BEL FOLKS STUFF #3 – AN EVENING WITH ALTERNATIVE CHAT

by

I have to admit I am more than a little nervous about this episode, not because it was difficult to record or anything of the sort, but that I can even possibly hope to live up to the reputation of quality that my guest if the vanguard of.  Roughly a week ago I sat down on a Sunday and had an absolutely delightful conversation with my friend the Godmother of Faff from Alternative Chat.  In fact I managed to get so wrapped up in the conversation that I forgot to have her plug her own stuff, and had to dub that in later.

If you are not very familiar with her work, you should be.  She records the Alternative Chat podcast and blog and the very awesomely condensed Azeroth in 5 podcast where she rams and entire week worth of content into five minutes.  We talk about her world, gaming, her passion for World of Warcraft and all manner of conversation topics held somewhere in the middle.  Together we filled an hour of conversation in what felt like a matter of minutes, and I felt like we could have continued on for another hour more easily.  Hopefully you all will enjoy it as much as I did.

AggroChat #33 – Crafting, Puzzles and Raven

by

On this episode we have a special guest on AggroChat that may turn into a more permanent addition.  Raven is a friend that I initially met through Twitter but we all have become close to through our time spent in Final Fantasy XIV.  She has been awesome with offering to fill in with her characters whenever we happen to need them for our guilds semi-regular shenanigans.  With Rae’s recent absence from the show I had been kicking around the idea of bringing on another person, and thankfully Raven showed some interest in doing it.  Hopefully she had as much fun as the rest of us did, and she brought some interesting takes on the topics we discussed.

This was a massive meandering show where we talked about some of our favorite puzzle games at length even dredging things up like Tetris Attack.  We talked about the Road Not Taken, which is quite possibly the most depressing puzzle rpg ever.  We talk Super Smash brothers, and do a horrible job at trying to guess Ashgar’s favorite character.  We talk about Kodra’s experience playing Dragon Age Origins and how he is ultimately playing a completely different game than I ever managed to play.  We fall into a giant Final Fantasy XIV crafting discussion, since Raven is the pocket expert on the topic.  Finally I discuss my frustrations with Molten Core 40 man LFR from this past Tuesday and how it really does make players not ever want to do 40 man again.

AggroChat #32 – Azeroth, Mordor and Beyond

by

Tonight we have Belghast, Ashgar, Kodra and Tamrielo and once again we fill the evening talking about the games we have been playing.  Kodra talks about his recent experiences playing the Shadows of Mordor, and how the sandbox is actually more enjoyable than the story.  Ashgar talks about Little Big Planet 3 and the beauty of sackboy.  I talk about the rather large WoW shaped hole that I seem to have fallen into with the release of Warlords of Draenor.  Tamrielo talks about his recent experiences in Final Fantasy XIV and finally finding a set piece robe that I actually likes.  This of course is just a sketch of the topics discussed, and several games in between including Endless Legend, Civlization Beyond and Fallen London.

AggroChat #31 – Endless Legend of Draenor

by

Tonight I am joined by Ashgar, Kodra and Tam as we ramble ever onwards about video games and things related to those video games.  Tonight we talk the supremely interesting 4X game Endless Legend… which if nothing else seems to have an endless thing of configuration options.  We talk about Shadows of Mordor where we determine that it may in fact be a “Bel game” so long as I can suffer through the stealth places.  Finally I unload about my recent waffle and subsequent return to World of Warcraft for the Warlords of Draenor expansion.  All of which we expound upon at length in traditiona AggroChat style.
