Super Hopped-up

We talk about a lot of film this week. Trigger warning preface, we bring up Bryan Singer (an existential trigger warning of a person), and he's (allegedly) done some bad stuff and really needs to go. There's also a lot of discussion on how the hell the Academy Awards work, we dig deep into the state of horror films these days, and also bring up the latest weird shit EA has been doing, including the ghost release of Apex Legends, and the confusing pre-release of Anthem. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Old Yale Brewing's The Valley Double Fresh Hop Farmhouse Music by Sebastian Bender

The hot new Netflix and Chill that the kids are all into. This week the gang continues being spooky, with some more thoughts on new Resident Evil 2, some *new* thoughts on old Resident Evil 7, and some eternal frustrations about anime. There's a lot of anime talk this week, actually. A degenerate amount, even. Also: Norris wants to crush capitalism with his adorable imaginary friends, Steph wants to join a hero academy, Dave wants to get back into some good ol' Kombat, and Kelly's wondering if he wants to sing that Anthem. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Whistler Brewing's Chestnut Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Due to a big-business snafu we somehow managed to get RE2 early this week, so we're piping out our feelings on it before the officially, doctor-prescribed time. There's some zombie talk this week, be it in Racoon City, on the Island of Memories, or just discussing how the characters in Steph's Persona 5 playthrough are doing. We also shit-talk the Pinkertons this week, express our concern at a beer with Tom Green's face on it, and give a heartfelt shoutout to this past week's hbomberguy stream, which managed to raise over $300K for Mermaids, a charity that helps trans youth in UK. Trans rights are human rights y'all, and fuck the folks who think different. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Tom Green Cherry Milk Stout Music by Sebastian Bender

We discuss what we remembered from health class this week, and it turns out there might still be some lessons to learn! Kelly also did a good job of poisoning us this week, by giving us a beer so strong we had no choice but to get drunk. Steph's been spending some nights in the wood, Kelly's been tuning up his racing whip, Dave needs you to know that DOA is for discrete gentlemen, and Norris put on the goggles and won't ever take them off. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Vancouver Island Brewing's Hermannator Ice Bock Music by Sebastian Bender

It's the true 'Nick at Night' over here. There's some good film talk, there's some video game discussion, Norris gets upset about our 2018 Game of the Year list, but most importantly we play the game that's sweeping the nation: Nickelodeon, or Porn? Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Matt Emery, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Remnant Beers from the Fridge Music by Sebastian Bender

It's that fighting time of year! Where everyone at the SHU crew dons their Gi's, fills their boxing gloves full of rolls of pennies, tapes razor blades to their headbands, and gets ready for a good ol' video game donnybrook. GAME OF THE YEAR. If you're new to our format, we do this in 2 parts. Part 1 is going to be the team going around and discussing their individual favourites of the year, usually (but not always) in the form of a Top 10 list. All games that make one of our personal top ten lists gets put into a single group, which we then at the end FIGHT TO THE DEATH to decide which goes on and which gets knocked off our top ten list. It's like the Royal Rumble but with equally as much sweating and cursing. If you want to listen to both parts just start at the beginning, but if you want to hear us go at it to determine our Group Top 10 you should start listening around the 2:13:00 mark. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Charlene Bayer, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker, Steph Fan Beer of the Week: Various Fightin

Happy holidays y'all! None of us are around to podcast! So we recorded a holiday 'Questionable Questions' spectacular! We go through a number of questions provided by our beloved discord, though admittedly not all of the asked questions, as we mire ourselves in digression. Some good questions include, but are not limited to: what our TED Talks would be about! How our various body parts would rate the latest Smash Bros characters! And what is or isn't a sandwich! Also some good talk on how the Metal Gear Marathon almost kills us every year, but we do it because we love it so damn much. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Char, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Unibroue Blanche de Chamblay White Beer Music by Sebastian Bender

With the holiday's coming up, we're rounding out the season with some last minute gaaaaaaame discussion. And also machine-led pleasure. We also discuss the Kingdom Hearts 3 leak, how wild 2B is in Soul Calibur 6, and if people should be allowed to copyright a dance. RIP Super Best Friends. Y'all will be missed. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Charlene Bayer, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Stanley Park Brewing Layer Up Winter Wheat Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

This week, the gang debriefs the Metal Gear Marathon, sells their soul to Satan beer, and has an open conference on all the new characters they expect in Smash Bros. Kelly's confused about Beyond Good and Evil 2, Dave wants to live under the sea, Matt wants to live away from 21 Pilots, and Norris wants to live in a world without youtube influencers. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Matt Emery, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: De Block's Satan Red Music by Sebastian Bender

We're all in a tizzy prepping for the Metal Gear Marathon, so this week we decide to talk about some Real Life Enfants Terribles: that's right folks it's all about CRISPR babies. Also Steph is becoming a real Metal Gear Woman, Matt loves the Coen Brothers, Dave trusts the old blood, and Norris bought a breathalyzer.

The gang just talks about cars for like 20 minutes today, before we get into some discusiion on our pre-Metal Gear Marathon jitters, and then pretending to know why old british tv frame rate ruined the playstation classic. There's also some talk about Fallout 76. I dunno none of us played it. Is it any good? Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Granville Island Mocha Porter Music by Sebastian Bender

On this week's Chuckle Corner, we've got Dave, Lord help him, getting back on his DC bullshit, Kelly's got another date with Destiny, Norris has officially pulled a heel-turn on Red Dead Redemption 2, and Matt has us all realize that there are too many damn movies to watch.

The gang learns this week that one should never have to say the words "My Aquaman Tattoo." We may spend way too long talking about great/horrible tattoos as well, followed by great/horrible Shrek impressions. The only thing better than listening to people talk about tattoos, I've been told, is listening to people attempt impressions. So, you're welcome. There's also some video game stuff too, as we discuss improving our cooking to feed the devil, Vancouver's Fan Expo, getting some Titanfall skins down at the B-Dub, how Owlboy is really pretty, a whale-oil-based economy is impractical, and Acclaim had the best PR of all time. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Off The Rails Brewing Eastbound Nutbrown Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

This week the gang drinks a hefty, sea-based beer, and argue the pros and cons of talking Pokemon. The gang's parents are all very proud. A lot of video games get brought up this week, With Steph updating everyone on her efforts to date older video game women (Persona 5), Norris stating his growing ambivalence towards riding horses into trees (Red Dead Redemption 2), Mike trying to find out why all his neighbours are growing tentacles (Call of Cthulhu), and Dave finally telling his son he loves him (God of War).

It's not gross, honestly. It's a medical term. Everyone learns some new words this week. We decide that the Chosen Undead is a comrade while The Doom Guy is pure libertarian. We imagine what a remake of The Thing starring only Seth Rogen would look like. And we really dig into Dave's growing salt pile. All this and more on a podcast about video games.
