Super Hopped-up

Finally, a chance to actually *see* what a podcast looks like. If you're reading this it means you probably missed it, but starting this week we're doing it live! Come listen to the podcast where we test out simultaneous livestreaming, one of those things were forcing ourselves to figure out now that we're all stuck inside our homes forever. If you missed viewing us in all our glory, you can still listen along as we discuss the new Animal Crossing, get some further thoughts into Doom Eternal, but mostly just vamp about how gorgeous we all look while lit up by the pale glow of our computer monitors.

We're all coming in remotely this week, and you can probably guess why. (Or if for some reason you're listening to this years later and society is still around, we're all looking out for that COVID drip, y'all.) This week, Norris being stuck indoors is making him very aware of his diet soda addiction. Meanwhile being indoors is making Kelly and Char very aware of their Dead by Daylight addiction. Everyone on the cast has a number of addictions, really, but we all knew that. There's some talk on Nioh 2 from Kelly, some DBZ Kakarot from Bill, some Yoshi's Wooly World from Steph, and some very middling opinions about Fire Emblem: 3 Houses from Norris. Also we discuss that insane rumour that Sony's going to buy the Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill franchises. Which, they won't, but let us dream the perfect dream.

Matt's back, and boy is he back on it. While we're all holed up in our gaming bunker due to the 7 different reasons why the world is about to end, we get into some classic RPGs, some new dirt on the latest Dead by Daylight update, and whether the boys in girls in Fire Emblem 3 Houses are worth saving.

You're not karaoke famous until you've got the teens going. The gang this week won't let Zika get them down, as they have some opinions about the Final Fantasy 7 demo they want to get out. Also some talk on Smash Bros, Kentucky Route Zero, and all the teens you shouldn't kiss in Fire Emblem 3 Houses.

While Norris is away on vacation to Somaliland, he had to desperately spin together an episode at the last minute. So in an act of shameless self-promotion, here is the latest episode of a Super Hopped-Up side project: Don’t Tread on Weebs!

I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a world where 1% of the hustlers are getting 99% of dat cheddar. This week, a group of old men sit together and reminisce about when their tastes were relevant. That includes, but certainly isn't limited to: their general taste in music, their feelings about the incoming Dragon Ball Fighterz updates, and their thoughts about the new Harley Quinn movie.

This week Norris tries not to talk about politics, we spend too much time talking about Jizz Wailing, which isn't what you think it is, and we draw a line in the sand between different kinds of vodka soda. We also really tease out our video game ranking system of "Buttons, Words, and Charts", which now has grown into a way to rate pretty much anything and everything.

Hot off the presses, we discuss the games announced for this year's EVO. Less hot off the presses, Matt lets us know he's been too busy playing poker to play video games. Dave and Mike are training in the hyperbolic time chamber in order to improve at Dragon Ball, but a secret villain seems to be getting in their way. Jack has too many video games and doesn't know what to do with them all. And Norris is realizing that much of his GOTY 2020 candidates are going to have come out 8 years ago. All this and Bernie Sanders won Iowa on this week's podcast!

All the people on the podcast who play Persona 5 are here, so we end up just playing 'Marry/Smooch/Kill' with all the main characters. There's also a bit on DC tv shows and Half Life 1 mods. But, mostly just Persona 5.

Lonely boy holiday, who up. It's, just, all my co-hosts have abandoned me. I really don't think I should be alone right now. (Star Wars discussion, including spoilers, from ~8:30 to 24:00. You've been warned!) Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: Dead Frog's Winter Beeracle Hosts: Chris Norris And Special Guest!? Intro/Outro Music by David Beebe

I mean, that young pope is *very* f*ckable. This week Matt's fallen once more off the wagon, Dave doesn't want to be a boutique spaceman, Bill's a video game slumlord, and Norris isn't feeling the Game Awards. There's also some good stuff about flatulists in here. Turns out british meritocracy *does* exist! Check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Beer of the Week: Heineken Lager Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Matt Emery, Bill McDonnell Intro/Outro Music by David Beebe

Dave's a 7/9, Jack's a solitary Yike, Steph doesn't clap when the plane lands, and Norris has a mental breakdown.

I kinda felt, in my heart of hearts, it was us. But you really can't compete with the likes of 'Ike Dichal' and 'Tod Bonzalez'. This week it's all about struggling in the face of adversity, as we struggle with modest turnout, zero games to talk about, and constant technical difficulties. It doesn't stop us from getting our homework done, though, as we run through The Game Awards nominees and give our votes for the definite winners.

Youtube content creators union now! This week, Kelly lets us know his backpack rap name is 'Relatively Unknown', we spend like a half hour discussing the tire fire that is online content creation platforms, and then like another half hour discussing fast food sandwiches. Kelly and Jack think the new Star Wars game is just okay, and Norris has some *opinions* about the ending of Death Stranding.

I didn't train for years to get my Jigglypuff competition-ready just so some guy can throw me off by kissing his sweetie in front of me. This week, we have our poke-experts Mike and Steph come in to let us know what's going on in Galar. Turns out, people are pissed off about pokemon? Also this week, Norris only cares about rebuilding highways, Dave needs all these competitive Smash Bros players to stop being so emotionally supportive, and Matt wants us all to remember how Lithuania's Men's Basketball team won Bronze in the 1992 Olympics.
