AggroChat #199 – Four Years Complete

May 21, 2019April 15, 2018 by AggroChat

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

In a human sense AggroChat just turned 5 years old this last Friday… but in a more correct sense we have now completely four entire years of this podcast. I still feel like we really don’t completely know what we are doing here. As the patron saint of bad decisions… Belghast journeys back into Everquest… not EQ2 but the original and talks a bit about how many of those systems have changed drastically. Grace and Bel talk a bit about their Mythical Nonsense journey in World of Warcraft as they reached Mythic +10 this past week. We go into a lengthy conversation talking about encounter decision with several examples including Monster Hunter World and Dark Souls. We talk briefly about the Dominaria expansion for Magic the Gathering and the release of Standard Ready Challenger Decks. Finally we wrap up with a little bit of discussion about the MegaMan event happening in Monster Hunter World.

AggroChat #198 – Mining Our Memories

May 21, 2019April 8, 2018 by AggroChat

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

Tonight we are back recording an normal show after last week’s game of the year show. This also marks the first show we are purposefully trying to time box at around 90 minutes worth of recording time… which turns into roughly an hour of run time after editing. The plan is to make this show a little easier to consume… and also easier to record for those of us who are in central and east coasts because some of our bigger shows lead to getting to bed occasionally around 1 am. As a result we whittled down the list of topics a bit and wound up with essentially four solid topics to discuss. As a result oddly enough the conversation seemed to flow much more easily so it may also be a good decision for our content in the long run as well.

Topics Discussed:

Bloodborne
- Soulsian Games
Spring Blossom Event
- Monster Hunter World
Neostalgia MMORPGs
- Project Gorgon
- Shroud of the Avatar
The Way Games Start

This week we have a wide number of topics to discuss starting with the Nintendo Direct from March 8th and the fake out announcement of Smash Brothers. We talk a bit about Monster Hunter 4U and Generations and why maybe one is a better starting place in the series than the other. We talk about State of Decay 2 and the backlash over it being on the Windows Store only. We briefly talk about what it would take to make Desktop Linux a reality. Tam talks a bit about finishing the first route in Nier Automata and Bel discusses his experiences with Final Fantasy XV PC including the source of this screenshot. Finally we wrap things up with a discussion about the Legend of Five Rings Living Card game and that Tam has recently begun playing it online unofficially.
