The last month of the year calls for a hoard of annual, year-end traditions. For some, that may involve decorating evergreen pines, for others, the estimation of Q4 tax payments, but for those of us of a certain generation, the last month of the year can mean only one thing: Spotify Wrapped. For those uninitiated, Spotify users receive a fun little slide show showcasing what songs they listened to most this year. It's all fun and games except this year, Spotify did a bad job. Enter the nerds at DT!HQ who have tasked us with making Spotify look better. To do that, they've asked us to put our heads together and brainstorm: "What's the worst 'Wrapped' report you could possibly get at the end of the year?"

Matt's doing movies. Todd's doing video games. Kyle's doing everything else.

At the time of this episode's release, we're only a few weeks removed from the Mike Tyson v Jake Paul boxing match. Millions of users tried to watch this fight on Netflix, but most were thwarted by shoddy broadcast connections. Whether folks watched the fight live or not, almost all were dissapointed with the outcome. This bout with a 31-year age gap left a lot to be desired, and we here at DT!HQ are going to give the people what they desire. With that goal in mind, we've set out today to determine "which video game character would be the best to fight Jake Paul?"

Todd suggests we fight fire with fire and billionaire with billionaire. Andrew suggests we make everyone in the room uncomfortable. Kyle suggests the void.

We're in the back half of November and that puts us squarely in "The Holidays." There's family, there's friendship, there's food, there's gifts, and there's the inevitable awkward conversation you'll have introducing your family to your new partner. We here at DT!HQ sympathize with those of you bringing a new relationship home this holiday season. To help acclamate you to this inevitable confrontation, we're putting on our pretend hats and theorizing over potential family dinner nightmare scenarios. So grab a napkin and pass the potatoes because this week we're debating "who the worst DC Comics character to bring home for the holidays?"

Kyle is really stretching the definition of "manic pixie dream girl" this week. Andrew is going to make you uncomfortable and give your grandma a heart attack this week. Also this week, Matt gives his thoughts on child rearing.

It is the distant future of 2022 A.D. Technology has advanced to the point where fully immersive virtual reality experiences are not only possible, but readily available to the average consumer. In November of 2022, the newest video game sensation, Sword Art Online, has just released and has taken Japan by storm. Thousands line up on launch day to play this immersive massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG).

The wildest part? Not even a single critic has acclaimed this game. The second wildest part? Following its first few hours, the initial 10,000 people logged into the game suddenly are unable to log out for...reasons?

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November," or whatever that guy in the mask said. On account of today being a relatively important day in world history, we decided to record an episode relatively based on world history! That little poem at the beginning of the paragraph was made famous by Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, a graphic novel based on a historical event. With that in mind, we're on a mission to write our own graphic novels! Specifically, we're looking for the best historical event to put to illustrated print.

Matt is getting suprisingly heady with his answer. Andrew is getting suprisingly culty with his answer. And we decided to bring in a guest who actually knows history, so Eric Silver is getting suprisingly heisty with his answer.

Vault Hunters, Space Capitalism, and eldritch horrors locked behind arcane gates? It's cute that you all think you're the heroes of this little adventure, but you're not. Welcome to Pandora, kiddos. That's right, we're diving exploding gun-first into the looter shooter that built the genre all thanks to our wonderful support of Butt Thwomp Nation member, Sharkbait!

It's deep lore, character explanations, and a life lesson about how there's probably a reason why an ancient civilization sacrificed their entire society to lock a something called "The Destroyer" behind a gate, so maybe you don't open that gate, yeah? Strap in, choose a vault hunter, decide on a skill tree specialization, change your mind and respec when it doesn't work out well, and get ready to say the word "fustercluck" at least once!

Turns out the people at Marvel are such big fans of the Spooktacular Express that they started airing a spooky Halloween show just for us to cover on Avenge This! So a huge thanks to our friends at Marvel Studios for releasing four episodes of Agatha All Along just for us. We're chatting through the first half of the latest Disney+ show. Spoiler alert for the show but also spoiler alert that we're actually pretty stoked on this one.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right, it's Spooktacular Express Season! Our annual month of Halloween content kicks off in an unexpected place, Christmas movies. Why you ask? Well because we tried to do this in december and it just didn't work out. So stoke the fire place, get cozy under a blanket and come along as we decide "What Hallmark Christmas movie should be remade into a horror game?"

Kyle is making us contend with the horror that is quality time with our families. Todd brought a self-insert. Andrew also participated.
