Hopped-Up 64

Norris is currently on vacation in Europe and refuses to let anyone else host, so we had to record some stuff in advance to make sure we can fill the episode gaps. So enjoy our Ranking of the Games of the Month!

Yes. Very much still yes.

This week we let Matt go absolutely sicko mode about Stellaris, while Dave goes a little sicko mode himself on Diablo 4. Norris is already a sicko, he needs no outside help.

It's really more of a market.

This week the gang talks about the inexorable shambling towards the grave, and then Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! We also dig a bit into how sports are weird, and sport fandom is inherently paradoxical and designed to make us sad but we'll never stop.

We got a packed tent this week, as we talk about beer, Zelda, boomer shooters, and the crippling pain of existence!

You'd think when we've got so many people on the pod we'd have a coherent topic but you'd be wrong; this is definitely a freestyle jazz kind of episode but hey we had fun.

This week the gang regales everyone of their time down in Olympia Washington, where they got the absolute crap kicked out of them at a Warhammer 40K tournament. It's Fear and Loathing at the Miniatures Table!

We also at the end talk a little about how good Tears of the Kingdom is. We should probably do an episode on that game at some point, huh.

This week the gang is getting deep into the B-sides, with our game of the month being Cassette Beasts!

We discuss this pokemon-like, what we liked, how to break it, and a bunch of spoiler-y details.

Also, next month's game of the month is the boomer shooter king, Dusk!

Listen, Link needs to do *something* to get those rupees in. Might as well be war crimes.

This week, the gang joins up with a special guest, Fake-British tabletop nerd Conor Rooney, to talk about Tears of the Kingdom, Civ 6, Casette Beasts, Darkest Dungeon, some Warhammer 40K, and the current state of video game remakes.
