Hopped-Up Gaming

What happens on Draenor stays on Draenor.

This week the HUG crew get all up in the guts of fantasy/sci-fi universes, spending more time than is physician recommended discussing the latest news in the Warcraft, Star Wars, and Halo Universes. We also drink beer and make fun of each-other's respective favourites.

It's an old-fashioned nerd slapfight this week, with some additional talk on Fallout 4, our monthly Battlefield 4 field update (and subsequent Battlefield: Hardline punchline), and the catacylsmic storyof Batman: Arkham Knight's second PC Coming.

Beer of the Week: Four Winds Pale Ale

Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike, Kelly, Vince

Where were you when the great waifu war began?

This week, after our requisite food truck discussion, we have Professor Benoit quell his internal screaming long enough to try and teach us scrubs some more Street Fighter. Then...then we talk about Persona for a while. I want to say it doesn't get weird up in here, but it really, totally does.

Hosts: Chris Norris-Jones, Kelly Wright, Benoit Busque

Beer of the Week: Brassneck Stockholm Syndrome Saison

Beer of the Week: Brassneck Stockholm Syndrome Saison

Music by Sebastian Bender

It's the week after the most exciting release of 2016. That's right Cookie Clicker 2 has dropped! And we're here for all your idling needs.

Also Street Fighter 5 is out, kinda, and we have on two of the closest thing to experts on the game I could find to teach us all how not to jump into uppercuts. There's fight-talk aplenty this week as the guys dissect the pros and cons of the game, how to get into the genre, what got them into the genre, and just a whole ton on fight games in general.

There's also a bit of talk on Deadpool, both the movie and the character, and how the internet kind of ruins everything good.

Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Benoit Busque

Beer of the Week: Unibroue's Éphémère Apple

Music by Sebastian Bender

This week we speak with our esteemed guest Mr Jack Shirai about the current state of the MMO genre, in between complaints about beer and the errors in judgement of Darth Vader.

We do our best to answer the question 'Hey guys, what happened to Asheron's Call ?' while also goofin' on the puzzle preferences of pirates, fast blue hedgehogs, and Kelly's dark, Smash-Mouthed past.

Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker

Guest: Jack Shirai, Celebrated Technologist and MMO Whisperer

Beer of the Week: Bomber Brewing's Apex Barleywine

Music by Sebastian Bender

I think it's pretty safe to say if you're a part of a podcast you looked like a dork in high school.

This week, Dave tries to explain to us Phish Phandom, we review Serial Season 2, and dive into Helldivers.

Chris also bears Witness, Dave gets downright giddy about Street Fighter, and Kelly says a bunch of words about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that sound like a person having a fit.

Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe

Beer of the Week: Old Yale Brewery's Screaming Banshee Stout

This week we're joined by Keir Miron, programmer for Darkest Dungeon. So of course we ask him endless questions about video games that he didn't work on.

Well that's not entirely true, we do talk a hell of a lot about Darkest Dungeon this week, but also fashion tips, Firewatch, and fighting games. Alliteration!

Do *you* know the tell-tale signs of Fallout addiction? Listen inside to find out if your son and/or daughter is an addict!

Our professionalism is showcased this week as our guest cancels at the 11th hour and we scramble for some hot replacement topics, including our appreciation for Darkest Dungeon, and our...unappreciation for Starcraft 2's narrative. Also apparently everyone's just watching bad TV these days.

Beer of the Week: Tree Brewing's Knox Mountain Brown Ale

Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker

With the soft launch of this, your new favourite podcast about topics that *no one else* has ever before done a podcast on, we jump right into the thick of it by giving our opinions on artisinal weed strains, competitive Bloodborne, and the pronunciation of 'dirigible.'

But we're not all about floating vehicles and their gaseous mixtures here at SuperHU, we're also about video games involving cats, Nano Bees, and David Bowie. And hating David Cage. And Cloud Strife's milk-carton arms. And more!

Beer of the Week: Dageraad Brewing's Londen

Hosts: Chris Norris-Jones, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery

Guest: Benoit "This is a Setup" Busque, Game Designer
