The gang just talks about cars for like 20 minutes today, before we get into some discusiion on our pre-Metal Gear Marathon jitters, and then pretending to know why old british tv frame rate ruined the playstation classic. There's also some talk about Fallout 76. I dunno none of us played it. Is it any good?

The gang learns this week that one should never have to say the words "My Aquaman Tattoo." We may spend way too long talking about great/horrible tattoos as well, followed by great/horrible Shrek impressions. The only thing better than listening to people talk about tattoos, I've been told, is listening to people attempt impressions. So, you're welcome. There's also some video game stuff too, as we discuss improving our cooking to feed the devil, Vancouver's Fan Expo, getting some Titanfall skins down at the B-Dub, how Owlboy is really pretty, a whale-oil-based economy is impractical, and Acclaim had the best PR of all time.

There's also some discussion on the new Jack Box, Norris accounts for his kitchen nightmares in Overcooked 2, Char's a cop, and David thinks everyone should play Mario Party.

Who knows what they could be hatching up there. PLOTS. SCHEMES. Matt's back this week to regale us of stories from the land of the Rising Sun. Did you know they had giant robots? And suicidal legumes? Steph starts the long hard road to deciding her waifu. Norris hates FF15 almost as much as he hates the fact that he's definitely going to finish it. Mike believes that stealth has no place in Spider(man)'s life. We also discuss the details of Telltale Games destruction, and why everyone wants to put the bone into a Lady Bowser.

It's so hard not to, though.

It's been a long time coming. This week the gang dishes out on Spider-Man and Dragon's Quest 11. I don't want to spoil anything but they might be pretty good. A new segment is also introduced this week, in which the gang rationally and calmly discusses people and topics from the last week that bears some sober analysis. We're calling it the bullet list. Turns out we had a lot of bullets to give this week so we didn't end up getting to any of the questions we received from the discord. Don't worry, we'll get to them next week! Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Howe Sound's Pumpkineater Imperial Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

There are specific moves you need to do right, or you just look silly. This week we all agree that video games shouldn't be in the Olympics. We also agree that gamers shouldn't be allowed outside. We agree on a lot of things. We answer a bunch of questions from the Discord, agree that Henry Cavill is a fuck-boi, and discuss the recent controversy of Riot Games at Pax West. David needs you to know Jack Ryan and Jack Reacher are different. Norris believes podcast talk can't be submitted as evidence in a court of law. Mike and Steph admit that Don't Starve Together is going to destroy their relationship.

It wasn't even a fair question. This week your favourite husbandos debate the finer points of weed vaping, Overwatch free weekends, and the best Dead Cells builds. We declare that every character in Soul Calibur is very normal, and discuss Nintendo's latest indie releases.

There's a full roundtable this week, as we all attempt to summon some dark elder god from the vaguely-racist-sounding dark realm. Holey Moley we talking *games* this week!

Live from the heat of Vegas, it's the full extended SHU Crew! While we are live from our hotel room during the height of EVO 2018, we decided to crowd around a single room microphone and record our feelings about the tournament, detail how our competitors did, and give some general feelings about how Las Vegas is just too damn hot. Also discussed are our feelings about some upcoming fighting games we got a chance to try, and we discuss some of the non-gaming debauchery we've gotten up to, including the nightmare that was our time at the Heart Attack Grill. (If by some miracle this is your first time listening to us, I swear to christ the audio usually sounds much better, but it's hard when you have one mic in a hotel room with eight people!)
