Trophy Talk Network

Hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! In this , our 92nd episode, the crew has gathered to discuss what we've been playing for the past few weeks which include some real quackers if you know what we're saying. For starters though, we provide an update on our trophy hunting race over in our Discord, which by the time you're hearing this, is nearing completion! From there we take a second to pause and reflect on our gaming goals for the year. Have we been tackling our backlogs as much as we wanted? Are we still as focused on upping our completion percentage as we were at the start of the year? The results vary of course! After that we get into our Patreon submitted questions which cover topics such as PlayStation Stars on console, what we think the biggest flop out of PlayStation and Sony is in recent years, and what our favorite console from Sony has been. We end the show with what we've been playing with games ranging from Untitled Goose Game, TMNT: Shredders Revenge, Final Fantasy 6, Quake 2, and much more. Thank you so much for your support and for listening to our show, we hope you enjoy!

Hello there everybody! Welcome back to another episode of your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting show! On this week's episode the gang is back down to it's core three member show and has a lot to catch up on. Darryl has been hitting the gym regularly and is feeling nice and beefed up, ready to regale us all with tales of TMNT Mutant Mayhem, as well as a trophy list review for a musical RPG in the same style as older Telltale Games. That's right, he's talking about Stray Gods! Slugger meanwhile brings forth Remnant 2 for discussion, and the crew is generally very impressed with how straightforward the trophy list seems. Colin rounds out the trophy list reviews with Quake 2, another surprise release from Quakecon 2023. But does this game's trophy list hold up when compared to the original remaster? Well in short, no. The trophy list is bland and simple, devoid of most creativity. That doesn't mean that Colin won't be picking it up and playing it though, as his obsession with boomer shooters continues to grow. On top of all that the team discusses what games we would want to trophy hunt in first if for some reason we had to start all over, and what we would want PSNP and Discord to do to help show off more of our favorite series and Platinum's. Thank you to all the Patreon supporters of the show, and thank you all so much for listening!

Hello and welcome everybody, to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! As you could tell from the title and from the thumbnail, we've got another special guest for you this episode. We're joined all the way from the UK by Maxximum Carnage! Max is a long time member (3 years ish) of our Discord and podcast community, and an avid lover of all things Final Fantasy. It seemed fitting that he should join us for this episode where we talk about what we've been playing and dig deep into Final Fantasy 16. One thing to note, even though Max and Slugger talk for some 40 minutes about the game, no plot points or details are spoiled and the conversation is kept largely to generalities, and the trophies. That discussion is at the end of the show though so what comes first? Well as we've talked about for a few episodes now, this episode features the final round of the trophy guessing game, where Slugger and Darryl see if they can end up with more points than Colin. Additionally, the crew goes into Patreon submitted questions concerning our goals for the future of Trophy Talk, what other Podcast ideas we have, and if we look forward to the PS+ essential, extra, or premium announcements most. This is our longest episode to date but we had a blast recording it, and hope that you enjoy listening. Thank you all, and happy gaming!

Well hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk. For the first time in over a month, the original crew is back together to discuss all your Patreon submitted questions, trophy related news stories, and an assortment of newly released trophy lists. This episode featured some great thought provoking questions for us to dissect and mull over, and we hope that you enjoy listening to us discuss them as much as we enjoyed recording our thoughts. For starters, Colin wants to know what happened with Stranded Deep. The once free with PS+ essential survival game, received a patch recently that makes the platinum easily obtainable in it's new co-op game mode. Is this something that makes sense to go after and how do we feel about this Ultra Rare platinum becoming way more obtainable? From there we discuss great book recommendations, our favorite homecooked meals, gaming soundtracks that we consistently return to, and what our dream jobs are. We dwell on these topics for quite some time as they were a lot of fun. Finally we close up shop with three trophy list reviews. Colin is optimistic about all things Capcom recently, including the Exoprimal trophy list. Slugger continues his love of rogue lite / like games with Rogue Legacy 2, and Darryl continues to find fun survival horror indie games in his review of Gylt. We sincerely thank you for listening, and for your support. We'll be back in two weeks time with a very exciting episode of what we've been playing, we'll reveal more details on that in the coming week or so. Take care, and happy gaming! =)

Hey there folks! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! Much like last time in Episode 87, Episode 88 features an all new special guest to the show, The Portland Kevin! Kevin is a long time trophy hunter, podcaster, and a more recent member of our Discord community and we welcome him to the show to talk about all things trophies and gaming. We begin with a bit of background on how Kevin got into trophy hunting, and how he approaches it today before getting into our Patreon submitted questions, and what we've been playing. Patreon topics include how and when we would introduce our kids to gaming, and what potential changes we'd like to see Sony make to the trophy ecosystem if we were in charge. For what we've been playing we cover a massive array of varying titles all the way from Star Wars: Battlefront to Diablo IV, 88 Heroes, and Ghostrunner. This episode is a beefy one but it has some great conversation, and discussion. We hope that you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Well hello there everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! This week we have a little shakeup with our hosting line up as Darryl was sadly unable to make this week's recording. However, in his absence we welcome a new Platinum Patron supporter to the show and long time listener, Skrilus, to his first guest appearance! The gang starts off by talking about the recent slew of gaming showcases and what impressions we took away from the news cycle that ensued. After that we go over our Patreon submitted questions where we discuss things like what the best sandwich is, what we consider to be the weirdest thing we've ever eaten, how we manage our gaming time on the weekends and evenings, as well as our thoughts on hidden loading screens in games. Finally, to end the show we review three new trophy lists in Final Fantasy 16, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Amnesia: The Bunker. Thank you so much for listening, and happy gaming! Take care!

Hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! In this, our 86th episode we switch up the sequencing of our episode just a little bit, to allow for a greater conversation at the top about what we've been playing. If you couldn't tell from the beautiful thumbnail , Slugger, Darryl, and Colin have all been playing Tom Clancy's: The Division. While it's a clean up game for Slugger and Colin, Darryl is along for the ride and making some great progress on previously unobtained DLC trophies. It's a very fun game, especially coop, and we hope you enjoy our conversation around it. After that we get into our Patreon submitted questions with topics ranging from the serious to the outlandish. Would we go back in time and not pop our first trophy if we could? What did we do to entertain ourselves as kids before gaming? What game would we want remade and brought out of obscurity? All of these questions and more are behind the play button. To round things out we end our show with the return of the lightning round. Thanks for listening, please don't forget to like or upvote our show as it helps us find a new audience. Happy gaming and take care!

Hello there everyone! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk, your favorite bi-weekly Trophy Hunting Show! This week, as Darryl is on vacation all the way in Japan, Slugger and Colin are left to record a duo episode for you all. We don't think you'll dissapointed though, as topics and discussions in this week's episode cover a wide array of issues, games, and ideas! With Darryl out, we once again elected to skip the lightning round and the trophy guessing game at the top of the show, but don't worry we'll pick those up again in Episode 86. For trophy list reviews this episode Colin talks about Lego 2K Drive and Slugger goes over the indie darling, Humanity. Of course we also answer all of show write ins from our Patrons, which continue to impress us. What exactly would the trophy list for League of Legends be if Colin got to write one? What video game worlds would Slugger want to explore and vacation in? Just how crazy is the rarity of Crypt of the Necrodancer? All of this and more is just behind the play button. Thank you for listening, and happy gaming!

Hello hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting show! This week, we're talking about the games we've been playing for the month of April and some of early May, as well as answering questions from you, the community. On top of that we have another round of the trophy guessing game, answers from the previous episodes lightning round, and a PlayStation + round up. The community had some great questions this time, and the discussion was pretty thorough, so we hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening!

Welcome back everyone, to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! Episode 83 sees the team turn back towards some trophy list reviews for newly released titles, and we think we picked a pretty eclectic mix of games this time. Colin waxes poetic in seemingly another language discussing the lore and easter egg call backs in The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story's trophy list, Darryl takes us deep into the vibes of LA culture with Dead Island 2, and Slugger goes back to nostalgia with his examination of the colorful and unique, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection: Volume 1. Before all that, the group goes through another round of the trophy guessing game, answers your Patreon submitted questions, and more. We close out the episode as always with the return of the Lightning Round where Colin continues to maintain a few point lead. Is he getting extra points for being the host? Who can say. We hope that you enjoy the episode, and we will be back in Episode 84 for what we have been playing in the month of April. Take care and happy gaming! =)

Hello and welcome back everyone, to another episode of Trophy Talk! Episode 82 was a beefy one and we had a blast recording it. The main of our discussion centers around our experience playing through "Resident Evil 4 Remake". We discuss the structure, the story, the trophies, and the difficulty. The discussion begins around the 1 hour and 20 minute mark, and does contain spoilers so be warned! Before we get into that though we touch on the PS+ Essential titles for April, compete in another round of our trophy guessing game, and answer Patreon submitted questions. Topics for those questions this week include how we feel about services that allow trophy hunters to pay to unlock trophies, what our first games we remember playing were, what ultra rare platinum trophies we would theoretically want to go after, and how we reward ourselves after earning a Platinum trophy. Thank you for listening and supporting, and we hope you enjoy the show! =)

Hello there everyone, and thanks for joining us on another episode of Trophy Talk! In Episode 81 the boys are taking a little trip, we're packing our sun screen and board shorts and heading over to check out some islands. That's right, some could even call us island boys. Two of the trophy lists reviewed during this episode come to us from small developers who are not only based on real life islands, but whose games take place on and around such places. These games are "Tchia," and "Dredge," both of which are less than $30.00 and both of which seem to have some really inventive mechanics and trophy lists. Rounding out the trio of reviewed lists is the big hitter, "Resident Evil 4 (Remake)," which Colin reviews with child like enthusiasm making comparisons on how it's challenge runs and lists compare with the rest of the main line series. On either side of those reviews are the trophy guessing game, Patreon submitted questions, and this episodes Lightning Round. We hope that you enjoy the show and thanks so much for listening!

