FLAVOR TEXT: Bomberman

in , , , ,

An artificial life form created to perform menial labor one day becomes sentient and embarks on a journey to free themselves from their oppression. To do so, they must do the impossible: Escape to the surface world and become human. Only then will they be completely free. You may think to yourself: Why are we talking about the plot to 2018's Detroit: Become Human? And our response to you would be, oh no this isn't Quantic Dream's cinematic masterpiece...this is Bomberman, baby!

Episode 78: We Live In A Shorts-ciety

in , , , ,

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.

So we had no other choice than to pitch a series of titles diving in on extremely problematic premises like cryptocurrency, fast fashion, and the gig economy!

Interested in the new MCU content but can't wade through the sea of seemingly endless titles and spinoffs? Well fear no more dear listener, the crew at Debate This! is here for you with a weekly recap podcast breaking down every character and mysterious Easter eggs. Check out The Ploose Is Loose! on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcatcher apps.

Like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, the mysterious Shut Up Todd Pet Store has once again opened up its doors to showcase the wondrous marvels inside. But instead of floaty soda, it's full of giant mammoths and rock dragons just itching to do a murder. And now YOU can adopt one of these Monster Hunter monsters as your very own! And you should act now because this store is not going to stay standing for much longer.

He's dangerous, he's angry, he's on fire, and he has a skull face covered in the literal fires of Christian Hell. That's right kids, it's time we (finally) break down everyone's favorite #edgelord, Ghost Rider! Fun fact: You may know the Spirit of Vengeance as Jonny Blaze (i.e. Nic Cage in the movie) or Robbie Reyes from Agents of SHIELD. Well, there have actually been 22 documented Ghost Riders throughout Marvel's run of the character, making Ghost Rider one of the oldest and most prevalent figures in the entire Marvel universe!
