Hopped-Up 64

If you've wanted to know what taco-flavoured beer tastes like (and we know you didn't) then let us be your canaries the coal mine. It's an intimate, two-person interview this week, with Dave and Norris getting to the heart of what truly matters: the jurisdiction of DC Super Heroes. There's also discussion of Szechuan sauce, how Call of Duty is for children, and how Bioware's patches are going to d...

When it becomes readily apparent that we know more about e-sports than actual sports it's probably best to be a little embarrassed. But that won't stop us this year, as we talk about our confused opinions about professional e-sports, Korean baseball, One Punch Man, playing Zelda wrong, and toppling the tyranny of wearing pants. Also how do *you* feel about season's passes? Because we definitely ha...

Most of us are kinda sick this week. Which apparently makes us go crazy? Norris admits he's a bathroom trailblazer, Emery espouses his Hitchfork Horniness Hypothesis, Kelly wants to figure out how Patreon works, and then we all realize we hate and also love our anime dads. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Category 12 Brewing's Disruption Black IPA Music...

If you invest in us we promise to spend it *solely* on useless domain names. That's a Super Hopped-Up Guarantee! This week we try to determine the possibilities of crowd-sourcing a party, before realizing how difficult it would be to gin up some angel investors for our ideas; we may need to catch some earth or dragon investors first. The group comes *stacked* this week with video game talk, as Nor...

What's more strange, a fighting game-themed beer, or the fact that it may be the best beer we've had in a long time? This week, we get all the rowdy boys together, and talk about how much the beers this week have broken our brains, before talking about alternate universe super heroes, giant mecha, cats coming home from college, and our celebration of the current golden age of gaming. Kelly jumps o...

Dave and Norris realize that the more they drink the better they understand how to solve the world's problems. And it involves stopping people from using the word "Groovy". This week there's also talk about Comic Convention death marches, Dave's harrowing experiences on the fields of Verdun, Norris feeling bad about interactive teen murder, and both gushing about the goofs and gallants of the Acad...

The important thing to know about this week's episode is we drank a corrosively powerful beer a few minutes in, and then just devolved into madness. We get into the endless Ikea VS Costco hot dog battle, Kelly tells us the only thing better than being a samurai is managing a Samurai's inventory, Norris admits his embarrassing reading habits, and Matt admits he's an anime fiend. Hosts: Chris Norris...

On this week's episode, Norris outright proves that he's a child suffering from arrested development, but in his defense Coke Zero kind of does go with everything. Dave has some unkind feelings towards Ninjas fighting Vikings fighting Samurai, the gang gets hyped about Swamp Thing, and we all try to figure out how to get into comic books. Dave's also played some Battlefield 1, Kelly's played some...

We talk about wrestling for some reason this week, likely because wrestling is geek cool now. We also revisit Bloodborne's eldritch teachings, before getting our cyberpunk Spy-groove on with Invisible Inc. Then we, two dudes, also discuss poor female character representations in geek stuff, because we are foolish people who enjoy blindly walking into philosphical mine fields. Then Norris talks abo...

Welcome to Super Hopped-Up, your one-stop shop for Linkin Park fandom! That isn't true, though after this week we're closer to that goal than ever before. We do however admit this week our painful lack of music trivia, discuss all the faults of Axl Rose, and hope someone eventually cheers up that ol' curmudgeon Batman. Kelly also is less in love with the idea of an all-boys anime road trip, Mike i...

Tip back some brollini's with us this week as we usher in the first day of the rest of our lives. There's just as much conversation about shotgunning beer and Street Fighter, though, so maybe things never really change. This week Dave is excited for Injustice 2, and thinks that Life is Strange, Kelly finally finishes Persona 4, 800 years after its release, and Norris still wants to be a hacker fro...

It's almost the start of the craft hockey season, we hope you've kept your distressed jerseys and organic hemp hockey pants. This week the gang learns what original gravity means, and subsequently decide that any beer that uses the term are dorks. Norris is also pretty sure he's never vaped, Kelly loves sexy road trips, and Mike is an out-of-touch Pokemon elite. We also get some much loved fan fee...

