    Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 146: A Ballet of Excellence

    Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this month's installment Colin and Josh dig deep into the recent news stories that have been plaguing not only PlayStation, but the gaming industry at large. Indeed, with bad news story, after bad news story, it's hard to feel optimistic about the hobby that we all know and love so much. While there are many available tendrils to pull on here, the boys settle in around the PS3 storefront closure, and the 2028 impending death of physical games on PlayStation. There are so many areas to dig into here, so many reasons to be upset (or not to be upset), that the conversation naturally is a bit all over the place. Regardless, after the dust settles do either of the aforementioned stories actually prompt us to reconsider if Sony and the PlayStation is our gaming home? Of course as per the typical run of the show we also take time to highlight some impressive and noteworthy Platinum's earned by our community, touch on our favorite trophies we've personally earned in the last month, and touch on what we've been playing. Much like Zac (the recordkeeper) before him, Saros has its hooks in Josh and we spend a good deal of time discussing the mechanics of the game and how it reminds us of more recent titles like Doom: The Dark Ages. Additionally, Josh takes some time away from the bullet hell genre to go and kick some ass in Marvel: Cosmic Invasion. It turns out the title may not have received as much praise as it should have! Colin on the other hand, in anticipation of Doom's DLC on July 7th, and Halo: Campaign evolved at month's end, has gone for a more chill trophy hunting experience in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. While the game may not be difficult, it boasts 13 main protagonists and characters, a time traveling Sci-Fi story, and some truly beautiful imagery. Has Colin gone full weeb? Well maybe not full, but after how much he disliked the Survival-Crafting genre after giving Grounded a try, he just had to try something different. Thank you all for listening, and be excellent to each other.

    Surviving the Horror - Episode 26: Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise

    Join Colin and Josh as they hop on their skateboards and take an excursion to Le Carre, Louisiana. In this nestled and rural town, they join Agent Francis York Morgan (call him York, everyone calls him that) to investigate a string of disappearances and murders. We meet a merry cast upon the way and the nefarious Clarkson family who rules the town top to bottom. As usual, we give some background information and then do a deep dive into the game play, art design, story and overall thoughts on the game. Does this game live up to the quirkiness of the first Deadly Prem? Sometimes we think so, but other times it's not even close. Listen in to find out why and please enjoy the show!

In Cactuar vs. Tonberry, new challenges are issued to our hosts, with Max finding a fun way of making an appearance. What we have been playing start with Kevin as he goes through an absolute plethora of games, including In Sound Mind and Subnautica Below Zero. He and Colin share their thoughts on the new Mixtape before Colin has some other heavy hitters to talk through. Zac takes the segment home with a surprising amount of work, including 3 platinums. The main topic consists of a deep dive into the world of speedrunning. They cover what speedrunning means to them, their history with it and the many shows that bring the hobby to the masses. What games handle speedrunning well? Is there a game that the guys think they could speedrun? And have they had any heartbreaking close calls? Listen it to find out. As they sign off the show, Zac reveals an exciting new addition to the Trophy Talk Network with Trophy Talk Triumphs, a leaderboard hub for Time Trials and Speedruns. Next month, Max and Zac will be reunited and surely will have a lot to talk about. Until then, be excellent to each other!

    PS Plus Game Club - Episode 42: Skate Story

    Nick Hyett-Schnell and Brady (FatePrime) join Kevin to talk about Skate Story, a single developer game from Sam Eng that was released in December of last year. This episode is definitely not a spoilercast, but they do try to make sense of the story for a few minutes. They instead focus on the tone the game sets with its kaleidoscopic art style and laid back music by the band Blood Cultures. They cover their favorite songs, tricks, and decks to ride on. They also note how well the game mimics the feeling of owning a board and making it your own. Skate Story captured the essence of skate culture and this episode is all about how the game got it so right.

    Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 145: Reunited At Last

    Hello one and all, and welcome back to another installment of Trophy Talk! In this June episode, Josh and Colin are reunited as cohosts and get to catch up on life, work, gaming, and of course trophy hunting. With life being busy recently, Josh hasn't had as much time to trophy hunt as he'd like but still finds time to earn some trophies in his favorite genre. Can you guess which genre it is? Simulator games of course! Colin on the other hand has sinned greatly this month, purchasing two new games and earning a Platinum for a title that may end up being in the game of the year discussion for 2026. Games covered include House Flipper 2, Powerwash 2, 007 First Light, Mixtape, and Helldivers 2. On top of all of that we of course cover our Patron write ins, Platinum shout outs, and other large topics of the month such as Sony's State of Play for June. Indeed we are eating good as gamers right now. So many games, so little time. It's a tale as old as time isn't it? Please enjoy this episode, and thank you for listening!

    On this extra episode of Trophy Talk Kevin, Colin, Max, and guest Jordan Vickers gather to speculate about what’s coming for Sony’s big State of Play presentation in early June. You’ll hear Jordan almost kill Colin, Kevin steals one of Max’s predictions, and Max fires back with a reboot of a game that we haven’t heard of, but looks like it deserves a rebirth. They also speculate about the obvious expected sequels and why we shouldn’t see a specific one during the show. Just like the State of Play, everyone should find something to enjoy here, so we hope you love it. Be excellent to each other.

    Surviving the Horror - Episode 25: Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

    Hello one and all, and welcome back to another spooky episode of Surviving the Horror! In this episode, Colin and Josh take a departure from the more serious fare they've been playing lately, to visit the realm of Nintendo. In 2001 Luigi's Mansion was released for the Nintendo GameCube and became an instant classic. Audiences around the world were delighted at the ways in which Nintendo could take a "side" character and create a whole new IP with him, in a genre that was largely unexplored by first party at that time. In 2013 a follow up was announced and in 2014 Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon graced us all on the 3DS console. Today, Josh and Colin are playing and discussing the HD port of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, for the Switch. Released in 2024, Dark Moon HD ditches much of the open world style exploration of the first game, in favor of a shorter mission based structure in several smaller hubs. Is this a successful change? Well that's for you and us to determine! In general though, Luigi's Mansion is a fun, goofy, heartfelt game that uses it's ghosts and creepy aesthetic to do something different with a character we all know and love. We hope that you enjoy the episode, and thank you for listening!
