Hopped-Up 64

Boxes on boxes on boxes on boxes! Boxes! We dig in deep this week about Patrick's Parabox, a block-puzzler that we all fell in love with. But also some talk about Norris going to war with his bank, and the pregnant Padme lego figure in the latest Star Wars Lego game.

This week the crew talks about someone buying a Funko Pop for 6 figures, steam player statistics, the puzzle video game market, and some Deep Video Game Market Analysis. Also some Citizen Sleeper, Rogue Legacy 2, Patrick's Parabox, and some other stuff I'm forgetting as I write this.

It's not *technically* illegal. This week the gang becomes fascinated by Corona's 0.0% alcohol beer, the Sunbrew. We also talk a lot more about Warhammer 40: Chaos Gate Daemon Hunter, Norris tries to convince Dave to get a PS5, and then we all get in a leaky submersible in an ocean of blood, with Iron Lung.

That's true of pretty much every video game. This week we talk about beer, and specifically whether or not it's okay to put sulfur in it. We also dig into a bunch of video games, with Norris wrapping up Demon's Souls, Jack getting close to wrapping up Elden Ring, and Matt jumping into box-shaped universes with Patrick's Parabox. There's also de-facto reviews for Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate-Daemon Hunters, Rogue Legacy 2 and Citizen Sleeper in here. Spoilers: they're pretty good!

The squad talks up and talks down The Artful Escape in this month's Games Club, a pretty, infuriating story-focused platformer about a kid who wants to fight his uncle.

This week, people make fun of Norris, before we dig deep into comparing Demon's Souls and Elden Ring. We also talk about that hot new game Earthbound, before ending the ep by making fun of Warhammer 40K. Overall a good sesh.

None of the gang have played much other than Elden Ring this week, so we veer off into weird territory and discuss which Smash Bros character would be the best wartime general. Link to the Smash Festival Picture we talk about for the whole latter half of the pod can be found here: https://imgur.com/rbUlrmx Beer of the Week: Quarantine Beers Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, Steph Fan, Jack Shirai Music by David Beebe (@norwegianvowels)

Don't listen to doctors, it's true. This week the gang drinks some canned cocktails and talks about Divinity Original Sin 2. Also there's some more Elden Ring, and some games from the indie game group Sokpop Collective.

It's Game Club this week, where we discuss King of Dragon Pass! Hang out as we had on down to the Dragon Pass, make friends with the nearest duck tribe, and try to figure out just how bad things are going to be when one of your cows births a two-headed calf!

This week we debrief on the Oscars, talk about high-level Risk strategies, and admit that some of us are only ever going to be playing Elden Ring from here on out.