Hello there everyone, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! As you can guess from the thumbnail and from the title, we have a special guest this week, Patthetrophyhunter. Pat has been a long time listener, and supporter of the show, and regularly streams his trophy hunt adventures over on Twitch. He joins us this week for his second appearance on the show to cover a wide array of topics, and go over what we've all been playing for the past few week period. Pat is a veteran of the trophy hunting community / scene, and provides some expert analysis and critiques of the current trophy eco-system. Topics of discussion for this episode include: 1) What Makes a Great PSN profile, and what do we think would make our own profiles stronger. 2) What are the pros and cons of adding a racing wheel to your setup. 3) How do we feel about the PS4 and PS5 backend infrastructure being built on the building blocks of the PS3 PSN, and do we miss trophies from that era? In addition to that we have the trophy guessing game, lightning round, Discord shout outs, and all the latest info on what Colin, Darryl, Slugger, and Pat have been playing. Thanks very much for listening to the show and please go and give Pat your support / a follow over on his Twitch channel. Link to said Twitch is below. Happy Gaming and much love!

Hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk. In this episode we have got quite the eclectic mix of trophy list reviews for you, in addition to answers to Patreon submitted questions, the next edition of our trophy guessing game, and of course the lightning round. For our Patreon submitted questions, we discuss our future content production pipeline, both for Trophy Talk, and our personal channels, as well as which of our Discord community members we would want to see appear on the show. For trophy list reviews, Colin rants about the seemingly broken mess of "Atomic Heart," Darryl talks about the sci-fi epic story based game of "Deliver Us Mars," and Slugger gets to wax poetic about one of his favorite franchises in "Like a Dragon: Ishin!" Our next episode, episode 80, will feature a long time Patreon supporter and community member Patthetrophyhunter. There we will discuss what games we've been playing for the month of February. Thank you very much for listening, and happy gaming!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk. In episode 78 we get into what the game has been playing for the last few months, and let me tell you, the titles are pretty varied. Colin bounces between the beautiful realism and brutalism of "The Last of Us: Part 1," and "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake." If that doesn't give someone whiplash I don't know what will. Slugger jams out on "Need for Speed Unbound" which entails drifting all corners and dodging cops... a lot of cops. Additionally, Slugger checks out "Mirrors Edge: Catalyst," and "Minecraft: Dungeons," in his journey through cleaning up the backlog. Darryl goes slowly insane while doing six playthroughs of "Erica." However, he gains some of that sanity back by playing both "The Calisto Protocol," and "Dead Space." On top of all this we get through another lightning round, another trophy guessing game, and your Patreon submitted questions. It's a pretty jam packed episode and we hope that you enjoy!

Well hello, hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! In episode 77 of the show we're getting into some brand new games and trophy list reviews, all with varying degrees of excitement and hype surrounding them. Darryl takes us into the horror of Dead Space Remake, Slugger tries to parkour his way through the Forspoken trophy list, and Colin practices some sponge imitation in his examination of SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake. Along the way we ask the hard hitting questions such as; how many bronzes is too much? Why do some trophy lists have doubles of the same trophy and title? Just what exactly is zero gravity basketball? On top of all that we answer your Patreon submitted questions about our dream jobs, the PSVR2, and our impressions so far of HBO's The Last of Us. This episode was a blast to record and we hope that you have a blast listening to it. Remember to check out the Discord for details on the upcoming race beginning February 1st, and if you're so inclined leave us a nice review or thumbs up! Thanks, and happy gaming =)

Well hello there everyone!! We're so happy to be back with our first freshly recorded episode in 2023. We hope that you all have a wonderful Holiday and start to the new year. This episode marks the first episode with Slugger joining us a full time host, and as such we decided to mix it up and add a few new segments and ideas for you all. So, in addition to the gang talking about what they've been playing for the past month or so, we also have a trophy guessing game, a lightning round, and a PS+ round up to add to the repertoire of segments. None of this of course is replacing the Platinum shout outs or the Patreon submitted questions. So, in reality, there's quite a bit going on in this episode! Specific game discussions include deep dives into Inscyption, AC: Valhalla, and Star Ocean: The Divine Force. Patreon topics focus around what games in 2023 we would pick up on day one if we could only choose five options. This turned out to be particularly difficult given just how stacked 2023 is shaping up to be. Thank you all for listening, we hope you're just as excited about the show in 2023 as we are. Happy gaming and take care!

Well hello there trophy hunters. Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! As we normally do for our end of year episodes, our final episode of 2022 and first of 2023 is something a little different. Instead of focusing on what we've been playing, we instead took some time this episode to look at our year in review. All four of us decided to go through our statistics provided by Sony for their 2022 wrap up and share them with the group, along with our thoughts and goals for 2023. In addition to that we go over a few Patreon questions including which games deserved sequels but never got them, and what we thought about the Forespoken demo that came out a few weeks back. Most importantly though, this episode marks the final episode that Eli will be joining us as a full time host. He says it better than I could ever write it but just note this is an episode you won't want to miss. As sad as that particular note is, we also have a moment of joy in that we get to welcome a new full time host to the show in Slugger. Please join me in saying goodbye to Eli, and welcoming Slugger! We hope that you enjoy the episode, and happy New Year!

