Hopped-Up Gaming: East Hopped-Up Gaming: East

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)

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

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?

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!

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!

It's a new episode of the podcast that is out on the day it's supposed to come out! This one is still hot from the podcasting oven, so enjoy it while it's fresh!
Next week we'll REALLY be back with our first Book Club of the year, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice!
