156: Real Men Platinum - Trophies and Achievements

On this episode the Beats crew takes a look at a topic we've mentioned in passing several times before but are finally giving it the attention it deserves - the world of gaming trophies and achievements! We talk about the origins of gaming achievements (which might surprise you!) as well as discussing what makes a good trophy (or a bad one) and some of our favorites to collect. We also take a look at our overall trophy stats and the rarest trophies we've got. At the end of all of our banter we cap things off with some trophy trivia. Are you someone that strives for 100% achievement completion? Do you live to hear that platinum notification? Then this is the episode for you! Don't really care about all that? Well, I think you'll still have a good time. And after all, if you want to get the achievement for listening to all of the BOTM episodes you don't really have a choice. So grab your Brasso and get ready to shine up those awards in this deep dive on gaming achievements and trophies!
