He addresses a lot of the same things that Extra Credits do and some things that Yahtzee does, I'll say that about him, but I love his cocky attitude, it's made me laugh a couple of times.
He's not supposed to be taken so seriously, and he's kinda spelled it out for you people in the newest episode. People here kinda have a stick up their ass like everyone who says something relevant is gonna be dignified or not be a character.
He's gradually getting better, and I've gladly added him to the list of shows that I regularly watched on The Escapist.

I like his stuff, not nearly as good as some of the episodes I've seen on Youtube but good. I don't see what people have against him.
In general, yes. He makes some good points and I often find myself agreeing with him, and that's really all that matters.
I feel he should be more of a writer than a host. I mean he brings good points but his persona aggravates me.
Yes. I'll admit, his episodes on the Escapist have been under par for what he did for the original series on Destructoid. However, his last two have been quite good compared to his first batch and he's starting to realize that he won't be able to last forever if he keeps throwing out the "I can say whatever I want and not get fired!" card at every turn.
We have production standards. We have quality standards. We don't have content standards; you can make a joke about a monkey's bottom as long as it's funny, recorded with professional equipment and well delivered. Sadly, Jimquisition (no 'the' I believe) fails on these counts.
Is there a meh answer? How come people always this out. I like Jim when he is not in front the camera. When is narrating or has those short little random segments its okay. I don't like the whole V for Vendetta thing he has going on in the beginning though.
Not really my taste. I liked the Call of Duty episode and the Too Cool to be Cool Episodes that recently came out. But I don't know if I would say "liked" so much as I didn't dislike them. The only thing I found funny was the final part about Rosa Parks where he actually manages to make the joke funnier by explaining the joke with another joke that does a callback to the original joke. But that type of humor doesn't see its way into his show often. More often than not, he is just obnoxiously making points that are made every day on these very forums without bringing anything new to the table.
I normally don't watch the show but if the right topic gets shown as a teaser as to what the episode is about, I will watch any show on the escapist including Jim's.

Constructively, I believe his show is good, not the best here, but people give him a very hard time. I noticed people said that he was vulger and it was unnecessary. Well, so is Yahtzee and no one bitches about that, now do they?
He does need to work on his show though. Maybe a desk instead of a podium would help come off to the viewers or mayhap a different approach altogether.
I believe the dude deserves a chance to better his show even a little. If he doesn't then his show can sink like all of the other NOT-ZERO PUNCTUAION and NOT-EXTRA PUNCTUATION shows here.

I didn't until i realized his persona was a massive joke ("I've never f***** a pair of plyers" i think was the exact moment...)
His vulgarity is a bit much, but honestly Yahtzee is more vulgar than he is (partly because he can fit more words into the show, but still
) and i still enjoy his work. Is Jimquisition the best show on here?
F*** no. But it's still enjoyable, particularly his latest episode (too cool to be cool) and he does often bring up rather interesting insights.

Yes, Jim Sterling is awesome, he isn't afraid to speak his mind, brings up many good points, and is very funny.
I find it odd that people whining about "production value" are impressed by Windows Movie Maker and some stick figure drawings. I'm also shocked that people whine about his voice but haven't mentioned the narrator of Extra Credits. Nails on a chalkboard is putting it mildly.
That said, I'll take Zero Punctuation, Unskippable (though they are hit and miss), and Big Picture over it. It's only five minutes of my life after all: nothing to get pissed about.
