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.

The Spooktacular Express may have come and gone for the year, but we've found another train to talk about. This week, the F-Train is hitting the station to hear our pitches for a new Disney Ploose series. Turns out the Marvel Execs forgot to plan anything for the launch of Phase 5 and they need us to write their next smash hit.

Are Dazzler and Jubilee really different people? Kyle will answer your question while Andrew reminds us of the importance of blue body paint. Also, Matt talks about dinosaurs under the Museum of Natural History. Hey, you guys remember We're Back? Oh, and Kevin Feige is here with us this week.

It's week three of our Spooktacular Journey on the Spooktacular Express and this week we're pulling in to ComicTown, USA. This weeks Halloween-centric episode has us morphing famous comic arcs into survival horror games. Do any of the debaters know enough about comics to turn them into games? If they do, have they ever played a survival horror game? Only time will tell.

How do you feel about bugs? Because Matt is talking about bugs. Meanwhile, Kyle is only here to remake the second Avengers movie. Todd breaks glass in case of emergency and completes our proverbial Green Lantern EGOT.

There's a curiousity in all of us. Sometimes that curiousity can spark us to learn a new skill, dive deep into a hobby, or maybe try a new food. And then other times that curiousity can lead us sailing a boat straight into a magical storm wall encircling an island cursed with a demonic plague. Meet Adol Christin, the subject of the Ys series, probably the greatest JRPG series you've never heard of that has been quietly pumping out games since 1987. Adol's wanderlust and penchant for surviving ship explosions leads him to far-off lands, often dealing with some inexplicable ancient magic and/or hidden civilization populated with sentient dinosaurs. Today, we're breaking down every single Ys game to date, ending with the ninth entry that came out earlier this year. Special thanks to "Master Specter" for commissioning today's episode!
