Super Hopped-up

There's a real conversation in here somewhere about The Last of Us 2, but it's mostly just us getting mad at twitter.

What a week to hold a vibe check. We all deal with anxiety in different ways. Some of us listen to music, some of us exercise, and some of us play 70 hours worth of Yuigoh games on a GBA emulator.

For the month of June Super Hopped-Up will be matching any and all donations made to verified bail funds, legal aid organizations, Black Lives Matter charities, or any charity supporting LGBTQIA+ groups, up to a combined total of $1,500. A good link with a number of possible charities has been put together by Claire Shaffer at Rolling Stone here - https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/george-floyd-protests-bail-funds-police-brutality-black-lives-matter-1008259/ Black lives matter.

It's Definitely True. Beer of the Week: Quarantine Beers Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Char Bayer, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Steph Fan Intro/Outro Music by David Beebe

A night where the fellas come together and talk about Russian film, literature, and video games. This week Norris is back trying to convince everyone to play some indie art nonsense, though he *promises* this time it's good. He's been playing a lot of Pathologic 2, and is addicted to getting hurt by it. As well, Bill went into the virtual realm to play some Half Life: Alyx, and has some thoughts. And as ever, Matt has some movie recommends, including a very good, very Soviet sci-fi classic, Stalker.

You watch one docu-drama about the Japanese adult film industry and you never live it down. This week, Norris explains why spending $40 on a soda mug was a prudent investment. After that nonsense, though, we get into MK:11 Aftermath, some XCOM: Chimera Squad, some FF7R, and decide that the peak of movie comedy was when people hit each-other with frying pans.

Why don't they make Bacardi 151 anymore? In this day and age its power is more needed than ever. This week, Jack and Kelly go pirating in a Sea of Thieves, Char is professional Animal Crossing gardener, Steph is debating which one of us is most edible, Mike just wants to play fighting games, and Norris thinks the future of video games is board games.

The gang is getting back on their bullshit, with a lot of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, a lot of Rimworld, and some fighting games to even it out.

Rockstar Energy has crossed me for the last time. Topics this week include how we're all surviving being locked indoors, why Capcom should(n't) remake Resident Evil: Code Veronica, chocobo trap music, and Matt's Movie Corner!

Sometimes the only thing to do while locked up alone in your apartment is to go total hypebeast. We investigate this week what happens when a person has no internet and an 120-hour maso-core CRPG, but not before once again forgetting how to podcast. Topics this week also include the Resident Evil 4 Remake and why it should actually be Code Veronica, what each-other's Crusader King 2 traits are, questioning if the new XCOM game is Matt-bait, and determining which Final Fantasy 7 waifu is the worst and why.

Like any good religion, there must be divisions. This week, we spend a heck of a lot of time trying to determine if Tom Nook and Isabelle are just friends, or in a sad relationship of convenience. My money's on the latter. We also have an argument about what kind of game Animal Crossing is that inevitably turns into us creating a religion and then immediately developing warring sects within it. Like all good religions.

Finally, a chance to actually *see* what a podcast looks like. If you're reading this it means you probably missed it, but starting this week we're doing it live! Come listen to the podcast where we test out simultaneous livestreaming, one of those things were forcing ourselves to figure out now that we're all stuck inside our homes forever. If you missed viewing us in all our glory, you can still listen along as we discuss the new Animal Crossing, get some further thoughts into Doom Eternal, but mostly just vamp about how gorgeous we all look while lit up by the pale glow of our computer monitors.

We're all coming in remotely this week, and you can probably guess why. (Or if for some reason you're listening to this years later and society is still around, we're all looking out for that COVID drip, y'all.) This week, Norris being stuck indoors is making him very aware of his diet soda addiction. Meanwhile being indoors is making Kelly and Char very aware of their Dead by Daylight addiction. Everyone on the cast has a number of addictions, really, but we all knew that. There's some talk on Nioh 2 from Kelly, some DBZ Kakarot from Bill, some Yoshi's Wooly World from Steph, and some very middling opinions about Fire Emblem: 3 Houses from Norris. Also we discuss that insane rumour that Sony's going to buy the Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill franchises. Which, they won't, but let us dream the perfect dream.

Matt's back, and boy is he back on it. While we're all holed up in our gaming bunker due to the 7 different reasons why the world is about to end, we get into some classic RPGs, some new dirt on the latest Dead by Daylight update, and whether the boys in girls in Fire Emblem 3 Houses are worth saving.

You're not karaoke famous until you've got the teens going. The gang this week won't let Zika get them down, as they have some opinions about the Final Fantasy 7 demo they want to get out. Also some talk on Smash Bros, Kentucky Route Zero, and all the teens you shouldn't kiss in Fire Emblem 3 Houses.

While Norris is away on vacation to Somaliland, he had to desperately spin together an episode at the last minute. So in an act of shameless self-promotion, here is the latest episode of a Super Hopped-Up side project: Don’t Tread on Weebs!

I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a world where 1% of the hustlers are getting 99% of dat cheddar. This week, a group of old men sit together and reminisce about when their tastes were relevant. That includes, but certainly isn't limited to: their general taste in music, their feelings about the incoming Dragon Ball Fighterz updates, and their thoughts about the new Harley Quinn movie.

This week Norris tries not to talk about politics, we spend too much time talking about Jizz Wailing, which isn't what you think it is, and we draw a line in the sand between different kinds of vodka soda. We also really tease out our video game ranking system of "Buttons, Words, and Charts", which now has grown into a way to rate pretty much anything and everything.
