Super Hopped-up

Matt's back this week from the Toronto International Film festival, and he either has plenty of movies to tell us about or he made up a bunch of things that sound like possible art films, including 143 Sahara Road, Crazy World, and Gundala. Which of course ends up with us arguing about super hero movies again. We do eventually get into games this week; Dave wants us to know that everyone is bad in Greedfall; Kelly wants us to know that he doesn't know a damn thing about Catholicism, and Norris thinks Gremlins 2: Gremlins Take New York is an international treasure. Also Kelly wants to explain why he isn't playing Borderlands 3, and the words 'Rowdy Randy Pitchford' are uttered which is pretty good.

Prepping for our road trip down to the Area 51 raid next week. Can't wait to see you all there. This week, Norris is shocked at how uncompromisingly horny Dragon Quest Builders 2 is, Kelly declares his love for Banjo-Kazooie, Steph finally beat Persona 5, Mike is enjoying the masochism that is playing Sekiro, and Dave is getting his RPG on with Greedfall. Also we go through what was announced at last week's Nintendo Direct, which basically means Kelly got excited about Deadly Premonition 2 while the rest of us booed and threw garbage at him.

Listen, I just think it's dangerous to glamorize the life of a man who mutated all the fish in Gotham so that they'd look like him in order to copyright them and run Gotham's fish market. Is that the kind of person we want our kids watching? This week we have plenty of *twisted* tricks for each other, including discussing how everyone is losing their gosh dang minds over this Joker movie, discussing a bunch of new tv like The Boys, The Righteous Gemstones, and Succession. The best Joker's Trick a video game podcast can pull is to never talk about video games.

Fantasy names are all incredibly stupid, we will not be convinced otherwise. This week the gang and a special guest come together to talk about that hot 2010 film Inception, as well as WoW Classic, Fire Emblem's insistence that Blue Lions matter, Ion Fury's bad beliefs and worse humour, and a bunch of other stuff I can't recall.

We've got a special guest all the way in from the UK this week, world-ranked tabletop Blitz Bowl player and general gad-about Conor Rooney. We get weirdly deep into some of the latest Smash Bros Ultimate gossip, discuss a whole bunch of anime, and get into what's going on lately in tabletop miniatures. Also we try to parse just what the hell is going on about Spiderman between Sony and Disney, and also drink too much whisky.

Literally every podcast is having their brain melt over this, and ours is too. This week the gang discusses some completely implausible conspiracy theories, before settling back in to make fun of David's house in Fire Emblem. Norris and Matt also break down Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Norris likes GLOW, Dave's started watching some cool new show called Breaking Bad, and some teen-sex drama called Euphoria is destroying the last melting remnants of Matt's brain.

Listen: when you're right, you're right. We quickly threw together an episode while packing all of our EVO stuff, that's chock-full of fighting game prep, movie talk, and how unlike all the other systems our system is defintely going to break all the casinos. Also, Matt wants everyone to watch The Farewell, Dave needs a Mortal Kombat training partner, Steph disdain's Vancouver traffic, and Norris is brutally depressed. Something for everyone!

I mean, no director's been chosen yet but he's clearly the best possible choice. This week we're breaking down the ton of MCU news, deciding if these next films are going to be the ones that finally destroy the franchise. There's inevitably some EVO talk, and Kelly has some opinions about erotic fan fiction at the very end, so you'll have to listen to the whole episode to hear it.

Whether it's Wolfenstein making you believe everyone's a communist, Pokemon teaching you that nothing is permanent but death, or Assassin's Creed forcing you to realize the problem is your own damn self, video games give you brain worms folks. Mike and Steph join us this week from the land of endless northern sun, to discuss the hot new pokemon news. We also dish about Mario Maker 2, our Vegas plans, Steph's endless journey up Persona 5 mountain, Norris' endless fall down Assassin's Creed cliff, and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't remember as I type this out.

