Hello there! It's been a while since we've done a Game of the Year podcast! Why don't we gather The HUGE Crew around the microphones and cobble together a list of good games from 2025? Beer Featured: Ain't nobody got time for that! It's GOTY season!

Games Discussed: - Silent Hill f - Strange Antiquities - Hades 2 - Peak - Switch 2 - Sunderfolk - Seance At Blake Manor - Silksong - ... and at least a couple others I forgot to write down. Like what you hear? Join us in our discord at bit.ly/hoppedupdiscord!

Hey, at least we got the number right this time!

Don't believe anything you might hear, this is totally episode 547. Yes sir. 546? Who told you that? Well whoever it was, they were lying.

Surprise! It's an episode do late we thought it was lost forever... until it wasn't! Pardon our dust as this one has been hiding in the depths of an external hard drive for a while so the takes may not be as hot off the presses as you've come to expect from the HUGE Crew! Topic's Discussed: Propeller Arcade Gooners and/or Gooning Mickey 17 Gundam GQuuuuuX Monster Hunter Wilds The Expanse

The gang finally managed to get another BG3 Day on the books, so you know what that means! They recorded an in person podcast first! Matt speculates on Magic, Ben has been Sleeping on his Citizen duties (again), Evan has Avowed to leave his barbaric ways behind and ponder his grimoire, and Tim gets down with the Rift(ness) of the Necrodancer! Beer Discussed: Bounty Hunter Imperial Stout by Bellwoods Brewing Co.

Well. it's been a while since I (Matthew) have recorded and edited one of these podcasts! Turns out, I'm a bit out of practice cause I goofed up and recorded everyone's audio to my track! Sorry about the dubious quality this week! I promise it'll be better next time! As for things you can expect to hear about on this episode, you can look forward to learning about Nosferatu, Netrunner, The Roottrees are Dead, and more! Beer's Discussed: An Assortment of local pumpkin beers

Prompt: Get all the members of The HUGE Crew (Ben, Matt, Evan, Tim, and Dylan) to record a podcast. On the podcast they can talk about things like beer and video games. They should focus on having a disucssion about the best games that they played in the year 2024. Make sure it's light and cheerful conversation, nothing too serious or sad. They can goof around a bit, but make sure the visual gags are limited. This is an audio only podcast after all. At the end of the podcast have the hosts create a list of the 10 best games of 2024. HDR, Colour, high contrast, 192kbps, 4k res, 4k rez, 4k resoultion, 5 star podcast.

Pay no attention to any in episode mentions of when this may or may not have been recorded. Any indications that this was recorded several months ago are purely co-incidental.  GOTY recordings to come soon, stay tuned! Beer's Discussed: An Assortment of local pumpkin beers

Summer has taken us hostage, this is our proof-of-life recording.

After several weeks probing the depths of other tropey trek episodes, the HUGE Crew have returned to settle their unfinished business from our season opener. How many of these two parters will stick the landing? Will this prove a worthwhile endeavour, or would we all be better off if these episodes got blasted by a Krenim timeship? And most importantly, how many lights will they see?   Episodes Discussed: TNG - Chain of Command, Part 2 DS9 - By Inferno's Light VOY - Year of Hell, Part 2

Ben, Tim, and the rest of the crew hop in our time machines and travel to 1968, 2022, and 2024 to follow the temporal hijinx of various Starfleet officers that just so happen to find themselves sent back in time to the exact time and place that the episodes themselves are being filmed, what a fortuitous coincidence! So grab some street meat, head to #10 Forward St, and watch out for sentient space cats that might actually be devious women in disguise, and prepare to discuss this week's episodes: TOS - Assignment Earth SNW - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow PIC - The Watcher Next week we conclude this second season of Trek Tropes by wrapping up the two parters that we started with: TNG - Chain of Command (Pt 2) DS9 - By Inferno's Light VOY - Year of Hell (Pt 2)

Lots of TV shows have their horny episodes, but Trek has got that special brand of WEIRDLY HORNY that involves reading particulary erotic sections of your grandmother's diary and getting friendzoned by your holographic crush who fell for your therapist instead. Oh, and don't forget about getting so outrageously horny you decide to murder your boss in blind rage. This weeks episodes: TOS - Amok Time TNG - Sub Rosa VOY - Alter Ego Next week we tackle episodes that send our heroes catapulting back into the distant past...that just so happens to be the present day that the episode was being recorded in, and wouldn't you know it, they're on Earth too! TOS - Assignment: Earth SNW - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow PIC - The Watcher

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
