AggroChat #236 – Pax South 2019 Rundown

May 21, 2019January 20, 2019 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we have a fairly packed show as Ashgar is recording from Pax South 2019. As such we start off with a rundown of some of the games he played. From there Bel talks a bit about TemTem or a game he backed but forgot to fill out the survey for that is actually a Not-Pokemon MMORPG. We dive into some talk about games that have massively overhauled themselves specifically discussing Stellaris and Warframe. Then we get into a discussion about normal and mundane things happening in games and how it sometimes enriches the experience in ways you don’t at first expect. Finally a quick discussion about Elder Scrolls Online and the Necromancer before we realize we have gone well over time.

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

This week we set out a plan of some dozen different topics… but only actually made it through two of them. Last we recorded the Games of the Year show and this week we started things off with some discussion of a few of the honorable mentions that didn’t quite make the list. From there we had a discussion about what games interest us for the upcoming year… and the list we gathered up is sorta nonsense. I have no clue what order we actually tackled them in so just sorta going to make an attempt at listing everything out.

AggroChat #233 – Games of the Year 2018

May 21, 2019December 30, 2018 by AggroChat

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

This evening we do our traditional Games of the Year show, and apparently we are way less verbose than we used to be. These shows used to get chopped into two roughly hour and a half long shows… but this year we managed to do it in pretty much two hours straight. What makes this even more interesting is the fact that we churned through nineteen games in the process. Ultimately we each pick roughly five games that were important to us during the calendar year, and some overlap always occurs. This year less overlap happened than is normal.

Games Discussed

CrossCode
Destiny 2 Forsaken
Dragon Quest XI
Fallout 76
Subnautica
Gloomhaven
Heroes of Hammerwatch
Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Diablo 3 on Switch
Magic the Gathering Arena
Night in the Woods
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Hitman 2
Return of the Obra Dinn
Spiderman
Hollow Knight
Dragalia Lost
Monster Hunter World

AggroChat #232 – Two-Tone Tales

May 21, 2019December 23, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra and Thalen

Tonight we are down a few people and have a fairly scattered show where we cover a bunch of topics… but none of them super deeply? You can tell we were all somewhat out of it because while editing the podcast there were a bunch of really lengthy pauses. Tonight Bel rails in the Elder Scrolls Patcher apparently being blocked by various ISPs including his. He also talks a bit about the Destiny 2 Dawning Event and making questionable baked goods. Thalen talks a bit about the FFXIV Starlight Celebration event.

Bel spins up a topic from his blog about the seeming return to NDA restricted games testing. Thalen talks about Return of the Obra Dinn, and Kodra a bit about Gris. We discuss the topic that has bounced around a bit on the significance of going Left in video games. There is some brief discussion about Artifact and how it is trying to right the ship… and some of the MTG Finance speculation that came into that market quickly that is super angry about the price crash. Finally we talk a bit about Starfinder and Pathfinder in general and the lack of really good ready made third party modules.

Topics Discussed

Elder Scrolls Online Patcher Problems
Destiny 2
- The Dawning Event
Final Fantasy XIV
- Starlight Celebration
NDA Testing Makes a Comeback
Return of the Obra Dinn
Gris
Going Left
- Night in the Woods

- Castlevania Symphony of the Night
