Poll: Do you like the Jimquisition?

[Maverick Black]

The show can be good but I find him unnecessary. I don't think he brings anything new to the table, he is just too similar to Yahtzee and Bob and the whole looking at gaming issues is too much like extra credits.

I watch about every 2nd ep (mostly since extra credits left) and they can be good but I just feel that we have reached out quota of opinionated offensive people.

I actually don't mind it. It brings up some good points that video games should do, and I do somewhat enjoy his witty sarcasm.

 

[WayOutThere]

His first episode was atrocious but he's gotten sooo much better since then. He makes good points and his persona, while nothing special, works well for him. I look forward to every new episode.

I enjoy the bits where he's not on screen. As in when he's not acting like a dick on purpose and just making a point.

Acting like a dick, even in satire IMO, is worse than being a dick and not knowing it.

It just grates me everytime he does the whole "Thank God for me." schtick. I know too many people that actually think like that to find it funny.

 

[Rack]

His style might work if he knew what he was talking about in the least, but as it stands it's like listening to an imperious 5 year old.

 

[Knusper]

I didn't hate the first episode as much as many other people but I wasn't exactly fond of it. His later episodes are great, though. He makes good points but also makes his shows funny. I think the best example of this is his video on immaturity in gaming.

 

[T7nowhere]

I enjoy his video's and I hope that he continues to make them for the Escapist. His voice is worth hearing even if you don't agree with him.

 

[gostlyfantom]

I cant help but like him, He has a fucking chainsword. (in all honesty he is pretty talented)

 

[F4LL3N]

I like him. I like how his videos ironically tell the majority of the Escapist users to shut the f up.

 

[rednightmare]

In the beginning, no, but now that he's mostly using his voice with videos and picture to supplement, I'm really starting to like the series.

 

[Pegghead]

I enjoy his show, it's like if Zero Punctuation had a baby with the Game Overthinker.

As for the negative comments, as time went on people grew fonder of him. I didn't start watching until a few episodes in (as I do with most escapist shows, even though there's so many nowadays that it makes my head spin) so I've never seen reason to complain, even when I watched his first few videos after the dust had settled.

The Jimquisition along with the Big Picture are my favourite shows on this site.

 

[johnnnny guitar]

I used to HATE the show with a passion but now i love it If people don't like it they don't have to watch it

 

[Instant K4rma]

Watched the first 3 episodes I think, and had to force myself to finish each one. I just don't like the guy. Sorry.

 

[CheckD3]

I like the points he makes, and since he's been doing interesting topics that aren't talked about, and has such command over the subject, I've enjoyed learning. He may talk about it from a 'high ground,' but when he makes the points, he does so strongly and without hesitation, which I like

But then he ends his episode calling himself the savior and I quickly get left with a bad taste in my mouth. I don't mind when he talks like that during the actual content, but watching someone do that out of context and such ruins it a bit for me. Especially when his topics are about people who's own greed and lack of humility ruin good things.

i didn't at first, but he grew on me.
