Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 42: Blast From the Past
EHello hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this episode we're back to our roots in a way and have a special two man show for everyone. Due to some conflicting schedules Darryl was not able to join us this week, but he was there with us in spirit. As always this episode contains some "fun" dad jokes, answers to your Patreon questions, and some deep dives in to what we've been playing for the month of September. You can expect answers to: how we structure our trophy hunts, what Spiderman villains we want in Insomniac's Spiderman 2, what franchise we would play if time was no issue, what trophy hunts we thought would be easy and ended up being difficult, and what our least favorite trophy hunt has been. On top of that Colin gets into his recent 3D platformer kick and discusses some of those titles and why he enjoyed his time with them so much. Additionally, Eli continues his journey in hell by checking out the Doom Eternal DLCs, and both of us lose our minds, just a little bit. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 41: Trophy Showcase
EHello hello and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! In this episode of the bi-weekly trophy hunting podcast we go in depth with the things that everyone wants to know... what animal would we turn into if given the choice? If Colin was a bird would he still need glasses? Should you gamble? Do we pick trophies based on the Platinum trophy artwork? What does Trophy Hunting mean to us? As you can see, we get pretty serious indeed. From there we announce the winners of the second leg of our trophy hunting race from the discord, and do a full discussion on what games from the Sony 2021 September Showcase interested us. We close with a look at the Deathloop trophy list. As the game isn't out yet, guides don't exist, and there are still huge questions to be answered about this game, there's lots we still don't know. Even still we think it was a fair discussion and starting point. Thank you for listening as always, please leave a like if you enjoyed the episode and happy gaming! =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 40: Toe Hole
EHello hello everybody and welcome back to Trophy Talk! Episode 40 marks the first episode that focuses primarily on what we've been playing, and Patreon questions! Boy do we have some bangers for you this time. We start the show off by asking, what is the proper time to dispose of a pair of socks or underwear? You'd be surprised just how deep this conversation can get. From there we get serenaded by some dad jokes before moving on to answer questions like, what movies are infinity rewatchable? What are some of the best and worst dreams we've had? And, if we could bring private servers to life for a game that lost them which one would it be? The second half of the show focuses on what we've been playing. Eli gushes about his ever growing love for virtual Legos, aka "Minecraft" and gets excited that he's nearly done with "Doom: Eternal." Darryl shares his first war stories from "Wolfenstein II" and his slow practice runs leading up to Mein Lieben. Colin cleans up an old classic in "Mass Effect" , and polishes off the full "Spyro Reignited Trilogy" which in turn reignites his interest in 3D platformers. See what we did there? Thanks for listening of course and we hope you enjoy!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 39: Peashooter
EHello and welcome back to episode 39 of the Trophy Talk Podcast! This episode marks the beginning to the change of our content formatting. If you recall, last episode we noted that moving forward our first episode every month would be more news focused, and centered around trophy list reviews, while the second episode would be a deep dive into what we've been playing. So, as a result, this episode has three trophy list discussions and breakdowns. The crew spends a good chunk of time breaking down all of the PS+ offerings for August 2021. Are any of the pretty grindy and multiplayer heavy lists worth your time? That depends on what you're looking for! In addition to that we have some good old fashioned dad jokes as always, as well as Patreon submitted questions that center around what hobby we would replace trophy hunting with, what the last platinum we would earn would be if we could only earn one more, and what the best co-op game is when you have company over. Enjoy the show and thank you so much for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 38: POW POW
