  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What happens on Draenor stays on Draenor.

This week the HUG crew get all up in the guts of fantasy/sci-fi universes, spending more time than is physician recommended discussing the latest news in the Warcraft, Star Wars, and Halo Universes. We also drink beer and make fun of each-other's respective favourites. 

It's an old-fashioned nerd slapfight this week, with some additional talk on Fallout 4, our monthly Battlefield 4 field update (and subsequent Battlefield: Hardline punchline), and the catacylsmic storyof Batman: Arkham Knight's second PC Coming. 

Beer of the Week: Four Winds Pale Ale 

Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike, Kelly, Vince]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[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.

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!

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[If you don't like Star Wars, then we apologize in advance.

This week, we celebrate the last day of the year by endlessly discussing The Force Awakens. Our likes, dislikes, questions, quibbles, and everything in-between. If you've somehow not seen the film yet and managed to avoid any spoilers we do talk about spoilers in the film, so be prepared! 

Also we discuss Star Wars Battlefront and a bit of Fallout 4, because this is technically still a podcast about video games I guess.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In a match against Superman and Solid Snake, the true losers are the people arguing.

Kelly and Norris have somehow managed to survive last week's Metal Gear Marathon, and so with the holiday season fast approaching and most of our regulars screwing off to be with 'family', or 'friends,' we have not one but TWO special guests this week! With the talks ranging from how tired we are, to how much we now hate video games, to vague ramblings about our 2016 plans, it truly is a holiday season sleeptacular!

Beer of the Week: Bridge Brewing Uganda Sipi Coffee Brown Ale

Hosts: Chris Norris, Kelly

Special Guests: Tammy Tsang, Video Production Star & Miranda Eagleson, Magic: The Gathering Guru]]></content:encoded>

There's a lot of Fallout talk as well this week, while Kelly and Norris float some horrible ideas for new podcasts, we all find out about creepy fansites for fast food mascots. Finally, of course, we discuss the latest details in teledildonics.

  <title><![CDATA[Episode 155: Say My Name, Codsworth]]></title>
  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[If dreams are the window to the soul, everyone on this podcast has some serious, serious issues.

The gang isn't sure if they're nonplussed this week about all the beer and video game happenings, though they are sure they have some words for Fallout 4. There's also talk about the overlap between porn and Fallout use, our apathy towards the Bond franchise, and some dumb arguments about word definitions.
 
Norris and Matt give a stern cinematic critic of 'We Are Your Friends,' that film where Zak Efron wants to be a shitty California DJ. Or something. We didn't like it, but no one else did either. Kelly also pitches a bad movie day idea, and we plan how to defeat terrorists who use Mario Maker to send their secret messages.  

Beer of the Week: Off The Rail Brewing's Crazy Train IPA    

Hosts: Chris Norris, Mike, Kelly, Emery]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[You know it was a good Halloween when you're considered a public nuisance. On this episode of HUG the gang talks about surviving their All Hallows Eve, has a childish argument about Mario games, and discusses their plan to take Matt on a spiritual gaming awakening. 

We also gush about blind speed runs, discuss the beautiful housing in Ex Machina, and get incensed about the Scary Movie franchise.      

When we decide to finally talk about games, we discuss Halo's byzantine plot, the storyline behind Destiny's lack of a storyline, and argue how the literature for Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015 was better than the game.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Last month all we talked about was Metal Gear, this month it's flat earth memes. Who said people can't change.

This week we talk about Undertale, cool hip hop lingo, Destiny's siren call, tentative Halo 5 excitement, how cross-generational games somehow still exist, how nobody cares about Assassin's Creed Syndicate and SPACE ALIENS.  

We also determine what Frog Fractions 2 is. It's Half Life 3. Or Halo 5. Probably.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Only on Hopped-Up Gaming can the topic change from the British head of state having sex with livestock to a definition of bioinformatics. We're like a thinking man's idiot here on Hopped-Up Gaming.

This week, we discuss - shocker of shockers - more Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain. Norris also question's Emery's dedication to Pixar films, and then insults Mike's Mario Maker abilities. Finally, we lay bare our suspicions that Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015 is, in fact, Frog Fractions 2.   

Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015 Spoilers from 49:20 to 51:00. 

Beer of the Week: Driftwood New Growth Pale Ale

Afterwards we discuss the initial planning stages for our burgeoning space program, how standing robots are clearly better designed than crouching robots, and then barf out just a whole mess about Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain.

