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.

FLAVOR TEXT: Warrior Cats
In the early 2000s, publishers everywhere were looking for their slice of the YA literature pie. Some folks were writing about magical schools, others were writing about dragons, but 9(ish) people were coming together to write something different. That "something different" was called 'Warriors' and it was different because it was about cats. Clean your pelt and feed your kittypets as we head Into The Wild and cover Erin Hunter's Warriors series. There's stray cats, there's evil cats, there's wet cats, there's more cat names than your brain has room for.

Photography is an every-person hobby! Anyone out there can grab a camera, hop in an autonomous vehicle, fill their backpack with apples and smoke bombs, and go take pictures of flora and fauna! Of course, I'm talking about 1999's smash hit, Pokemon Snap. While Pokemon Snap did get a sequel in 2021, there continues to be a staunch lack of photography games available to gamers in 2025. That's why the execs at DT!HQ called us in to pitch some new Snap-Likes. This week we're asking, "What IP would make the best backdrop for a photography game?"

Ep. 166: What If We Added Consequences?
Have you ever heard of the 'Nemesis System?' No? That's not surprising! The 'Nemesis System' is a patented game mechanic that was only included in two games in the mid 2010s. Despite the mechanic only existing for about 50 hours of gameplay, it's impact runs deep. For nearly a decade, gamers have been begging for another Nemesis-ed game to get their grubby little paws on. Well, lucky for those gamers, we're here to pitch the best games to get 'Nemmy." Matt is adding consequences to a game that's never had them. Andrew is adding more cards to a game that already has them. Todd is adding cultural relevance to a game that's never had it. Have you seen out Patreon? Have you seen our Instagram?

Matt is bringing the skulls of his enemies. Kyle is bringing the coolest combination of words you've ever heard. Have you seen out Patreon? Have you seen our Instagram? Have you seen our Threads?

You've got your plucky protagonist. You've got your young girl with amnesia. You've got your mystic histories of colonized peoples. And, most importantly, you've got your kick-ass, 3D robot fights!

FLAVOR TEXT: Destiny
In the distant past of 2014, humanity was forever changed upon the discovery of a big ol' space orb floating above Mars. The big ol' space orb terraformed planets across our solar system and granted us with the Power of LightTM, ushering in a new Golden Age. But, that Golden Age wouldn't last forever. Eventually, the forces of DarknessTM found us and did a near-genocide, and now humanity is on the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the big ol' space orb resurrected a bunch of people and gave them Space Magic to fight back against the Darkness. You are one of those Space Wizards. It is you who will lead the charge against the evils of space and lead humanity back to their long-lost Golden Age. This is your story. This is your DESTINY.

Ep. 162: Money Equals Life Minus Time (LIVE at the RX Gaming Lock-In)
It was a quiet night in Cincinnati, OH when the call went out for a podcast to perform live and spice up the night.

Todd is ready to reintroduce the track ball to modern gaming. Kyle was there with us in spirit, but spirits don't exist in live podcasts.
