We get together every week to talk up the news in gaming, the games we're playing, and basically whatever else might come up. Oh yeah, we drink and rate beer that we don't properly know how to evaluate.

HUGE 537 - Trek Tropes S2 - The Two Parter Part 1
Kept you waiting, huh?
Yeah, sorry about that! The good news is that these Trek Tropes episodes are all recorded, edited, and scheduled, so your next four episodes will for sure come out on time and on schedule. Or, if Ben screws up, they might ALL be available right now!
In this first episode of our second round of Trek Tropes, Ben, Tim, and the crew discuss the first parts of several major Trek two parters, discuss some pros and cons of two part structures, and wonder if this whole Trek tropes thing was a good idea after all.
This Week's Episodes:
TNG - Chain of Command (Pt 1)
DS9 - In Purgatory's Shadow
VOY - Year of Hell (Pt 1)
In a surprise twist however, next weeks episodes are NOT the conclusions to our two parters, instead we'll use those to bookend this series, and next week will be THE WEIRDLY HORNY episodes:
TOS - Amok Time
TNG - Sub Rosa
VOY - Alter Ego -
HUGE 536 - The Return of Trek Tropes!
Co-Captains Ben and Tim are here to chat about what they played, watched, and read this week, but more importantly, to announce Season 2 of Trek Tropes!
They did it once, and by god they're going to do it again! If you want to watch along at home, the assigned trope for next episode is "TWO PARTERS: PART 1", and your episodes to watch are:
Chain of Command Pt 1 (TNG-S6E10) In Purgatory's Shadow (DS9 - S5E14) Year of Hell Pt 1 (VOY - S4E08) -
HUGE 535 - It Has Been Zero Days Since The Last Destiny 2 Incident
RED ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! BEN HAS FALLEN OF THE DESTINY 2 SOBRIETY WAGON AGAIN!
In lieu of flowers, please send a Buried Bloodline exotic sidearm to MadMaritimer#4486.
Beer Discussed:
Banished Brewing's Space Puffin NEIPA
Propeller Brewing's Southbound IPA -
HUGE 534 - The Three Minus One Host Problem
We're operating on a skeleton crew this week as only Ben and Tim have answered the call to record.
They start strong with a dangerously large pour and a stupendously strong IPA, and end perhaps inevitably, on a full blown rant about the 3 Body Problem books. If a host isn't using his podcast as pseudo therapy, is he even podcasting? -
HUGE 533 - We Beefed April Fools
In this definitely not delayed (we're sorry) episode, Evan, Tim, and Ben gather around the microphones for a laid back Regular Show (TM). Evan talks some more about his addiction to clearing open world objectives in FFVII Rebirth, Ben sells the gang on Dragon's Dogma 2, and Tim pitches an absolute acid trip of a movie called Destroy All Neighbors!

HUGE 532 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Book Club
Buckle up, it's time for another HUGE BOYS BOOK CLUB!
It took a couple of weeks, but we finally managed to get everyone to finish Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, so now we're gonna talk about the whole dang game this week!
