AggroChat #191 – Insect Glaive is Vega

May 21, 2019February 18, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Tamrielo and Thalen

Generally speaking when I think we have a short show… we end up recording a two hour long epic of nuance and random commentary. This is not one of those situations. We are still very much in a Monster Hunter shaped hole that may or may not be the footprint of the monster we are tracking. That said we do talk a bit about DragonQuest Builders on the Switch and Radiant Historia on the 3DS. However like clockwork we did in fact dig right back into the Monster Hunter goodness as we somehow managed to get Thalen to buy into this nonsense as well.

Topics Discussed:

DragonQuest Builders
Radiant Historia

Valentione’s Fun

February 12, 2018 by Grace

I don’t always do the seasonal events in FFXIV. They are usually fun and silly, so I enjoy them. Somehow I don’t quite have the same completionist streak in that game that I do in other MMOs though. Anyway I was totally prepared to skip the current “Valentione’s” event, until my friend asked if I wanted to queue for it together.

I’m super glad I said yes! A lot of times in FFXIV the seasonal events have you either do solo quests, or run fates out in the world. This one had you queue for a two-person instance to see how “attuned” your characters are to each other. We had to solve a maze while tethered together, and then do a card patching game. We ended up being a favorable match! I never doubted it, we’re two awesome femmeRoes.

It was quick and fun and at the end of it we each got one half of this ridiculous chair mount. We took them out for a spin together. They are so ridiculous and I love them. They each have one silly wing on the back, and they can fly. I am so happy I took the time to do this event with a friend!

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.