EHello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of your favorite bi-weekly trophy hunting shenanigans! There's quite a bit to cover in this week's episode so let's get to it. At the top of the show the crew covers some changes to the formatting for episodes moving forward. Don't worry. The schedule and cadence up uploads will not be changing but the content per month will now be divided into a more news and discussion heavy episode , and a more deep dive into what we've been playing in the second episode of each month. After that we get into the listener / Patreon submitted questions. Topics include, what genre's we avoid trophy hunting in, what game we're looking forward to most, and how we all balance our schedules to be able to game and trophy hunt. After that we dive deep into a discussion of Norse mythology and the trophy list for the newly released Tribes of Midgard. Overall, the list is pretty good in terms of distribution, and artwork. However, the market is flooded with these games as service, and season / battle pass heavy experiences. Does the industry really need more of these? Finally, the crew closes up the show with what we've been playing. Eli continues to trudge through hell and the bodies of felled demons in Doom Eternal. Colin comes near the end of his journey in Demon's Souls and discovers the joy of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Darryl comes ever closer to finishing out his experience with Ethan Winters and Resident Evil: Village. We hope you all enjoy the show! Thank you for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 37: Zombie Apocalypse
EHello everyone and welcome back to Episode 37 of the show! We've got quite a bit to cover in this episode so sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and get ready. The gang starts out with a discussion about the titles shown at Sony's most recent State of Play Event, namely Sifu, Deathloop, Lost Judgement, and Death Stranding. Overall we can't help but feel that some of the art directions, and overall game directions for titles these days don't jive with our gaming sensibilities. After that we answer a Patreon submitted question concerning game recommendations for the listeners, and have a broad discussion about the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 trophy list. What can Treyarch and the Call of Duty games do to make their trophy lists, specifically those centered around the zombies game mode, more accessible? We have some ideas. Finally, the show closes with what we've been playing. Darryl has found himself drawn in more and more to Resident Evil: Village. Eli has gone over to the dark side and found a love and appreciation for Minecraft, and Colin finds a hidden gem in Plague Tale: Innocence. We hope you enjoy! Thank you!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 36: Finger on the Pulse
EHello and welcome back everyone to another episode of Trophy Talk Podcast! We've got a bit of a lengthy episode for you today, but there was quite a bit to discuss. For starters, Colin has finally procured his PS5 along with the "Pulse" headset from Sony. Suffice it to say, he's got quite a bit to say about it, and Eli chimes in for a solid discussion regarding the two pieces of hardware. From there we get into Patreon submitted questions including discussions on auto popping trophy lists from PS4 on PS5, what games we think should get the PS5 treatment / boost, and our overall thoughts on the "Dual Sense" controller. After that, the gang discusses the trophy list for, "A Plague Tale: Innocence" which was recently announced as a PS+ offering for July. To cap off the show we talk about what we've been playing. Darryl heaps quite a lot of praise and renown onto "Ghost of Tsushima" (days before the directors cut official announcement). Eli has been slaying demons left and right but mostly just multiple times in a row in "Doom 2016" and "Demon's Souls", and Colin lunges forward in his completion percentage of "Mass Effect". We hope you enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 35: PS5 Fever
EWelcome back everybody to episode 35 of the show! We're recording a bit earlier this week so the gang is a bit tired but none the less we've come together, in a melding of the minds to bring you some important topics and updates. Colin begins by ranting about the pure craziness of trying to procure a PS5 in the current market. Eli gushes about his love of "Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart" while acknowledging its glitches, and Darryl finds his new love aka an incredibly difficult and grindy trophy list. In between it all there are discussions about narrative dissonance in open world games, the meaning of life, the "Star Wars: Squadrons" trophy list, and what options Sony has to compete with Game Pass. We hope you enjoy the show! =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 34: Lombax and Chill
EHello trophy hunters and welcome back to episode 34 of the Trophy Talk Podcast! This episode has got some hits in it, that's for sure. While some of our long time listeners are in for a big surprise, so too are Darryl and Colin. Eli has been up to some stuff and he'll tell you about it later on in the show. Before we get to that though this show is full of all the goodies you've come to expect and love. We begin with a discussion of a return to normalcy, and Darryl's experience going to the movie theater again. After that the crew digs into the questions submitted via Patreon and has some great discussions concerning RNG trophies, games that don't have plats that we've 100%'d , and what Platinum trophy we would want removed from our list. After that we break down the trophy list for the upcoming PS5 exclusive, "Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart." Turns out that the trophy list looks pretty damn good and continues many of Sony's first party studios trends with regards to designing trophy lists. Lastly the show closes with what we've been playing, and the surprise alluded to before. We hope you enjoy the show, and are pretty sure you will. Thanks for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 33: Infallible
