• Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 132: By Azura, by Azura by Azura!

  Well hello there everybody, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk. This month we're back to basics with just Colin and Josh so grab a beer , settle in and join them in some long and winding discussions surrounding a cadre of gaming topics. As we do these shows on a monthly cadence now a lot can happen between episodes, and this was definitely the case over the last four week period. Not only did we have the major reveal of Bungie's new extraction shooter Marathon, but we were also greeted with a shadow drop of a beloved 360 era RPG Oblivion, a full state of play on Borderlands 4, and a new trailer and firmed in release date for Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei. It truly is a wonderful year to be a gamer, (price increases on hardware and software withstanding). So, as this is a lot of news, and a lot of potential trophy lists and Platinums to earn we naturally spend some time talking about all of these reveals. Perhaps most relevant to all of us though, is that Oblivion now has a Platinum trophy, and one that seemingly doesn't look to difficult to obtain. Oblivion Remaster boasts the kind of list that allows you to play the game how you want to, as any class, race or skill build and still be able to earn the Platinum. While some people may find this type of list to easy, Colin and Josh feel like it's right at home in the open world RPG genre. After our news related topics and discussions we of course jump in to what we've been playing. Josh waxes poetic about a few games on the Xbox side (with parody in PSN trophy lists) as well as continuing to defend his Brick Master title with The Lego Movie 2 Videogame. Colin continues his hiking journey across the post-apocalyptic United States in Death Stranding (and still absolutely loves it even after 60 hours), and dabbles back with an old classic in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Lastly of course we have our Discord / Patreon write ins as well as our Platinum shout outs. We cover a good deal of topics in this episode with some really great conversation, even if we do go on tangents from time to time. Regardless, we hope that you all enjoy the episode. It was a blast to record as always. Thank you for listening, and take care.

• Surviving the Horror - Episode 12: Dead Space 2

  Hello hello there everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Surviving the Horror. This month, Josh and Colin are joined by resident lore expert for all things Dead Space, Kevin from the PlayStation Plus Game Club! Kevin is a massive fan of the Dead Space series in general, and after recording the episode last July on Dead Space Remake, it didn't feel right to venture further into the series without his input. The result is that the three of us had an over three hour discussion, breaking down all the important details, subtle audio notes, and larger mechanical trends that are present in Dead Space 2. Dead Space 2 released in January 2011 as the highly anticipated follow up to Visceral's Dead Space. The game sees the continuation of Isaac Clarke's journey following the catastrophic tragedy aboard the Ishimura. From the very beginning of Dead Space 2, Isaac, as well as the player, are thrust into chaos and the unknown as another Necromorph outbreak has seemingly begun aboard The Sprawl, a massive station orbiting the once moon of Saturn, Titan. Due to the size and scope of The Sprawl compared with the Ishimura, everything in Dead Space 2 is cranked up to eleven. The mystery, the action, the set pieces, and indeed the lore are all expanded upon greatly. Just why is Isaac in a straight jacket upon waking up? What are the four steps to run "the machine" that your companion Stross keeps talking about? Can you truly trust anyone associated with Earth Gov. or The Church of Unitology? Only through quick wits, persistence, and a butt load of ammo will you get the answers. We truly hope that you enjoy this episode, and a special thank you to Kevin for being a part of the show! Next month on Surviving the Horror will be joined by none other than the GreenGorillaGamer to discuss the first entry in the FNAF series. It's going to be a wild ride. Until then take care everyone!

• Mooglecast, Episode 10 | Frogs Vs Angels | Our Favorite Boss Battles

  Warmest of welcomes everybody This month on the Mooglecast, Max and Zac are joined by Gary (TheSlyGCooper) for a half (maybe 1/4) failed attempt at a Mooglecast X PlatinumAchievements episode. For the preshow we discussed the streak of sickness over at the plattycheevs and spoke some more about game of the megacast showcase, Zacs Untitled Goose Game sequel. Of course we get into our usual run of the show with Platinum shoutouts and a Resident Evil focused entry of The Record. Although the recommendation was RE4 Remake, the crew had a variety of opinions on the best games to start with in the series. The meat & potatoes for the episode was centred on some of our favourite boss battles across all video games. Complete with a huge amount of audience write ins we had a chance to dive into the the fundimentals of a memorable boss fight and how its not just good combat design or appearance bit rather a collective of equal factors. From One Winged Angels to Dark Alien Kings, From Underworld warriors to OP Wrestlers. We each list 5 of our best and most memorable foes. Relive the nostalgia and frustration. We'll see you in May but until then. Be excellent to eachother. Max P.S We had multiple technical difficulties whilst recording this episode, luckily we caught them all very quickly but we apologise if the talkers full thoughts weren't spoken. Thank you for your understanding.

• PS Plus Game Club - Episode 28: Celeste

  This time we are highlighting one of the best games of 2018, Celeste. It won awards from multiple outlets that year and has been a part of the gaming zeitgeist for long after that. Celeste has been hailed as one of the best 2D platformers to come out in decades and that’s all because of its classic-looking visual style, beautiful soundtrack, and very poignant story about coping with anxiety and depression. We hope you enjoy our discussion covering everything about Celeste and we tip our hats to the small team of Maddy Makes Games for giving us a wonderful piece of art to love.
