AggroChat #268 – Chatroulette but Wholesome

by
Featuring:  Ammo, Ashgar, Belghast, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we have a handful of things to talk about that are not World of Warcraft Classic and were smart enough to start with those.  First up Ash has been playing a lot of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and seemingly Tam and Ammo are stuck at the same point before things get interesting.  From there we talk about Greedfall and confronting the legacy of colonialism in a fantasy Action RPG. Tam talks a bit about Kind Words, something that is not exactly a game but is most definitely a joyful experience that has conspired to make me late getting the podcast out this morning.  Finally we talk at length about World of Warcraft Classic and some of the design differences we are noticing between it and Retail.

Topics Discussed

  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses
  • Greedfall
  • Kind Words
  • World of Warcraft Classic
    • Zone and Dungeon Design
    • Sound Design

by
Featuring: Ammo, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

Last week we recorded our second half of the Shadowbringers spoiler show, but as a result it pushed a few topics off to this week.  First we talk about Pax West and the experiences of Ash, Kodra and Tam as they roamed the show floor. After that we talk about the most recent Nintendo Direct and some of the titles that stood out.  Lastly we go over our normal time talking about our most recent obsession World of Warcraft Classic. I am sure this will be a topic spread across many weeks but we at least start the discussion of our feelings about returning to a game that seemingly we still enjoy playing.

Topics Discussed

  • Pax West 2019
    • Indie Game Rundown
    • Board Game Rundown
    • True Dungeon Experience
  • Nintendo Direct 9/4/2019
    • Terry Bogard in Smash
    • SNES games with Nintendo Online

    • Xenoblade Chronicles Remaster
    • Town Renamed
  • World of Warcraft Classic
    • The Story of Kevin
    • Rose Colored Lenses

Last week we recorded the first part of our deep dive and heavy spoilery show on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Expansion.  We realized that it was going to take more than a single night and opted to break it up into two shows. This week we record the second part of the show and finish our discussion.  So we sit down and talk our way up to and including the latest raid.

Topics Discussed:

  • Final Fantasy XIV
    • Shadowbringers Expansion

AggroChat #265 – Shadowbringers Spoiler Show – Part 1

by
Featuring:  Ammo, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra Tamrielo, and Thalen with special guest Shiana

Every so often something affects the entire crew of the show enough to make us want to do an all hands deep dive into it.  We had been waiting for the last few stragglers to finish up the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers content before recording our big spoiler show, and over the last few weeks that happened.  Tongiht we have the full normal cast as well as a friend of the show Shiana for a sit down as we crawl through the story of this expansion. Unfortunately, we realized there was no way to cram it into a single episode so we will continue next week with the second part.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • Final Fantasy XIV
    • End of Stormblood
    • Shadowbringers Expansion
