Hopped-Up 64

Topics this week include: Neopets as a Scientology plot, our collective lack of sex in university, and playing a game called "Pokemon or Big Data." Also Kelly's discussion of Fortnite heats up the console/PC conflict, Dave doesn't want to kiss any aliens not ever, Norris balls to the wall, and Matt has some strong feelings about dating sims. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Field House Light Brett Music by Sebastian Bender

You know we're right. Also we do beer talk, video game talk, Netflix anime talk, and EVO tournament talk. Which I guess is also video game talk. The gang also settles on what our next big movie marathon's gonna be, and needless to say we're already excited. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Sierra Nevada Sidecare Orange Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

We had to debrief after last week's podcast, and it turns out we're all bad people and we're all very sorry. Especially Mike. For *THIS* week, Norris states his opposition to Guinness, Matt scientifically proves Family Guy was worse than The Simpsons, but we all agree that nothing will ever be as good as King of the Hill. Kelly likes being called "Commander", Mike wants to live in Hyrule, and Norris gives his favourite Summer Games Done Quick segments. Also we all wear aviators. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Longwood Brewery's Stoutnik Russian Imperial Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Sometimes we have some good event ideas on this podcast. Sometimes, we don't. We'll leave it up to *you* to decide if this episode was the former or the latter, as the gang and special guest @roshirai sit on a bunch of couches and figure out what life is like after watching all 6 Resident Evil films in quick succession. It's another movie marathon day! Which once again takes on a distinct, "Heart of Darkness" kind of vibe as everyone slowly gets more and more inebriated. Also due to technical issues we lost the first 20 minutes of audio and had to re-record. All in all just a wonderful day. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Special Guest: Gamemaker and Raconteur Jack Shirai (@roshirai on Twitter and Roshirai on Youtube) Alcohol of the Week: Like, literally everything. Music by Sebastian Bender

On this week's episode of the Friendscast, the podcast that talks solely about the hit 90's sitcom Friends, we reminisce on our favourite episode, where Ross and Chandler decide on a suicide pact but give up when they both realize the gun's too heavy. There's also discussion on the inherent beauty of a pepperoni and mustard Subway sandwich, the ingrained madness to a Resident Evil movie marathon, and the group decision that Zelda speed runs need to be an Olympic sport. Also, more talk on Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Norris gushes about his new waifu the Super Nintendo Classic. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: 33 Acre's of Ocean Music by Sebastian Bender

We've got a special guest on this week, pixel artist and awesome Vancouverite Chibwé Mweene, so *of course* most of the regular gang is out sick. That doesn't stop us though from talking pixel art, fighting games, and so much god damn Dragon Ball Z it hurts. We also discuss the the triumphant return of the Duke, the curious return of Atari hardware, and for some inexcusable reason we end up talking about cookie clicker again. Hosts: Chris Norris, Bill McDonnell Special Guest: Chibwé Mweene, Vancouver Pixel Artist Music by Sebastian Bender

It's that time of year again, when everyone unhinges their jaw and is force-fed all the raw, uncut pixels they need in order to feel something this holiday season; that's right E3 baby! Before that though we start the festivities by discussing which alcohol best gets our cut on, what anime Barron Trump probably digs, why those kids won't stop blaring dubstep outside. As for E3, we talk about all the conferences, and all the video games we cared about. Which, as it turns out, is a lot. Hosts: Chris Norris, Matt Emery, Mike Parker, David Beebe Drink of the Week: Social Lite Lemon Vodka Garbage Music by Sebastian Bender

Sometimes moments arise when a person, for completely personal reasons, has to buy new pants. This week we talk about those moments. Also in this week's podcast Norris discusses his complicated feelings about someone stealing his identity to get laid, we discuss which member of SHU would do best on Grindr, and decide that a sexy calendar is the only way we'll be able to make money. David also admits he likes playing dress-up with his virtual dolls, Norris is made of salt, everyone pushes for a Persona vacation, and we all agree Wonder Woman should probably lead The Justice League. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Innis and Gunn Original Music by Sebastian Bender

This week a lame beer trick has led to the inception of prank war, which is like regular war but more brutal. Also Kelly doesn't appreciate getting hit on by every male NPC, Matt is training a machine to kill, everyone learns a little bit about synthetic weed, and we discuss the business viability of a sex-robot blowjob cafe. Turns out we have more opinions on sex robots. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Dogwood Brewing Variety Pack Music by Sebastian Bender

We start this week by putting Iceland on the list; they may have some pretty good beer but too many poets so we really had no choice. The gang also envisions a dystopian muppet world, Dave has a love for muscled heroes in tights, Kelly continues infuriating Norris with his Dragon Age saga, and everyone expresses their feelings about sexual sadism. Also, some Horizon: Zero Dawn, some plans on how to become the TMZ of Video Games, and whether winter cannibalism or a tour of the concentration camps would make Call of Duty WW2 "edgier."
