This week on Wonderpod. It is the week before E3. So we scrapped together some topics concerning the big event. It’s kind of a preview podcast, but not exactly. There is a lot of joking around and not many bold predictions or analysis. We do manage to give our thoughts on what we want to see and what we actually expect to see at E3 next week.

Wonderpod Episode 160
This week on Wonderpod. Down a man and still recovering from the Xbox One aftermath. So outside of what we’ve been playing. We didn’t talk gaming this week. We wandered between tech, movies and T.V.

Wonderpod Episode 159
Time for this week’s Wonderpod. As your humble post scribbler, I suspect you can guess what we talked about this week. We run through everything and anything connected to the Xbox 1 and it’s reveal on Tuesday. Going through this reveal and the reaction was maddening for all of us. We did our best to boil it all down and give you our take on the entire thing

Achieving is better when you’re not doing it in school.
This year I have been focussing on my pile of shame. Games that have built up over the years which i’ve bought and just haven’t gotten around to playing through. These past few months alone i’ve gone through all the Gears Of Wars, Killzones, Uncharted, etc. I am getting there!
Not ever being one to hunt out achievements in games, or care much about gamerscores, I found myself missing them while getting stuck into some of the older games like Silent Hill (PSOne) and Wipeout (PSOne). Then I realised that achievements have always been about in some form.
Die hard Trilogy is probably one of my favourite games ever. Not only am I a huge fan of the films but as a poor teen and not having disposable income, I had to rely on Birthdays and Christmas for new games. Die Hard Trilogy was actually three different games in one. Sorted.
After completing these three games several times over, i used to play through but set my own side missions or things to achieve while playing through.One of my favourites was to go through the game, and smash every window in a level before I finished it, or just go through a level just using the handgun, and so on.
Love or despise achievements, they have always existed in some form, whether it be officially, or created by the player.
Can you think of any games that you remember setting your own kind of achievements in? If so, leave them in the comments below. It’d be quite interesting to see if anyone had the same goals in the same games.

Gamers. They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To.(Super Metroid Miiverse Reaction)
So as I type this, Super Metroid is available for the amazingly low price of only $.30 on the Wii U. Not only can you play one of the best Super Nintendo games of all time for basically nothing ,you can also play on the touch pad if the television is being used by someone else. Have a WiiU? Get this NOW !
So anyways, I fired up this classic, but before I played I decided to check out the Miiverse just for shits and giggles. Wow was I shocked at the number of cries for help and the announcements of “how hard” this game is by the community. It’s both hilarious and a little discouraging to see so many newer gamers stuck on such a great classic game. They are declaring it “too hard to play”, even “the hardest game ever” ! The truth is I’ve been having nearly as much fun going through the Miiverse as I have replaying this great ,challenging and fun old school Nintendo game. I have to REALLY bite my “virtual tong” and not respond to some of the very silly comments like “what do I do when I turn into a ball “? , “How do I fit into this small hole?” and all the ” Hardest game ever!” comments. Because , I fear if I DO respond I’ll be banned off the Nintendo network for more than a little while.
