Ep. 76: Forged In A Ding Dang Hellfire

in , , ,

The suits at Discovery Ploose were so jealous that we were the only podcast talking about the Disney+ shows that they approached us to record an exclusive videogame-themed episode of History Channel's Forged in Fire. Don't ask them, just trust us. It's totally legit and definitely part of the FiF canon. Definitely.

Speaking of premium streaming services, how about those MCU shows? There's so gosh darned many of them coming out that you'd need to take a part-time job learning all of the through-lines. 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! available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcatcher apps.

Episode 72: A View To A WAAHHH

in , , ,

There comes a time in every video game podcast's life when they are compelled to stop what they are doing and ask "Sure, this game is great. But what's Waluigi up to?" This is that time, and today's episode is the output of that thought experiment.

Consider, dear listener, a sequel to Katamari Damacy starring Waluigi rolling up the Mushroom Kingdom. How about a version of David Cage's Indigo Prophecy where Waluigi is the AI messiah? Or, there's always just straight-up making Waluigi James Bond. I mean, nothing matters anyway, right?

Debate This is streaming live every Monday and Wednesday night! You can find us on twitch.tv/debatethiscast every Monday at 8pm ET. VODs are also available up on the debatethiscast YouTube channel.

SIDEBAR: Videogame Creepypastas LIVE(ish)!

in , , ,

Our tradition of collating the greatest in internet-sourced amateur horror fiction about video games continues in our very first live episode! And, of course by "live," we mean "streamed on Twitch." This year's collection of free, unregulated creative writing exercises includes a glitched ROM of Metroid 2, an urban legend about a secret Numbers Station in Fallout 3, a massively-multiplayer murder simulation, and an experimental system that connects to your brain stem creating a situation where...say it with me...If You Die In The Game, You Die For Real.

Debate This! is streaming live every Monday night! You can find us on twitch.tv/debatethiscast every Monday at 8pm ET.

Episode 62: The Sovereign Nation of Bob-Omb Battlefield

in , , ,

Mario's world might look like it's all hyper-saturated sunshine and rainbows, but under that candy-coated exterior lie some real sinister themes. Like, while that cartoon-y manta ray boss in Super Mario Sunshine might seem like happy fun at first, it's pretty disturbing when you consider that it's literally a shadow that is slowly devouring all living matter in its wake. That gigantic 8-ft walking bomb might have a silly mustache, but it is also a gigantic 8-ft bomb filled entirely of gunpowder and loose ethics. This week, we take a look at the darker side of some of Mario's more enigmatic boss encounters.

Episode 59: Big Mr. I’s Spooky Investment Portfolio

in , , ,

With Paper Mario: The Origami King coming out later this week, we pulled in our team of expert RPG architects to help build the game's first (and best) DLC. It should also be stated that we refuse to accept truth and continue to tell ourselves that this game is going to be an incredibly crunchy RPG, baked with a deep strategy and complex lore. Knowing that, why not attempt to shove Bugzy from the Kirby series in there as a playable partner? Or what about that elephant from Yoshi's Story who stood there holding a sign in nothing but a diaper? No? Well then, allow us to pitch you retrofitting an entire subplot from Chrono Trigger in there? Totally works. No more questions.

Episode 57: Bouncing Around at the Speed of Time

in , , ,

Oooh boy here we go talking about the DC Universe again. We're attempting to being more thunder to this permanant-second-place franchise of characters by injecting them into some wild-ass 16-bit era games. Andrew bounces a rubber child through a magical mini-golf course filled with trees that also have faces, Kyle builds a white hat hacker into AMAZO to fight alongside Digital Mega Man, and Matt discovers that Ecco the Dolphin is the lost Aquaman comic that humanity needed.

Episode 54: The Fourth Dimension is Fear

in , , ,

Games like Mario Kart and Action Girlz Racing go zoom, zoom, zoom, and that makes our hearts go boom, boom, boom. This week has us turning beloved franchises and also Seaman into Painfully Elaborate racing titles. And if you don't already see the almost-lifelike face of the Dreamcast's grumpy, misogynist man-fish before you go to sleep at night, you sure will now.

Episode 44: A Rear Without a Santa Claus

in , , ,

Following the announcement that Sakurai and his team are releasing more DLC characters for Smash Ultimate in 2020, everyone out there has been speculating who they think the next additions will be. We could certainly do that for you, but it takes a much bolder team of content creators to instead tell you who they think will NOT be the next DLC characters in Smash Ultimate. And God help us if they make fighters out of Longhorn from 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, Bad Mr Frosty from ClayFighter, and Gooigi, an obvious pervert.

Episode 40: No Quid Pro Quos in Mephisto's Realm

in , , ,

Before Nic Cage donned the flaming skull of Ghost Rider, the Spirit of Vengeance has inhabited many bodies, dating all the way back to the Stone Age. Since we didn't want the goofiest iteration of Ghost Rider to be a boy on a wooly mammoth, we decided to mash this universe together with Mario Kart to bring you some flaming skulls with your red shells and your banana peels. Todd pitches a Parakoopa with a violent past, Kyle gets metal with a frownie-faced Lakitu, and Andrew holds a different argument with a shy guy on a pogo stick.

Debate This! is a dumb show where grown men yell at each other over video games and comics. Keep the conversation going by following us on social media @debatethiscast.
