Achievement Hunting 101

Level 156 - A Verry Super Humman Episode!

Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, rawkerdude5012

This is the AH101 TV Show! Today we will be jumping into a pool filled with toasters and barbed wire! This is for all the juggalos and juggalettes! Do NOT try this at home, and I hope you like it. Woop Woop!

This Week's Topic - How much of a (non baby) game do you need to play before you decide if you want to keep going with it? Does the list (easy, hard, grindy) play a part at all?

Ell reflected on Reflection of Mine. Corey tried to beat a Game Pass removal with Undermine. Koosh sadly didn't play a game with the word "mine" in it, but he went back to his roots to play a new Game Pass addition!

We talked about games coming....real soon, discussed all the new Game Pass additions, and confused Koosh with Super Humman talk!

Roses are red
Violets are Blue
One list is good
The other is poo

Bridge Constructor Waka - Wakapeil is joined by Exe the Hero to talk about the Bridge Constructor games.

Nate was trying to beat the Max Payne 3 server closure. Ell was trying to beat Gutwhale. Corey was trying to beat his me...troidvania game. We all tried to beat dead horses. We all succeeded.

We talked about games coming....real soon, discussed the new TA contest entitled Jake Jump, and googled Max Payne with Safesearch off while sharing a screen. PSA - Don't do that.

Ell played a 20 year old FPS as well as a puzzle board game that totally didn't rip off Mario Party. Kenny showed his true colors saying DC is better than Marvel.

Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, Matrarch, InigoMontoya80

Ell is back after moving to his new house! There are boxes everywhere, but the only important one is the Xbox! 

Once again, Ell channeled his inner old man and played an old school point and click game! Matrarch played an old school RPG and reminisced about the days of yore. Koosh also played an old school RPG and wondered what he was doing with his life. Inigo shockingly played a racing game, but it had unobtainables! Why did he commit such a cardinal sin?

Level 151 - The E3 Amigos

This week's panel - KooshMoose, rawkerdude5012, Vulgar Latin

E3 is virtually over but it's your Lucky Day! - we've got three friends ready to talk about their gaming week and E3 reactions. No need to talk of Dusty Bottoms in the E3 roster, we only talk about our favorites. Ned Nederlander is a also a name.

The dynamic duo is back with a not very sequential at all (good thing they’re not math teachers) segment focusing on games where the ratio is too damn high! Or too low. Basically, you should just tune in for some classic Exe and Elroy shenanigans - lots of rambling, shouting, puns, and giggles galore! (1:27:40)

It's time for another Waka's Weird Wonders. This time it's Boom Blaster by special request. (2:21:16)

Level 149 - A Podcast with Contrast

This week's panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, rawkerdude, FuFuCuddilyPoof

Our monthly live episode is here! May's Star Wars themed contest is finally over. We played a LOT of games for Gamerscore. What did we play?

Ell played possibly the worst game he has ever played. Koosh played Shady Part of Me. It reminded Ell of a game but he's not sure which. Rawker played a game that he wished would just die already. FuFu celebrated a proud completion!

We talk about games coming....real soon, have terrible salegues, and beat dead horses.

Elroy, Exe & Chewie settle down once again to discuss their shameful abandonment issues.  Skipping through life's cutscenes, overcoming the improbable, rage rating and forgetting to remember are all laid bare. It's like therapy but with more rambling and funny accents.

Waka faces Warface and lives to tell the tell. Warface never changes, Waka never dies.
