Ep. 79: Boosties In My Undersnax

How much do you know about the phrase "public domain?" Follow up question, how much do you want to know about the phrase "public domain?" Today we're doing something just plain silly. Today we're making Sonic the Hedgehog games out of public domain novels. Believe it or not, they've already made two of them.

Todd's idea led to a lot less puns than it could have. Kyle's idea revolves around everyone's favorite public domain detective. Matt's idea has a villain that really pushes the limits of stupidity.

I'm just going to say this up front: 138 = 69 x 2. With that out in the open, it should be no surprise to you that today's episode is another "What game would make the best dating sim" episode. If you don't want to hear the DT! hosts discuss BDSM, maybe skip this one. (Looking at you, Matt's Mom.)

Kyle is doing his best to reinvent the most lackluster release of 2024 so far. Matt is pushing the boundaries of what you can do with a typo. Todd came to the party with more Olympic facts than your body has room for. By the way, we have a guest this week and Jennasis is here to make you think about Ed Sheeran.

Recommended reading: Special thanks to Jennasis for joining us on Debate This! today! You should check out Jennasis's stuff! She's one half of two different podcasts. One is called Two Girls, One Ship and it breaks down romance in video games. The other is the Cyberpunk Lorecast and I don't feel like I need to explain to you what that is.

Kept you waiting, huh? It's been nearly four years since we first talked about Vulcan Raven and his magical spirit ravens, and so we're finally bringing you the full context and delivering on what may be one of the most complicated and insane video game stories of all time...Metal Gear Solid!

Our deep dive into the history and lore of this PS1 classic will leave you wondering if love can, in fact, bloom on the battlefield. Maybe even after it's over, you'll leave a comment saying...you're pretty good. La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo. OK, that's enough this game is silly.

Did you know there's only one official Marvel Cinematic Universe slated for a 2024 release? That number jumps to three if you include the Sony Venom-Verse movies, but the once mighty MCU is down to a single cinematic release this year. Whether you've kept up with Phases 4 and 5 or not, you're probably aware that Marvel Studios seems to lack direction. Somewhere between a glut of Disney+ content and the conviction of their planned franchise villain, Kevin Feige et al. seem to have lost their way. That's why the Marvel Team has turned to us here at DT!HQ to help determine: What should be the new direction for the MCU?

Todd is going to tell you about the Dark Avengers and you're going to like it. Kyle is going to tell you about House of M and you're going to like it. Andrew's going to tell you about Separation Anxiety and you're going to hate it.

Ten years ago, purveyor of the human condition and scion of the future Mike Judge created another hit series as a follow up to the likes of Office Space, Idiocracy, and King of the Hill. This series would go on to shine a now-familiar light on the silliness and cartoonishly villainous behavior of the wacky tech moguls of the San Francisco Bay Area. Silicon Valley made careers out of Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch, and Jimmy O. Yang, and helped put T.J. Miller's career in the grave. Join us this month as we break down all 6 seasons of this iconic HBO series.

Special thanks to friend of the show and #buttthwompnation member Deb for commissioning today's episode! If you want to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

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?

Early last year, we took stock of all the FLAVOR TEXT episodes we had recorded by that time and sorted them all in a tier list, which resulted in The Witcher being our most favorite and Kingdom Hearts our least. Now with 20+ more under our belt, we're doing that all over again by both ranking this new batch separately and then together with the first batch.

The second batch of FTs ranked: https://imgur.com/a/ULWskUE

All FTs up-to-date ranked: https://imgur.com/a/1DuNCIt

Happy Winter Season of Non-Denominational Holiday Celebration™ to all of you who celebrate non-denominationally! 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! Unfortunately, DT!HQ is a little short on budget this year, so we decided to exchange gifts with the local pawn shop as opposed to each other. So today we've gathered together to decide on the best video game peripheral to sell to a pawn shop?

Matt brought a plank of wood. Andrew brought a slice of Pizza. Todd brought an oldie that is most certainly also a goodie.