EHello trophy hunters and welcome back to episode 33! The crew is back recording a bit earlier in the morning than usual, and on little sleep so you may hear some small Freudian slips in this episode. Where is more coffee when you need it? Regardless this week saw some big news with regards to trophies, specifically in the realm of "Fall Guys". What was once an unobtainable incredibly rare trophy in "Infallible" became obtainable for quite a few folks this week. For a small window the trophy was boostable in private lobbies before being patched out. As we all utilized this method to get the trophy, we discuss the ethics of this and if generally speaking, we feel guilty about it. After that we discuss the trophy list for "Stranded Deep", another of the free PS + offerings for PS4 in the month of May. As always the team closes with what they've been playing. Eli has already finished his first play through of "Outriders" but is yearning for more! Darryl reaches a huge milestone and finally earns the platinum in "Friday the 13th", and Colin continues to inch towards the 100% in "Resident Evil: Village" while getting distracted by a new multiplayer game, "Knockout City." We hope you enjoy!!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 32: Committed to the Cause
EHello everyone and welcome back to the Trophy Talk Podcast! This week's show is quite the banger as we've all been playing some great games and been up to some nefarious deeds. The show begins with a pretty lengthy discussion answering questions submitted on Patreon as well as announcing the winner of the first leg of the trophy hunting race on the Discord! The crew then moves on to some news stories from recent weeks, including our take on the 100 Platinum stream. Also, Colin stands on his soapbox announcing confusion by the laziness in the "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" port's trophy list. From there we touch on what we've been playing. Eli continues to expose all of us to a plethora of games, some greater than others, and some with some glitched achievements. Darryl moves ever onward and upward in his quest for the "Friday the 13th" platinum, and Colin gives a lengthy initial impression of "Resident Evil: Village". Thanks so much for listening to the show, we hope you enjoy! =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 31: Patch Notes 2.1
EHello and welcome back to episode 31 of the Trophy Talk Podcast! In the beginning of the year we launched our Patreon page and titled the episode "2.0 Update Required." This week, as we get into the second trimester of the year, we felt it was time to share some updates with our community about our Patreon page, our trophy hunting race, and our community night. So, as a result, we're calling this episode "Patch Notes 2.1". We hope you all enjoy learning a bit more about the future content of the show and what you can expect for the next four months. After the housekeeping, we dive into the hard hitting question of whether or not it's okay to wear your shoes in the house when you get home from work, as well as the classic Patreon submitted questions we've all come to love. Would Eli truly be able to beat the Devil at Guitar Hero? He thinks so. After that, we have some brief news discussions before disecting the "Returnal" trophy list. Long story short, the game is likely going to be much harder than the trophy list would suggest. We close the show out as always with what we've been playing. Eli learns to let go of some of the games as service games he's been drawn to lately, Darryl provides more updates on "The Mean Greens" and his journey in Lordran, and Colin takes us back to the early 2000's with "Star Wars: Republic Commando". Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 30: Colin Needs Jeans
EWhat's going on gamers! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk. Quite a lot has been happening recently in the world of Sony. Announcements seem to be coming out every week concerning Sony studios, services, or titles. Typically speaking, the news hasn't been positive but it's certainly worth discussing at the top of the show. So, we do just that. Why would "Naughty dog" be remaking "The Last of Us", and what does that mean about the ecosystem? For some lighter discussion the team addresses quotidian topics like how often should a person wash their clothes, and what is a proper amount of jeans to own? For list reviews, this episode centers around "Days Gone" and "Outriders" both of which seem like solid trophy hunting options. Lastly, we get into what we've been playing. Eli continues to add larger titles to his games as service catalog by beginning "World of Warcraft", "League of Legends", and "Outriders". Can one man do all that? We don't think so. Darryl has come to almost the end of his journey in Lordran and "Dark Souls". Colin tries to cosplay as a drill sergeant in "Mean Greens" and "Star Wars: Republic Commando" but ultimately fails? All that and more behind the play button. Enjoy!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 29: Bad Habits
