AggroChat #560 – Hazy Reflections

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We are down an Ash this week but start off talking about the Path of Exile League launch. Bel and Ace have different opinions of the league mechanic than Kodra, so we talk a bit about that.  We also talk about the new holy strike and how it is so much better than glacial hammer.  From there, Ace and Kodra talk about Everything is Crab and convince the rest of us that we should also be playing it.  Kodra discusses the mixed bag that was Emerald City Comic Con, and Tam ventures forth into more Retro gaming with Kolibri.  Kodra discusses Croak and a few other Steamfest demos that he played after last weeks show, and Bel shares some thoughts about how chill the World of Warcraft community seems to be right now.  Finally, a quick topic about Pokopia, which we will likely revisit on another episode.

Topics Discussed:

  • Path of Exile
    • Mirage League
  • Everything is Crab
  • Emerald City Comic Con
  • Kolibri
  • Croak and other Steamfest Demos
  • Heroics Actually Chill
  • Pokopia

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We started out down an Ace and a Kodra, but picked up a Kodra as we went.  Ash informs us that Nextfest is happening, and a few of us realized it.  We talk a bit about the various games that have demos right now, or at least will for the first day after this show releases.  From there, Tam shares his thoughts about Under the Island, a charming Zelda-like.  Tam also talks about attempting to get into some of the later retro gaming consoles like the PS2, PS3, Saturn, and Dreamcast on the Ayn Thor.  Bel is spun up because this week he has two big topics to talk about, first starting with the Path of Exile Mirage announcement and the sweeping endgame changes.  From there, he talks about getting sucked back into World of Warcraft and mainlining the new expansion.  Finally, we have a bit of a quick topic as we discuss the Dune Awakening Double Experience and Resources Event that is happening currently.

Topics Discussed:

  • Nextfest is Happening
  • Under the Island
  • Slightly Less Retro Gaming
    • Ayn Thor
  • Path of Exile Mirage Reveal
  • World of Warcraft Midnight Expansion
  • Dune Awakening Double Resources Event

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We have the entire crew this week but have a bit of a rolling start without Tam as he was finishing something up in Star Citizen.  We begin the show with some talk about Relooted a game about recovering antiquities and returning them to their rightful homes.  After that, we discuss Destiny Rising and how it appears to be in maintenance mode lately.  No one had it on their bingo card, but we talked a bit about the drop of the Warlock class in Diablo II Resurrected and how it is also coming to Immortal and Diablo IV.  Tam shares his thoughts about playing Warhammer: The Old World and how it is not exactly the game he thought it was going to be.  We discuss a bunch of rapid-fire topics from the recent Sony State of Play event, and then Kodra dives into Thinky Games and Shape of Dreams.  We discuss the failed state of Highguard and 2XKO and what it means for multiplayer games in general. Finally, a quick blurb that we are all looking forward to Horizon Hunters Gathering, and they should give us all keys to test it.

  • Warlock in Diablo II