Well hello there everybody! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this, Episode 74 , we've got a big bag of holiday cheer in store for you! We start of the show by talking about our Christmas wish lists and what games we may be hoping that Santa brings from the North Pole this year before getting into our Platinum shout outs and another round of patented jokes and riddles from Eli. From there we get into Patreon submitted questions which include a look at what the spirit of Christmas means to us these days as we all reside in our 30s, a thorough look at Blasphemous and if we'll ever play it or not, and what games we think are the "coziest" in the business. Finally, we get into some trophy list reviews and for this month we have a good mix for you. Eli goes old school SSX with his examination of "Shredders", Darryl braves the survival horror of "The Calisto Protocol," and Colin continues to embrace RPGs by looking at "Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion." We hope you enjoy the lists, and the show. Thank you for listening and happy gaming!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk. This week, we've got something slightly different in store for you. As you could likely tell from the title, Darryl and Eli were unable to attend the beginning portion of this show. As a result we've asked one of our oldest gaming friends and community members, Slugger VII to join us! As it's his first time joining us, we spend the top of the show talking about recent trends in first party Sony trophy lists, and there specifics. We also touch on the way that Slugger got into trophy hunting, and how he approaches it now. With 298 platinum trophies and counting, he's in a league well above us to say the least. After that we get into a few Patreon submitted questions centering around Thanksgiving, and what 2023 holds in store for Sony before moving on to what we've been playing. We camp out and discuss God of War: Ragnarok for a solid 25 minutes or so and managed to do so without spoilers. It was a very interesting talk indeed, and we hope you enjoy the episode! Happy Gaming!

Well hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! As you could likely tell from the title and the thumbnail for this episode, we're going to be talking about the God of War: Ragnarok trophy list. Now don't worry, if you want to avoid any spoilers from the list I've added some audio in the podcast that will tell you when it's about to start and what time to skip to. In addition to that we're also looking at Sonic Frontiers, and Gungrave G.O.R.E. this week and giving our thoughts on those lists! We also have some pretty fantastic trophy lists to get into some Patreon submitted questions. Looking at next year we all discuss what some of our gaming / trophy hunting goals are for 2023, and we also stop to talk for a while about CoD missing 2023 for this first time in years. What does this mean and why is it happening? Could it have anything to do with GTA6 possibly being on the horizon? Lastly we also touch a bit on the Game Awards, Game of the Year nominees and give our thoughts and impressions on who we think might come out on top. Thank you for listening, and happy gaming!

Well hello there everybody! Welcome back to another episode of your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting show, Trophy Talk! In this, our 71st episode of the show, the gang gets together to answer quite a few Patreon submitted questions and talk about what we've been playing so far for October and November. Our Patreon supporters asked some hard hitters this time so it takes us roughly an hour and a half to get into what we've been playing. Fear not though, as the questions were indeed pretty though provoking. On the IRL side questions include things like, more stories about close calls with the bathroom, situations in retail with difficult customers, and more. On the gaming side we discuss the Xbox / Activision acquisition and what ramifications that may have had on Sony's recent showings and showcases. We also discuss what aspects of God of War 2018 worked for us and which didn't as we all highly await the arrival of Ragnarok next week. Finally, we get into what we've been playing. Eli continues his MMO / RPG grinds with Warframe, Darryl continues to try and escape the labyrinth that is Inscryption and Resident Evil 0, and Colin cleans up two old games on his backlog in RE0 and The Order 1886 before he talking at length about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and Halo: Infinite. It's a jam packed episode, and we hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening!

Hello there everyone! Thanks for tuning in and joining us on the 70th episode of the podcast! As always we really appreciate you listening, your feedback and your support. For this episode we have some pretty dope things in store for you if we do say so ourselves. For starters we pick up with some trophy hunting news from around the globe. Did you know that a recent firmware update had a large quality of life improvement for dealing with "hidden" trophies? We didn't either! How do you think NA compares to the rest of the world in terms of platinum trophies obtained? Turns out, not so great well, and that's a bummer. After that we get into some riddles from Eli , our Patreon submitted questions, and trophy list reviews. This week we're taking a look at Call of Duty: MW2 (2022), LEGO: Bricktales, Gotham Knights, and Inscryption. Once again, thanks for checking out the show, and we hope you enjoy! Happy gaming =)

