Hopped-Up Gaming

This week we put on a show! Stay awhile and listen while we spin you a tale of adventure, deceit, and indefensible murder as we play Paranoia, the tabletop game where everyone's out to get you including yourself.

This is Part One of our two-part series, as we play through our own take on a cult tabletop favourite. And we play it the only way we know how.

Hosts: Chris Norris, Emery, Mike, Vince, Dave

Beer of the Week: Unibroue's Ephemere Apple

In keeping with our evolution, transitioning away from silly video games and into discussion topics far out of our breadth and scope, today dear readers we're going to be shedding some light on the history of ISIS. If we're not all killed first. We discuss their origins within the Middle East, the events that led to their current status as a household name, and also how they can be related to anime if you really want to try hard enough. As we all certainly do.

We talk about ISIS' twitter presence, their psychological effect on the international community, how the Middle East is now the Wild West, and that the origins of ISIS and even Al Qaeda can be traced back to a drunk 20-something from New York. For real.

On the Show: Chris Norris-Jones, Dave, Emery, Mike

Special Guest: Morgan, our Subject Matter Expert

Beer of the Week: Luck of the Irish Red Ale

I was also debating the title 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Robot Dong' for this episode. We're talking about robots today! From using the Voight-Kampff test to determine which of us is an android, to the numerous robot-controlled dystopias, to our sexy, sexy robot future. It gets a little dark, honestly. We also talk teledildonics. Which is such a great word. Teledildonics. Tele. Dildonics.

We start this week in already live and in action, and dive right into how social media has created a daily hell from which we can never escape. And then we talk about hockey. I mean I guess video games come up *eventually* but who even plays video games anymore, right? How 90's.

This week, the gang realizes they're all still children who hate fancy food and love poop jokes. We find out how Dave's body rejects fancy food, how Matt is unsuitable for command, and how downloading a tool to automatically play cookie clicker is the saddest of all performance art. We also discuss untapped sex toy markets, inappropriate questions video game characters ask children, and determine who among us knows the most about internet erotica. Whoever wins we lose this week on Hopped-Up Gaming!
