Achievement Hunting 101

Level 121 - I Like To Keep My Hands Busy

Nate played the Xbox Series X exclusive Bright Memory. Did he make Corey jealous? Ell got his Series X! What did he play first and what boneheaded move did he make? Corey played a niche game involving drones. Kenny played a classic game from....2006? Only took him 14 years. Ell played the super SCARY Goosebumps. What old school game did it remind him of?

The community question asked us what we notice first when we make a new friend on TrueAchievements.  We announce the winners of the Streak King challenge, break down the GTASC losers, and read off the milestones of the community! There's something here for everyone, so check us out, we are on a casserole!

 

Your next favorite segment kicks off as bros Elroy and Chewie spit some fire of truth as they both have something to say and they are both right. Give these bros a listen as they address speed running lunacy and the best game ever created by the bros at Telltale in the most sizzling hot take and bro fusion segment ever aired on AH101's airwaves.  It is Hot Takes from the Broderlands.   #gains&sizzles   CAUTION: may singe eyeBROws.

This week for Waka's Weird Wonders, Wakapeil talks about Turok Escape from Lost Valley. (2:12:03)

Level 119 - The Definition of Insanity

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

Our main topic of conversation revolves around achievement lists being modified after release to become easier. Do we like this? Is this fair to the people who have completed the game already? Shouldn't the developer be entitled to some attention leading to fresh sales?

Nate is beating yet another server closure! Ell is insane for playing the same game more than once in the pursuit of a completion. Kenny kicks some doors down! Corey tells us untold stories about Stories Untold. Mind. Blown.

Fufu's too busy to play games, but at least he's not dancing to GTASC's tune. Nate completes another game about to leave Game Pass in time to start another game about to leave Game Pass.

The XBox Hall of Fame is apparently a thing. Think you have a shot at earning your way in?

Corey spends some time with baby's second platformer based on a successful internet streaming franchise. Nate plays a good "Bad" game and tries to wash off the sewer stink of a bad copycat of a good game.