Hello, hello there everyone! Welcome back to a particularly saucy, and niceeee, episode of Trophy Talk Podcast. That's right, we're 69 episodes in, and at the start of Spooktober, 2022. We camp out at the top of the show to discuss Overwatch 2, and its new implementation of trophies. We think this system is an interesting idea for the games as a service genre, and we're curious to hear what you the audience thinks. After that Eli switches it up on us, that's right it's not dad jokes this time, but something even more terrifying! From there we move into Patreon submitted questions, with topics ranging from the new PS Stars program, our favorite album of all time, mixing two IP and universes together, and a new round of keep, delete, sequel, reboot. As always we close out the show with what we've been playing. Eli has some kind words to say about Metal Hellsinger and Warframe, Darryl and Colin nerd out about Star Wars, and both discuss their love of Toem. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

Hello hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In keeping with out traditions this episode has the crew reviewing three trophy lists from recently released games on the PSN. We feel we've been getting better and better at finding games that are more indie, and lesser known. Hopefully our discussions can spotlight these games within the trophy hunting community and lead to some positive feedback for developers, and positive gaming sessions for the players! This week Darryl reviews "Serial Cleaners," Colin reviews "The DioField Chronicle," and Eli reviews "Blind Fate: Edo No Yami." Let us know what you think of the games! Don't fret though, that's not all the episode has in store. We also go into a couple deep and thought provoking questions about life and Sony First Party Games submitted to us from our Patreon, and laugh / don't laugh at some truly groan worthy dad jokes. Thanks for listening as always, and happy gaming!

Hello everybody! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk, your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting show! The gang has got some solid Patreon submitted questions to go over this week before we delve into what we've been playing. Topics include, the nature of Pokémon, geography, what games we're looking forward to trophy hunting in Q1 of 2023, and the trend to set new games in a neon cyber punk aesthetic. Of course there's more than that. Dad jokes are here, we do a new section that shouts out platinum's earned in our community (thanks to Skrilus), and discuss just how lame this recent West Coast heat wave was. After getting warmed up with that we dive into what we've been playing. Darryl completes his time with Mafia 3, (earning the full 100% including DLC), before beginning Jedi: Fallen Order. Eli is back at it again with not one, not two, not three, but four live service games, (though he has pre-ordered and anxiously awaiting Metal Hellsinger). Finally, Colin talks about his time with Cowabunga Collection, and Resident Evil 4. We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for listening. Don't forget to leave a nice review if you like the show, follow us on your Podcast service of choice, and check out the Patreon if you're so inclined. Thanks!!

Well hello hello there everyone! Welcome back to Episode 66 of the Trophy Talk Podcast. While new releases may be somewhat slow at the moment, the crew has still managed to pull together six different games and trophy lists to talk about. On top of all that we've got quite a few listener submitted Patreon questions to get through. So, buckle up. Compared to our last few episodes this one is a bit longer! With that being said though, the normal absurdness of dad jokes, questioning the origins of "Blue Milk", ranting about difficulty related trophies, and questioning the viability of the Switch in 2022, ensues. Do we have the authority to talk about many of these things? Certainly not, but we do so nonetheless. Enjoy and thank you for listening!

Well hello, hello there folks! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! There's been an uproar recently, regarding the newly announced and written about game, "Press X for Trophies," and amongst us it spurs a discussion concerning how the PSN is curated, how trophies should be balanced, and whether or not we even care about a trophies overall value. In addition to that we discuss which Discord, and or Patreon supporter we would want to change our gaming perspectives with and why before getting into what we've been playing. Eli finally, (FINALLY!) turns on his PS5 and plays some "Spiderman," Darryl finishes up a long grind with "Killzone," and nears completion with "The Quarry," and Colin has seen the light and majesty of "The Last of Us: Part II. " All of that and more behind the play button. Thank you for listening and happy gaming =)

Well hey there you fine folks! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! We hope you've all been enjoying your Summer and have been able to get in some solid gaming time. The gang is back together today to review some trophy lists for a few lesser known games, vent about some truly annoying experiences with our trophy hunting recently, and answer our Patreon submitted questions. So, let's get into it. Questions from Patreon include, what platinum we would steal from our fellow cohosts, thoughts on our next trophy milestones, and if we'd be willing to accept a challenge for next years trophy hunting. From there we move on to review the lists for, "Bright Memory: Infinite," "Escape Academy," and "MADiSON." All of these games have come out within the last month, are smaller titles on the PSN Store, and have great lists and distribution! One final thing to note, I (Colin) chose to surprise switch the intro song for this episode to match a topic I discuss at the top of the show. This song was not created by any of us, and is not owned by any of us on the show. The small clip of it played is from the OST for "Ruined King: A League of Legends Story," and was written by Gareth Coker. It's a wonderful game and OST that I highly recommend. Anyway, enjoy the show! =)

Hello hello everybody! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! The crew has been up to some nefarious deeds, if you couldn't tell from the thumbnail, we all got together the night before recording to play some Magic the Gathering. It was a very fun time, and that discussion dominates the first few bit of the show. After that, we get into dad jokes, Patreon questions and what we've been playing so far in late June and early July. Some of the questions were hard hitters this week, asking things like; what exactly are our life plans? Is the world flat? Who from Last Stand Media would we want to guest on the show? Games for what we've been playing include, It Takes Two, Demon's Souls, The Quarry, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, and Arcadegeddon. Thank you all for tuning in to the show, we hope you enjoy =)

