FLAVOR TEXT: Halo

in , , , ,

Buckle yourself in for the Great Journey as we talk about Spartan IIs, Forerunners, Sticky Grenades, the Flood, Prometheans, SPNKRS, a brief stint experimenting with dual wielding mechanics, and punching the Prophet of Regret in his stupid alien face. That's right, today we're doing our deep dive into the Halo series in our latest FLAVOR TEXT.

With Halo: Infinite just released, it's time to brush up on 7 games worth of deep, intergalactic space lore following the origins of life in the Halo universe, the creation of Spartan IIs, details of what the Halos actually are (and are not!) and ending with some guesses as to the plot of Halo: Infinite. Spoiler: Todd was only partially correct.

Episode 29: In Between Pennywise Thighs

in , ,

The Top Generals of the World’s Military need our help! The R&D department of Debate ThisI Corp. has been tasked with developing a new weaponized vehicle, so naturally we’re going to pull blueprints from games because that is a totally normal thing to do. Instead of boring old helicopters, how about the AV-49 Wasp from Halo? Why drive that tank when you could fire napalm from a reinforced ice cream truck? Bomber planes not providing the ummph you need? This warp star is guaranteed to provide much more explode-ier results!

Episode 20: Enter the Vibration Dimension

in , ,

It’s the holiday season, so that means it’s time to shower each other with good will and material love. The Debate This! boys are exchanging gifts in the form of crappy third-party gaming peripherals. Have you ever wanted to get kicked in the chest by Scorpion? How about firing a gun with your vocal cords? Santa wouldn't touch this garbage with a ten-foot pole.
