Birds don't have thumbs, which makes it super hard for them to play drums.
Look at all the facts you learn when you listen to us.
The April Achievement Challenge is just past the midway point, and the competition is ramping up! Who are you rooting for?
This challenge has forced us to play every game known to man - good, bad and GamerScore fountains. From playing Donut County to Gears POP...

Half way through the April Achievement Challenge and its time for a sanity check...
How are we holding up? Are we ready to throw in the towel yet? Or are we just getting warmed up?
Kyle and Lee have been playing a lot of games. Like a lot! Currently neck and neck at 12,000 GamerScore for this month alone, and with no sign of slowing down. So with all these games played, lets break it down into good, bad and purely GamerScore games. What do you think makes this list?
You can still join in on the fun! Check out our Patreon for all the rules and guidelines on joining in on the April Achievement Challenge!

Kyle is a bit sick, so doesn't sound great. But we will soldier on!
Are you ready for some news? Because we're bringing the news. Although by this time we may just have to call it olds.. Xbox 360 games are coming to xCloud! So now we can play Fable 2 on our phones, at some point... Beer Brewing Simulator is coming to Xbox and its exactly what it sounds like. We're kind of excited about this game! The Xbox shortage is all down to a $1 part that has currently run out, so we know who to blame now. Lee also butchers Hideo Kojima's name, so its worth listening just for that.
As for new games, we have all the new games. Almost every single one. And then we cut the list down to only the games we wanted to mention. Some very interesting ones made the list... It has Lee questioning everything!

The April Achievement Challenge is about to kick off!
What would you find the most frustrating for this challenge? Someone playing the same games you're playing? Xbox Live going down?
Lee comes up with the most diabolical game plan anyone has ever heard! We may just cancel this challenge all together!
Oh, and there are some game stories here too...

Like a spring ready to strike, we're all geared up for the April Achievement Challenge!
We're telling everyone to join our Division 2 clan, because why not? Join us and lets shoot things in the head and do raids and all sorts of fun things clans do together.
There's a new game being released - PGA Golf. But with Battle Royale mode! One of these statements is not true. Xbox Live Gold is going away for Free-to-Play games! So now you can play Fortnite without the Xbox Live Gold membership. Or Xbox Network Live Gold... What a terrible name.
And Outriders is coming day and date to Xbox GamePass! Another big third party game coming to GamePass, solidifying it as the best deal in gaming.

When it comes to tracking down trucks, you should sleep outside in a tent! And disguise yourself as a glass bottle.
Life advice right here.
We don't talk much about games, we talk more about life in this episode. Sometimes, you just need to talk about life.
Did you know we have a The Division 2 Clan? We're all playing so much Div2. It's become the new Destiny 2. So jump in and join us!
After April, are you going to join us for our Anthem playthrough?
You're formally invited now. So no excuses.

According to Lee, horses are just cows with big necks. Luckily we're a gaming podcast and not a veterinary one!
Cyberpunk 2077 gets an update, promising to bring realistic police to the game. We're not sure what they had before, but if they were any more realistic, we'd be arrested for the puns we make... FPS Boost on the Series X is great! Until it isn't. There's a bug that forces games down to 1080p and the internet is not letting you forget it. And because Lee likes stats (well we all do! Who doesn't like a good stat?), we chat about al the GamePass stats Microsoft is sharing.
In some big news Octopath Traveller comes to Xbox and GamePass day and date of release, along with another Yukaza game. And there's also a Vet Simulator thrown in for all your budding vets out there.

Simone recounting her early morning adventures
Kyle living his best life
And we're starting to get hyped for the April Achievement Challenge. Are you in? Because you should be. It's going to be great fun. All the info about this is here for you.
We also managed to play some games. Kinda...

Bethesda is now officially part of Xbox!
So of course Game Pass is now getting all the games. We can now play play Skyrim for the 400th time!
Get your free Porche in Forza Horizon 4, and Lee talks about the Xbox Wireless headset he reviewed in the very next #GameFace! episode. Do you know we have a clan in The Division 2? Because we do! And you should totally join.
And we finally have the answer about Bethesda exclusives! Xbox is now the home of Western RPG's, and we're so excited we can barely sit still.
For the new games, we have so much release fodder. Just about every single game in the world is being released this week, for some reason.