EHello and welcome back to episode 29 of Trophy Talk! The strange topics and Patreon questions this week are extra spicy as the crew debates things like: the proper way to eat ice cream, if mixing a bite of salad and pasta is okay, and which video game character we would want to be in real life. For our list discussion this week we touch on a smaller co-op game, It Takes Two. Which, as you'll find out the crew thinks has a pretty good list! We also discuss which games we would want to give the remaster treatment too, bringing their glory of days past in to the current era. As always the show ends with what we've been playing. Colin and Eli both have caught the PC gaming bug and have spent a great deal of time with League of Legends and Diablo 3 respectively. Darryl on the other hand has become master of his own fate and is already well on his way to completing NG+ in Dark Souls. So stay awhile and listen! We hope you enjoy the show. Happy hunting!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 28: Eloping with Schwarzenegger
EHello and welcome back to the Trophy Talk Podcast! Episode 28 shaped up to be quite the banger indeed! In a nice change of pace we start the show with our Patreon submitted questions, which interestingly this time, were not trophy related! Therefore, we spend the first 30 minutes or so of the show discussing what the best toppings for pizza are, and who are celebrity man crushes are. After that we jump in to disect and review the trophy lists for the PS+ offerings in March (Maquette, FF7 Remake, Farpoint VR, and Remnant from the Ashes). It seems that Sony is continuing its trend of releasing high quality games each month with this service and this month was a great one to review the trophy lists in. To round out the show we all catch up on what we've been playing. Colin starts a co-op journey in Remnant and finishes off his hunt in Resident Evil 7. Darryl continues to fight his way through sanity in Lordran / Dark Souls 1 Remastered, and Eli has found his new obsession in the PC version of Diablo 3. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 27: Burnt Meat and Toasted Buns
EHello and welcome back to the Trophy Talk Podcast! Episode 27 is a bit of a lengthy one but there was quite a bit to discuss. We begin the episode with some amendments for Episode 26 centered around the fact that Colin needs to be fact checked from time to time. From there the crew moves on to discuss the most recent Sony State of Play, the PS+ games offerings for March, and the trophy list for the newly released Persona 5 Strikers! In addition to a news heavy couple weeks, the crew has been getting busy with their progress. Darryl continues to learn and hone his skills in the realm of Lordran coming face to face with some of the most infamous bosses in Dark Souls. Eli figures out a way to break the game in his quest for 500 bounties in Diablo 3, and Colin somehow doesn't shit himself in working his way through Resident Evil 7s scares. The episode closes out with questions from our Patrons. We sincerely hope you enjoy the episode, thank you for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast- Episode 26: It Resembles a Podcast
EHello everybody and welcome back for Episode 26 of Trophy Talk! This episode is special one for us. Episode 26 marks the one years anniversary of the show! What an incredible milestone for all of us and we're so happy and grateful for those of you who have been part of our journey. Being a one year anniversary episode we take a little time at the top to reflect and to discuss the important things. How have our views on trophy hunting and gaming changed over the past year of doing the show? What constitutes a blouse? You know, the fun stuff. After that we take a look and compare our PlayStation Wrap Up statistics and discuss trophy lists for Little Nightmares II, and Destruction Allstars. We close out the show as always with questions from our Patreon supporters and updates on what we've been playing. Thank you so much for listening, we'll see you in Episode 27 =)

EHello Trophy Hunters and welcome to Episode 25 of Trophy Talk! We've reached the quarter century mark with this episode! What a journey indeed. We've got a great show in store for you this week. The crew begins with a discussion of DNA altering beverages, (trust me it's as weird as it sounds). Moving on from the goofiness we take a look at the recently released Hitman 3 and its Trophy list before getting in to some quick news stories on the Resident Evil Showcase, the current PSN Stores, and the PS Plus games for February. Rounding out the show we give our updates on the games we've been playing, including our first look into how Darryl is doing with Dark Souls!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 24: Poppin' Pineapples
EHello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In episode 24 we're rolling out the red carpet for our first Platinum Supporter guest appearance. Pat is a Trophy Hunter and all around really solid guy who streams his Trophy Hunts on Twitch three times a week! In this episode we got a chance to sit down with Pat and ask him what got him into gaming, streaming, and the quest for the Platinum Trophy. After that we dive into a discussion of the latest Assassin's Creed Trophy List, Valhalla before going into what games we've been playing. Eli is cementing his transition to the master race of PC as he chugs away on quite a few titles. Darryl continues his quest of finishing the Dark Siders franchise, and Colin says a welcome farewell to Rogue Company. Thanks so much for listening and we hope you enjoy the show!

