Super Hopped-up

Who knows what they could be hatching up there. PLOTS. SCHEMES. Matt's back this week to regale us of stories from the land of the Rising Sun. Did you know they had giant robots? And suicidal legumes? Steph starts the long hard road to deciding her waifu. Norris hates FF15 almost as much as he hates the fact that he's definitely going to finish it. Mike believes that stealth has no place in Spider(man)'s life. We also discuss the details of Telltale Games destruction, and why everyone wants to put the bone into a Lady Bowser. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Drink of the Week: Philip's Daredevil Orange Cream Soda Music by Sebastian Bender

It's so hard not to, though. This week, there's a comparison between World of Warcraft and Fyrefest, an exposé into the illicit world of Puff Puff, and some further feelings about being all that a Spider can. Also, lists on lists on lists! Do you like people rattling off the names of video games? Then do we have a news segment for you! Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Sleeman Honey Brown Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

It's been a long time coming. This week the gang dishes out on Spider-Man and Dragon's Quest 11. I don't want to spoil anything but they might be pretty good. A new segment is also introduced this week, in which the gang rationally and calmly discusses people and topics from the last week that bears some sober analysis. We're calling it the bullet list. Turns out we had a lot of bullets to give this week so we didn't end up getting to any of the questions we received from the discord. Don't worry, we'll get to them next week! Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Howe Sound's Pumpkineater Imperial Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

There are specific moves you need to do right, or you just look silly. This week we all agree that video games shouldn't be in the Olympics. We also agree that gamers shouldn't be allowed outside. We agree on a lot of things. We answer a bunch of questions from the Discord, agree that Henry Cavill is a fuck-boi, and discuss the recent controversy of Riot Games at Pax West. David needs you to know Jack Ryan and Jack Reacher are different. Norris believes podcast talk can't be submitted as evidence in a court of law. Mike and Steph admit that Don't Starve Together is going to destroy their relationship. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Russell Brewing's Punch Bowl Mango IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

It wasn't even a fair question. This week your favourite husbandos debate the finer points of weed vaping, Overwatch free weekends, and the best Dead Cells builds. We declare that every character in Soul Calibur is very normal, and discuss Nintendo's latest indie releases. Kelly has opinions about cartoon women; Norris also has opinions on cartoon women; David wishes there would be less opinions about cartoon women. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Mariner Brewing's Northeast IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

This week, Dave tries to teach us what mumble rap is, Norris tries to teach us that everyone has the same genitalia, Kelly tries to explain the racial theory of World of Warcraft, and Steph regrets becoming the newest member of the team. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Steph Fan, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Kirin Ichiban Music by Sebastian Bender

There's a full roundtable this week, as we all attempt to summon some dark elder god from the vaguely-racist-sounding dark realm. Holey Moley we talking *games* this week! With Kelly and Mike trying to kill the rest of the team with details on the World of Warcraft expansion, Char laments the loss of Kelly to aforementioned World of Warcraft, and everyone decides that youtube celebrities just aren't worth saving. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Michael Parker, Charlene Bayer, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Big Rock Brewery's Bellyflop Apricot Grisette Music by Sebastian Bender

Live from the heat of Vegas, it's the full extended SHU Crew! While we are live from our hotel room during the height of EVO 2018, we decided to crowd around a single room microphone and record our feelings about the tournament, detail how our competitors did, and give some general feelings about how Las Vegas is just too damn hot. Also discussed are our feelings about some upcoming fighting games we got a chance to try, and we discuss some of the non-gaming debauchery we've gotten up to, including the nightmare that was our time at the Heart Attack Grill. (If by some miracle this is your first time listening to us, I swear to christ the audio usually sounds much better, but it's hard when you have one mic in a hotel room with eight people!) Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Michael Parker, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Benjamin Parker, Bill McDonnell Beer of the Week: Big Dog's Brewing Co.'s Las Vegas Craft Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

There's a moment in this episode where it kind of gets away from us, and I'd like to say we brought it back but that's just not true. This week, Dave honestly weighs his Vegas odds, Kelly is worried about the Night Elves, Norris converts to fast rolling, and Matt has some pointed questions about everyone maintaining their essences. Hosts: Norris, David, Kelly, Matt Beer of the Week: Coal Harbour's Beer Connoisour Sour Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang gets into a heated argument about the sexiest mythological creatures, before opening up the erotic DnD handbook and then soon after regretting opening up the erotic DnD handbook. Also this week, we go into Matt's Movie Corner to see his latest picks and flicks, Norris wants everyone to play Prey, Kelly wants everyone to play World of Warcraft, and Dave is getting some practice at the locals before we all head off to EVO. Hosts: Norris, David, Kelly, Matt Beer of the Week: Steamwork's Summer Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

There's no video game news. There's no new video games we've played. There's nothing left but us trying to decide what's worse between cops and Yelp reviewers. Also this week Mike and Kelly wants to build a WoW army, Dave wants to lose at Evo, and Norris still misses his anime friends. Hosts: Norris, David, Kelly, Mike Beer of the Week: Vancouver Island Brewing's Victoria Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

Magic is in the heart of the cards this week as the gang argues Digimon vs Yugioh, Mike is informed why living a hundred years ago would suck, and we all then turn our chairs around, sit in them backwards, and have a "rap session" about society. Matt teaches an XCOM class, Mike beat a boss, Dave is going 0-6 at EVO, and Norris misses his anime friends. Hosts: Norris, David, Matt, Mike Beer of the Week: Phantom Beer's Mind Fuzz IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

We don't even really talk about it during the podcast but Kelly doesn't like the movie Aliens and I'm using this entire episode description to shame him for it. Hosts: Norris, David, Matt, Kelly Beer of the Week: Coal Harbour Brewing's Blabber Mouth Dryhopped Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

We start this episode with Mike trying to get out of his wifely Zelda duties, in a conversation that makes sense to us but probably nobody else. This week it's all about beers that kind of sound like genitalia, fun facts about eastern European nations, and an after-action report from our XCOM generals in the fight against alien bastards. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike, Matt, Kelly Beer of the Week: Urpiner Exclusive 16 Music by Sebastian Bender

I think we've decided vapes are cool now, folks. This week the guys try and fail to figure out how much money they've spent on Steam, try to find out if apples have gluten in them, and give some final thoughts on E3. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike Cider of the Week: Picker's Hut Premium Handcrafted Cider Music by Sebastian Bender

Hey. It's E3 week. Did you hear about the games. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike, Matt Beer of the Week: A bunch of Unlabeled Beers Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang gets together and discusses their various E3 beliefs and rumours. And by that, I of course mean they discuss which video game character is most likely secretly addicted to blow. It's not who you think! Everyone discusses how excited they are about all the battle royale games that are gonna get announced next week, Norris got hacked, Kelly is learning to hate his uppity son, Dave just wants his anime girls to get in the mech. Hosts: Norris, Kelly, David Beer of the Week: Young's Double Chocolate Stout Music by Sebastian Bender

Norris is sick, almost everyone else is off playing fight games, we have no beer, just a random assortment of found liquor in the fridge; morale remains high. This week Kelly and Norris discuss David Cage's feelings about Androids, Norris details his tentative first steps into his Dark, Dark Souls, and discuss what they're going to do when they finally get released from Vault 76. Drink of the Week: Some random assortment of crap from the fridge Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright Music by Sebastian Bender

Welcome to the Joint Operations Task Force soldier. You ready to get higher than you've ever gone?
