Achievement Hunting 101

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 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!

• ElroyOMJ - Wargroove 2, Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap, Retro Classics, Sifu, and Maiden Cops

This Week's Panel - Exe the Hero, WSTLNDRJoe

 

Show Discussion - WSTLNDRJoe is back in the house! Elroy couldn't make it this week, but Exe was lucky enough to have the perfect replacement. And you're lucky enough to hear it!

This week, Joe talks about a gamepass hidden gem while also discussing the repetitive job of West Coast law enforcement. Exe balances that out by discussing one of the biggest new titles to come to Xbox and tossing in a smattering of hidden cats. Most important, there's not a single mention of beat ‘em ups anywhere to be found this week. Thanks for the week off, Elroy! (Love that guy)
