Hopped-Up 64

He may not have always had a great track record with dogs, but it really looks like he turned it around. This week, half the team went and saw John Wick 3 (that Keanu Reeves dance movie everyone's gushing about), and they try to explain to the rest what exactly John Wick is about. Also, Steph refuses to apologize for not playing Persona 5, Matt has an endless list of movies he wants to talk about, Kelly is stress-binging Divinity: Original Sin 2, Mike really wants us to believe the Yukon isn't a hell-hole, and Norris is the proud owner of a tooth shrine. Drink of the Week: Spinnakers Peach Paradise Hefe Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Music by Sebastian Bender

We watched Detective Pikachu; it was kind of terrible when the cop Pikachu shocked those protesting water pokemon. We go through the wildness that is Detective Pikachu this week, before witnessing the insanity that is angry internet misogynist's fan edit of Avengers Endgame. We detail the Kid Goku DLC for DBZ FighterZ, go into some further details about the secret depravity in Stardew Valley, and confirm that there's no way FF7 Remake is ever coming out. Detective Pikachu Spoilers: 27:00 - 30:40 Drink of the Week: Parallel 49's Hillbilly Ninja Hazy Pale Ale Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Bill McDonnell Music by Sebastian Bender

Well, it happened everyone. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over. It's done. No more Marvel movies ever again. I can't believe they killed off everyone. We're talking nothing but hot, spoiler-y details about Avengers: Endgame this week, as we go over our feelings on the culmination of 10 years of godlessly expensive film-making. We discuss what we liked, what we loved, what we weren't so hot on, and everything in-between! Drink of the Week: Lonetree Cranberry Apple Cider Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Char Bayer, Kelly Wright Music by Sebastian Bender

It seems like everyone is either just getting back from, or just heading out to, some sort of vacation. Dave confirms for us that ex-pats in Thailand are scum, Norris confirms that tourists at Disneyland are scum, and Steph mostly has good things to say about the Yukon. Dave also gives us the details on Mortal Kombat 11, Char lets us know how much she's enjoying Backbone, and we all try to figure out if that Sonic movie was a group lucid dream or is actually real. Beer of the Week: Tiger Beer Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Char Bayer, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Music by Sebastian Bender Warning: MK11 Story Spoilers: 56:08 to 56:30

Norris is really tired this week, so let's keep this synopsis short: Kelly likes Risk of Rain 2, Char still likes Don't Starve, Steph is going to die playing Stardew Valley, and Mike is murdering pokemon for fun. Also we talk about the NHL playoffs, which is absolutely *wild* these days. Also Joker's in Smash Bros Ultimate. He's pretty cool. Persona 5's pretty cool, guys. Beer of the Week: Granville Island's False Creek Raspberry Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Listen: life's hard here out on the Rim. Sometimes your dog army eviscerates a group of bandits and there's only one thing to do with the bodies. This week is all about the gang acknowledging their problems. Whether it's Steph's crippling addiction to Stardew Valley, Kelly's masochism with Sekiro, or Bill's growing need to harvest human flesh, it seems like we've all got problems. Except Norris. He's fine. Also discussed this week: that Wired article about the next Playstation console, Sony letting people finally change their PSN names, and EA promising not to hurt us with a new Star Wars game. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Bill McDonnell, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Fernie Brewing's Sap Sucker Maple Porter Music by Sebastian Bender

Whether it's a CEO asking you to take a card, or a company telling you to give up your evenings and weekends, it's best you just don't trust gaming magic. This week we provide a safe avenue for Kelly to discuss his Sekiro troubles, Steph and Char go deep into Don't Starve Together, and everybody talks about the recent Kotaku article debriefing Anthem. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Charlene Bayer, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Russell Brewing's Triple Berry Milkshake IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

This week, we're all about MSN Messenger and close-up magic. Blasts from things that include the past! Dave is getting hype off the MK11 beta, Kelly is reaching his mortal limitations in Sekiro, Steph wants the dogs to just leave her alone in Don't Starve, and Matt has just been watching old black and white Soviet documentaries. Also we talk about all the sexy gun gams in that Borderlands 3 announcement. The team's opinions seem divided, but we all agree that Gearbox is fucking crazy for letting famed magician Randy Pitchford in front of a crowd. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: 33 Brewing Exp 33B-EXP.029.MKI Music by Sebastian Bender

This week it's all about death and ninjas, with the release of Sekiro. Kelly and Dave break down the game, there's a good discussion about putting easy modes into video games, and just some overall gushing. Matt lets us know his feelings about Jordan Peele's "Us", which somehow strays into talks about wizards, which somehow strays into talks about the existence of deadbeat gay dads in the wizarding world. I think. Norris also admits that Baba is You is both good and making him look the fool, and there's some good healthy talk about XCOM 2, a very relevant game for 2019. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Moody Ales Lavender Sour Music by Sebastian Bender

What else would you call it when you tear down your neighbour's homes, rebuild them for yourself, and enslave the populace so you can liquidate them for resources. This week, we drink some Icelandic beer, and talk about some TECH. Some cold hard TECH coming at us from Google. That's right, the Google Stadia! Piping hot games to your TV! Steph and Mike also describe the bad things they're doing in Don't Starve, Dave logs back on as the Bioware Defender, Mike is happy to not be playing fighting games, and Norris explains how Dragon Quest 11 finally broke him. Also did you hear the next Dragonball FighterZ character is gonna be Goku? Finally. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Bríó Music by Sebastian Bender
