AggroChat #124 – The Witness Show

May 21, 2019September 18, 2016 by AggroChat

This week Ashgar, Belghast, Inky Kodra, Tam and Thalen discuss the August Game Club game The Witness

This week we finally get around to discussing the August AggroChat Game Club title, The Witness. The game has been called a bunch of things, but the most common assessment has related it to Myst. We discuss why this is probably a bad comparison among other things. This absolutely clicked with some of our team, and others bounced super hard off of the title. Much discussion is had however and that was the entire point of doing a Game Club so it feels like this title was an absolute success. Join us as we delve into the game in a spoilery journey into The Witness.

AggroChat #118 – The Cities: Skylines Show

May 21, 2019August 7, 2016 by AggroChat

Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tam, Thalen and Inky talk about Cities: Skylines the July AggroChat Game Club Game

After putting it off a week due to folks travelling, this week we record the July AggroChat Game Club show for our title of the month Cities: Skylines. In this episode we talk about just how deep the rabbit hole of simulation goes with this would be king of city and mayor simulators. In many ways this show is the tail of many failed cities and a handful of successful ones. It is also when we learn just how bad of a mayor Belghast would be. This title is the heir to the Sim City lineage, so we ask the question how it stacks up. We also ask the question if city simulation is really that fun? Additionally we get into a side tangent about wastewater management.

May 21, 2019July 10, 2016 by AggroChat

This week Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tam, Thalen and special guest Inky Discuss Pokemon Go and small bit of FFXIV

This week the world has caught a horrible case of pokemonitis… and our stalwart AggroChat crew have not been immune. Instead of hanging out at home… we seem to have all been roaming our respective neighborhoods looking for invisible critters. So as a result we recorded a show that is almost entirely Pokemon Go talk. Towards the end we discuss our return to Final Fantasy XIV this week and our attempt to “get the band back together”. My Pokemans… Let me show you them!

AggroChat #107 – Objectifying Corgis

May 21, 2019May 15, 2016 by AggroChat

Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tam and Inky discuss a truly dizzying number of topics the largest bit focused on Stellaris

This week we welcome back our sometimes host Inky… and I apparently get her confused with one of the other Pacman ghosts. The title of this episode doesn’t really relate to the discussion other than it was a hilarious line that slipped out there somewhere along the way. This week folks played a lot of Stellaris in both single and multiplayer configurations. We delve into this game and its relation to other 4X games, and why this one clicks for some better than the normal fare. We take a whirlwind trip through Fallout 4 and The Sims, before discussing Twitch Streaming. I talk for a bit about my revised experiences with the new Doom reboot, and why I consider it far better than my early multiplayer experiences. Grace talks about her return to Final Fantasy XIV and how much she loves healing butts. This kicks off a conversation about MMOs and Raiding and winds up with Inky and I pining for Hellgate London again. Finally we wrap things up with a discussion about Uncharted and the whole “cinematic game” trend of the 2000s.
