Debate This!
If Kirby swallowed a boss from Metal Gear Solid, what absolutely bonkers power would he obtain? Which of the X-Men would be the biggest bummer of a roommate? Is King Bob-Omb’s rule officially recognized by the Mushroom Kingdom or is Bob-Omb Battlefield a sovereign nation? Debate This! asks the kind of bold and heroic questions about your favorite video games and comics that no other podcast would dare ask. Although, it’s probably because other people have better things to do than argue which color of Yoshi is the best color of Yoshi. In this show, no one is right, but someone is definitely wrong.

Ep. 157: Whole Hog for the Holidays
We're in the back half of November and that puts us squarely in "The Holidays." There's family, there's friendship, there's food, there's gifts, and there's the inevitable awkward conversation you'll have introducing your family to your new partner. We here at DT!HQ sympathize with those of you bringing a new relationship home this holiday season. To help acclimate you to this inevitable confrontation, we're putting on our pretend hats and theorizing over potential family dinner nightmare scenarios. So grab a napkin and pass the potatoes because this week we're debating "Who is the worst DC Comics character to bring home for the holidays?" Kyle is really stretching the definition of "manic pixie dream girl" this week. Andrew is going to make you uncomfortable and give your grandma a heart attack this week. Also this week, Matt gives his thoughts on child rearing. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!

Ep. 156: Big Trouble in Little Heistland (ft. Eric Silver)
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November," or whatever that guy in the mask said. On account of today being a relatively important day in world history, we decided to record an episode relatively based on world history! That little poem at the beginning of the paragraph was made famous by Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, a graphic novel based on a historical event. With that in mind, we're on a mission to write our own graphic novels! Specifically, we're looking for the best historical event to put to illustrated print. Matt is getting surprisingly heady with his answer. Andrew is getting surprisingly culty with his answer. And we decided to bring in a guest who actually knows history, so Eric Silver is getting surprisingly heisty with his answer.

Ep. 146: Dictionary Starts with D
Hello Valued Employee, we hope this email finds you well! We're writing today to introduce you to our exciting, new, health-forward initiative. That's right, Valued Employee, we here at DT!HQ are putting the Hell back in Healthcare by gamifying your deductible! All you need to do is download a new app, buy a new tracking device, log every calorie you've ever consumed, and help us decide, "What video game character should lead a new corporate healthcare initiative?" Todd is introducing a new, lovable ring in the shape of old, lovable Kirby. Matt really commits to the bit, but it's not the bit you expect. Kyle comes in hot with school assembly energy, but practices an impressive amount of restraint. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!

"Boogity, boogity, boogity, let's go racin'!" - Phil Keoghan probably. The reality TV division of DT!HQ has tasked us with another reboot of a popular competition show. This time, we've set our sights on one of the big CBS shows. After two decades of watching midwesterners destroy manual vehicles abroad, audiences are ready for something new. That's why today we're deciding which video game world should be the setting for the next season of The Amazing Race! Andrew is doing a Donkey Kong thing. Kyle is doing a Pokémon thing. Todd is doing a mispronunciation thing.

Ep. 144: Cozy Regular Dude Type Folks
The month of May is synonymous with flowers and sunny weather. Birds are chirping, buds are blooming and farming sim fans are hunting for this year's way to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the indoors. Now we're not talking about just farming sims, we're setting our sights on the whole "cozy game" genre. The execs have asked us to head to the field of video games and harvest some new cozy games. Today we're tackling the questions, "What not cozy game should be remade but cozy?" Kyle's pitch is about as radical as a cozy game can be. Andrew's pitch is about as pun-filled as a cozy game can be. Matt's answer is pretty much just Five Nights at Freddy's.

Profits are down! Why are profits down? Who knows, but they're down everywhere! Profits are so down that Big Capitalism has come running to us here at DT!HQ to get profits back up! How are we going to get profits back up? With card battlers of course! Todd gives the people what they want and completes a beloved trilogy. Matt is making the sickest, raddest card battler you've ever seen. If you understand Andrew's answer, hey, this episode is for you. And last but not least, because only Kyle understands card games, we invited our buddy Greg Schulz to keep us on track.

Ep. 142: Put the E Back in Wii Sports (LIVE! at Midwest Gaming Classic)
On the day of our non-denominational Lord, April 7th, 2024, 4 nerds were given a platform for a second time. A platform, not just on the internet, but in a real life place in front of real life people at the Midwestern Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Those 4 nerds dared to ask a dangerous question, "What sport should be added to Wii Sports?" This raucous debate will really have you questioning if you know what a sport is. Andrew is pushing for esports in video games. Kyle is defending an American pastime. Todd is combining two things you didn't know could be combined.

FLAVOR TEXT: Green Lantern
Years before we saw them in successful Marvel movies, we had Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi in a different superhero movie: 2011's cinematic masterpiece Green Lantern. Today's FLAVOR TEXT isn't about that shared misery, but instead is about its source material. Join us as we dive into 80 years of lanterning. From Alan Scott and his convoluted origin, to B'dg the alien squirrel, we're talking about the good, the bad, and the weird that comprise the Green Lantern Corp.

Ep. 141: Do You Think The Danger Room Is Mad At Me?
Hoo boy those new X-Men ['97] sure are competent superheroes and also universally sexy. Pretty much the opposite of that are the 3 of us dweebs standing in the shadows who all somehow also made the cut and got accepted into Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters despite having superpowers or eshewing raw bisexual energy. Matt shows his super-expertise with common household appliances, Andrew illustrates his super-ability to read a room, and Todd slip-slides around via his super-undiagnosed hyperhidrosis.

Ep. 140: Rage Bait 64 (ft. John Warren)
It's Christmas of 1996 and you've just unwrapped the hottest new home gaming console, the Nintendo 64. You're about to be immersed into a game more realistic than your brain can even fathom. Except it's not 1996, it's 2024 and games look more like real life than real life does. Wouldn't it be a wild thought experiment to adapt a game made in 2024 to 1996's N64? Wouldn't it? Fair warning, if you've played a particular game series, Andrew is going to make you furious. Kyle is here to make one 25th of a game. Todd is going to talk a lot about horses. Because none of those things sounded great, we also invited former Fanbyte Head of Media and current cohost of If You’re Driving Close Your Eyes and cofounder of Glydr, John Warren!
