Versus: Ruthlesskid Vs AJeezy – The Sony Dildo

Swiff Epics — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 02:39:11 +0000

Here is another episode of The Koalition‘s former debate show Versus. Remember AJeezy from our last Dual perspective? Well it’s the same guy. In this episode he went head to head with Ruthlesskid over his fanboyish ways. Most of the debate revolves around the Xbox 360 Kinect, which at the time was going by its codename “Project Natal”. Ruthlesskid was in favor of the Kinect/Natal; stating that it would be for both hardcore and casual gamers, and at the same time he managed to add why he thinks the Playstation Move is a useless dildo.

Look out for more classic episodes of Versus dropping on The Epic Network in coming week’s. Eventually we will be launching a new season, and I am trying to do something special for the official relaunch.

VERSUS: Ruthlesskid Vs Big Freezy – PS3 Sucks Yeh!

Swiff Epics — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:24:03 +0000

Versus was once a classic show that me and the infamous Ruthlesskid started on The Koalition. It was made to be a debate show in which the most argumentative Xbox 360 fanboy ever birthed (Ruthless himself) would allow people to challenge him on his beliefs. However Versus spread to be just a debate show, in which anyone could get on and debate with whoever, over any subject. Due to certain Koalition difficulties the show was scrapped, but now I am bringing it back right here on The Epic Network. At first I will be re-releasing a few old episodes, and then eventually I will organize some new Versus debates.

(hit play)

This is the classic first edition of Versus in which Ruthless went against a good friend of The Koalition, Big Freezy a.k.a Freezola75. This debate got heated, and you could hear Freezola get angered by Ruthless’s constant onslaught on the PS3 platform. Check it out above. Shout out’s to Worsecase from Games On Smash who was listening in during the recording.