EWell well, we've done it. We've arrived at 2021 and are coming up on almost a full year of Trophy Talk Podcast. First of all , to all the returning listeners thank you so much for your continued support and interest in the show. We're so pleased that people enjoy hearing us ramble about Trophy Hunting and the games we love and can't believe we get to continue to do this in 2021. This episode announces quite a few big changes for us. Namely, the launch of our Patreon, the addition of a Trophy Hunting Race to our Discord, and changes to where you can find Trophy Talk Podcast Merch. 2021 is starting off with a bang that's for sure. Of course, in addition to all that we have the same wholesome goodness you've come to know and love. Darryl, despite having internet for over two weeks has continued to make some big strides in his Trophy hunting. Eli and Colin do the same though with some pretty big variances in the types of games we've been playing (which is more interesting quite frankly). We also discuss our gaming resolutions for 2021 and how monks used to make eggnog. If that's not wild enough for you how about a little insight into Reindeer eating psychedelic mushrooms? Thanks for listening again, and we hope you enjoy!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 22: Speed Running Through the Holidays
EHello and happy holidays everybody! It's been quite the year, I think we can all agree that 2021 being right around the corner is a good thing. However, just because this year has been difficult doesn't mean we didn't have some good Trophy hunts along the way. For us at Trophy Talk Podcast this year marked the beginning of our show, the founding of our community, and a great year for Trophy Hunting. From all of us to all of you, thank you so so much! Now for Episode 22. Since it is the Holiday season we figured we'd get family involved, Eli's brother is in town and on this episode he teaches and informs us a bit more about another niche aspect of gaming, Speed Running. Ben is a 007 Speedrunner whose been around in the scene for quite some time. Hopefully you all enjoy learning a bit more about the practice of speed running and all it entails!

Sit back and crack open that eggnog people, it's time to get festive! Enjoy!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 21: A Carnivore's Dilemma
EHello and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this, our 21st episode of the show, the three-man crew is back together. We're coming at you with those hard hitting questions about ketchup and eggs that you've all come to know and love. More importantly though, we discuss our irrational fear of eating chicken and fish that still has bones in it. On the news front, the gaming awards are coming up on December 10th and we give some preliminary thoughts on a few of the larger categories including Game of the Year. Additionally, as PS5 consoles continue to be hard to find the crew airs some grievances with scalpers and discusses ways that we can fight back against the rising trend. As always we close the show with what we've been playing and our trophy hunting progress. Colin chooses to keep his sanity and leave Crash 4 behind after reaching a percentage completion he feels comfortable with. Both Colin and Eli have gone super sonic in achieving their platinum trophies in Rocket League, and Darryl beats us all to the punch with owning noobs in Rogue Company. All of that and more is in store so sit down, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show. Thanks for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 20: Pass Me the Ketchup
EHello and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this, our 20th episode we are back to just a two man show as Darryl had some other matters to attend to. Have no fear though, this episode is still chalk full of the things you love. Namely, is it okay to use Ketchup on eggs? How about in Mac and Cheese? If that's not exciting enough for you we of course can't go without discussing the Trophy Lists for some of the PS5's launch line up games including Spider Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, and Astro's Play Room. After that we discuss the games we've been playing and go in to a pretty in depth discussion with ranked gameplay in games vs. casual games. Once again, thank you so much for listening, check out our Discord channel to get more involved in our community, check out our Merch, and Happy Gaming =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 19: Ranking First and Second Party Games
EHello and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this, our 19th episode we have a special topic in store for you all. Coming up now on the end of the PS4s life cycle we at Trophy Talk thought it would be a fun idea to look at the major first and second party Sony releases across the PS4, and rate the titles based on their trophy lists. The end results is a ranking that you might not agree with. Some things might sound right, and others sound completely out of whack, that's for you to decide. Either way though we hope that this episode generates a lot of discussion and opinion no matter what you feel! We also touch briefly on the PS App update, the new trophy designs on the PS5 and PS App, and of course talk about what we've been playing. Enjoy!!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 18: If You Can Punch a Bee You Can Punt a Doll
