Hopped-Up 64

We've got a special guest on this week, pixel artist and awesome Vancouverite Chibwé Mweene, so *of course* most of the regular gang is out sick. That doesn't stop us though from talking pixel art, fighting games, and so much god damn Dragon Ball Z it hurts. We also discuss the the triumphant return of the Duke, the curious return of Atari hardware, and for some inexcusable reason we end up talkin...

It's that time of year again, when everyone unhinges their jaw and is force-fed all the raw, uncut pixels they need in order to feel something this holiday season; that's right E3 baby! Before that though we start the festivities by discussing which alcohol best gets our cut on, what anime Barron Trump probably digs, why those kids won't stop blaring dubstep outside. As for E3, we talk about all t...

Sometimes moments arise when a person, for completely personal reasons, has to buy new pants. This week we talk about those moments. Also in this week's podcast Norris discusses his complicated feelings about someone stealing his identity to get laid, we discuss which member of SHU would do best on Grindr, and decide that a sexy calendar is the only way we'll be able to make money. David also admi...

This week a lame beer trick has led to the inception of prank war, which is like regular war but more brutal. Also Kelly doesn't appreciate getting hit on by every male NPC, Matt is training a machine to kill, everyone learns a little bit about synthetic weed, and we discuss the business viability of a sex-robot blowjob cafe. Turns out we have more opinions on sex robots. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kell...

We start this week by putting Iceland on the list; they may have some pretty good beer but too many poets so we really had no choice. The gang also envisions a dystopian muppet world, Dave has a love for muscled heroes in tights, Kelly continues infuriating Norris with his Dragon Age saga, and everyone expresses their feelings about sexual sadism. Also, some Horizon: Zero Dawn, some plans on how t...

This week, Kelly brings a parental with him to discuss their plans for taking over youtube. It mostly just involves Kelly's mom dunking on him repeatedly. Also this week, Norris misplaced his subscription to shitty hipster quarterly, Kelly admits he's a wet, wet boy, Emery has a dark secret he needs to tell everyone, and we all agree The Italian Job is good. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt...

It's not racist if it's an accident, right? This week the gang starts by digging a metaphorical hole and never really finding a way to get out of it. We also decide ad-hoc to try and rank Zack Synder's entire film ouevre, make fun of Australians again, and Mike finds out who Blue Beetle is. Also in a very special segment this week the team learns a little something about what would happen if a GI...

The team only spits hot fyre this week, as the podcast boys announces their influencer roles for a hot new concert all the kids are talking about. There's also discussion on 40's as a gentrifying agent, going Apocalypse Now on semi-invisible robot dogs, throwing down against Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite, and agreeing that, if given the opportunity, you should always do acid while fighting Nazis with...

The gang remembers why they don't normally record on Sundays this episode, because they're all deeply broken people with absolutely nothing left in the tank by the end of the week. As such we discuss whether the podcast needs a wartime or peactime cicerone, heretical religious acts, and whether or not we can guess a beer's IBU. Norris plans a movie marathon, Kelly has romantic group activities for...

There's no need for any of that "video game" talk this week, since we all know video games are just a fad anyway. *This week* the gang asks the truly hard-hitting question: what was the best hair metal band of all time. We also discuss our teenage drinking habits, Mike totally ships Nolan North and Troy Baker, Dave realizes that he's also into giant robot dinosaurs, and Norris solves Hyrule. Then...

It's Intentional-Poisoning Day at Super Hopped-Up Hall, as the boys drink sugar-fied root beer drink before devising the best way to get a porn-beer-related sponsorship. Kelly starts a Dragon Age heresy, Norris is surprised that not everyone else just tortured their Sims, Mike enjoys the bitter tears of Hearthstone nerds, and Dave realizes he'll never find love in another shooter relationship. Hos...

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...
