Achievement Hunting 101

Level 371 - My 80s Nostalgia and Me #Diabetus

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, FreakyRO

 

Show Discussion - Three hundred and seventy one levels and the podcast is still trying to get up that great big hill of chievos… for a completion. Elroy and Freaky realized quickly when they knew they should, that the world was made up of this brotherhood (of xbox) for whatever that means… and so they score GS sometimes when they’re lying in bed. Just to get it all out and on their tag and they speak at the top of their lungs… What's going on?

 

Games Mentioned:

• ElroyOMJ - Cocoon, Stunt Paradise, Retro Classics, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction
• FreakyRO - Remnant: From the Ashes, Blue Prince, My Horse & Me 2, Little Kitty Big City, Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man (Atari 2600)

Level 367 - Johnny Utah has Paint on his Hands

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, FaustianGreed

 

Show Discussion - FaustianGreed makes his debut on AH101 and reveals terrible strategies for approaching both the GTASC as well as how to keep your girlfriend. He then performs a decent sales pitch for a great game, but unfortunately the only person listening to him is a ruined gamer that is more interested in a movie that came out over thirty years ago. Elroy then discusses a knock off PowerWash simulator that forgets to simulate fun… or risk.

Level 365 - Achievement Unlocked: Pleasantries Shared

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, pTartTX

 

Show Discussion - pTart returns to the podcast in what can only be described as very round about achievement talk only to arrive in Malibu and Overcooked in space.   If you are into pleasantries this is your jam.  If you are into achievements and gaming you need to just go play The Count Lucanor.   If you are into unlocking the mysteries of the world such as “what is acroyoga?”, “can I grill soy?”, and so much more then indulge greatly.  If you are into amazing up to date Game Pass news, Gamescom in depth reviews, and general timely updates, then there’s a Count who goes by Lucanor waiting for you.  Pretty. Bada Bing, bada boom.

 

Games Mentioned:

• ElroyOMJ - Fueled Up (Overfueled & Overpriced), Shark Adventure, The Count Lucanor
• pTartTX - Barbie Project Friendship, SokoCrab, The Count Lucanor

Level 364 - Building A Head of Steam

This Week's Panel - KooshMoose, wildwest08

 

Show Discussion - It's upside-down week on AH101 as Koosh plays a simulation management game well before it leaves Game Pass. Not to be out upside-downed, wildwest plays a somewhat cozy fishing / Cthulu-esque Game Pass game.

* Spoiler alert - It was.

 

Games Mentioned:

Level 363 - I Grind, You Grind, He/She/It Grinds

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, Exe the Hero

 

Show Discussion - “I'll grind your bones to make my bread!” - That's what Exe shouted while he was playing his game this week (probably). Meanwhile, Elroy has forgotten how to do a panel and brings you another assortment of games, all of which he played while comfortably seated on the ground. Ground is the past tense of grind! Tony Hawk also features lots of grinding, but we've already discussed that in a previous show. Anyway, please enjoy this week's episode while you go back to the old grind! Maybe have a grinder sandwich for lunch while you secretly browse dating apps!

 

Games Mentioned:

• Exe the Hero - Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey Remastered
• ElroyOMJ - Wargroove 2, Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap, Retro Classics, Sifu, and Maiden Cops