Hello hello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! We have a pretty exciting show in store for you all today so thanks for tuning in. For starters, Summer is a time where Colin always feels drawn to playing RPGs. We begin by discussing if any other genre's of game are at home in a particular time of the year. After that and some greatly themed dad jokes from Eli, the crew gets into our Patreon submitted questions. In this we discuss trophy distribution, My Name is Mayo, potential pet names, remakes and remasters, and what game would be a fair trade for God of War from Microsoft. After that, each of us goes into detail on a trophy list of our choosing! Colin goes retro and looks at the Capcom Fighting Game Collection, Eli somehow finds another free to play multiplayer game with Arcadegeddon, and Darryl continues his examination of Supermassive Games lists with Man of Medan. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Hello you fine people, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! In this, our second episode for the month of June, we take some time to talk about all the fun games we've been playing! Well... at least most of them are pretty fun. Before we get to that though we regale you the audience with stories of champagne and bathroom grand openings, tales of stolen cheese, dad jokes, and questions from our Patrons. Included in these questions are our favorite / most anticipated games coming out of Summer Games Fest, whether or not we would survive living in the last game we played, what the best breakfast food is, and what the longest break we've taken from trophy hunting is. Thank you so very much for your support and for listening. We hope you enjoy the show, happy gaming!

Well hello hello there good people! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! It's been about three weeks real time since the boys have had a chance to sit down together and there's much to catch up on. Colin has been away on his honeymoon for the last 10 days so the boys take some time at the top to catch up on Canadian exchange rates, the intricacies of the French language, and recap on the wedding. After that Darryl prompts us each with a unique scenario in a zombie apocalypse and how we would handle it. Our responses are pretty different indeed. For Patreon questions we delve into topics such as when the right time to introduce your kids to gaming is, and if we think difficulty related trophies should exist? Spoiler, yes they should. Finally, as is tradition in the first episode of every month, the gang each brings a trophy list to discuss and review. Colin begins with Super Perils of Baking, the newest game from Lillymo Games. Eli finds a pretty interesting blend of zombie survival and Minecraft to talk about with Deadcraft, and Darryl throws praise at another Rebellion list in Sniper Elite 5. We think these three games and lists all seem really solid in a time when arguably it could be said not much is coming out. We hope you enjoy the show and as always thank you for listening!

Well hello hello everybody, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! It's a big day, as of the time of this uploading Colin has been married!! This episode was recorded in advance of the big weekend but don't you worry, it's still jam packed with everything you've come to love from the crew. This week's episode includes a range of discussion such as how we handle savings / paychecks, what are some difficult games in our backlog we've been waiting to play, do we use zippers when we pee, and what our names would be if we could pick new ones! After that, and a healthy dose of dad jokes, the gang gets into what we've been playing. Eli has discovered the joy and the majesty of one of the oldest and most storied card games, Magic the Gathering, Darryl jumps into some smaller more chill titles before beginning his tour with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Colin goes back to 1996 to play one of the best retro FPS's available in Quake. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

Hello hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! While the industry by and large is in a bit of a drought right now, (as far as new AAA releases go) the boys have had time to ponder other things. What are the three qualities we look for most in a partner? What indie games are worth our attention? Does Colin have horrible Reddit etiquette? These are the kinds of questions we hope to answer in this show! Plus, we have our slew of dad jokes, Patreon submitted questions, an update on our Discord race, and trophy list reviews. It's a packed episode, so thank you for listening! We hope you enjoy =)

Hello hello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this, our 57th episode of the show we take some time to go over everything we've been playing for the month of April! While some of us have gamed less than others we still are all making good progress on our souls games of choice, whether that's Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, or Sekiro. On top of all that we welcome a few new patrons to the show as well as answer a few hard hitting questions like, have trophies positively or negatively impacted how we play games? What titles have we slept on in the past only to be blown away by them later? What 5 games would we keep from our entire collection if we had to pick? And what other series besides Sonic deserves the remastered collection treatment? On top of all that, Darryl flexes his muscles as a riddle master, and Eli discoveries the wonder of all things "hen".

Hello dudes and dudettes and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this , our first episode of April 2022, the gang breaks down the trophy lists for some of the biggest game releases of the last few weeks including, Tiny Tina's, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. In addition to that there's some good / bad dad jokes about Easter, some great discussion around the new PS+ and trophy card updates, and some answers to our Patreon submitted questions. Does Colin need to quickly go and copyright a cereal idea? Why does Darryl have a special attachment to a particular sock? And why does Eli think there's no way he'd retire from Trophy Hunting? All these questions and more, you can find the answer to, right behind the play button. Thanks for listening and happy gaming!!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! If the thumbnail and track description didn't give it away, the boys have been playing all kinds of difficult, souls games over the past month, and we can't wait to talk to you about it. Before we get to that though, we of course read and answer our Patreon submitted questions, tell a few dad jokes, and talk about how long it takes to fly to New Zealand... is it 13 hours or 16 hours? Does it matter? What do we think of using cheese strats to earn trophies, just how large is our backlog? All of these questions, you can find the answer to just behind the play button. And of course, thank you so much for listening to the show!!

