You know what this world doesn't have enough of? Dive bar cover bands! Nothing can bring a group together like cheap beer, limp nachos, and 5 sweaty guys doing their best Journey impression. So, in the spirit of bringing the world together, we're recruiting members to form a house band for our new dive bar. But these aren't just your dad's buddies from the garage, no these are bonafide musicians....

We've got a full stack of hosts this week as the gang gets back together triumphantly to talk about Marvel TV's latest and greatest entry, Ironheart!  Because it kind of came and went and got buried under the Supermans and Fantastics 4 of the world, you might not have caught this one.

Cities. According to Google, there's approximately 35,000 of them in the United States. Well, we here at DT!HQ believe that, of these approximately 35,000 cities, not nearly enough of them have their own superhero! That's why we're putting our heads together to solve this problem. Take a picture by the sign and smash a penny at the Welcome Center while we decide "which city deserves it's own homet...

After seven long years, DT!HQ finally landed at home in Columbus for a LIVE episode! The kind folks from ANIMATE! Columbus invited us to perform our humble podcast in their Social Club.

Andrew is talking about consultants and it's going to make you sad. Todd is...

Every year, around the holiday season, we gather at DT!HQ for a gift exchange of the wildest video game peripherals we can find. Well we're still six months out from that, but we just got a new Nintendo console and the nerds are already rabid for a new Nintendo peripheral. So we gathered at DT!HQ for what some may call a halfway-to-the-holidays party to showcase our favorite Nintendo peripherals o...

The year was 1981 and the world of video games was about to get HORNY, but probably not the kind of horny you expect. Through the early '80s and mid '90s, one video game series was injecting both passion and stank into computers everywhere. That series was known as Leisure Suit Larry, and this is his story. Follow along with the complete Imgur library here: https://imgur.com/a/leisure-suit-larry-f...

Long time listeners of DT! should be well aware that we here at DT!HQ, we love a TV Docuseries.

Join us for Part 2 of our epic adventure through each and every mainline Final Fantasy game, highlighting the context you'll want in preparation for the upcoming Magic t...

Long ago, it was prophesized that four heroes would arrive to save the world from the encroaching darkness. It's said these Warriors of Light would repel the forces of darkness and finally bring peace to the world.  Don't worry, we're here but instead of saving the world we've decided to use our powers for actual good: To spend the next 5-6 hours talking at you about the entire Final Fantasy serie...

Kyle is taking us to a place that, maybe, we...

Photography is an every-person hobby! Anyone out there can grab a camera, hop in an autonomous vehicle, fill their backpack with apples and smoke bombs, and go take pictures of flora and fauna! Of course, I'm talking about 1999's smash hit, Pokemon Snap. While Pokemon Snap did get a sequel in 2021, there continues to be a staunch lack of photography games available to gamers in 2025. That's why th...

Have you ever heard of the 'Nemesis System?' No? That's not surprising! The 'Nemesis System' is a patented game mechanic that was only included in two games in the mid 2010s. Despite the mechanic only existing for about 50 hours of gameplay, it's impact runs deep. For nearly a decade, gamers have been begging for another Nemesis-ed game to get their grubby little paws on. Well, lucky for those gam...

Pets. They're the best part of living! We love them, we care for them, they eat us out of house and home. Some people love cats. Some people love dogs. Some people love greasy cephalopods on fire.

In the distant past of 2014, humanity was forever changed upon the discovery of a big ol' space orb floating above Mars. The big ol' space orb terraformed planets across our solar system and granted us with the Power of LightTM, ushering in a new Golden Age. But, that Golden Age wouldn't last forever. Eventually, the forces of DarknessTM found us and did a near-genocide, and now humanity is on the...

Love is in the air at DT!HQ, and with Valentine's Day right around the corner, we just need to tell you about it. We grouped up and waxxed nostalgic about some of our former flings and misadventures.

It was a quiet night in Cincinnati, OH when the call went out for a podcast to perform live and spice up the night.
