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.

He's alright. I'm not sure exactly why he has a show, but what makes me laugh is seeing the comments for his videos. I can't believe anyone would take half of his egocentric and off-color comments seriously and week after week people are surprised and often infuriated with his remarks. It's all just an act folks. I don't see people getting half as hot and bothered when Yahtzee makes off-color remarks. If you don't like him, don't watch him.
I really like him i have been watching him since he was making the videos for Destructoid they were better back then but the best thing about coming here is that finally i don't have to wait a 2 weeks or 3 for a new video and the reaction from the people is truly priceless, if you don't like it don't watch it + about his humor all that, who does take this guy seriously its like reading his reviews and other things at destructoid i really just go reading his stuff thinking "lol this is going to be good" like he says he is "gamings biggest douchebag" and its just fun listening to his and plus yatzee's reviews are awesome but at the end of them all i really don't know what his conclusion is but hey thats my opinion and my answer to the question is Yes i do like him and its getting really annoying seeing alot of these jimquisition threads
I like it.
Although I think the show would be better if it had more "new ideas" and less explications. Most of the time his point is easy to catch up, so spend more than half of the show in exemples and explications is like a "waste of space" for me.
...and I like the "thank god for me" line, the awesome opening/ending song, the outfit, the background. A little more sound effects (record of people cheering in the background at the end) would be great.
