Hopped-Up 64

The "Mr. Dinner" bit wasn't even something we talked about during the episode, but it was definitely the funniest thing we said all night so I had to make it the title. Like, what if Mr. Noodle and Kraft Dinner made a food? It was funnier in person you had to be there. This week, we try to discern what people are saying about Death Stranding, figure out whether an ice-cream-based pokemon is made o...

The gang is dancing their way to Elysium this week, as most of us can't shut the hell up about how good Disco Elysium is. Dave and Norris also break open their feelings about Outer Worlds, Kelly is up in the spooky season with Dead by Daylight's new Halloween content, and Matt has fallen off of the wagon and deep, deep into some Battletech lore. Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Bee...

I don't want to explain it. We're all coming down from the heady excitement of Canadian politics, with a little detective noir this week. Unsurprisingly, most of the gang is completely enthralled with Disco Elysium. There's also some talk on Link's Awakening, as well as Kelly doing his best to horrify everyone with his recent games. Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week...

I unilaterally decided this week we were going to spend an hour talking about Canada's upcoming election. STRAP IN FOR POLITICS. Kelly also gives us an update on The Surge 2, for some reason Dave is still playing Far Cry 3, Bill is most certainly not aroused by Bloodstained, and Norris is losing his damn mind over Disco Elysium. Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: St...

We spend an hour and talk about the dang Joker. Some other video game stuff at the end, but mostly it's just about that rascal The Joker. Turns out we have some divergent opinions on the movie, and we try to figure out why. Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: Fuggles and Warlock Kiwami Plum Sour Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Bill McDonnell Music by...

I don't know why but we talk a fair bit about Miss America this week. It, understandably, goes in some directions. Games are coming in wet and wild this time of year, and we're doing a very bad job of keeping up. Kelly and Dave let us know what's up in The Surge 2, Char is getting in the spook season with Dead by Daylight, and we detail how good the voice acting is for MK11's Terminator. We also d...

I dare you to tell me there's a difference. This week, Mike built a PC and is thus able to actually play Remedy's new game, Control. Seems to be good! Steph's playing some of the Link's Awakening, Dave is definitely not doing a genocide in Greedfall, and Norris wants us all to know that Playstation did a video thing. Also did you know you could buy Sega Genesis games on the Switch? NintenDOES do w...

Matt's back this week from the Toronto International Film festival, and he either has plenty of movies to tell us about or he made up a bunch of things that sound like possible art films, including 143 Sahara Road, Crazy World, and Gundala. Which of course ends up with us arguing about super hero movies again. We do eventually get into games this week; Dave wants us to know that everyone is bad in...

Prepping for our road trip down to the Area 51 raid next week. Can't wait to see you all there. This week, Norris is shocked at how uncompromisingly horny Dragon Quest Builders 2 is, Kelly declares his love for Banjo-Kazooie, Steph finally beat Persona 5, Mike is enjoying the masochism that is playing Sekiro, and Dave is getting his RPG on with Greedfall. Also we go through what was announced at l...

Listen, I just think it's dangerous to glamorize the life of a man who mutated all the fish in Gotham so that they'd look like him in order to copyright them and run Gotham's fish market. Is that the kind of person we want our kids watching? This week we have plenty of *twisted* tricks for each other, including discussing how everyone is losing their gosh dang minds over this Joker movie, discussi...

Fantasy names are all incredibly stupid, we will not be convinced otherwise. This week the gang and a special guest come together to talk about that hot 2010 film Inception, as well as WoW Classic, Fire Emblem's insistence that Blue Lions matter, Ion Fury's bad beliefs and worse humour, and a bunch of other stuff I can't recall. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Wee...

We've got a special guest all the way in from the UK this week, world-ranked tabletop Blitz Bowl player and general gad-about Conor Rooney. We get weirdly deep into some of the latest Smash Bros Ultimate gossip, discuss a whole bunch of anime, and get into what's going on lately in tabletop miniatures. Also we try to parse just what the hell is going on about Spiderman between Sony and Disney, and...

