This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, FaustianGreed   Show Discussion - FaustianGreed makes his debut on AH101 and reveals terrible strategies for approaching both the GTASC as well as how to keep your girlfriend. He then performs a decent sales pitch for a great game, but unfortunately the only person listening to him is a ruined gamer that is more interested in a movie that came out over thirty years ago. Elroy then discusses a knock off PowerWash simulator that forgets to simulate fun… or risk.    Games Mentioned: ElroyOMJ - Spray Paint Simulator, Johnny Utah Simulator, PowerWash Simulator, Firefighting Simulator – The Squad, Dead Island 2, Senshi Sokoban Quest, Point Break, Foxes Need to Break FaustianGreed - Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo IV, Grim Idle ----- AH101 Podcast Show Links - https://tinyurl.com/AH101Links Intro music provided by Exe the Hero.

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, pTartTX   Show Discussion - pTart returns to the podcast in what can only be described as very round about achievement talk only to arrive in Malibu and Overcooked in space.   If you are into pleasantries this is your jam.  If you are into achievements and gaming you need to just go play The Count Lucanor.   If you are into unlocking the mysteries of the world such as “what is acroyoga?”, “can I grill soy?”, and so much more then indulge greatly.  If you are into amazing up to date Game Pass news, Gamescom in depth reviews, and general timely updates, then there’s a Count who goes by Lucanor waiting for you.  Pretty. Bada Bing, bada boom.   Games Mentioned: ElroyOMJ - Fueled Up (Overfueled & Overpriced), Shark Adventure, The Count Lucanor pTartTX - Barbie Project Friendship, SokoCrab, The Count Lucanor ----- AH101 Podcast Show Links - https://tinyurl.com/AH101Links Intro music provided by Exe the Hero.

This Week's Panel - KooshMoose, wildwest08   Show Discussion - It's upside-down week on AH101 as Koosh plays a simulation management game well before it leaves Game Pass. Not to be out upside-downed, wildwest plays a somewhat cozy fishing / Cthulu-esque Game Pass game. We briefly mention Gamescom 2025, the Team Cherry announcement that just has to be the Silksong release date this time, right?!?*, and the latest Sony game to cross the street, Helldivers 2. * Spoiler alert - It was.   Games Mentioned: KooshMoose - SteamWorld Build wildwest08 - DREDGE   ----- AH101 Podcast Show Links - https://tinyurl.com/AH101Links Intro music provided by Exe the Hero.

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, Exe the Hero   Show Discussion - “I'll grind your bones to make my bread!” - That's what Exe shouted while he was playing his game this week (probably). Meanwhile, Elroy has forgotten how to do a panel and brings you another assortment of games, all of which he played while comfortably seated on the ground. Ground is the past tense of grind! Tony Hawk also features lots of grinding, but we've already discussed that in a previous show. Anyway, please enjoy this week's episode while you go back to the old grind! Maybe have a grinder sandwich for lunch while you secretly browse dating apps!   Games Mentioned: Exe the Hero - Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey Remastered ElroyOMJ - Wargroove 2, Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap, Retro Classics, Sifu, and Maiden Cops   Year of the Veiner - xNeo21x is back with the Year of the Veiner update for June & July! ----- AH101 Podcast Show Links - https://tinyurl.com/AH101Links Intro music provided by Exe the Hero.

This week, Exe finally showcases one of his favorite games that he's referenced dozens of times over the years while Elroy learns a little about Peru.

This Week's Panel - Exe the Hero, WSTLNDRJoe   Show Discussion - WSTLNDRJoe is back in the house! Elroy couldn't make it this week, but Exe was lucky enough to have the perfect replacement. And you're lucky enough to hear it! This week, Joe talks about a gamepass hidden gem while also discussing the repetitive job of West Coast law enforcement. Exe balances that out by discussing one of the biggest new titles to come to Xbox and tossing in a smattering of hidden cats. Most important, there's not a single mention of beat ‘em ups anywhere to be found this week. Thanks for the week off, Elroy!

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, Wakapeil   Show Discussion - Wakapeil returns to the podcast in a delightful discussion with ElroyOMJ much like all the games they discuss return for another run. It’s rewarms delights as Elroy brings Double Dragon 4 to the table boasting the cutting edge graphics/vibe of a thirty year old game, and Wakapeil somehow goes older discussing Retro Classics… a collection of games forty years old and that require more bandwidth than storage space.   Games Mentioned: ElroyOMJ - Double Dragon 4, Sherlock Purr 2, Word Quest: Medieval Wakapeil - Retro Classics, Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged Year of the Veiner - xNeo21x is back with the Year of the Veiner update for May!

This Week's Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose   Show Discussion - Koosh played a metroidvania new to Game Pass. It stars a Black Panther wannabe, but it seems very enjoyable!

Thanks EastAsiaSoft!   Games Mentioned: Big Ell - Starlight Legacy KooshMoose - Tales of Kenzera: ZAU There may or may not be a hidden phrase this week.

This Week's Panel - ElroyOMJ, Exe the Hero   Show Discussion - Exe and Elroy were a little crunched for time this week, so this episode is all killer, no filler!

This Week's Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose   Show Discussion - wildest08 called in sick so we carried on without him. Ell played a moving game of house(s) with a dark twist.