EHello everybody and welcome back to Trophy Talk! It's that time of year, where pumpkins reign supreme, witches fly through out the sky, and horror movies invade our homes. Indeed, Spooktober is beautiful and in keeping with Episode 17 this episodes is all about horror media and the spooky games we've been playing. We start out the show by discussing some of the crew's favorite horror movies to watch this time of year. Some of us like the classics, others are scared of puppets . Can you guess who is who? After that we give our thoughts on the new PS5 UI videos that have been making the rounds and revisit our thoughts on the changes to the Trophy Eco System after it's been live a few weeks. As always we round out with what spooky games we've been playing for this month and announce the winner of Season 1 of the Trophy Hunting Quiz. Thanks so much for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 17: Spooktober
EHello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In our 17th episode, (and the first of our two October / Spooktober episodes), there's quit a bit of heresy and malarkey to discuss. Fist, Sony dropped a bomb on us earlier in the week by completely overhauling the Trophy System and inflating our levels to infinity, and beyond. Second, Sony dropped another bomb by doing an engineering breakdown of it's PS5 console. What was our take away? The machine is massive and looks like a giant router, and other things that aren't so PG. In other more pressing discussion the crew looks into salads. Specifically, who enjoys them, who doesn't, and what's the preferred part of the lettuce to munch on. We round off our discussions with out trophy hunting progress. Darryl continues to inch closer to his completion of Mad Max, Eli shares a special moment with his stream and community in CoD Ghosts before beginning his journey near a black hole in Hellpoint, and Colin delves even deeper into retro spooky games with the Classic Castlevania Collection. The show ends with the final episode of this season's trophy hunting quiz! We hope you enjoy and thanks so much for listening! Happy Spooktober everybody!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 16: The Big Donut
EHello and welcome back to episode 16 of Trophy Talk! In this week's episode there's a lot of big news to cover. In addition to the Bethesda / Zenimax acquisition by Microsoft / Xbox, Darryl finds himself the owner of a new home, and Eli rekindles his love of pig skins (?) by watching his son learn to play soccer. Additionally , we discuss which genre of games lends itself best to trophy hunting, and which we think is the least suited genre for it. Spoiler alert, we all have pretty different answers. Getting into what we've been playing, Darryl hits his first major glitch in recent memory while trying to platinum Mad Max before the servers fade into nothing, and Eli works towards conquering yet another shooter campaign on Veteran in CoD: Ghosts. Colin finally finishes off his dream of becoming a master samurai in Samurai Jack, and also decides to help a weird space monster man save the universe in Trover Saves the Universe. The show ends as always with our trophy hunting quiz. Can Eli do it a second time and make a quiz that awards zero points to Darryl and Eli? You'll have to listen to find out! Happy Gaming! =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 15: Sorry Sensei
EHello and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this, our 15th episode (my time does fly) the crew gives our full opinions and thoughts on the reveal of the Xbox Series S. Aside from Microsoft's horrible naming conventions, what does the release date and price say about what we can expect regarding PS5? We also discuss the Multiplayer reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and why Treyarch CoD titles always have such difficult trophy lists! Moving on from news, we ask ourselves which games in our backlog we sadly are never going to achieve the Platinum in, (looking at you Elder Scrolls: Online), before moving on to what we've been playing. Colin and Eli continue to grind out levels and wins in Fall Guys with the hopes that they can be done soon and delete it from their minds and consoles forever. Darryl worries about his skills in Friday the 13th atrophying from playing other titles, and Colin gives up more praise for Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time as his trophy hunt nears its completion. As always we finish the show off with our Trophy Quiz. We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for your support and for listening!

