Hopped-Up 64

We watched Detective Pikachu; it was kind of terrible when the cop Pikachu shocked those protesting water pokemon. We go through the wildness that is Detective Pikachu this week, before witnessing the insanity that is angry internet misogynist's fan edit of Avengers Endgame. We detail the Kid Goku DLC for DBZ FighterZ, go into some further details about the secret depravity in Stardew Valley, and...

Well, it happened everyone. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over. It's done. No more Marvel movies ever again. I can't believe they killed off everyone. We're talking nothing but hot, spoiler-y details about Avengers: Endgame this week, as we go over our feelings on the culmination of 10 years of godlessly expensive film-making. We discuss what we liked, what we loved, what we weren't so hot on,...

It seems like everyone is either just getting back from, or just heading out to, some sort of vacation. Dave confirms for us that ex-pats in Thailand are scum, Norris confirms that tourists at Disneyland are scum, and Steph mostly has good things to say about the Yukon. Dave also gives us the details on Mortal Kombat 11, Char lets us know how much she's enjoying Backbone, and we all try to figure...

Norris is really tired this week, so let's keep this synopsis short: Kelly likes Risk of Rain 2, Char still likes Don't Starve, Steph is going to die playing Stardew Valley, and Mike is murdering pokemon for fun. Also we talk about the NHL playoffs, which is absolutely *wild* these days. Also Joker's in Smash Bros Ultimate. He's pretty cool. Persona 5's pretty cool, guys. Beer of the Week: Granvil...

Listen: life's hard here out on the Rim. Sometimes your dog army eviscerates a group of bandits and there's only one thing to do with the bodies. This week is all about the gang acknowledging their problems. Whether it's Steph's crippling addiction to Stardew Valley, Kelly's masochism with Sekiro, or Bill's growing need to harvest human flesh, it seems like we've all got problems. Except Norris. H...

Whether it's a CEO asking you to take a card, or a company telling you to give up your evenings and weekends, it's best you just don't trust gaming magic. This week we provide a safe avenue for Kelly to discuss his Sekiro troubles, Steph and Char go deep into Don't Starve Together, and everybody talks about the recent Kotaku article debriefing Anthem. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Charlene Bayer...

This week, we're all about MSN Messenger and close-up magic. Blasts from things that include the past! Dave is getting hype off the MK11 beta, Kelly is reaching his mortal limitations in Sekiro, Steph wants the dogs to just leave her alone in Don't Starve, and Matt has just been watching old black and white Soviet documentaries. Also we talk about all the sexy gun gams in that Borderlands 3 announ...

This week it's all about death and ninjas, with the release of Sekiro. Kelly and Dave break down the game, there's a good discussion about putting easy modes into video games, and just some overall gushing. Matt lets us know his feelings about Jordan Peele's "Us", which somehow strays into talks about wizards, which somehow strays into talks about the existence of deadbeat gay dads in the wizardin...

What else would you call it when you tear down your neighbour's homes, rebuild them for yourself, and enslave the populace so you can liquidate them for resources. This week, we drink some Icelandic beer, and talk about some TECH. Some cold hard TECH coming at us from Google. That's right, the Google Stadia! Piping hot games to your TV! Steph and Mike also describe the bad things they're doing in...

They told me I couldn't put condom in the title two weeks in a row; they were wrong. THE TOPICS THIS WEEK: Kelly's experience in Florida Matt's love of Minions Dave and Norris' feelings about Captain Marvel Also we have some opinions about Anthem, some more opinions about DMC5, and some exposition to how Dragon Quest 11 is ruining Norris' life. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Matt...

Literally the best description our podcast has ever been given. This week the gang's talking EVO! We go over some of the preliminary registration numbers for the event, give a solemn farewell to Smash Bros Melee from the main stage, and figure out what, if anything, we'll be playing in Vegas. Steph decides her future career as a gamedom, Dave gets into his feelings playing DOA6, Bill gives us a hi...

We get Mike to call in from the snowy north, so we can discuss the true topic of the age: that fucking Teen Titans show on Netflix. We scientifically deconstruct the latest Detective Pikachu trailer, Matt gives us the lowdown on the Academy Awards, Steph and Mike really, *really* hate Titans, and Norris is a time traveller. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Matt Emery, Mike Parker Beer of the Week:...

