Hopped-Up 64

This is the nice half of our annual GOTY Double-header. In this section every member of the team comes with their favourite individual lists of games they played in 2017. We gush about what we liked, and it's a real feel-goodery. *Next week* is when we sharpen our knives and try to kill each-other's favourite virtual children, in the process of determining our overall game of the year. Also, Mike...

*Hey y'all, sorry if you get this podcast via RSS, and it's late. We had a really great name for the episode, but it might have been too hot for our host and I think it got taken down. Whoops! Don't worry if you listen you'll be able to figure out what the original title was.* This week, most of the gang admits that they don't know how to drive and that's okay. They also test out some Khlav Kalash...

To start this week off, we discuss the Do's and Don'ts of morning wakeup strategies. Turns out everyone does it differently. We also discuss lame things to heist, Matt describe's his new favourite TV show as "The Wire with cum", and Mike thinks Charlie Hebdo shouldn't make fan updates of Crusader Kings 2. There's some love for Italian plumbers, too. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Kelly Wright, M...

Quick, how many 90's baseball films can *you* remember? This week, we warm up by trying to figure out the best Mario-related sports product, before settling in to spend 40-ish minutes giving out our feelings on the new Justice League. Turns out? Not huge fans. Justice League spoilers go from 19:20 to 50:00-ish, but honestly what manner of person actually has deep feelings about the sanctity of the...

We also discuss people who spend over 10 grand on loot boxes, reaffirm our status as an alt-left podcast, and try to answer the question "are video games good?" Other topics: Stranger Things making us cry, everyone's conflicted feelings about the...

The gang tries to figure out the names of things from Animorphs this week, and do better than they should. Also Dave's grumpy about Halloween, he's also changing his name to 'E-sports', Norris realizes his orc friends are fair-weather at best, and Kelly is sad his food paste got banned from Canada. We also decide Lord of the Rings is for children. Sorry nerds you know we're right. Hosts: Chris Nor...

We had literally nothing prepared this week so we spent basically an hour discussing the original Star Wars trilogy.

But first Dave lets us know his feelings on Final Fantasy: Kingsglaive, Mike's been playing some free PSPlus games, Matt made his own SNES Classic purely out of spite, and Kelly remains on his Destiny bullshit.

This week, we discuss the finer points of Stephen King's ouevre while sipping fine, oak-aged beer. Then after that we talk about why furry afficianados need to buy an SNES Classic. It's a smooth transition. Also this week Matt brings up his favourite animes involving supernatural nocturnal creatures, we vet Ken Burns' haircut, and give a history lesson on how the NGage destroyed Finland. Hosts: Ch...

This week, the gang decides that pewdiepie's gotten too big for his britches, and they're the *only ones* who can end his reign of terror. By idly and impotently discussing the latest stupid, racist thing he's done while simultaneously making fun of Sweden. But also, Happy Destiny 2 week y'all! We here at the Destinyfa clan would like you to know that we're currently enlisting! Are you tired of pe...

To be sure, it's not that we at Supper Hopped-Up are *Pro* cult, we're more cult-adjacent.

Matt also discusses to us his arduous journey of self-discovery completing Pillars of Eternity, Norris discusses hammering nerds at PAX West, an...

This week starts with some honest discussion on circular self-love, and kind of just devolves into a deep dark pit for a while. We get out of it though with some good beer, brought to us by nepotism! Also this week Dave's at the helm of the intergalactic bang bus, Kelly plans a hostile takeover of our future Destiny 2 clan, and Norris loves the shadows in his heart. Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parke...

Gather 'round all and I'll tell you a tale. A tale of an adorable miniature console and the planet it destroyed. There's first some bad poetry and sci fi. But for real at the day of recording was the day the SNES Classic went up for pre-order. And it was an absolute *nightmare.* Blood on the streets. A massacre. Also Diablo 3, Injustice 2, and idly discussing a new Nidhogg tournament. A new champi...

The gang finally bends the knee this week to Game of Thrones fandom, where despite our best efforts we talk about this latest season. Dave also throws down against Baby Driver, Mike swears he knows Star Wars, and Norris is super excited about a Batman movie marathon. Also even *more* Zelda: Breathe of the Wild talk, and we all decide the phrase "Penis Parker" is hilarious. Oh hey, also! There's go...

The boys are in the house this week, as we try to decide which Cory would make the best final boss. Also discussed, pivoting the podcast from video games to sex gear, before deciding video games may actually be the grosser topic. Also: Hearthstone expansions, Valve's new game announcement, reality television, Resident Evil, Persona 5, Pyre, and sexual exploitation in the game industry. One of thos...

We tricked a real-live guest into the studio this week: Kevin Regamey, one of the founders of Power Up Audio and the current record holder for the Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons speedrun. So we prettied up for company and diverted from our usual bullshit, in order to talk up the speedrunning community, some of the methodologies behind glitch hunting, and what drives someone to want to go *as fast a...

Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wrig...

You know we're right. Also we do beer talk, video game talk, Netflix anime talk, and EVO tournament talk. Which I guess is also video game talk. The gang also settles on what our next big movie marathon's gonna be, and needless to say we're already excited. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Sierra Nevada Sidecare Orange Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

We had to debrief after last week's podcast, and it turns out we're all bad people and we're all very sorry. Especially Mike. For *THIS* week, Norris states his opposition to Guinness, Matt scientifically proves Family Guy was worse than The Simpsons, but we all agree that nothing will ever be as good as King of the Hill. Kelly likes being called "Commander", Mike wants to live in Hyrule, and Norr...

Sometimes we have some good event ideas on this podcast. Sometimes, we don't. We'll leave it up to *you* to decide if this episode was the former or the latter, as the gang and special guest @roshirai sit on a bunch of couches and figure out what life is like after watching all 6 Resident Evil films in quick succession. It's another movie marathon day! Which once again takes on a distinct, "Heart...

On this week's episode of the Friendscast, the podcast that talks solely about the hit 90's sitcom Friends, we reminisce on our favourite episode, where Ross and Chandler decide on a suicide pact but give up when they both realize the gun's too heavy.
