The Jimquisition Dot Com Still Currently Down
Dear lovely people,
As you may have noticed, the website remains unavailable currently as it continues to come under attack. While a minor inconvenience at best for yours truly, I understand it may be frustrating to the end users, and I can only apologize for any impact it's having on your browsing habits.
For those who may not have seen "that" review yet, it's fully mirrored thanks to Google Cache and some linkage from the unofficial Jim Sterling Subreddit, and you can read it here:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zi1F5ZE4jvIJ:www.thejimquisition.com/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
Reading a cached version won't harm me in any way, since the site isn't ad-supported and I don't track traffic to my writing. This is something that wasn't learned after the No Man's Sky thing, apparently.
I'm not a technical expert on even a joke level, but thanks to the continued Patreon support I long ago signed up for support from those better skilled. They've been automatically installing things to help out and are continuing to fight things for me.
I'll have a new Spin-off Doctors up very soon on Soundcloud and it'll hit the usual podcast services. Obviously on-site updates have to wait until this is finally dealt with, but as far as content goes, expect only minor delays in getting stuff out there.
Thanks for your patience and continued support.
Jim.

I became a patron because of that DDOS attack. I saw your video l, wanted to read your article, clicked on it and was unable to do so. I has to take extra time out to pull it up on Google cache. I know it sounds like a small thing but, I have never felt so keenly that my rights had been violated. I was temporarily prevented from reading something that I wanted to read and evaluate for my self. May my one dollar a month contribute to that never happening again.
I love your reviews and work, but you've been taking one stressful hit after the other. You take care of yourself and keep on being awesome.
There is definitely a bot involved because it "searches" some ungodly thing before the DDoS pops up. "Searches" my ass! It is clearly trying to multiply my access by some astronomical number before I get to that magical place of nowhere.
I created an account and signed up to pledge to you just on the back of this event. Fight the good fight sir.
Jim, on behalf of all the other sane, rational Legend of Zelda fans who disagree with your review but want nothing to do with the simpering idiot trolls behind this nonsense, I thank god for you.
Same here. We can't have a real discussion when people drown out any actual dissenting opinions with oceans of babyrage salt.
Hey Jim, I was a patron for a while and then had to stop giving to the few Patreon accounts I followed to save money. However because I find the way you are being treated by this big crowd of bullies so abhorrent that I am back on board not just to support the great work that you do. I also do it to say FUCK YOU to those who would try and silence you because their tiny egos can't handle a fucking 7/10 rating for a fucking videogame of all things. Keep up the great work, keep pissing people off and keep speaking your mind. I admire you greatly.
Your review was fair and didn't full out hate on the game. Even though it is one of my now all time favorite games, I deeply respect your opinion and well you still liked the game. I agree with your point as to why they arent just playing the game instead of attacking you. Dirty little wankers.
I love you forever Jim. BOTW was well reasoned, even if I had a far more positive experience. The real problem with this game is constantly pausing to scarf down food.
I <3 this
Keep fighting the good fight Jim. We're with you.
Have you ever considered posting the full text of your reviews here on Patreon for us to read, or do you not want to discourage visits to your site?
There is clearly a DDoS bot involved when you access the Jimquisition website, so it probably would be a wise and fair move to avoid that website until we get the "all clear" notice from Jim.
Luckily, i have no diffliculty accessing thejimquisition.com. Just about thee seconds of cloud flares anti spam protection which seems to be under quite a bit of load.
This is just pathetic! I honestly thought your Breath of the Wild review was one of the most grounded ones I had read.
On behalf of those morons who DDoS'd you, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. All you were doing is giving your honest opinion on a game, and they attacked your website to try to prove a point. Don't let those idiots take you down, and keep doing the good job you're doing. Thank God for you!
Amazing how something this simple can get random internet losers worked up. Their lives must be so small and sad. Keep up the good work Jim. Nothing beats honesty. I don't always agree with you but I love the fact that I know what I'm getting from you is your true opinion.
Well good luck with all that
Somehow I found myself able to completely disagree with your review, while not DDOSing your website. It took much self-restraint on my part but I managed to push through.
We've got your back Jim. Keep it up. Honest people like you are what we need. Hell, you've inspired me to try and become a critic myself. Hopefully they'll be over it in a week or so. But even if they're not I'm glad you won't break or try to appease anybody. I'll definitely keep coming back for that quality reporting.
Oh, NOW I understand why your site is down. I hadn't read your review yet. Yes, how dare you give a Zelda game less than 10/10! 😜😂 what a bunch of whining losers. Same thing every time a reviewer has a different opinion on one of these holy grails.
Christ this is ludicrous. Still think yours is the most level-headed BotW review I've seen, which is also why I continually support your endevours. While I know this will not in any way deter you, I get how annoying it must be to spend so much time defending yourself.
This is so asinine. I hope you aren't under too much stress from this shit.
WE LOVE YOU, JIM.
It's really sad the Zelda fanatics are attacking your website for expressing an honest opinion. It may be a minor inconvenience, but the only reason why they're doing it is because they think it will be a major problem.
Thanks for keeping it up, Jim. You're my favorite critic and have been for years.
The internet, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Fools will be fools, Thank God for you! :)
Loved the video, still surprised as none of these people must have read your piece?
Don't let those pricks get to you lad! Keep up the good work.
dos attacking a website because of a video game review.
Keep fighting the good fight Jim. Your work is valued and appreciated.
