Debate This!

4 Creators

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. 91: Cocaine and Plastic Baby!

Debate This!

12/21/21 • 58 min

Happy Winter Season of Non-Denominational Holiday Celebration to all of you who celebrate non-denominationaly! Happy Tuesday to those of you who don't! It's time for our final debate of the year and our annual shitty peripheral gift exchange! For those who joined our DT! Family in 2021, every year we find the wildest add-ons in vidja game history to wrap up and force on our friends in the name of capitalism.

Grab a seat in the celebration circle and take in the infrared madness as Andrew introduces us to Nintendo's theremin. Kyle brought our new favorite television consumption device to the party this year and none of us can get enough. Also, Todd is here to add some nerd flair to your embroidered ugly sweaters.

Ep. 106: Tucker Carlson Comes From the Mouth

Debate This!

08/23/22 • 58 min

WARNING: Hey, it's me again, telling you for now a third time this season that if this is your first time listening to Debate This!, maybe pick a different one! This episode is a bit. It is a joke. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, on our Earth or on 616 is purely coincidental.

Join Yucker Carlson as he brings together a group of "influencers" from the across the multiverse to have an intellectual discussion. Today we are here to decide what is truth and what is fiction as we debate the most plausible conspiracy theories within the MCU.

The title of this week's episode was NOT selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community because we didn't want to spoil the bit! BUT if you want to help us choose the next one, join our discord and/or get some bonus content, become part of #ButtThwompNation at patreon.com/debatethiscast

Do you like it when we talk about comics? Do you like it when we say comic words into your lil ears? Would you like more content that includes us saying comic words into your lil ears? If you begrudgingly answered yes to any of those questions, check out our sister show, Avenge This! (formally known as The Ploose is Loose) where ever you get your podcasts!

Properties we talked about this week: Just every Marvel movie to come out since 2008. SEO also dictates that I write also write Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones, and Jordan B. Peterson here, but I'm not happy about it.

Debate This!

04/04/23 • 47 min

On the day of our non-denominational Lord, April 1st, 2023, 3 nerds were given a platform. 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. This is that podcast.

Matt hosted a one-on-one debate between Todd and Andrew to determine which classic GameCube game should be remastered in 2023. The answer involved more primates than you could possibly imagine.

FLAVOR TEXT: Completing Video Games

Debate This!

09/27/22 • 114 min

Picture this. You've dedicated hundreds of your limited hours of existence exclusively to The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild. You've cleaned out every one of the 120 shrines, you've maxed out your health and stamina, and you've found the most rare and powerful weapons. Moreover, you've explored every inch of the map and have literally overturned each and every stone in order to find all 900 Korok seeds--most of which didn't even provide material gain. But, you did it. You have done all of the things and have seen all the stuff. As you nab that 900th Korok seed, you breath a sigh of relief, saying quietly to yourself: "It's over."

Triumphantly, you rush to the NPC character who originally set you off on this quest, wondering to yourself what kind of reward could possibly be in store? Maybe some super cool armor or overpowered weapon? Maybe an extra shrine or dungeon or something? You eagerly wait for the Korok's fun and silly dance to conclude, soberly aware this will be the last time you may ever see this dance because you are definitely never going to do this again. The Korok leader tells you "here is your reward", and you get the new item prompt--only to show that you've just been handed a golden piece of poop. That's right. You combed the vast expanse of the Hyrule wastes in order to find all these dang Korok seeds just to receive a big ol' turd. You shrug a bit and ask yourself, "OK, what's next?"

What makes people compulsively explore every corner and check every box in a video game? Why do we always feel like we -have- to get all the achievements and get all the collectables to see the TRUE ending? Today, we explore that innate desire to 100% video games.

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express time y'all! Gear up for our month-long, Halloween-themed content adventure as we bored the train for a mythical mall in Colorado.

Ep. 104: Skimming the Slime Out of the Bottom

Debate This!

07/19/22 • 52 min

"Oh boy, here come those dang investors again. They just won't STOP asking us to pitch them new mashups of old videogames. And it's like their asks are getting more and more hacky and uninspired each time...like, this week they just screamed 'Make NPCs a protagonist!' and then sat there, nearly frozen in place." is what we wrote in our shownotes on May 4th of 2021. Well here we are fourteen months later and hot dog we're going again! This time we ask literally the exact same question as last time, "What NPC deserves to be the protagonist in their own game?

Kyle reflects on his Barista-Era and brings an old friend from Animal Crossing to the table. Matt picked one bit this week and boy does he lean into it. Andrew takes us all on a weird, horny adventure and, you guessed it, everyone disliked that.

Ep. 93: The Interdogmensional Tournament of Champions

Debate This!

02/01/22 • 57 min

What is February 1st if not the afternoon of Thanksgiving persevering, am I right? If you couldn't follow the thread on that incredibly niche joke, today we're hosting a dog show! Spend your Tuesday the way suburban families spend their post-Macy's parade afternoon as Debate This! asks, who is the goodest boi in gaming? Take a nostalgic trip back in time as Matt brings up video games' first bully. Andrew brings a back-flipping dog who kills gods to the party. To answer your question, yes he's talking about Final Fantasy. Also, the sentience of Kyle's dog makes us all a little uncomfortable.

Ep. 101: Mr. Mime Lays Eggs

Debate This!

06/07/22 • 51 min

It's been a few years since the last time we remixed Pokémon gyms, but a particular question from our 100th episode put us back in that mind space. Turns out most of us also have deep trauma related to our own experiences with college internships. Who knew? So this week, we're examining the horrific truths of Pokémon's one-note minibosses by asking, "Which gym leader would host the worst college internship?"

Matt explains the internship experience that at least 50% of interns have. Todd proves to us why a Communications degree is worth it. Oh, and Kyle gets sticky. Like, really sticky.

Recommended reading: We haven't talked about Pokémon gyms since Season 1 of DT!. Here's that throwback if you'd like to check it out: https://bit.ly/3ayoZIT

Ep. 136: Dice Wars: Revenge of the Six

Debate This!

01/09/24 • 64 min

It's season premiere episode time, nerds! And, as this is the premiere of Season 7, we've decided to leave everything related to the number 6 in the past. That might not seem like much, but it means that we're throwing away all the 6-sided dice in the world. You read that correctly, all the d6s are going away forever and we here at DT!HQ are in charge of replacing them. Join us as we kick off DT! Season 7 and decide "Which dice is the best dice?"

Kyle makes a shockingly weak pitch for the d10. Todd makes a shockingly strong pitch for the d4. Matt makes a shocking pitch. Who will stand victorious amongst the battlefields of the Dice Wars?
