While I immensely enjoy Jimquistion, I sometimes find it difficult to accertain the intended point that Jim is trying to get across. Even after rewatching and pausing some episodes of the show in question, I have issues agreeing with or even understanding the message being spoken. The difference between outspoken opinion and fact is sometimes hard to find. I apologize if this content does not meet the standards of this forum, but I would appreciate knowing if my concern is a non-issue or if other informed users of this website share the same grievances?

EDIT: My concerns were mainly regarding the difficult task of discerning Jim's personal opinion from facts he was using to prove a point. After watching a marathon of episodes, I've begun to understand the intricacies of Jim's speech and thus, this post is unnecessary. I apologize for wasting your time.

Could you give an example of one such episode you didn't get? I feel Jim is usually pretty clear in what he's trying to get across. I haven't been able to watch the last few weeks due to lacking a computing machine that can run the Escapist's video player, but if the episode 3 weeks old or so I can help.

Admittedly Jim seems to always assume that his audience is as familiar with his topic as he is. If you did not play games by EA or Ubisoft, for example, you might not get why their DRM is so infuriating and might just think to yourself "why is this fat guy so angry about stuff?". Or if you never paid attention to the backlash Mass Effect 3 got from some people for it's gay characters, you might not get why his gay fanfiction video(seen here http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/5413-Mass-Effect-3-A-Gay-Erotic-Love-Story) was so awesome.