There's some good film talk this week, as Matt gushes about everyone's favourite new comedy, Midsommar. We also discuss some more Evo prep, Kelly's controversial opinions about Tetris, and just let Matt go off about movies that are older than your grandparents.

Makes us all feel good. This week Dave and Steph discuss their experience with the ghosts in Devotion. Norris talks about finishing up Evangelion, and also how so many video games he's playing these days has him stabbing bears, and Kelly has gone back into stress-playing Skyrim.

Man I don't get this whole Evangelion thing. It's like, *I've already seen Pacific Rim* am I right? This week, we discuss a fair bit of anime. Dave is also slaying some spires, Steph is hiding from the cops in her mind palace, Char's playing with dolls, and Norris is dancing with his best friends Link and Zelda.

It's a video game about an anti-government cult taking over a large rural area. How could it *possibly* be political? This week, the gang tries to figure out what the hell a Gose is. Dave and Mike discuss their EVO training regimen, Steph tries and fails to placate Norris' Persona demands, and we all discuss how Ubisoft doesn't understand what the word "politics" means. We also spend some time dunking on perennial twitter dork Elon Musk. Because he deserves it, honestly.

Had I known it was annoying, I would have stopped woo-ing throughout the Bethesda conference. Sorry. It's that time of year, where we all look into the barrel of the video games gun, to find out what's gonna blast us in the face. Turns out, it's just Gooigi. It's Gooigi all over our faces. We go over the main E3 conferences, detail what's been announced, as well as give our highlights, our lowlights, our gaslights, and every other form of heat and illumination E3 has given. Also I think Steph had a better joke idea for what E3 stood for but I forgot it, so we're all stuck with this now. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Drink of the Week: Moon Brewery's Creepy Uncle Dunkel Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Music by Sebastian Bender

Topics this week include: our embarrassing medical maladies, our desire to play video games that make us feel productive, our opinion that next week's E3 is going to be a whiff, and another story of Kickstarter folly.

The gang this week's talking about their favourite tv genre: sad people grimly volunteering to die. That's right baby it's Chernobyl, the best unintentional body horror show in years (not counting Dave's twitter). We also discuss the very important topics of Far Cry 5, training for EVO, lootbox legislation, and which video games are the most horny. Did we miss your horniest video game?

He may not have always had a great track record with dogs, but it really looks like he turned it around. This week, half the team went and saw John Wick 3 (that Keanu Reeves dance movie everyone's gushing about), and they try to explain to the rest what exactly John Wick is about. Also, Steph refuses to apologize for not playing Persona 5, Matt has an endless list of movies he wants to talk about, Kelly is stress-binging Divinity: Original Sin 2, Mike really wants us to believe the Yukon isn't a hell-hole, and Norris is the proud owner of a tooth shrine. Drink of the Week: Spinnakers Peach Paradise Hefe Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery, Steph Fan, Mike Parker Music by Sebastian Bender

We watched Detective Pikachu; it was kind of terrible when the cop Pikachu shocked those protesting water pokemon. We go through the wildness that is Detective Pikachu this week, before witnessing the insanity that is angry internet misogynist's fan edit of Avengers Endgame. We detail the Kid Goku DLC for DBZ FighterZ, go into some further details about the secret depravity in Stardew Valley, and confirm that there's no way FF7 Remake is ever coming out. Detective Pikachu Spoilers: 27:00 - 30:40 Drink of the Week: Parallel 49's Hillbilly Ninja Hazy Pale Ale Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Bill McDonnell Music by Sebastian Bender

Well, it happened everyone. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over. It's done. No more Marvel movies ever again. I can't believe they killed off everyone. We're talking nothing but hot, spoiler-y details about Avengers: Endgame this week, as we go over our feelings on the culmination of 10 years of godlessly expensive film-making. We discuss what we liked, what we loved, what we weren't so hot on, and everything in-between! Drink of the Week: Lonetree Cranberry Apple Cider Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Char Bayer, Kelly Wright Music by Sebastian Bender
