Super Hopped-up

This week Norris finds out about the TBLOP list, and it changes his life forever. Once we get past discussing the Dark Souls that is our existence, we delve into the Dark Souls that is that hot new video game. It's Dark Souls 3 time y'all! And most of us at SHU are deep in its funk and ready to talk about it. This is a real Souls-centric episode this week, but we also do manage to argue on how dumb Guile looks in the upcoming SF5 update, discuss our gungeoneering experience, and talk about Norris' opening foray into Hyper Light Drifter. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Spinnaker's Coffee Blonde Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang watched Bats V Supes, and surprisingly we have a lot of thoughts on the matter! But first we need to go into some Irish history, make sure we have the appropriate names for drinks, and explain what St. Patrick's Day truly means to us. But then it's all Batman baby. Warning if you haven't seen the Batman film yet and weren't already spoiled by the trailers we do talk about the plot in-depth, so skip to around the 32 minute-mark if you're spoiler averse. We also get into some Salt and Sanctuary (otherwise known, if you've been reading reviews, as '2D Dark Souls'), find out Kelly's Miitomo is spying on him, and how the future of our porn is full of virtual headless bodies. Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Kelly Wright Beer of the Week: Guinness and Okanagan Spring Pale Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

We return with our stunning conclusion to the silly-damn two-part DnD thing we did! Alongside stalwart hosts from ZeroD20, your one-stop shop for dungeons *and* dragons, we try to solve the problems of the weird candy hell we've found ourselves in. There's combat, intrigue, daring, maybe even the occasional laugh! Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright Special Guests: ZeroD20's Jalyn Eutenier and Keltie Forsyth Music by Sebastian Bender

For April Fool's...week, we at Super Hopped-Up thought we'd do something a little different. So we teamed up with Vancouver's favourite geek girl DnD podcast ZeroD20, and thought we'd have ourselves a fantastical one-off roleplay. So this week instead of beer, video games, and general curmudgeonry Kelly and Chris get sent to the sickly-sweet world of Pleasantia, to see how much cumulative damage they can do in as short a time as possible. This is part 1 of the two-part series, with the conclusion coming out next week! And be sure to listen to ZeroD20 for all your DnD needs! Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright Special Guests: ZeroD20's Jalyn Eutenier and Keltie Forsyth Music by Sebastian Bender

It's a mad-house this week, with too many people in the podcast, too many beers to drink, and far too many movies that have the word 'Heat' in them. We also talk about our impending AI-induced apocalypse, now that we can't even play board games against the computer without them winning. We also catch up on all those hot video games we've been playing, including Fire Watch, Rocket League, and some other random nonsense. Also we ask what's worse: millenials or the people who write about millenials, only to find out the answer is 'yes'. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker, Matt Emery, Vince Siu Beer of the Week: The Persephone Hops Pack Music by Sebastian Bender

Really this entire podcast is just a front to sell you one of our wide assortment of knives. Guaranteed never to dull! While drinking down a couple bottles of lemon-and-agave-flavoured urine, the guys this week discuss why you shouldn't have anime bodypillows with pictures of your friends on them, argue about Netflix pandering to us 90's kids, and ask just what's up with Microsoft these days? We also finish off with a modern tale of near-Macbethian tragedy - the story of the Coleco Chameleon. And there's some talk about jrpgs and our wasted youth, to make sure we stick to our bread and butter. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Mariachi! Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

We're sorry to interrupt your podcast listening, but just how happy *are* you with your television service? The boys stunt on some ice cream beer this week, then dig deep into Nintendo's latest Direct. It's all Horse Solitaire all the time! Also discussed, how the UDraw Tablet killed THQ, our love of Kirby, ruinous video game bugs, narcing on people in Street Fighter 5, and what to do when documentaries make you cry. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: New Belgium's Ben and Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale Music by Sebastian Bender

Where were you when the great waifu war began? This week, after our requisite food truck discussion, we have Professor Benoit quell his internal screaming long enough to try and teach us scrubs some more Street Fighter. Then...then we talk about Persona for a while. I want to say it doesn't get weird up in here, but it really, totally does. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Benoit Busque Beer of the Week: Brassneck Stockholm Syndrome Saison Music by Sebastian Bender

It's the week after the most exciting release of 2016. That's right Cookie Clicker 2 has dropped! And we're here for all your idling needs. Also Street Fighter 5 is out, kinda, and we have on two of the closest thing to experts on the game I could find to teach us all how not to jump into uppercuts. There's fight-talk aplenty this week as the guys dissect the pros and cons of the game, how to get into the genre, what got them into the genre, and just a whole ton on fight games in general. There's also a bit of talk on Deadpool, both the movie and the character, and how the internet kind of ruins everything good. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe, Benoit Busque Beer of the Week: Unibroue's Éphémère Apple Music by Sebastian Bender

This week we speak with our esteemed guest Mr Jack Shirai about the current state of the MMO genre, in between complaints about beer and the errors in judgement of Darth Vader. We do our best to answer the question 'Hey guys, what happened to Asheron's Call ?' while also goofin' on the puzzle preferences of pirates, fast blue hedgehogs, and Kelly's dark, Smash-Mouthed past. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker Guest: Jack Shirai, Celebrated Technologist and MMO Whisperer Beer of the Week: Bomber Brewing's Apex Barleywine Music by Sebastian Bender

I think it's pretty safe to say if you're a part of a podcast you looked like a dork in high school. This week, Dave tries to explain to us Phish Phandom, we review Serial Season 2, and dive into Helldivers. Chris also bears Witness, Dave gets downright giddy about Street Fighter, and Kelly says a bunch of words about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that sound like a person having a fit. Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Old Yale Brewing's Screaming Banshee Stout

This week we're joined by Keir Miron, programmer for Darkest Dungeon. So of course we ask him endless questions about video games that he didn't work on. Well that's not entirely true, we do talk a hell of a lot about Darkest Dungeon this week, but also fashion tips, Firewatch, and fighting games. Alliteration! Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Benoit Busque Guest: Keir Miron, Programmer for Red Hook Studios, Makers of Darkest Dungeon

Do *you* know the tell-tale signs of Fallout addiction? Listen inside to find out if your son and/or daughter is an addict! Our professionalism is showcased this week as our guest cancels at the 11th hour and we scramble for some hot replacement topics, including our appreciation for Darkest Dungeon, and our...unappreciation for Starcraft 2's narrative. Also apparently everyone's just watching bad TV these days. Beer of the Week: Tree Brewing's Knox Mountain Brown Ale Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Mike Parker

With the soft launch of this, your new favourite podcast about topics that *no one else* has ever before done a podcast on, we jump right into the thick of it by giving our opinions on artisinal weed strains, competitive Bloodborne, and the pronunciation of 'dirigible.' But we're not all about floating vehicles and their gaseous mixtures here at SuperHU, we're also about video games involving cats, Nano Bees, and David Bowie. And hating David Cage. And Cloud Strife's milk-carton arms. And more! Beer of the Week: Dageraad Brewing's Londen Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly Wright, Matt Emery Guest: Benoit "This is a Setup" Busque, Game Designer