There's also a new Street Fighter character! And some talk about both etiquette as well as *etiquette*, and to top it all off we even determine which of us best knows our new metal!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We start this week's episode reading a letter from the criminally insane, only to realize that the truly crazy was us all along. We then discuss Lego video games' nonsense lore, Resident Evil's nonsense lore, and the Republican Primary debate's nonsense lore. 

There's some questions on who the hell still buys strategy guides, we fulfil our mandated Batman discussion quotient, and find out which of us best knows about defunct game companies. 

All of which apparently powered by Soylent.

We must've been tired, because we also ended up talking about the new Hearthstone expansion, Konami treating their employees like war criminals, and for some reason Scientology.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Episode 137: Normal, DOA, or Extreme Podcasting

This episode of Pumped-Up Gaming contains neither aspartame nor macros, but what it does contain is a lot of sweet sweet EVO talk! Within that, we discuss Street Fighter 4's last hurrah, Mad Catz's traitorous sponsorship practices, and where we we think the high-stakes cash games would be in Vegas. We also somehow end up discussing Dead or Alive's gravity-defying...chest physics. 

Also there's talk about a game in which we got to play the alpha for, but are legally obliged not to name. Let's call it Space...Conflicts. We also throw some shade on pre-ordering games, discuss the new DC trailers from Comicon, and pay our respects to the passing of one of our childhood gaming heroes.  

Hosts: Chris Norris, Vince, Dave

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to another episode of four white guys talking in a room! Where we bring you the latest and greatest on: our misspent university education, our pilfering of liquidating book stores, our opinions on media studies, and how our love of craft beer can only be defeated by our lack of will to buy said craft beer. We even talk about Dostoevsky, Russian literature's crazy uncle. We're pretty much insufferable.

There's some video game stuff too I guess. Eventually.

With special guest Keir Miron, programmer for The Darkest Dungeon and noted basketball historian, we continue our path into sports madness by giving the NBA playoffs its due. And by its due I mean Keir teaches us everything because we know absolutely nothing. Except for slow motion dunking. We know a suspicious amount on slow motion dunking.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We had to throw something together at the last minute this week, so we sit down and talk about the Bill's interaction with public school high school sex ed. Man I hope that sounds less weird to you than it does to me. We also go back to talking about video games, because we had nothing else planned at the last minute, so we talk on Clicker Heroes, Dragonball Xenoverse,  Hotline Miami 2, and how depressing 2015's lineup looks to be.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We conclude our depraved spiral into shoddily-painted fantasy madness 
this week, as our stalwart heroes beat up people who look kind of like
goblins, set themselves on fire, kill each other repeatedly (both 
accidentally and on purpose), and as a general rule make everything 
they touch just a little bit worse. 

This is Part Two of our two-part series, as we play through our own 
take on a cult tabletop favourite. And we play it the only way we know
how.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In keeping with our evolution, transitioning away from silly video games and into discussion topics far out of our breadth and scope, today dear readers we're going to be shedding some light on the history of ISIS. If we're not all killed first. We discuss their origins within the Middle East, the events that led to their current status as a household name, and also how they can be related to anime if you really want to try hard enough. As we all certainly do. 

We talk about ISIS' twitter presence, their psychological effect on the international community, how the Middle East is now the Wild West, and that the origins of ISIS and even Al Qaeda can be traced back to a drunk 20-something from New York. For real.

On the Show: Chris Norris, Dave, Emery, Mike

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In the midst of making fun of Dave's embarrassing fighting game abilities, we discuss what everyone's talking about these days: YA. Or Young Adult fiction, for the plebs. We also somehow get mired in talking about Entourage, Wachowski films, and just end up talking about the eventual rights of robots. Also video games too, I guess.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We somehow manage not to scare away our special guest this week, as Nels Anderson - game designer of Firewatch and Mark of the Ninja and host of the podcast Terminal 7 - joins us while we get down to the real important topics: holiday food conspiracies. We also discuss Firewatch, the origins of Campo Santo, and how they enslave robots to be office administrators. We're also told we need to try Netrunner, play "Is That *Really* a Superhero?", and find out there is (almost) no limit to what Chris would do to raise money for children.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We start this week with horror stories, and we end this week with horror stories, with some real talk on programming in the middle, thanks to our special guest Keir Miron, lead programmer for Darkest Dungeon. We also discuss the Wii U turnaround, postulate what Criterion's up to, and realize how video game decapitation transcends all genres. Emery also lets us know that 2048 taught him existence is meaningless, and that FTL is still a pretty good game. We also learn about plonking, which is incidentally something you can't unlearn.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week, special guest and host of the awesome podcast "That Thing You Like" joins our merry band, and we start the festivities by fighting about Ben Affleck. We also discuss sports, Shovel Knight, League of Legend fantasy drafts, some game called Dark Souls 2, and the night-black abyss that is violent adult anime, specifically Berserk and Attack on Titan. We also steal some idea from another podcast and have our first ever "Versus Round", where we come to the truest argument of our age: tacos or burritos.

