Time for another Q&A podcast, where I have answered questions from The Jimquisition's lovely patrons. Today we talk Britain, PS2 and PS1 games, and MANY OTHER THINGS!

Who is this Jim Sterling guy anyway? I've never heard of him, I'm just typing this from an alternate reality wherein I have access to a single chat window. Oh well, more's the pity that I'll never know who Jim Sterling is.
I would love to see a TV series set in the Empire of the Isles of Dishonored
<i>"Why can't I just pick up a thing and keep it in my hand?!"</i> - <b>An early Proconsul genus ancestor of Jim Sterling (est. 25 million years ago)</b> When you said "I'll do as many as I can before Justin comes in" at the beginning, the whole tone of the Patreodcast changed. Suddenly the tension was almost unbearable... :p Right, serious point time. Regarding the question you received about adapting games to TV series/comics - being a big literature nerd myself, the thing I tend to miss about film versions of written fiction is the lack of (or poor implementation of) the prose. Narration and visual analogy can work if done right, but in my mind it's almost never the same, not unless it was conceived to be visually implemented to begin with. It might simply be that I've ruined that part of my mind by reading a load of poetry, literary criticism, etc but I was wondering if anyone else reading this misses direct prose from film/games/etc. EDIT: I forgot that I asked about the Medieval remake! :3
The Fucking Pedant here: the Civ games are turn-based, not RTS.
I read "The Fucking Pedant" as a superhero title... :3
Wooo! I started doing these, because it's a hekkin good idea.
there is a Star Fox animated series being put together by one guy on YT called "A Fox in Space" which has a very late-70s kinda Heavy Metal/Bakshi oeuvre.
