Super Hopped-up

That Don, he really Maclunky'd it all up. This week the gang tries to explain Death Stranding, and we're pretty sure we totally get it. Matt also forces us to take a deep dive into Battletech lore, Jack wants people to play more Destiny 2 with, and Norris has a lot of feelings about Outer Worlds.

The "Mr. Dinner" bit wasn't even something we talked about during the episode, but it was definitely the funniest thing we said all night so I had to make it the title. Like, what if Mr. Noodle and Kraft Dinner made a food? It was funnier in person you had to be there. This week, we try to discern what people are saying about Death Stranding, figure out whether an ice-cream-based pokemon is made of ice cream or just made of meat that *looks* like ice cream, bitch about how we like Outer Worlds but just want to pick every possible knit we can about it, and start trying to figure out whether 2019 was a "good year" for video games.

The gang is dancing their way to Elysium this week, as most of us can't shut the hell up about how good Disco Elysium is. Dave and Norris also break open their feelings about Outer Worlds, Kelly is up in the spooky season with Dead by Daylight's new Halloween content, and Matt has fallen off of the wagon and deep, deep into some Battletech lore.

I don't want to explain it. We're all coming down from the heady excitement of Canadian politics, with a little detective noir this week. Unsurprisingly, most of the gang is completely enthralled with Disco Elysium. There's also some talk on Link's Awakening, as well as Kelly doing his best to horrify everyone with his recent games.

I unilaterally decided this week we were going to spend an hour talking about Canada's upcoming election. STRAP IN FOR POLITICS. Kelly also gives us an update on The Surge 2, for some reason Dave is still playing Far Cry 3, Bill is most certainly not aroused by Bloodstained, and Norris is losing his damn mind over Disco Elysium.

We spend an hour and talk about the dang Joker. Some other video game stuff at the end, but mostly it's just about that rascal The Joker. Turns out we have some divergent opinions on the movie, and we try to figure out why.

I don't know why but we talk a fair bit about Miss America this week. It, understandably, goes in some directions. Games are coming in wet and wild this time of year, and we're doing a very bad job of keeping up. Kelly and Dave let us know what's up in The Surge 2, Char is getting in the spook season with Dead by Daylight, and we detail how good the voice acting is for MK11's Terminator. We also detail the habits of that irascible goose, and Norris is going to solve the Judgement murder the only way he knows how: spending all his time at the arcade.

I dare you to tell me there's a difference. This week, Mike built a PC and is thus able to actually play Remedy's new game, Control. Seems to be good! Steph's playing some of the Link's Awakening, Dave is definitely not doing a genocide in Greedfall, and Norris wants us all to know that Playstation did a video thing. Also did you know you could buy Sega Genesis games on the Switch? NintenDOES do what Genesis..does...also.

Matt's back this week from the Toronto International Film festival, and he either has plenty of movies to tell us about or he made up a bunch of things that sound like possible art films, including 143 Sahara Road, Crazy World, and Gundala. Which of course ends up with us arguing about super hero movies again. We do eventually get into games this week; Dave wants us to know that everyone is bad in Greedfall; Kelly wants us to know that he doesn't know a damn thing about Catholicism, and Norris thinks Gremlins 2: Gremlins Take New York is an international treasure. Also Kelly wants to explain why he isn't playing Borderlands 3, and the words 'Rowdy Randy Pitchford' are uttered which is pretty good.

Prepping for our road trip down to the Area 51 raid next week. Can't wait to see you all there. This week, Norris is shocked at how uncompromisingly horny Dragon Quest Builders 2 is, Kelly declares his love for Banjo-Kazooie, Steph finally beat Persona 5, Mike is enjoying the masochism that is playing Sekiro, and Dave is getting his RPG on with Greedfall. Also we go through what was announced at last week's Nintendo Direct, which basically means Kelly got excited about Deadly Premonition 2 while the rest of us booed and threw garbage at him.

Listen, I just think it's dangerous to glamorize the life of a man who mutated all the fish in Gotham so that they'd look like him in order to copyright them and run Gotham's fish market. Is that the kind of person we want our kids watching? This week we have plenty of *twisted* tricks for each other, including discussing how everyone is losing their gosh dang minds over this Joker movie, discussing a bunch of new tv like The Boys, The Righteous Gemstones, and Succession. The best Joker's Trick a video game podcast can pull is to never talk about video games.

Fantasy names are all incredibly stupid, we will not be convinced otherwise. This week the gang and a special guest come together to talk about that hot 2010 film Inception, as well as WoW Classic, Fire Emblem's insistence that Blue Lions matter, Ion Fury's bad beliefs and worse humour, and a bunch of other stuff I can't recall.

We've got a special guest all the way in from the UK this week, world-ranked tabletop Blitz Bowl player and general gad-about Conor Rooney. We get weirdly deep into some of the latest Smash Bros Ultimate gossip, discuss a whole bunch of anime, and get into what's going on lately in tabletop miniatures. Also we try to parse just what the hell is going on about Spiderman between Sony and Disney, and also drink too much whisky.

Literally every podcast is having their brain melt over this, and ours is too. This week the gang discusses some completely implausible conspiracy theories, before settling back in to make fun of David's house in Fire Emblem. Norris and Matt also break down Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Norris likes GLOW, Dave's started watching some cool new show called Breaking Bad, and some teen-sex drama called Euphoria is destroying the last melting remnants of Matt's brain.

Listen: when you're right, you're right. We quickly threw together an episode while packing all of our EVO stuff, that's chock-full of fighting game prep, movie talk, and how unlike all the other systems our system is defintely going to break all the casinos. Also, Matt wants everyone to watch The Farewell, Dave needs a Mortal Kombat training partner, Steph disdain's Vancouver traffic, and Norris is brutally depressed. Something for everyone!

I mean, no director's been chosen yet but he's clearly the best possible choice. This week we're breaking down the ton of MCU news, deciding if these next films are going to be the ones that finally destroy the franchise. There's inevitably some EVO talk, and Kelly has some opinions about erotic fan fiction at the very end, so you'll have to listen to the whole episode to hear it.

Whether it's Wolfenstein making you believe everyone's a communist, Pokemon teaching you that nothing is permanent but death, or Assassin's Creed forcing you to realize the problem is your own damn self, video games give you brain worms folks. Mike and Steph join us this week from the land of endless northern sun, to discuss the hot new pokemon news. We also dish about Mario Maker 2, our Vegas plans, Steph's endless journey up Persona 5 mountain, Norris' endless fall down Assassin's Creed cliff, and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't remember as I type this out.

There's some good film talk this week, as Matt gushes about everyone's favourite new comedy, Midsommar. We also discuss some more Evo prep, Kelly's controversial opinions about Tetris, and just let Matt go off about movies that are older than your grandparents.

Makes us all feel good. This week Dave and Steph discuss their experience with the ghosts in Devotion. Norris talks about finishing up Evangelion, and also how so many video games he's playing these days has him stabbing bears, and Kelly has gone back into stress-playing Skyrim.
