Hiatus

For all of my reader, wanted to make a quick post to apologize for the dearth of updates.

I’m moving cross-country, so I haven’t had time to get situated and get posts done. I’m hoping to return to a regular schedule come the new year, though there may be some posts before then.

Cheers!

AggroChat #35 – Fun with Raid Simulation

Tonight I am joined by Tam, Ashgar and Kodra as we discuss the various things we have been doing.  One of which is this really interesting raid simulation game that makes me think that the creator must have been a serious vanilla wow raider.  In fact as Tam talks about it in detail… I am pretty sure I could assign names to the various raid personalities from my own experience.  Additionally we delve into our experiences raiding in Final Fantasy XIV and my week of raiding Highmaul in World of Warcraft.  There are of course other topics that fall in between the raid discussion… but it was a very raidy episode.

AggroChat #34 – Good News of Muradin

Tonight we swap things up a bit, Kodra drives the bus and does an excellent job doing it.  During the day Belghast had some pretty rough news, and just didn’t feel up to being his jolly self, as such Kodra stepped in to offer support and we made it through the show in one piece.  Tonight we are joined by Belghast, Kodra, Rae, Ashgar and Raven and talk random gamey bits.  There is much discussion of Final Fantasy XIV as usual with Raven talking about completing her second Novus weapon and beginning a second Nexus grind, and several of us talking about our victory over Ultros and solid attempts on Tier 5 in Binding Coil of Bahamut.  I talk World of Warcraft raiding, and looking forward to beginning the Highmaul Raid after missing Thursday and my raids first two boss kills.

Together Bel, Rae, Kodra and Ashgar talk Heroes of the Storm, since this week they finally saw fit to give Rae an invite.  That game is exceptionally fun and better suited for a more casual gamer than League of Legends is.  Over the course of the week we have played quite a bit of it and talk about our personal hero preferences and playstyles.  Kodra runs a much tighter ship than I seem to, because we actually clocked in at just barely over an hour once editing was finished.  Extra special thanks to Kodra for steering the ship while I couldn’t quite muster the oomph to do so.

BEL FOLKS STUFF #3 – AN EVENING WITH ALTERNATIVE CHAT

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.
