Super Hopped-up

This is the not-nice half of our annual GOTY Double-header. Hatsune Miku. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: BYOB Music by Sebastian Bender

This is the nice half of our annual GOTY Double-header. In this section every member of the team comes with their favourite individual lists of games they played in 2017. We gush about what we liked, and it's a real feel-goodery. *Next week* is when we sharpen our knives and try to kill each-other's favourite virtual children, in the process of determining our overall game of the year. Also, Mike realizes that he needs to "Git Gud", Matt forgets that the name John isn't the same as Matt, David discovers the hidden secret of the name "Fortnite", Kelly isn't on his first MMO rodeo, and Norris shockingly enough still loves indie games. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: BYOB Music by Sebastian Bender

*Hey y'all, sorry if you get this podcast via RSS, and it's late. We had a really great name for the episode, but it might have been too hot for our host and I think it got taken down. Whoops! Don't worry if you listen you'll be able to figure out what the original title was.* This week, most of the gang admits that they don't know how to drive and that's okay. They also test out some Khlav Kalash, decide whether or not anime representations of world war 2 are historically accurate, and let loose their opinions about mythical muscles on the male body. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Twin Sails Brewing's Biere de Crabe Music by Sebastian Bender

To start this week off, we discuss the Do's and Don'ts of morning wakeup strategies. Turns out everyone does it differently. We also discuss lame things to heist, Matt describe's his new favourite TV show as "The Wire with cum", and Mike thinks Charlie Hebdo shouldn't make fan updates of Crusader Kings 2. There's some love for Italian plumbers, too. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Trading Post Brewing's Capt. Cooper's Tart Cranberry Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Quick, how many 90's baseball films can *you* remember? This week, we warm up by trying to figure out the best Mario-related sports product, before settling in to spend 40-ish minutes giving out our feelings on the new Justice League. Turns out? Not huge fans. Justice League spoilers go from 19:20 to 50:00-ish, but honestly what manner of person actually has deep feelings about the sanctity of their Justice League viewing? Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Coors Banquet Birthday Beers Music by Sebastian Bender

Also Dave's grumpy about Halloween, he's also changing his name to 'E-sports', Norris realizes his orc friends are fair-weather at best, and Kelly is sad his food paste got banned from Canada.

But first Dave lets us know his feelings on Final Fantasy: Kingsglaive, Mike's been playing some free PSPlus games, Matt made his own SNES Classic purely out of spite, and Kelly remains on his Destiny bullshit. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Tofino Brewery's Blonde Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

This week, the gang decides that pewdiepie's gotten too big for his britches, and they're the *only ones* who can end his reign of terror. By idly and impotently discussing the latest stupid, racist thing he's done while simultaneously making fun of Sweden. But also, Happy Destiny 2 week y'all! We here at the Destinyfa clan would like you to know that we're currently enlisting! Are you tired of people who just don't know when to pop their ult? Who confuse a heroic public event for a patrol? If so, then stay the *hell* away from our clan, because we honestly don't know what we're doing! Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Anchor Brewing's Anchor Steam Beer Music by Sebastian Bender

To be sure, it's not that we at Supper Hopped-Up are *Pro* cult, we're more cult-adjacent. This week we decode the Anti-Fap riddle, planning the constitution for our flat leadership-structured Destiny 2 clan, and which fantasy gods would be down to party. Matt also discusses to us his arduous journey of self-discovery completing Pillars of Eternity, Norris discusses hammering nerds at PAX West, and we lay down our opinions on the topic everyone's talking about: furry communities banning nazi regalia. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Martens Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

This week starts with some honest discussion on circular self-love, and kind of just devolves into a deep dark pit for a while. We get out of it though with some good beer, brought to us by nepotism! Also this week Dave's at the helm of the intergalactic bang bus, Kelly plans a hostile takeover of our future Destiny 2 clan, and Norris loves the shadows in his heart. Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, David Beebe, Kelly Parker Beer of the Week: Two Wolves Brewing Co. Arctic Blonde Ale & Great Plains Brown Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Gather 'round all and I'll tell you a tale. A tale of an adorable miniature console and the planet it destroyed. There's first some bad poetry and sci fi. But for real at the day of recording was the day the SNES Classic went up for pre-order. And it was an absolute *nightmare.* Blood on the streets. A massacre. Also Diablo 3, Injustice 2, and idly discussing a new Nidhogg tournament. A new champion must be crowned! Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, Kelly Parker Beer of the Week: Twa Dogs Brewery's Melodie Raspberry Kölsch Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang finally bends the knee this week to Game of Thrones fandom, where despite our best efforts we talk about this latest season. Dave also throws down against Baby Driver, Mike swears he knows Star Wars, and Norris is super excited about a Batman movie marathon. Also even *more* Zelda: Breathe of the Wild talk, and we all decide the phrase "Penis Parker" is hilarious. Oh hey, also! There's going to be a counterprotest in Vancouver this coming Saturday - Aug. 19th - at City Hall, protesting against a group of chinless wastes who are holding an anti-Muslim protest. If you want to help stand against racism you can come out and join some members of SHU, who will be attending the counter-protest! http://bit.ly/2vCL0PI Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Hollows and Fentimans Fermented Ginger Beverage Music by Sebastian Bender

The boys are in the house this week, as we try to decide which Cory would make the best final boss. Also discussed, pivoting the podcast from video games to sex gear, before deciding video games may actually be the grosser topic. Also: Hearthstone expansions, Valve's new game announcement, reality television, Resident Evil, Persona 5, Pyre, and sexual exploitation in the game industry. One of those may be different than the others. Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of last Week: Spinnakers Juice Monkey Tropical IPA Music by Sebastian Bender
