Confession time guys and girls: I've been pretty terrible at posting blogs announcing the weekly podcasts that come out of The Jacked-up Indie and Mojo (JIM) Show. My only defense is that in the aftermath of E3 I was super busy writing things over on Extra Life as well as working on a few secret projects. However, that is NOT to say that the podcasts haven't been getting up and posted, they just haven't been updated on Game Informer. So, without further ado, here are The JIM Show Season 2 Episodes 7-14!
ALSO, we have our show back on iTunes. HOORAY! We had to open a new page there, so we lost all of our reviews and ratings and what-have-you. If you like us, be sure to head over there and let us know what you think.
Also, because this is supposed to finally get us back on track, we are going to be giving away (that's right GIVING AWAY) three games to the people who comment on this blog. The games given away this week are: Terraria, Mark of the Ninja, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent! Just comment (or maybe give us some iTunes reviews, eh?). Winners will be chosen at random and all game copies will be given away via Steam.

In our E3 wrap-up episode, we talk about our favorite parts of the
show, decry the Xbox One, and chat a bit about The Last of Us.

this track based on the gym battle music found in the Pokémon series.

This week we talk about DJ's trip across America to meet people from
the Game Informer community, question the fun-ness of The Last of Us,
and get a bit goofy. Jack also talks about the surprisingly fun Western
romp, Call of Juarez Gunslinger.
The track which closes out the
main episode is 'Full Speed Ahead' by zircon, from the new OCRemix album Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin.

The JIM Show Season 2 Episode 10
(Please visit the site to view this media)
We kick off episode 10 with a tribute to Ryan Davis of the Giantbomb podcast. The void he left in people's hearts, even those he never met in person, will never be filled. As a retraction, we at the JIM show would like to note that Nintendo changed its mind in the eleventh hour and allowed Super Smash Bros. Melee to be streamed at EVO. Our criticism of their ignorance regarding HD development still stands.

Saturday Morning Replay - Why Are We All Trying To "Out-Nerd" Each Other
DJH - The GIO Half-World Tour
The music which closes out this episode is 'R U Overdrive' by AkumajoBelmont and Braincells. The music you can find on Over Clocked Remix is really phenomenal and pretty much all of the music on there is free to everyone.
The JIM Show Season 2 Episode 11

The JIM Show Season 2 Episode 12
(Please visit the site to view this media)
In this week's episode the gang talks briefly about The Last of Us and Jack finds something to nitpick about Journey. GASP. Really, it is all just a big lead up to our massive belated discussion of BioShock Infinite in all of its spoiler-filled glory.
We also give a huge shout-out to Game informer Online members Saint, Dean aka Born4This, and Ali Rapp for acquiring jobs within the video game industry! Congratulations you magnificent sons (and daughter) of guns!
The exit tune of this episode was taken from 'A Simple Flip Can Change Fate (Coin Song)' by Level 99. You can find more great (FREE) music over on: http://ocremix.org
The JIM Show - The BioShock Infinite Episode
(Please visit the site to view this media)
The title pretty much says it all. Jeremy, Daniel, and Jack have a civil, though highly conflicted, discussion of BioShock Infinite ranging from the amazing music to the sketchier elements of the plot.
The song that ends this particular episode comes from BioShock Infinite's 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken' as performed by A. Habershon and C. Gabriel.
Thank you Irrational Games for one o fthe most enjoyable and thought provoking games in a while.
The JIM Show Season 2 Episode 13
(Please visit the site to view this media)
This week we talk about meetings, greetings, Final Fantasy projects, BioShock Infinite DLC, and discuss Phil Fish's departure from the game industry.
Also, a big congratulations to Game Informer's own Saint for posting his 100th consecutive blog herding! Well done!
Our collective shout out this week goes to Ace13 for her blog titled: Coming Full Circle: An Apocalyptically Beautiful Contradiction
Music this week is from the excellent "Donkey Kong Country 3 'Beneath the Moonlight'" by Fishy, Harmony, some1namedjeff, and Theophany. This hauntingly beautiful track is based off of the Stilt Village theme in Donkey Kong Country 3 and I felt like it really fits with the tone of our episode. As always, you can find more amazing, free musical tracks over on OCRemix.org!
The JIM Show Season 2 Episode 14
(Please visit the site to view this media)
In this week's episode the gang talks about Final Fantasy, Square Enix's woes, and using public restrooms.
