Hopped-Up 64

I mean, that young pope is *very* f*ckable. This week Matt's fallen once more off the wagon, Dave doesn't want to be a boutique spaceman, Bill's a video game slumlord, and Norris isn't feeling the Game Awards. There's also some good stuff about flatulists in here. Turns out british meritocracy *does* exist!

Dave's a 7/9, Jack's a solitary Yike, Steph doesn't clap when the plane lands, and Norris has a mental breakdown.

I kinda felt, in my heart of hearts, it was us. But you really can't compete with the likes of 'Ike Dichal' and 'Tod Bonzalez'. This week it's all about struggling in the face of adversity, as we struggle with modest turnout, zero games to talk about, and constant technical difficulties. It doesn't stop us from getting our homework done, though, as we run through The Game Awards nominees and give our votes for the definite winners.

Youtube content creators union now! This week, Kelly lets us know his backpack rap name is 'Relatively Unknown', we spend like a half hour discussing the tire fire that is online content creation platforms, and then like another half hour discussing fast food sandwiches. Kelly and Jack think the new Star Wars game is just okay, and Norris has some *opinions* about the ending of Death Stranding.

I didn't train for years to get my Jigglypuff competition-ready just so some guy can throw me off by kissing his sweetie in front of me. This week, we have our poke-experts Mike and Steph come in to let us know what's going on in Galar. Turns out, people are pissed off about pokemon? Also this week, Norris only cares about rebuilding highways, Dave needs all these competitive Smash Bros players to stop being so emotionally supportive, and Matt wants us all to remember how Lithuania's Men's Basketball team won Bronze in the 1992 Olympics.

That Don, he really Maclunky'd it all up. This week the gang tries to explain Death Stranding, and we're pretty sure we totally get it. Matt also forces us to take a deep dive into Battletech lore, Jack wants people to play more Destiny 2 with, and Norris has a lot of feelings about Outer Worlds.

The "Mr. Dinner" bit wasn't even something we talked about during the episode, but it was definitely the funniest thing we said all night so I had to make it the title. Like, what if Mr. Noodle and Kraft Dinner made a food? It was funnier in person you had to be there. This week, we try to discern what people are saying about Death Stranding, figure out whether an ice-cream-based pokemon is made of ice cream or just made of meat that *looks* like ice cream, bitch about how we like Outer Worlds but just want to pick every possible knit we can about it, and start trying to figure out whether 2019 was a "good year" for video games.

The gang is dancing their way to Elysium this week, as most of us can't shut the hell up about how good Disco Elysium is. Dave and Norris also break open their feelings about Outer Worlds, Kelly is up in the spooky season with Dead by Daylight's new Halloween content, and Matt has fallen off of the wagon and deep, deep into some Battletech lore.

I don't want to explain it. We're all coming down from the heady excitement of Canadian politics, with a little detective noir this week. Unsurprisingly, most of the gang is completely enthralled with Disco Elysium. There's also some talk on Link's Awakening, as well as Kelly doing his best to horrify everyone with his recent games.

I unilaterally decided this week we were going to spend an hour talking about Canada's upcoming election. STRAP IN FOR POLITICS. Kelly also gives us an update on The Surge 2, for some reason Dave is still playing Far Cry 3, Bill is most certainly not aroused by Bloodstained, and Norris is losing his damn mind over Disco Elysium.
