It is a momentous occasion! Since Lucia left, we’ve felt a void on the show. While we can never replace Lucia and his expertise, we have found a new co-host who we trust to help make Trophy Whores greater than a fantastic, magical speedboat full of pandas in pastel suits. Stephen, also a host of…
We should call this the Double Dragon podcast, because Alex and Yield are tearing it up in the streets and spreading the gospel of Trophy Whores: Platinum trophies. If we changed the name, confusion could ensue, as as people might expect a podcast about the video game series Double Dragon. Billy and Jimmy don’t want…
This week, you’re listening to the world’s greatest tag team: Alex and Yield. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas? As good as they were, they weren’t even the best tag team in WWE during their run. It’s true. While they have shown their prowess in a wrestling ring, I doubt that either Benjamin or Haas have…
We promise this story won’t involve a mutant cure or an ill-conceived Dark Phoenix arc. This week we bid farewell to another long-serving host, as Lucia, or Mark, if you prefer, follows his dream to become a world-renowned JRPG play-tester. Since he’s a big fan of wrestling, and World Wrestling Entertainment in particular, we can’t…
Maybe it’s an Ohio thing. Yield might have misspoke, because Andre 3000 didn’t teach him to do that. Or maybe it’s an Ohio thing. We live in strange times. This week we reveal the winner of the Trophy Whores E3 predictions battle royale. While the ruling was appealed by at least two Trophy Whores, in…
During their E3 2017 showcase, Sony Interactive Entertainment seemed to have traded long-winded monologues for a nearly constant stream of game videos. Truth be told, Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO Shawn Layden didn’t have much to say during the showcase. People seem split in their opinions. Alex liked the press conference, while Mark and…
This week, we share our predictions for the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017. As every year, the competition is fierce. Alex and Mark are each looking to claim his first victory, while Tricky and Yield look to repeat previous wins. Yield has won twice; Tricky won last year. While everyone is confident that he has the…
This week Alex hosts, which means that you can expect brilliant segues and at least one BioShock reference. With Mark and Stephen helping to navigate the latest video game news, we’ve got you covered on all the facts and stories that you need to know. For instance, did you know that Sony Computer Entertainment needs…
We don’t dislike the New York Rangers; however, Tricky talks a lot of trash, so when his team takes a nosedive in the playoffs, you know that he will catch hell. Guest host Stephen, also a Rangers fan, weathers the storm as best he can, but, like being tossed around in an F5 tornado, it’s…
We’re still feeling the effects of Troy’s absence. The DesTroyer of Insipid Arguments, who can lawyer you faster than Reggie Fils-Aime can smirk, has decided to leave Trophy Whores in light of backlash from a vocal minority of listeners. We thought that everyone liked Zelda, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon and Little Mac. We miss you,…
After much deliberation, I, the Troyce of Reason and desTroyer of insipid arguments, vacate my seat on Trophy Whores. In recent weeks, a vocal minority has complained that my contributions vary from the core content of the show, and I feel that this unwanted discussion has irked listeners and sullied the unquestionable reputation of the…
With episode 300 in the books, we return to our normally scheduled shenanigans. As always, we warn you that silliness and sarcasm abound. We assume that’s what you’re here for. Don’t let anyone tell you not to end a sentence in a preposition. As we inch closer to summer, when the pool of noteworthy games…
Look! Im not gonna lie to you! No everyone is here, but two whores did show up and bring a guest. Listen as Tricky, Troy, and Stephen talk about Journy, Abzu, Tales From The Borderlands, and much much more We appreciate your support (and your ears)! Please subscribe to the Trophy Whores feed in iTunes…
We’ve certainly come a long way. Through all of the years, episodes and rotating seats, not to mention the bickering and friendly ribbing, the Trophy Whores have made it to episode 300. It’s a momentous occasion, and we’ve got reason to celebrate! First and foremost, we thank everyone who has helped push us here —…
No Alex! No witty summary. Tricky, Troy, Yield, and Mark talk nonsense for about an hour. Enjoy In a bit of big, big news, Trophy Whores is on iHeartRadio, which greatly expands the show’s footprint and reach. It’s a tremendous honor for the show to be part of iHeartRadio’s massive and respected community, and Proven…
Here we are again. Like Alex has said, the Trophy Whores Fireside Chats might have to become a series. After overwhelmingly positive feedback from the first show, Alex and Tricky sit down again by the fireside and shoot the breeze in an informal chat. We’re still putting together the best possible episode 300; however, we…
This week the Trophy Whores pay homage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, former president of the United States of America. In lieu of episode 300, which still needs time to bake in the oven, the guys opt to record a freewheeling show, which features Tricky and Troy’s tales from the PAXlands, as well as a meaty,…
While Tricky and Troy are cruising the show floor at PAX East 2017, the triumphant trophy-touting trio of Mark, Alex and Yield discuss the biggest PlayStation news to emanate from Boston. Although the original Penny Arcade Expo, PAX Prime, has spawned annual sister shows, and dropped its “Prime” moniker, seemingly lessening the impact of each…
Last Tuesday, Sony Computer Entertainment shared a gem with the gaming world, and we’re feeling the aftershocks. Yes, we’re in the midst of Horizon Zero Dawn release week, and you know that the Trophy Whores are talking miles about Guerilla Games new open-world action game. The opinions differ in certain areas, but, unsurprisingly, the guys…
Horizon: Zero Dawn has arrived. Finally. After much hype and press, we can blast through Guerilla Games’ latest creation, in which giant machines roam a lush world where nature thrives and humans live primitive lives. You need to aim well, gamer. We’ve got a nasty fight on our hands. And Alex can’t be happier. “Now, bring…
