Chievoside Chats

Fufu and Elroy debut in cheivoside chats where two fellers just catch up with one another and reflect on the recent podcast milestone of 250 episodes by each discussing two fifty point chievos.  Revelations abound such as Fufu not remembering Elroy's issues with crabs and both fondly missing the good ol' days of the community's collective misery of a tackling a very unrealistic chievo list of a game everyone played.

This Week's Discussion - It's time for the ques...er task of the week! 

Everyone! We'd like for you to recommend to all of us one of the hidden gems in your personal Xbox game collection! Pick a game (or two) on your tag with less than 1000 gamers tracked on TA and tell us why it's awesome and why we should bump up those numbers! If you don't have games with sub 1000 tracked gamers, pick one of your least tracked games to recommend.

As a bonus, let us know how the achievements are and if they added to your enjoyment of the game(s).

Ell enjoyed driving on the wrong side of the road and going through the different seasons in Forza Horizon 4.  M played some more STAY and knows a lot more about the achievement list now! Fufu bought the very expensive Vampire Survivors DLC and reported on his findings! It didn't make a gar-lick of sense! Koosh pretended that he enjoyed playing Minecraft Dungeons. 

"It's Not BAD", he exclaimed, as he turned off the light, as he recommended this game to us with all of his might.

FuFu - Vampire Survivors DLC