Turns out at some point in time in everyone's life they get chased by a swan. We get back into the true 2017 this year, by talking about gross anime things. Then we discuss the President-Elect's alleged water sports fetish. Listen the point I'm trying to make is it gets weird but you're probably into it so it's fine. Also Mike likes bad pokemon, Dave is debating throwing his life away to the LoL g...

We start our Game of the Year talk with a painfully long discussion about both One Punch Man and Garfield comics, the two truest topics of 2016 that have to do with the past year. But for real, we spend a long time going over our highs (and some of our lows) of 2016 in pixels. We start by going through our individual Top-5 or Top-10 lists (some of us may have played less than 10), before taking of...

With everyone either with family for the holidays, or slowly trying to dry themselves out after last week's VERY SUCCESSFUL Metal Gear Marathon, it's a bit of a slower two-man-jam this week, as Kelly and Norris break down last week's nightmare, and then just fancily sip some good good beer. Kelly also lets us know why Uncle Death is making him climb the tower, Norris cant wait to get back to Gears...

Why are you even listening to this when The Metal Gear Marathon is going on!? Go here to help support Child's Play and watch us play video games for six days straight! - https://www.twitch.tv/metalgearmarathon Are you still here? Alright fine, we also recorded a podcast for this week. Where we talked about favourite movies from this year, Metal Gear, Pokemon Sun, and more Metal Gear. Also this wee...

I mean, what *should* the minimum drone wage be, really? After discussing this important, soon-to-be topic of our generation, this week we talk about the worst prize giveaways during a video game marathon, our hypothetical Seinfeld episodes, and our agreement that Pacific Rim probably wouldn't have been better in black and white. We also talk more about the Death Stranding trailer, Dave lets us kn...

This week listen to a bunch of strangers discuss Burning Man and Pizzagate in your ear, because we totally forgot what our names were. But first, we have a stirring PSA about the dangers of huffing vodka. And then we learn about the hanky code! Last week was The Game Awards, with a bunch of announcements and trailers and such, most importantly the mind-worm trailer for Death Stranding. We also let...

Get your homies together, we've got another podcast episode going! This week we're dipping into some true crime, the career paths of police mediums, and give our elevator pitches for our not new screenplay: Air Bud: Most Valuable President. Dave and Norris also realize they have a super power, they both think Titanfall is pretty dope, and Norris discusses his war with Purolator before he gives the...

We write to our favourite dictators this week, in hopes of finding new penpals, before determining what truly does make up "the gamer lifestyle." It was also an Overwatch free weekend, which was getting us ready for some of these sweet sweet Black Friday deals. Mike also gives us the mystical lowdown on one Steven Strange, and Norris lets us know we should never swing our sword in anger, even if y...

Well, it's been a long week. We came together this week, and because it is difficult for anyone to be thinking about anything else, we start off by talking about the election. As a beer and video game podcast that's maybe a weird choice, but, meh. We do talk about beer, and Titanfall, Mass Effect, and Final Fantasy this week too. So it's not all doom and gloom. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mi...

The gang may have forgotten how to open a podcast this week, but they sure didn't forget how to love. Our beer review this episode turns into us discussing the pros and cons of the Vatican City and its basket-based economy, Norris and Dave lay some bets down on the upcoming Hearthstone championship, Dave argues all tax is theft, and Matt explains to us the differences between "Mech" and "Mecha." W...

The spice must flow with this season of the pumpkin, and from pumpkin spiced poutine to homemade PSL's the bois at Super Hopped-Up got your back! Mike also lets us know about his boots-on-the-ground experience from the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon demo, which turns into a horror story about Pokemon with human hair. Dave brings us back to the 80's with his Matrix of leadership, and Norris discusses how...

With all this talk on potential Blizzard announcements, we've got the scoop: Lost Vikings 3 confirmed! We talk up on Overwatch's upcoming character, get giddy on the Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement, and pour one out for Vancouver game studio United Front Games upon their recent closure. Then the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer gets brought up and everything turns into a sprawling, 40 minute d...

The guys shake off the Fall doldrums this week, by drinking some salty beer, getting to the bottom of the deep Transformers fictional universe, and doing their damndest to figure out what's up with Resident Evil 7's rolling demo. We also start getting into the holiday spirit, as we discuss our latest movies watched for "The Month of Horror." Norris is also a virtual hacker, and Kelly still loves S...
