AggroChat #190 – Vegetarian Apex Predator

May 21, 2019February 11, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

This week we record our 190th episode and for whatever reason each time we tick off a 10th episode it seems like a big deal. Last week during the bustle of getting ready for a show I completely missed a topic so we are leading off with that. Thalen talks a bit about the early access deck building game Slay the Spire. From there we talk a bit about our continued addiction to Monster Hunter World in spite of its flaws on the group interaction side. We talk a bit about our new D&D 5th Edition Campaign set in a custom game world of Tam’s design. Kodra talks a bit about bouncing off of Warframe and that leads to a discussion about games and accessibility. Tam and Ash describe Night in the Woods… and it begins to sound an awful lot like Bel’s experiences with his own home town. From there we attempt to close out the show but get into another discussion about Monster Hunter World before actually succeeding.

Topics Discussed

Slay the Spire
Monster Hunter World
Fallout: The Board Game
D&D 5e Campaign
Bouncing off Warframe
Accessibility and Games
Night in the Woods
More Monster Hunter

AggroChat #189 – Very Meowscular

May 21, 2019February 4, 2018 by AggroChat

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

Tonight we are back after roughly three weeks off… one week missed because I had the flu and another week devoted to a game of the month show. As a result there are a bunch of things we have to say about a wide variety of topics. Bel discovers Wolcen a game attempting to split the line between Diablo 2/Path of Exile and Diablo 3. Kodra talks a bit about how well the Switch works as a mobile gaming platform and his experiences with Mario and Rabbids. Tam talks a bit about Nier Automata and how close he came to just giving up on that game. Kodra talks about his recent trip back to Atlanta and all of the board gaming that happened. Bel talks a bit about Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age and how it weirdly follows the Japanese control standards. Grace talks a bit about her experiences with the recent Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft patches. Then we go through a big discussion about our feelings in regards to the Monster Hunter World release and how we seem to have fallen into a big hole.

Topics Discussed

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem
Switch as Mobile Platform
Mario and Rabbids
Nier Automata
Board Games
Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age
Final Fantasy XIV Patch
World of Warcraft Patch
Monster Hunter World Shaped Hole

Aggrochat #188 – The Persona 5 Show

May 21, 2019January 28, 2018 by AggroChat

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

This week we are back after an impromptu absence brought on by the Flu. It is time to record our December/January game of the month show… Persona 5. This was Tam’s pick and he went back and forth as to whether or not he should pick such a long game. However considering we recorded two full hours of packed conversation I am guessing it was a pretty great choice. We also announce Grace’s pick for the February game of the month… Pyre a game that surprisingly only one of us has played given just how much we tend to love games from Super Giant.

AggroChat #187 – Pax South Vicariously

May 21, 2019January 14, 2018 by AggroChat

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

Firstly I feel like I need to lead with an apology. I’ve picked up some crud over the last few weeks and as a result my voice is pretty rough. I manage to make it through the show but there are a handful of long pauses where I went into a coughing fit. Tonight we talk about how jealous I am that Ash is at Pax South and I am not. The timing was horrible and I wouldn’t have wanted to be there in this condition anyways. We talk a bit about Destiny 2 announced changes and Kodra’s recent experiences with Super Mario Odyssey. From there we dive into the recent Nintendo Direct and Tam’s current forray back into Final Fantasy XIV. Lastly we talk a bit about the Total War series, specifically Warhammer 1 and 2.
