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?

HUGE 534 - The Three Minus One Host Problem
Hopped-Up Gaming: East
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
Hopped-Up Gaming: East
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!

Hopped-Up Gaming: East
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!
info_outlineSomeone left Ben and Tim unsupervised around the mics again, and wouldn't you know it those scamps have gone and recorded a podcast episode.
They also somehow managed a conversational leap from the Game Awards to signing a pact to watch two of the saddest movies on the planet together. They're still not sure how that happened exactly so you'll just have to listen and find out so you can tell them over at bit.ly/hoppedupdiscord!
