What is February 1st if not the afternoon of Thanksgiving perservering, 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 brought 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 litte uncomfotable.

Dive back into Runeterra with us today as we take another trip to Summoner's Rift. Today's FLAVOR TEXT once again takes us into the world of League of Legends. However, this time we are opening it up by offering an overview of the hit 2021 Netflix show Arcane! A story of love, heartbreak, cool hoverboards, daddy issues, and a man who is definitely going to use his technology to make a weapon, Arcane brings us the tragic origin story of two LoL champions: Vi and Jinx while two cities war over independence of each other.

Per usual, we've got an Imgur link for you to follow along with (https://imgur.com/a/kBvLTah) while we have a disagreement over how that website is pronounced.

Part of the package deal of telling more lore-based stories in the League of Legends' universe includes giving you all, the listeners, some sweet sweet character backstories. Specifically that of: Fiddlesticks, Graves, Twisted Fate, Gangplank, and Miss Fortune. Go read Fiddlesticks' origin story for yourself right now: https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/fiddlesticks/.

LASTLY we wrap today's FLAVOR TEXT by blowing Andrew's mind by exploring the special event/skin stories of PROJECT and Battle Academia in the League of Legends Universe aka future tech champions and Anime Punch School

Special thanks to zhakhix, champion of Summoner's Rift and proud member of #buttthwompnation for commissioning today's episode! If you want to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, check out our Patreon page at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

It's the season premier episode baby! To kick of season 5 of DT!, we're jumping in on one of the most popular games of all time. It's got more players than Fortnite and it's made more money than GTA 5. This week is all about Candy Crush! But we're not crushing candy or matching three in this episode. No, today we ask, "What Candy Crush Candy is the tastiest in real life?"

Todd picked the candy with all of the powers. Matt's candy sends us down a fish-based rabbit hole. Kyle also picked the candy with all of the powers.

Happy last Tuesday of the year! We're heading in to our between-season break, but we wanted to penetrate your ear holes one more time before the New Year. Back in October, we launched a Patreon-exclusive DT! aftershow called Extended Good Vibes!

EGV! is a casual, unedited conversation between the Debaters recorded immediately after Debate This! episodes. This clip show is a sampling of some of our favorite moments from the first two months of EGV! We'll be back next week with our official Season 5 preview next week, and back with the Season 5 premier episode on 1/11/22.

If you enjoyed these clips today, consider joining the ranks of #ButtThwompNation over at patreon.com/debatethiscast! You can join our exclusive Discord server for as low as $5 and gain access to EGV! for $10.

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.

Did you hear? Did you hear? A new Pokemon game came out! Actually, it's not a new Pokemon game, it's an old Pokemon game. But they remade it! So it's new! Kinda. Hey, is the Pokemon formula getting a little tired? Is it time to run Pokemon through the DT!HQ machine to make it better? Is it time to make a comic book character a Pokemon Gym Leader? Probably not. But we did it anyway.

Matt mostly talks about Netflix and ghosts, but what else is new? Todd is definitely the only one talking about a genocidal villain this week. Sorry, we couldn't stop him. Also, Kyle knows way too much about Pokemon, so this is really his fight to lose.

It's that weird time between October 31st and December 1st where America attempts to both celebrate our history and ignore the plights of colonialism. So, here is our attempt to both capture the family-friendly traditions of November and to stave off the capitalist title wave that is Christmas. The Debaters are here to put their spin on the most American of holiday traditions, the Turkey Bowl.

Todd is out to remind us of the Youtube games of yore. Matt is really pushing the limits of our grandparent's love. Meanwhile, Andrew is down another Final Fantasy hole and his chances are not looking good. Realistically, we're all just here to reminisce about being beaten up by our older cousin.
