Details

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: Modern Esports

Esports may seem like a wild, new phenomenon, but the story of competitive gaming starts in 1972. Sure, they weren't filling arenas or handing out scholarships 50 years ago, but these proto-esports paved the way for the modern industry. From the first women to be called "professional gamers," to the release of Quake in 1996, to the rise and fall of the Overwatch League, strap in for the story of modern esports!

Ep. 182: Two in the Pink, One in the Think

DONATE TO FEED AMERICA HERE: https://teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/teams/PodcastersFightHunger

There's so much pleasure in the simple. The joy that comes from simple, arcade beat 'em up games is unmatched by the AAA gaming experience. Also, the joy that comes from reality TV shows like the Simple Life is unmatched by anything with cultural significance. This week, we're combining two simple things to make one, slightly more complicated thing! Gather all your quarters because this week we're turning beat 'em up games into reality TV shows!

Kyle is focusing on a family dynamic. Matt is focusing on a dating dynamic. Andrew is focusing on a workplace dynamic.

Ep. 181: Holding Space for Big Ed

There's just so much content! Not only is there more content than any one person could ever consume, but the glut of content has also made it difficult for any one property to make a cultural splash. Back in the 2000s, a single TV show or movie could make such a big cultural splash that they would spawn a tie-in video game! It may be hard to believe, but people used like content so much that they wanted more of it! That's why we here at DT!HQ are getting nostalgic and determining "which current TV show deserves a tie-in video game?"

Andrew is redefining the corporate ladder. Matt is taking us to Newark, New Jersey. Todd is forcing us to stare into the trash pile.