  <media:text type="plain"><![CDATA[This week, Norris, Emery, Vince, and returning guest Chris Westaway talk about how everyone in Final Fantasy Ten was secretly dead, how to neg your essay-graders into giving you a higher mark, video games making you cry, Korean romantic comedies, books with stupid type-settings, Macpixel, wheelchair accessibility, lost episodes of Seinfeld, Carrie Fisher's iconic status, diversity, Asian characters on Arrested Development, Super House of Dead Ninjas, European simulator games, the relationship between wrestling and singer/songwriters, solving the homeless problem the Alberta way, Double Fine's kickstarter trouble, and reddit pick-up artists. It gets weird.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week on Hopped-Up Gaming we discuss daddy issues through the frame of Final Fantasy Ten, how Candy Crush was created in a government laboratory, Pandora's Tower, and how gaming is (obviously) better in Poland. We also, starting at roughly the forty minute mark and with great thanks to this week's fantastic guests, do our best to give an in-depth discussion regarding feminism in gaming - the issues, the obstacles women are having to overcome, and hopefully our hopes for a less abrasive, asshole-filled future.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's a shorter episode this week, though still chock-full of content, with some talk on the installation of Linux, anime sex-monsters, Battlefield 3 harassment, and pondering on what's up with Kirby. We also discuss the podcast's new Citizen-Kane-based review system, the Deep Web, The Flash's Cosmic Treadmill, and Microsoft backpedaling on their DRM requirements, which we call "The Xboner." Not really.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week, on a very special episode of Hopped-Up Gaming, we have not one but two very special guests, who are more than game at assisting our inane efforts to discuss such topics as the deeper meta-narrative of Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon, the death of Blockbuster and video game rentals, and our preparation for the cougarpocalypse. We also talk about the agony and ecstasy that is Fez, have a heated argument about Bioshock Infinite, and some of us talk about sports games while the rest of us go to the bathroom.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[After a week like this, it's hard to know just what a podcast like this is really about, with discussions on such myriad topics as the history of beer shotgunning, Korean softcore pornography, fish genocide, inverted castles, and cross-dressing documentaries. We also discussion our suspicions that Frank Miller's a Rothschild, how easy it is to fall into a wrestling hole, and how Netflix knows our darkest, innermost secrets. #dontfreejahar

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The gang's all here this week on Hopped-Up Gaming, and we're celebrating this fact by actually talking about video games. We spend a lot of time discussing Bioshock Infinite's alternate history and our subsequent nerd desire towards it, Starcraft 2, Dark Souls, the people who are mean to us on the internet, and how Antichamber, this month's book club game, broke our stupid monkey brains. We also drink the same beer we've drank previously, make some inappropriate jokes, and struggle through (and eventually conquer) more technical difficulties. All this and an underlying tone of self-loathing on this week's episode of Hopped-Up Gaming!

