Hopped-Up Gaming

On this week's episode of Hopped-Up Gaming the team dives headfirst into E3 and nearly forgets to come up for air, with discussions on the existence of E3 booth babes, the Ouya and E3 beef, the argument between whether DRIVATAR or levelution is the worst word ever created, and also everything else unveiled at the E3 conferences.

Beer of the Week: Granville Island Raspberry Ale

In this week's episode our intrepid heroes get raucous, talking about movies with racist described-video features, Orbitz Soda, and the origin of the Way-Back Machine. We also discuss Thomas Was Alone, Evoland, XCOM: Enemy Unkown, and Injustice: Gods Among Us (which ends up with us going in-depth about the DC Universe).

We also further discuss Fez, our game of the month, talk about the further developments going on at Precursor Games, and have a good long argument on our opinions on Kickstarter.

We drift into episode 41 with as much rude 'tude as possible this week, starting with a breathless exortation about Fast and Furious 6 and not slowing down from there. We also talk about Dark Souls multiplayer, games rated AO, horrifying Skyrim mods, Mass Effect 3 DLC, incorporating porn into the Oculus Rift, Contra, and how Bill is a scary Rain Man when it comes to Fez.

Beer of the Week: Ephemere

Hopped-Up Gaming turns 40 this week, and like everyone's favourite deadbeat dad we're drinking bad beer and getting mad at the television, with discussions on the Xbox One announcement conference, Metro Last Light, iOS games, and the new Star Trek film.

Beer of the Week: Coors Light

We start off weird and just keeping digging this week, as the crew discusses the history of Quanza, the difference between a tonfa and a police baton, Metro Last Light, and iPad Games. We also talk about the death of for-profit Let's Plays, ask if the future of video gaming is going to look like the film industry, and talk about more movies than you can shake a stick at.

This week, on a very special episode of Hopped-Up Gaming, we have not one but two very special guests, who are more than game at assisting our inane efforts to discuss such topics as the deeper meta-narrative of Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon, the death of Blockbuster and video game rentals, and our preparation for the cougarpocalypse. We also talk about the agony and ecstasy that is Fez, have a heated argument about Bioshock Infinite, and some of us talk about sports games while the rest of us go to the bathroom.

Beer of the Week: Blue Bridge Pale Ale

After a week like this, it's hard to know just what a podcast like this is really about, with discussions on such myriad topics as the history of beer shotgunning, Korean softcore pornography, fish genocide, inverted castles, and cross-dressing documentaries. We also discussion our suspicions that Frank Miller's a Rothschild, how easy it is to fall into a wrestling hole, and how Netflix knows our darkest, innermost secrets. #dontfreejahar

Beer of the Week: Phillips Bottlerocket ISA

It's another Book Club discussion this week, which begins with everyone ripping Zeno Clash apart and ends with Norris being disbarred from ever making game decisions again. A spirited debate arises between Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Fez for next month's game, and Vince and Norris start up a "No Dark Souls" club. We also talk about our appreciation of Sam Raimi's horror films, how much we love bad translations of old Japanese games, and Bill's sudden lust for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
