Hopped-Up 64

There's been an invasion from the eastern border, as ill-mannered Albertans take over our beautiful, innocent podcast and fill it full of Pizzagate references. This week we joined up with some podcasting brothers-in-arms, Keifer and Chris from The Alberta Podcast. They've come to regale us with tales of Cybermania 94, Lorn Lanning, and true-to-history video game series Dynasty Warriors. Meanwhile, Norris lets everyone in on the the scandals rocking the classic arcade world, Dave slips further into anime, and Matt once more comes to the defense of speed-runners. Sponsored by Gamer Goo. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe Special Guests: The rowdy boys from Alberta Podcast, Keifer Dallison and Chris Westaway Beer of the Week: Storm Brewing's Pizza Beer Music by Sebastian Bender

They're like the regular kind but they've got steam shooting out. This week Mike learns that he needs Dragon Ball to feel anything, Kelly wants you to know he looks pretty wearing the skin of a murdered creature, and Matt has some hard talk aimed at those puppies who kneeled during the Puppybowl. We also end up getting into a protracted discussion about Bob's Burgers, and how it's great. Because it's great. Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Red Truck's Midnight Dark Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

This week the gang discuss their lucrative future career - being proxy bodies for the wealthy elite. We also decide that beer collaborations are beat, and the future lies in beer beefs. Mike and Dave continue their habit of probably getting Dragon Ball stuff completely wrong, while Norris determines if cats are evil or merely misinformed.

Dont worry everyone, we survived the tsunami. With no small assistance from Professor Seismograph. This week, we lament the loss of male role models, but we celebrate our new heroes the internet speed runners. We swap Bubsy stories, skin-stealing stories, hentai stories, and stories of the creation of civilizations. Lots of stories. Kelly also gives us news from the alternate universe Metal Gear front, and Matt finds a neural network that makes band names and derails the episode.

It's MAD MONEY HOUR this week on Super Hopped-Up. Bitcoin! Yah hearda it!? BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. We're gonna all be rich! As the gang sells all the audio equipment to buy math dollars, we also talk about the other thing dorks love: Dragon Ball (Fighter) Z. Dave and Mike have never seen a power level they didn't like, and they're willing to talk everyone's ear off while Norris and Kelly nod politely. Lastly, but certainly not leastly, the gang's proven that they would all make fantastic cops if hadn't been for that nagging sports injury. You can see the evidence yourself over at our Hidden Agenda Let's Play! Go here to watch or we'll arrest you -> https://youtu.be/7vYTfG8ysq8 Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Mt.

Oh cool a bunch of dudes are gonna talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi on the internet. Turns out? They got some 'pinions. This week, the 5-year sting operation on Matt finally succeeds. Don't worry he's going to prison now, we got him. Also it's mostly about Star Wars this week, so if you haven't seen the latest whizz-bang then prepare to be enlightened about it before you even see it yourself! Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Central City Brewing Super Solar IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

The Deep State tries to stop us from drinking this week but we remain too potent to stop. It's 2018! Time for thrills, chills, and spills, and an opportunity to wipe clean the slate! As such, we haven't done a damn thing this last week that wasn't drinking, so we turn our gazes forward and discuss our hopes and dreams for 2018. From our resolutions, to the stupid media we're looking forward to consuming, 2018 does indeed look like another wonderful step in our long march to the grave. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Fieldhouse Brewing Co.'s As If Dry Hopped Sour Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

With this being the week after our Metal Gear Marathon, and none of us technically dying in the process, we thought this follow-up week would be a good time to give our high and low-lights of the marathon. Also discussed, the seemingly seedy underbelly hiding in Stardew Valley, and a frank discussion on Orc culture. Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike Parker, Bill McDonnell, Steph Fan Beer of the Week: Dagerrad Amber Music by Sebastian Bender

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.