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The HUG boys keep it light and lazy this, with only the original four in attendance. Emotions still run high though, with discussions on such topics as the resurgent Cola Wars, the film career of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and our admittance that we have no idea how to actually review beer.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The HUG boys get phat with a "ph" this week by rolling deep in such game-related topics as toilet brands, online Uno sex dens, adults earnestly complaining about children's games, the Harkness Test, South Korean pornographic law, MMA movies, and 12th-century racism. We also talk about how all our zombocalypse plans involve either fixing helicopters or killing ourselves as quickly as possible, why Libertarian college football players should never be allowed to become president, gundam foreign policy, as well as Sim City and our feelings towards DRM in PC gaming.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[On this, a video game podcast, we discuss our favourite albums of all time, which leads to a passionate defense by special guest Jenna for the Charlies' Angels soundtrack, Norris finally gets a nickname, Mike talks about Alan Wake and Dragon Age: Origins, Vince discusses Dead Space 3 and also mad video game spoilers, while Emery gets upset at people who don't want shitty games spoiled for them. We also discuss this month's Book Club game, which, like all good book clubs, only one of us actually finished. Regardless we still spend an inordinate amount of time discussing Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, while also coining the term "faux-pama", discussing the light-hearted fun that is "Amour", and talking about the loveliest part of America - Appalachia.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week's HUGcast starts somber, but ends with a bang, as we say goodbye to our good friend and podcaster Mr Dave Alexander, as he leaves to Korea (the good one). We celebrate his last show with us the only way we can, with erotic Korean shot glasses, Soju-bombs, discussions of off-brand vodka, and an admission of the scary depths a man playing a Civilization game can go. We also discuss iOS games, learning to play bass with Rocksmith, and a discussion on the current state of jRPGs. Most importantly, we finally get to unburden our souls by discussing Indigo Prophecy, our inaugural "Book Club" game! Hwan-Yeong!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Despite an aborted introduction, Hopped-Up Gaming is back for this special 22nd episode! This week we discuss riveting, important gaming topics such as antagonistic Wii Fit goals, Roman heaven, and prudent UDraw investments. We also talk about wearing letterman's jackets to gaming conventions, drugs made out of car tires, and the kind of people who create unboxing videos. There's very little actually about video games this week, but we do talk a lot about Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, and Drugs Inc, so don't worry we're still kind of on topic.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Hopped-Up Gaming boys get testy this week, especially when we start discussing such important topics as Aerosmith-themed roller coasters, the lineage of Donkey Kong characters, our poor gaming book club decisions, and short-sighted zombocalypse strategies. We also wax philosophical about the ups and downs of Star Wars video games, the over-saturation of sandbox games, big characters named Tiny, and past video game titles we think changed genres. All this and a startling display of hatred towards the Les Miserables film can be found on this episode of Hopped-Up Gaming!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The boys of Hopped-Up Gaming don't care how many 12's are on the calendar, they're bringing in the true holiday spirit this week with a barrage of heartwarming childhood Christmas stories, video game rage, and how all games are stealing from Norse mythology. We also determine that comparing Ulysses to an internet webcomic makes you a bad person, the shocking similarities between bronies and evangelical christians, that the world of Far Cry 3 is inhabited solely by douchebags, and that the people who complain about the Video Game Awards winners should be jailed without trial. All this and more on this week's episode of Hopped-Up Gaming!

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week starts off with both a bang and a whimper, as we discuss our favourite Judea-themed beer and all the politically-incorrect pitfalls that it comes with, how The Village People killed disco, and if the moment where you're shooting down helicopters on the back of a horse is the moment Call of Duty jumped the shark. There's also talk about video game portrayls in film, how Mischief Makers is hands-down the best game ever made, and the most tragic N64-related childhood story you'll ever hear. Finally, we spend an inordinate amount of time going though and breaking down Spec Ops: The Line, arguably one of the most important games we've played this year, as well as how we're all dealing with our post-traumatic stress.

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[HUG and company take this week to get back to what's really important, drinking weird liquors and waxing philosophical about video games, tv, and film, including the story-telling aspects of "The Walking Dead" game, a passionate defense for "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", and the inherent dangers of both basketball players and their dreaded "Chaos Dunk". We also talk about the pros and cons of Dark Souls, the trials and tribulations of Max Payne, and the deep dark place that Spec Ops: The Line will take your psyche. Also, we shit on the Wii U launch for a while, but I feel like everyone's been doing that lately.

  <title><![CDATA[Episode 14: "Do You Think They Play-Tested Hitler's Balls?"]]></title>
  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This week the HUG boys try and fail to maintain their class and civility, while discussing topics such as the clusterfuck that is Halo 4 offline splitscreen, the relationship between screen-peeking and class warfare, how the world desperately needs a return of "Battlebots". We also discuss the insanity that is ARMA 2, Track IR, James Bond homo-eroticism, and our belief that South Korea is weaponizing the music industry. And maybe, if you're lucky, we talk about video games that let you shoot Hitler's testicles. All this and more on this week's episode of Hopped-Up Gaming!

  <description>
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The top scientific minds behind Hopped-Up Gaming bring what may be their greatest advancement to date: the creation and live taste-testing of Faux Loko, our own off-brand Energy Drink Malt Liquor! While performing this service for you, the listener, we also dig deep into the heart of a number of other important topics, including Canadian hospital extortion rackets, Halo 4 and its relation to internet feminism, the best music to shoot terrorists to, and whether the proper pronounciation is "i-O-S" or "Eye-Os". We also discuss our hatred for Angry Birds, our love for Saturday Morning RPG, what happens when you combine the "Bang Bus" with mythological creatures, and Norris' break-up with Assassin's Creed 3. All this and more on Hopped-Up Gaming!
