AggroChat #179 – Shadespire
Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo and Thalen
This week we have a more normal show after last weeks super serious one. We do however have a little bit of a call back in the form of a short discussion about how vocal minorities can negatively impact the press surrounding a game. We talk a bit about the launch of Destiny 2 on the PC and how relatively smoothly it has gone. We touch ever so briefly on the madness happening in Warframe right now with Twitch streams and free loot. From there we delve into Warhammer Shadespire and spend a good deal of time talking about it and past Games Workshop games. This leads to a bit of a discussion about the problem Magic the Gathering has with onboarding new players. Thalen talks about his experiences playing Orwell, and Tam and Ash talk a bit about the Legend of Five Rings Living Card Game. Finally we wrap things up with some talk about clicker games in general and two specifically: Paperclips and Succubox.

AggroChat #135 – Looks Like A Kahuna
Tonight Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra and Tam talk Pokemon and a whole list of other topics.
Tonight we got a bit of late start, but once things got rolling we recorded a proper show. Last week we had pushed off the topic of Pokemon Sun and Moon because we literally ran out of time. We start recording around 9 pm CST and when it is past midnight… we know we are in trouble. So we talk a bit about the game and things that folks have noticed about it. Several of us are not terribly far along… others have beaten the game. Grace talks about her addiction to Justice Monsters Five and how no other games really matter at all.
Bel goes on a discussion about his feelings about various streaming options and why he is moving towards Beam. Bel talks about how this is the year that he stopped browsing steam, because there is just too much random stuff out there. This spawns a conversation about games that get lost in the mix… like Obsidian’s recent release of Tyranny. This oddly spawns another contorted shift as Bel talks about that he figures out why he doesn’t really enjoy Halo games. We shift gears and talk a bit about Final Fantasy XIV and the Alexander Turn 11 fight. Finally we wrap things up with some talk about the new Star Wars Destiny Collectible Card Game.
Discussion points: Pokemon Sun and Moon – Justice Monsters Five – Twitch vs Hitbox vs Beam – Browsing Steam – Tyranny – Bel and Halo – Final Fantasy XIV – Alexander Turn 11 – Star Wars Destiny

AggroChat #107 – Objectifying Corgis
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.
