Warmest of Welcomes Everybody. This month on DLC Pack, Max is joined by fellow discord member ZacLre to talk about the Final Fantasy series as a whole.

Hello there dear listeners! Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk, and our first episode in October, aka Spooky Season! This is a favorite time of year for many of us in the community as it marks a time when we get to engage with horror media to a greater degree than normal. The nights are getting longer and the weather colder (except in California apparently), meaning it's time to cozy u...

On June 18th 2024, British game developer The Chinese Room released a horror game that hoped to combine elements of John Carpenter's "The Thing" with motifs found in movies like "Midsommar", and The Lighthouse. That's a pretty bold and ambitious plan to say the least! That game was Still Wakes the Deep. Described as a first person psychological horror game, Still Wakes the Deep sees the player tak...

In the year 2024 of our lord and savior Cthulhu, a schism in the church appeared. What was first a small group of believers with outlandish beliefs in crustaceans, quickly became one of the largest sects within our Discord. Now, in Episode 119, it is time to address this heresy and bring our brothers and sisters back in to the fold. Discord jokes aside, hello everyone! Welcome back to another epis...

Welcome back lovers of all things spooky and scary, to another episode of Surviving the Horror! Released in March 2012 and developed by Slant 6 in just one year's time, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a much maligned and critiqued entry in the long standing survival horror franchise. Criticized for it's lack of polish, and disregard for the pillars of what makes up a classic Resident Evil...

What happens when a small team with a passion for PS1 survival horror games, takes a chance and creates their own love letter to the genre? Crow Country, that's what. Crow Country, from SFB Games, is one of the most loving and caringly crafted homages to PS1 survival horror that Colin and Josh have ever played. Granted they may not have played many, but the point still stands. This game is marvelo...

Well well well, look at what we have here. After the boys were a bit hard on Xbox for some of their most recent business moves and studio closures, Xbox came back and delivered what has to be one of the best showcases in recent history. With the showcase came a litany of great game announcements and trailers, many of which are coming to PS5. Naturally we start off the show by discussing some of th...

The game has some great atmosphere, sound design, and overall atmosphere while mixing in some visceral...

Hello there everyone, Welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this week's episode, we actually start off with something a little different. In general we try to stay away from gaming news conversations on the show. It's not because we don't have things to say on the big topics of the day but it's more in an effort to let the podcasts that handle these things do so. We're not a news show...

Hey there gamers. It's that time again, time that we welcome back Patthetrophyhunter for his 3rd visit to the Trophy Talk Podcast.

Hey there listeners! Welcome to the inaugural episode of Surviving the Horror (StH). This is a show that Josh and I (Colin) have been toying around with for a while in the background and we're excited to finally be able to launch it.

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning in to another episode of Trophy Talk! The crew has assembled in Episode 108 to talk all about what we've been playing and trophy hunting in for the past month or so. Before we get there though the top of the show opens with an interesting discussion on what constitutes a spoiler. Does the definition change depending on the cultural pervasiveness of the IP? Does...

Hey there trophy hunters! Welcome back to another episode of TTP! Every once in a while one of those games comes along that seems to be in the zeitgeist in our community. One of those games where many people appear to be playing it, and going back to it for trophies at the same time. We've had this before with things like Battlefield 1, Rogue Company, and most notably Fall Guys. This time though,...

The damns have broken! In what the Trophy Talk crew hopes is the beginning of a new era, Xbox has decided in recent weeks to bring over four select titles to the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch ecosystems. The first of these titles is Pentiment, a small passion project from Obsidian that focuses on a style and type of game that we don't see regularly these days. Naturally much of the discussion th...
