Super Hopped-up

Sometimes moments arise when a person, for completely personal reasons, has to buy new pants. This week we talk about those moments. Also in this week's podcast Norris discusses his complicated feelings about someone stealing his identity to get laid, we discuss which member of SHU would do best on Grindr, and decide that a sexy calendar is the only way we'll be able to make money. David also admits he likes playing dress-up with his virtual dolls, Norris is made of salt, everyone pushes for a Persona vacation, and we all agree Wonder Woman should probably lead The Justice League. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Innis and Gunn Original Music by Sebastian Bender

This week a lame beer trick has led to the inception of prank war, which is like regular war but more brutal. Also Kelly doesn't appreciate getting hit on by every male NPC, Matt is training a machine to kill, everyone learns a little bit about synthetic weed, and we discuss the business viability of a sex-robot blowjob cafe. Turns out we have more opinions on sex robots. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Dogwood Brewing Variety Pack Music by Sebastian Bender

We start this week by putting Iceland on the list; they may have some pretty good beer but too many poets so we really had no choice. The gang also envisions a dystopian muppet world, Dave has a love for muscled heroes in tights, Kelly continues infuriating Norris with his Dragon Age saga, and everyone expresses their feelings about sexual sadism. Also, some Horizon: Zero Dawn, some plans on how to become the TMZ of Video Games, and whether winter cannibalism or a tour of the concentration camps would make Call of Duty WW2 "edgier." Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Borg Brugghús Leifur Nordic Saison Music by Sebastian Bender

This week, Kelly brings a parental with him to discuss their plans for taking over youtube. It mostly just involves Kelly's mom dunking on him repeatedly. Also this week, Norris misplaced his subscription to shitty hipster quarterly, Kelly admits he's a wet, wet boy, Emery has a dark secret he needs to tell everyone, and we all agree The Italian Job is good. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Special Guest: Kelly's Mom Beer of the Week: Philip's Brewing Hoperation Tripel Cross Belgian IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

It's not racist if it's an accident, right? This week the gang starts by digging a metaphorical hole and never really finding a way to get out of it. We also decide ad-hoc to try and rank Zack Synder's entire film ouevre, make fun of Australians again, and Mike finds out who Blue Beetle is. Also in a very special segment this week the team learns a little something about what would happen if a GI Joe met a Transformer, with a new fan-submitted game! Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Bridge Brewing's Bourbon Blood Orange Wheat Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

The team only spits hot fyre this week, as the podcast boys announces their influencer roles for a hot new concert all the kids are talking about. There's also discussion on 40's as a gentrifying agent, going Apocalypse Now on semi-invisible robot dogs, throwing down against Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite, and agreeing that, if given the opportunity, you should always do acid while fighting Nazis with Jimi Hendrix. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Fuggles & Warlock The Last Strawberry Wit Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang remembers why they don't normally record on Sundays this episode, because they're all deeply broken people with absolutely nothing left in the tank by the end of the week. As such we discuss whether the podcast needs a wartime or peactime cicerone, heretical religious acts, and whether or not we can guess a beer's IBU. Norris plans a movie marathon, Kelly has romantic group activities for his Dragon Age crew, and Dave seems incredulous about the plausability of Fast and Furious stuntz. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Off The Rail Brewing's Kama Citra Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

There's no need for any of that "video game" talk this week, since we all know video games are just a fad anyway. *This week* the gang asks the truly hard-hitting question: what was the best hair metal band of all time. We also discuss our teenage drinking habits, Mike totally ships Nolan North and Troy Baker, Dave realizes that he's also into giant robot dinosaurs, and Norris solves Hyrule. Then we go through our old mail bag before reaffirming our weekly mantra that reddit is the worst place in the world. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Persephone Hop Yard Red Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

It's Intentional-Poisoning Day at Super Hopped-Up Hall, as the boys drink sugar-fied root beer drink before devising the best way to get a porn-beer-related sponsorship. Kelly starts a Dragon Age heresy, Norris is surprised that not everyone else just tortured their Sims, Mike enjoys the bitter tears of Hearthstone nerds, and Dave realizes he'll never find love in another shooter relationship. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Boxer Hard Root Beer Music by Sebastian Bender

If you've wanted to know what taco-flavoured beer tastes like (and we know you didn't) then let us be your canaries the coal mine. It's an intimate, two-person interview this week, with Dave and Norris getting to the heart of what truly matters: the jurisdiction of DC Super Heroes. There's also discussion of Szechuan sauce, how Call of Duty is for children, and how Bioware's patches are going to definitely fix Andromeda. Dave also grinds his gears on the grind required to unlock cosmetic items in For Honor, but completely gets behind the civil disobedience that put a stop to Ubisoft's tyranny. Also RIP Madcats, with your bad Player 2 controllers. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Parallel 49 Mystic Skull No. 5 Chocolate Mole Cerveza Music by Sebastian Bender

