Hopped-Up Gaming: East

It's time to wrap up 2025! The HUGE Crew has been playing the best games of last year, and now it's time to argue about them! Buckle up! Beer Featured: Ain't nobody got time for that! It's GOTY season!

Hello there! It's been a while since we've done a Game of the Year podcast! Why don't we gather The HUGE Crew around the microphones and cobble together a list of good games from 2025? Beer Featured: Ain't nobody got time for that! It's GOTY season!

Back from their aestival turned autumnal slumber, the HUGE Crew are back in front of the mics to bring the world up to speed on what they've been doing, and what they've got cooking for GOTY 2025. Games Discussed: - Silent Hill f - Strange Antiquities - Hades 2 - Peak - Switch 2 - Sunderfolk - Seance At Blake Manor - Silksong - ... and at least a couple others I forgot to write down. Like what you...

Hey, at least we got the number right this time!

Don't believe anything you might hear, this is totally episode 547. Yes sir. 546? Who told you that? Well whoever it was, they were lying.

Surprise! It's an episode do late we thought it was lost forever... until it wasn't! Pardon our dust as this one has been hiding in the depths of an external hard drive for a while so the takes may not be as hot off the presses as you've come to expect from the HUGE Crew! Topic's Discussed: Propeller Arcade Gooners and/or Gooning Mickey 17 Gundam GQuuuuuX Monster Hunter Wilds The Expanse

The gang finally managed to get another BG3 Day on the books, so you know what that means! They recorded an in person podcast first! Matt speculates on Magic, Ben has been Sleeping on his Citizen duties (again), Evan has Avowed to leave his barbaric ways behind and ponder his grimoire, and Tim gets down with the Rift(ness) of the Necrodancer! Beer Discussed: Bounty Hunter Imperial Stout by Bellwoo...

Well. it's been a while since I (Matthew) have recorded and edited one of these podcasts! Turns out, I'm a bit out of practice cause I goofed up and recorded everyone's audio to my track! Sorry about the dubious quality this week! I promise it'll be better next time! As for things you can expect to hear about on this episode, you can look forward to learning about Nosferatu, Netrunner, The Roottre...

Prompt: Get all the members of The HUGE Crew (Ben, Matt, Evan, Tim, and Dylan) to record a podcast. On the podcast they can talk about things like beer and video games. They should focus on having a disucssion about the best games that they played in the year 2024. Make sure it's light and cheerful conversation, nothing too serious or sad. They can goof around a bit, but make sure the visual gags...

Pay no attention to any in episode mentions of when this may or may not have been recorded. Any indications that this was recorded several months ago are purely co-incidental.  GOTY recordings to come soon, stay tuned! Beer's Discussed: An Assortment of local pumpkin beers 

Summer has taken us hostage, this is our proof-of-life recording.

After several weeks probing the depths of other tropey trek episodes, the HUGE Crew have returned to settle their unfinished business from our season opener. How many of these two parters will stick the landing? Will this prove a worthwhile endeavour, or would we all be better off if these episodes got blasted by a Krenim timeship? And most importantly, how many lights will they see?   Episodes Di...

Ben, Tim, and the rest of the crew hop in our time machines and travel to 1968, 2022, and 2024 to follow the temporal hijinx of various Starfleet officers that just so happen to find themselves sent back in time to the exact time and place that the episodes themselves are being filmed, what a fortuitous coincidence! So grab some street meat, head to #10 Forward St, and watch out for sentient space...

Lots of TV shows have their horny episodes, but Trek has got that special brand of WEIRDLY HORNY that involves reading particulary erotic sections of your grandmother's diary and getting friendzoned by your holographic crush who fell for your therapist instead. Oh, and don't forget about getting so outrageously horny you decide to murder your boss in blind rage. This weeks episodes: TOS - Amok Tim...

Kept you waiting, huh? Yeah, sorry about that! The good news is that these Trek Tropes episodes are all recorded, edited, and scheduled, so your next four episodes will for sure come out on time and on schedule. Or, if Ben screws up, they might ALL be available right now! In this first episode of our second round of Trek Tropes, Ben, Tim, and the crew discuss the first parts of several major Trek...

Co-Captains Ben and Tim are here to chat about what they played, watched, and read this week, but more importantly, to announce Season 2 of Trek Tropes! They did it once, and by god they're going to do it again! If you want to watch along at home, the assigned trope for next episode is "TWO PARTERS: PART 1", and your episodes to watch are: Chain of Command  Pt 1 (TNG-S6E10) In Purgatory's Shadow (...

RED ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! BEN HAS FALLEN OF THE DESTINY 2 SOBRIETY WAGON AGAIN! In lieu of flowers, please send a Buried Bloodline exotic sidearm to MadMaritimer#4486. Beer Discussed: Banished Brewing's Space Puffin NEIPA Propeller Brewing's Southbound IPA

We're operating on a skeleton crew this week as only Ben and Tim have answered the call to record. They start strong with a dangerously large pour and a stupendously strong IPA, and end perhaps inevitably, on a full blown rant about the 3 Body Problem books. If a host isn't using his podcast as pseudo therapy, is he even podcasting?

In this definitely not delayed (we're sorry) episode, Evan, Tim, and Ben gather around the microphones for a laid back Regular Show (TM). Evan talks some more about his addiction to clearing open world objectives in FFVII Rebirth, Ben sells the gang on Dragon's Dogma 2, and Tim pitches an absolute acid trip of a movie called Destroy All Neighbors!

Buckle up, it's time for another HUGE BOYS BOOK CLUB! It took a couple of weeks, but we finally managed to get everyone to finish Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, so now we're gonna talk about the whole dang game this week!

It's a new episode of the podcast that is out on the day it's supposed to come out! This one is still hot from the podcasting oven, so enjoy it while it's fresh! Next week we'll REALLY be back with our first Book Club of the year, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice!

After a brief and not-entirely-intended hiatus, the HUGE Crew returns (with Evan in tow!) to talk about what they've been playing and watching and doing and drinking this week. There's a whole bunch of catching up to do on this one, so what are you reading this for? Dive right in! Next week we'll be back with our first Book Club of the year, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice!

I think we need to reset Google. Sometimes when you use the search function, unexpected things show up in the results... Anyhoo! Come join Ben, Tim, Matt, and Evan for another lively podcast about beer, video games, flesh pits, Halloween drinks, and more!  

I'm not late, you're late! It's just Ben and Tim against the hordes of unclean bugs and facist robots this week, as Ben does his best Helldivers 2 recruitment pitch. Tim also waxes nostalgic for a game that both has and hasn't happened yet as the guys discuss their hopes and dreams for FFFVII Rebirth when it launches next week. Beer Discussed: Crafty Radler, from Pumphouse Martock IPA, from School...

This week on the podcast, Matt tests the gang's video game trivia knowledge in order to find out once and for all who are the REAL GAMERS, and who are the NORMIES. Come listen to find out how Ben, Tim, and Dylan fare in this earth shattering challenge!