Literally every podcast is having their brain melt over this, and ours is too. This week the gang discusses some completely implausible conspiracy theories, before settling back in to make fun of David's house in Fire Emblem. Norris and Matt also break down Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Norris likes GLOW, Dave's started watching some cool new show called Breaking Bad, and some teen-sex drama call...

We went to Las Vegas. I think. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: Let's just call it multiple Hosts: Chris Norris, Bill McDonnell, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright, Char Bayer, Matt Emery Music by Sebastian Bender

Listen: when you're right, you're right. We quickly threw together an episode while packing all of our EVO stuff, that's chock-full of fighting game prep, movie talk, and how unlike all the other systems our system is defintely going to break all the casinos. Also, Matt wants everyone to watch The Farewell, Dave needs a Mortal Kombat training partner, Steph disdain's Vancouver traffic, and Norris...

I mean, no director's been chosen yet but he's clearly the best possible choice. This week we're breaking down the ton of MCU news, deciding if these next films are going to be the ones that finally destroy the franchise. There's inevitably some EVO talk, and Kelly has some opinions about erotic fan fiction at the very end, so you'll have to listen to the whole episode to hear it. Also check out o...

Whether it's Wolfenstein making you believe everyone's a communist, Pokemon teaching you that nothing is permanent but death, or Assassin's Creed forcing you to realize the problem is your own damn self, video games give you brain worms folks. Mike and Steph join us this week from the land of endless northern sun, to discuss the hot new pokemon news. We also dish about Mario Maker 2, our Vegas pla...

There's some good film talk this week, as Matt gushes about everyone's favourite new comedy, Midsommar. We also discuss some more Evo prep, Kelly's controversial opinions about Tetris, and just let Matt go off about movies that are older than your grandparents. Also, subscribe to Kelly and Char's new podcast, Drinking & Screaming, on your local podcast provider! Also check out our youtube! youtube...

Makes us all feel good. This week Dave and Steph discuss their experience with the ghosts in Devotion. Norris talks about finishing up Evangelion, and also how so many video games he's playing these days has him stabbing bears, and Kelly has gone back into stress-playing Skyrim. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: Russell Brewing's Lemon Meringue Pie Sour Hosts:...

Man I don't get this whole Evangelion thing. It's like, *I've already seen Pacific Rim* am I right? This week, we discuss a fair bit of anime. Dave is also slaying some spires, Steph is hiding from the cops in her mind palace, Char's playing with dolls, and Norris is dancing with his best friends Link and Zelda. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Drink of the Week: Red Racer Pil...

It's a video game about an anti-government cult taking over a large rural area. How could it *possibly* be political? This week, the gang tries to figure out what the hell a Gose is. Dave and Mike discuss their EVO training regimen, Steph tries and fails to placate Norris' Persona demands, and we all discuss how Ubisoft doesn't understand what the word "politics" means. We also spend some time dun...

Had I known it was annoying, I would have stopped woo-ing throughout the Bethesda conference. Sorry. It's that time of year, where we all look into the barrel of the video games gun, to find out what's gonna blast us in the face. Turns out, it's just Gooigi. It's Gooigi all over our faces. We go over the main E3 conferences, detail what's been announced, as well as give our highlights, our lowligh...

Topics this week include: our embarrassing medical maladies, our desire to play video games that make us feel productive, our opinion that next week's E3 is going to be a whiff, and another story of Kickstarter folly. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Drink of the Week: Russell Brewing White Rabbit Lemon Raz Radler Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Choco the Dog Musi...

The gang this week's talking about their favourite tv genre: sad people grimly volunteering to die. That's right baby it's Chernobyl, the best unintentional body horror show in years (not counting Dave's twitter). We also discuss the very important topics of Far Cry 5, training for EVO, lootbox legislation, and which video games are the most horny. Did we miss your horniest video game? Come to our...

He may not have always had a great track record with dogs, but it really looks like he turned it around. This week, half the team went and saw John Wick 3 (that Keanu Reeves dance movie everyone's gushing about), and they try to explain to the rest what exactly John Wick is about. Also, Steph refuses to apologize for not playing Persona 5, Matt has an endless list of movies he wants to talk about,...
