I like him. I don't really care about his opinions, but he loves himself so much that it becomes funny.

well i'll pull a movie bob on this
in short: I like it, not for everyone, and the comedy isn't the haha funny style.
in long format: The jimquisition is a show that is trying to be funny by making fun of the vanity of most gamers. The idea that we all have that our game ideas are awesome, and that we know how to fix the latest titles. Now, i'm not saying his opinions are not serious in the fact that he really thinks that would improve a game. However the sarcastic jokes are there to remind us that these are still just the cynical opinions of a satirical host. His style is an internet troll version of what jon stewart does four nights a week. Granted low budget and much in need of polishing

Yeah im starting to get tired of this too. I wish there was some forum rule against basically copy and pasting other peoples threads.TriggerHappyAngel said:
Responding to the UOT(un-original topic, get it?) Im interested in the show but only the times when the gameplay clips are showing. Whenever the camera is on him my enjoyment hits the floor. Its like his whole demeanor changes and now its time for him to cease making interesting points and instead just become mean towards the viewer. I know its all a character but it is a poorly executed one that seems to turn of more people than it does amuse. Its really sad too because I do watch his show every week but i almost want to skip through those unbearable portions
Still not sure.
No issues with him, no remarkable praise for him.
I get his ironic thing and it's amusing but there is only so much of it that comes across as funny before it's just old. His opinions can be interesting as well, there is always certain disagreeable portions but no one agrees 100% to everything, that doesn't make them less interesting to watch.
His only real problem is being held next to The Big Picture, Zero Punctuation and anything LRR does.
Those are some real high bars to jump and he's just been walking under them.

The only new thought i have to add is that if people keep watching he'll probably stick around no matter how many polls/threads there are demonstrating the community's displeasure. So my point is this: If you are serious when you say you don't like jimquisition, don't watch it. at all. If enough people do this, the view counts will hit the toilet and the show will be replaced with something else.
TL;DR I don't like jimquisition, I don't watch it. You don't like Jimquisition? don't watch it. Everyone does this, jimquisition goes away.

The day comedy needs a tutorial is the day we set aside personality, raze our art and culture, pool all global resources into a single quasi-cult-dictatorship and live as a non-sentient slave race.the_green_dragon said:
His joke isn't exactly hard to follow either.
It's also funny because him calling everyone that didn't get it an idiot was probably an extension of that joke, I can't imagine it was serious.
And finally he didn't claim you need to like his humor, the developers wanted a better score.
There is nothing similar in these circumstances.
I completely disagree with you. Alot of people don't get his humor.Feylynn said:
"I can't imagine it was serious." Well I imagine it was.
Umm yeah. Dislike Jim sorry
And since he came along after those two, I'm guessing theres a reason he's currently here and they're not. Will he stay around? Only time will tell. By the looks of it, there was as much love/hate for Lisa as for this guythe_green_dragon said:
I would personally love if those two came back, but even if they don't is Jim taking up valuable space that would be used by something better?Jesus Phish said:
I'm really surprised 150 people say they like Jim. Wow!
