mean he will just straight up stop eating a meal he's enjoying if he sees those in there. I'm probably...

    Antagonists You Liked More Than The Protagonist?

    Man, I loved Kaoru Nagisa. That dude wrecks more shit than any of the other 'enemies' in Evangelion and he does it by being nice. The fucking best. Aside from that, the antagonist from Binary Domain whose name I can't remember. For simple, spoilery reasons:

    Most morally incomprehensible character in fiction?

    The main character/squad from Binary Domain. That game's morality is weird to begin with, but the spoilers be crazy pants.

    Do You Like Your Boss?

    Fo' sho'. I have a different boss during the week and on weekends, but I get along well with both. They also really like me, are really nice to me, tell me behind-the-scenes things I shouldn't know and sometimes let me slack off from doing any actual work to just chat with them. Also, the...

    Movie Defense Force: The Mothman Prophecies - Surprisingly and Subtly Creepy

    Loved this movie back in the day. If I may, you say some of the scenes felt meandering and could've been cut due to lack of story relevance. I felt those scenes were there to establish the relative normalcy of the main characters life, so that the movie avoided feeling too much like a...

    Telltales Borderlands Spin-Off.

    I'm not expecting much, but if it means we get a lot more Tiny Tina dialogue, I'm all for it. Maybe even play as her hanging out with Moxxi and Mr. Torque. God, I hope they don't try to make it all serious. Borderlands 2 went too serious for my tastes later on. All melodrama and people shouting...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Dark Syde

    Ah, that was not what I thought it would be. I thought you were doing your David Cage voice (slightly off due to yelling) and the joke was that actual gameplay in videogames just confuses the hell out of him. The "like and subscribe" line does make a lot more sense now.

    Hilarious steam tags

    Favourites I've seen so far are "Beard Growing Simulator," which I first found on Deadly Premonition (and then several others amongst which Alpha Protocol) and the perfect description of E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy:"what the fuck is even going on." That one made my day.

    Movie Defense Force: The Perfect Host

    Seriously, how did this so severely fly under the radar? It came out in 2010, which was back when I still checked theater releases every week and I'd never heard of it either. Wait, mystery solved. According to imdb, it was only released in America. Will go a-hunting for this one. Thanks, Jim.

    Jimquisition: Super Ethical Vlogging Climax

    I believe you're inquiring about Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta. It's on Steam and shit. Jim did a video on it on his YouTube page and I've tried it myself. Didn't get far, because I encountered a game-breaking glitch that was sort of fixed later, but I'd already uninstalled the game by that time.