It's a week for sharing, as we give strength to those fighting off their Diablo 2 addictions. Listen in as a man describes sidling to the very brink of gaming madness, before finally breaking away. There's a lot of talk about whether or not the obscenely wealthy would want to buy our blood this week, some talk on how the new Jump Force game is the same as making your anime dolls kiss, and hearing...

An anime game that might not be good? Whaaa? This week the gang figures out if JRPGs are good, if they should be cancelled, Kelly lets us know if he thinks Apex Legends is good or should be cancelled, and Dave tells us about his new gf, Lara Croft. Also apparently that Jump Force game leaked early, and people have some *feelings* about it. We also get into some detail about the recent Activision-B...

We talk about a lot of film this week. Trigger warning preface, we bring up Bryan Singer (an existential trigger warning of a person), and he's (allegedly) done some bad stuff and really needs to go. There's also a lot of discussion on how the hell the Academy Awards work, we dig deep into the state of horror films these days, and also bring up the latest weird shit EA has been doing, including th...

The hot new Netflix and Chill that the kids are all into. This week the gang continues being spooky, with some more thoughts on new Resident Evil 2, some *new* thoughts on old Resident Evil 7, and some eternal frustrations about anime. There's a lot of anime talk this week, actually. A degenerate amount, even. Also: Norris wants to crush capitalism with his adorable imaginary friends, Steph wants...

Due to a big-business snafu we somehow managed to get RE2 early this week, so we're piping out our feelings on it before the officially, doctor-prescribed time. There's some zombie talk this week, be it in Racoon City, on the Island of Memories, or just discussing how the characters in Steph's Persona 5 playthrough are doing. We also shit-talk the Pinkertons this week, express our concern at a bee...

We discuss what we remembered from health class this week, and it turns out there might still be some lessons to learn! Kelly also did a good job of poisoning us this week, by giving us a beer so strong we had no choice but to get drunk. Steph's been spending some nights in the wood, Kelly's been tuning up his racing whip, Dave needs you to know that DOA is for discrete gentlemen, and Norris put o...

It's the true 'Nick at Night' over here. There's some good film talk, there's some video game discussion, Norris gets upset about our 2018 Game of the Year list, but most importantly we play the game that's sweeping the nation: Nickelodeon, or Porn? Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Matt Emery, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Remnant Beers from the Fridge Music by Sebastian Bender

It's that fighting time of year! Where everyone at the SHU crew dons their Gi's, fills their boxing gloves full of rolls of pennies, tapes razor blades to their headbands, and gets ready for a good ol' video game donnybrook. GAME OF THE YEAR. If you're new to our format, we do this in 2 parts. Part 1 is going to be the team going around and discussing their individual favourites of the year, usual...

Happy holidays y'all! None of us are around to podcast! So we recorded a holiday 'Questionable Questions' spectacular! We go through a number of questions provided by our beloved discord, though admittedly not all of the asked questions, as we mire ourselves in digression. Some good questions include, but are not limited to: what our TED Talks would be about! How our various body parts would rate...

With the holiday's coming up, we're rounding out the season with some last minute gaaaaaaame discussion. And also machine-led pleasure. We also discuss the Kingdom Hearts 3 leak, how wild 2B is in Soul Calibur 6, and if people should be allowed to copyright a dance. RIP Super Best Friends. Y'all will be missed. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Charlene Bayer, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Stanle...

Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Matt Emery, Ke...

We're all in a tizzy prepping for the Metal Gear Marathon, so this week we decide to talk about some Real Life Enfants Terribles: that's right folks it's all about CRISPR babies. Also Steph is becoming a real Metal Gear Woman, Matt loves the Coen Brothers, Dave trusts the old blood, and Norris bought a breathalyzer. Also the Metal Gear Marathon begins Dec. 6th at 9AM Pacific time and goes until De...

The gang just talks about cars for like 20 minutes today, before we get into some discusiion on our pre-Metal Gear Marathon jitters, and then pretending to know why old british tv frame rate ruined the playstation classic. There's also some talk about Fallout 76. I dunno none of us played it. Is it any good? Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: G...