Well well well, we're back here again with yet another episode of Trophy Talk. As you've come to know and expect, the crew has quite a conversation in store for you today. First, we discuss the most recent Batman film, and the new Uncharted Film. Are they worth seeing even though Edward Cullen and Spiderman make appearances? We think so! After that we go into Patreon submitted questions. Just what is the best girl-scout cookie? How does one pronounce Lemonade? What the fuck is a woodchuck? All of those get answered, as well as more serious questions. Finally, the team wraps up by discussing the trophy lists for Gran Tourismo 7, WWE 2K22, and Babylon's Fall. We hope you enjoy, and as always thank you for listening!

Hello everybody! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk. It's been a crazy few weeks in February as more and more anticipated AAA titles get released. We've already seen the release of Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, and Horizon: Forbidden West, and that's all before GT7 and Ghost Wire: Tokyo come in a few weeks time. How does the gang deal with all the FOMO that comes with not having enough time to play all the new releases at launch? We start the conversation there before talking about Sony's potential acquisitions, dad jokes, and what we've been playing for the month of February. Darryl has begun his journey with Deathloop and conquered yet another game in Control. Eli has found an even more interesting and hardcore way to play Minecraft, and Colin reverts back to his childhood self playing Elden Ring, and a few other titles. We sincerely hope you enjoy the episode! As a quick extra note, after the time of recording this episode a small patch was released for Elden Ring on the PS5. It appears that this path may have in a small way improved performance, though the details of the patch were aimed at multiplayer functionality. Anyway, enjoy the show!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! This is a very special episode for the crew as it marks our two year anniversary since we've been doing the show! It's crazy to think just how many trophy lists reviews, game discussions, and dad jokes we've all heard together over the past two years, and yet, here we are. We decided to not do anything different for the episode proper, we are of course creatures of habit and love sticking to our schedules. So, today's episode contains all you've come to know and love from the first episode of the month from us. You've got your dad jokes, your banger questions concerning our morning routine and various food habits, as well as questions about our ideal trophy list, cross over battles we want to see, and the best mini game in games we've played. After that we break down and discuss the PS+ offerings in February and see how their trophy lists shake out. UFC4 gets a pretty unanimous "no" from the team, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragonkeep tempts us with it's art style and the fact that it has a platinum at all, and Planet Coaster: Console Edition reminds us of simpler times with PC gaming. Now, just because the episode itself sticks to our formula doesn't mean we aren't doing anything for our two year anniversary. Next Saturday, February 19th, at 12pm PST, we will be streaming an event via our Discord server for all of our listeners to watch. So, if you're reading this and haven't checked out the Discord yet, or haven't checked out the Patreon yet. We really encourage you to do so. Thanks of course to everyone for listening, and being part of this journey with us. We couldn't do it without you!

Hello everybody and welcome back to Episode 51 of Trophy Talk, your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting show! This week's episode focuses on what the gang has been playing since the month of December and we have to tell you, we've been playing quite a bit. What is it about those early months of the year that make it seem like we'll be able to get through our backlog goals with ease? One things for sure, the momentum is strong right now but truth be told, can it last? On top of what we've been playing the crew also discusses the impact of luck on our daily lives, what we want from the long rumored project Spartacus, if nature or nurture has a great impact on our daily lives, and what longer games we'd love to get lost in if we had more time. As always, we thank you so much for listening to the show, and we hope you enjoy! Also, next episode marks our two year anniversary! Stay tuned to the Discord for more information about what we're doing for that special occasion. Happy hunting!