When it becomes readily apparent that we know more about e-sports than actual sports it's probably best to be a little embarrassed. But that won't stop us this year, as we talk about our confused opinions about professional e-sports, Korean baseball, One Punch Man, playing Zelda wrong, and toppling the tyranny of wearing pants. Also how do *you* feel about season's passes? Because we definitely have feelings, and we let our feelings out, like it was some kind of season-pass therapy session! Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Dageraad Brune Music by Sebastian Bender

Most of us are kinda sick this week. Which apparently makes us go crazy? Norris admits he's a bathroom trailblazer, Emery espouses his Hitchfork Horniness Hypothesis, Kelly wants to figure out how Patreon works, and then we all realize we hate and also love our anime dads. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Category 12 Brewing's Disruption Black IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

If you invest in us we promise to spend it *solely* on useless domain names. That's a Super Hopped-Up Guarantee! This week we try to determine the possibilities of crowd-sourcing a party, before realizing how difficult it would be to gin up some angel investors for our ideas; we may need to catch some earth or dragon investors first. The group comes *stacked* this week with video game talk, as Norris lets us all know that the Legend of Zelda's still got fire, while Mike tells us that he may not understand the name of the title but Zero Horizon Dawn is a damn-fine game. Also Norris blasts Dave's milkshake habits, Kelly tries to key us into youth culture, Mike refuses to tell us if robots fuck, and Dave lets us know that Street Fighter is still burning. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Driftwood Brewery's Fat Tug IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

What's more strange, a fighting game-themed beer, or the fact that it may be the best beer we've had in a long time? This week, we get all the rowdy boys together, and talk about how much the beers this week have broken our brains, before talking about alternate universe super heroes, giant mecha, cats coming home from college, and our celebration of the current golden age of gaming. Kelly jumps on the Firefly train, Mike turns around on the idea of regionals, Norris just wants to get with Zelda, and Dave would like us all to play a game. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Mike Parker, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Sound Brewery's Mortal Kombat X Scorpion Imperial Stout and Raiden Imperial Saison Music by Sebastian Bender

Dave and Norris realize that the more they drink the better they understand how to solve the world's problems. And it involves stopping people from using the word "Groovy". This week there's also talk about Comic Convention death marches, Dave's harrowing experiences on the fields of Verdun, Norris feeling bad about interactive teen murder, and both gushing about the goofs and gallants of the Academy Awards. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Parallel 49's Dumb Funk Brett IPA Music by Sebastian Bender

The important thing to know about this week's episode is we drank a corrosively powerful beer a few minutes in, and then just devolved into madness. We get into the endless Ikea VS Costco hot dog battle, Kelly tells us the only thing better than being a samurai is managing a Samurai's inventory, Norris admits his embarrassing reading habits, and Matt admits he's an anime fiend. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Beer of the Week: Storm Brewing's Imperial Flander's Red Sour Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

On this week's episode, Norris outright proves that he's a child suffering from arrested development, but in his defense Coke Zero kind of does go with everything. Dave has some unkind feelings towards Ninjas fighting Vikings fighting Samurai, the gang gets hyped about Swamp Thing, and we all try to figure out how to get into comic books. Dave's also played some Battlefield 1, Kelly's played some Nioh, Mike's putting together his plan to be the very best, like no one ever was, and Norris just wants to murder some teens in Until Dawn Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Phillip's Brewing Space Goat Dry Hopped Oat Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

We talk about wrestling for some reason this week, likely because wrestling is geek cool now. We also revisit Bloodborne's eldritch teachings, before getting our cyberpunk Spy-groove on with Invisible Inc. Then we, two dudes, also discuss poor female character representations in geek stuff, because we are foolish people who enjoy blindly walking into philosphical mine fields. Then Norris talks about video games about fish and Power Rangers. Not at the same time, though. There's also some discussion on the games coming out in the next few months, which is good because we all know the world is going to come around August. Looks pretty good up 'til then though! Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Strathcona Beer Company's Gold Belgian Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Welcome to Super Hopped-Up, your one-stop shop for Linkin Park fandom! That isn't true, though after this week we're closer to that goal than ever before. We do however admit this week our painful lack of music trivia, discuss all the faults of Axl Rose, and hope someone eventually cheers up that ol' curmudgeon Batman. Kelly also is less in love with the idea of an all-boys anime road trip, Mike is having second thoughts about training for Pokemon regionals, and Norris thinks the song's called "Space Cowboy." Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Beer of the Week: Howe Sound Brewing's Pothole Filler Imperial Stout Music by Sebastian Bender

Tip back some brollini's with us this week as we usher in the first day of the rest of our lives. There's just as much conversation about shotgunning beer and Street Fighter, though, so maybe things never really change. This week Dave is excited for Injustice 2, and thinks that Life is Strange, Kelly finally finishes Persona 4, 800 years after its release, and Norris still wants to be a hacker from 90's action films. Also we go over the Nintendo Switch news, and subsequently get all freaked out about Mario's apparent inhumanity. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Greenleaf Brewing's Animal Farm IPA Music by Sebastian Bender