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 14: Don't Boost With Strangers
EHello everyone and welcome back to Trophy Talk! In episode 14 we have a lot to tell you with regards to our growing community (looking at you Discord) and with regards to our personal lives. What is the right age to start wearing glasses? Why do people have to make real estate decisions faster than any other decision in life? Are wildfire tornadoes the actual spawn of hell? Well we have answers to all if not most of those questions! After that we get into some of the recent gaming news including a lengthy discussion about Call of Duty and it's future with Black Ops: Cold War. As always we update you all on what we've been playing. Eli has been blowing up the feed with his rampage through Call of Duty: Ghosts, and with finishing up Anger Force: Reloaded. Darryl continues to cosplay as one of the most iconic serial killers in existence in his quest for the Friday the 13th platinum, and Colin jumps back in time, both in the style of game and the characters involved in his Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time playthrough. The show ends with our Trophy Hunting quiz as we edge closer to the end of the first season! Thank you all for listening and we hope you enjoy the episode =) https://discord.gg/GefdphM

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 13: Takes Two to Tango
EHello and welcome back to Trophy Talk! First let me (Colin) apologize for my audio for this episode. Our recording software decided to switch and record the audio from my webcam and not from my microphone at the last minute and thus the quality isn't up to my standard. I do greatly apologize but it will have to suffice for this episode. That aside, we at Trophy Talk really hope you enjoy the episode! We have some great discussions about the way we use trophy guides and videos and which among them are our favorites. After that we fall face first into a discussion around Fall Guys, and what other titles we've been playing. Darryl is having more success finding games in Friday the 13th, Eli finds a pallet cleanser game harder than he bargained for, and Colin becomes the ultimate demon slayer after achieving the Plat in Doom (2016). We end the show with a few shutouts and as always the Trophy Hunting Quiz! Thanks so much for listening and as always happy gaming =)

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 12: There's the Beef
EHello! Welcome back to Trophy Talk! In this episode we discuss the increasing allure of Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Ecosystem as we move closer and closer to next gen. In particular we discuss some of the differences in the two ecosystems with regards to trophy / achievement notifications and how Steam is severely lacking in this regard. Next we dive in to the new Destroy All Humans (Remake) trophy list and give an in depth comparison to the original PS2 port's trophy list that already existed on PS4. As always we then delve in to what we've been playing. Daryl finds himself grinding out a list on a game that is now near impossible to find matches in, aka Friday the 13th. Eli finally removes his training wheels for FPS titles by beating Battlefield 1 on Hard, and Colin revisits one of the most frenetic and fast paced shooters on the market, Doom(2016).

Coffee Kids Episode 1: Pokemon
EHello all and welcome to the first episode of Coffee Kids. My name is Colin Kolhoven and my hope with this podcast series is to be able to provide a little insight, nostalgia, and entertainment on a wide array of (mostly nerdy ) topics. I think the people in my life, and the friends I've made up to this point are incredibly interesting and passionate people. It's my hope that after listening to the show that you'll agree. Who knows, you may even learn a thing or two, or think about a topic in a new way. Thanks for listening =) Also, apologies for the weird bumps during the recording. Still working out some of the editing kinks!