What's going on everybody and welcome back to Trophy Talk! We can't believe it's already been 100 weeks of doing this show, but it's true. Episode 50 is upon us and soon after that Episode 52, which will mark our two year anniversary! After a long break over the Holidays, which we hope you all enjoyed, the gang is back together to talk trophies, fast food, ghosts, and more. As this is our first episode in January for 2022, this episode focuses on breaking down the free PS+ games for the month. Darryl channels his inner dwarf in his assessment of Deep Rock Galactic. Eli goes back to his dirt racing roots in Dirt 5, and Colin travels all the way to Japan while discussing Persona 5: Strikers. In addition to all that we discuss our ideal day of fast food meals, what chores we want ghosts to do for us, and what side characters in games deserve full spin offs. We hope that you enjoy and thank you as always for listening!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the first episode of Trophy Talk in 2022! We hope that everyone has had a restful and enjoyable holiday season =) In this, our 49th episode of the show, the crew takes some time to sit down and review 2021. Each of us has selected three games that we feel were our top three trophy hunts of the year. We dig into each of these games and give some context as to why we enjoyed them so much, from a trophy hunting perspective of course. As we recorded this episode in advance so as to try and get some time off during the holidays, it does not include Patreon submitted questions. All the same we think you'll enjoy the discussion. Additionally at the top of the show new race rules for 2022 are discussed. We hope you enjoy the show and as always thank you for listening!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! To sign off on the year 2021 the crew has got a banger of an episode 48 for you. Patreon questions as always take up the front half of the show with discussions covering a wide array of topics. What are our fondest memories from our almost two years of doing the show? Who would win in a fight Sephiroth or Darth Vader? What are our top three trophies of the year? These are just some of the things we debate on this cold and blustery December day. After that, we all dive deep into what we've been playing. Eli may have just found himself the newest convert to the cult of Fortnite, in Colin. Darryl tidies up Horizon: Zero Dawn and dives back into Day's Gone, and Colin gives his insights on the newest entry in the Call of Duty franchise. As always, thank you so much for listening, and have a wonderful holiday season! One more thing. There are minor spoilers in this episode for story beats in Horizon: Zero Dawn and it's DLC. Additionally, the same is true for Call of Duty: Vanguard. Thank you!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this, our first episode for December, the crew breaks down the trophy lists for the PS+ offerings this month which include Godfall (though a very strange version of it), Mortal Shell, and Lego: DC Supervillains. Overall the month isn't horrible but version questions and issues abound with the games. Does this signal someone asleep at the wheel at Sony, or a way to incentivize other purchases in the store? We discuss. Additionally, we get into the hard hitting Patreon questions including, what three things we would change about the gaming industry, what the best month of PS+ was this year, and an idea for a prestige / new list system with trophies. All of that plus weird food combinations, and dad jokes await you behind the play button. Enjoy!

The year is 2021. Three, self-proclaimed trophy hunters are in the midst of exploring a vast post-apocalyptical world. This world is filled with dangerous machines, cluttered crafting and menu systems, a great trophy list, and some kick as visuals. That's right, our three heroes are in the midst of experiencing, Horizon Zero Dawn. How did we get to this game some four years late? How have we not experienced one of PlayStation's most talked about exclusive offerings? Well we don't really have a good excuse in all honesty, but the time is here. Only a few months away from Horizon: Forbidden West, the gang finally puts some solid time into Guerilla Games' first RPG outing as a studio. Not everything works in the game, but by and large it's an incredibly polished product with striking visuals, and a deep story. On top of that, the trophy list is incredibly simple, and well thought out. So, come along with us as we discuss. We hope you enjoy!

Hello, hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this, Episode 45, we celebrate a special occasion as we record on Eli's, (aka GnarShreder13's) birthday! With this milestone, the whole recording crew is above 30 years of age. We feel old, and god damn is it interesting. As always we begin with Patreon submitted questions, ranging from, "would you convert your significant other into a gamer?" to "what PSP titles we would like ported over to the PS5?" After that, as is our new tradition for the first episode of the month, we delve into trophy list discussions. Colin throws some praise at the new Call of Duty: Vanguard list, Darryl speculates on the difficulty of the First Class Trouble list, and Eli provides some history and perspective on Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. All of that and more awaits you behind the play button. As always, thank you for listening and enjoy!

Hello hello everybody and welcome back to episode 44 of Trophy Talk! This marks our second episode of Spooktober , a time of year full of frights, candy, scary pumpkins, and creepy monsters. Well, if you choose to engage in those sorts of media at least. This episode is a big one for us, as the second episode of the month the hosts dive deep into what we've been playing for the month of October! And, speaking of hosts, for the first time in a few episodes, the whole gang is back together. That's right, you can expect Colin, Eli, and Darryl's answers to your hard hitting Patreon questions including things like, how we would fare against Thanos, what our favorite season is, if we would buy a new Sony handheld, what features we want to keep from the PS5, and what games we love but will never platinum. On top of all that goodness Darryl gives his long awaited thoughts on achieving the platinum in Wolfenstein II, Eli starts to sound like a real pro with his understanding of Minecraft, and Colin falls deep into survival horror and nostalgia with Alien: Isolation. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

Hello hello and welcome back to Episode 43 of the Trophy Talk Podcast! This episode is special in that it marks the beginning of Spooktober, a month of horror games, movies, and shows for many of us in the community. Sadly Darryl was not able to be here for this episode as well but he will be back and joining us for our big "what we've been playing" special in Episode 44. As far as this episode though, we've got some great trophy list reviews in store for you, including all of the PS+ games offered for October, as well as Alan Wake Remastered! Additionally, Colin finds out that Eli has no idea what the hell sushi is, or how to eat it, and tests his mental strength against more dad jokes. We also get into your Patreon submitted questions including, our hobbies outside of gaming, what platinum trophy we would steal from another member of the community, what our trophy milestones mean to us, and what horror fiction we would consume for the rest of our lives. All of that and more is just behind the play button. Thanks for listening as always and enjoy the show!
