AggroChat #564 – Moon Joy

Featuring: Ace, Ashgar, Belghast, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We were out last week due to various scheduling issues, but led off the show with a bit of a message about Bel going through Chemo and maybe having scheduling issues every other week. From there, we talk a bit about the Artemis II mission and how wild it is to experience “Moon Joy”, as we enter a new phase of space exploration.  Ash talks a bit about the Rabbit and Steel update, and Tam talks about the wild experience of playing Screamer.  From there, we talk quite a bit about the Promise Mascot Agency and what a weird gem of a game it is, and how the developer is maybe one to watch going forward.  We talk a bit about Last Epoch and the progress each of us makes, and how Tam was able to lean entirely into his player fantasy…  and at the same time, complete more of the game than I think any of us have, as he dropped Uber Aberroth.  Tam also discusses how sometimes it is just best to nuke your emulator devices and start from scratch, and then we wrap things up with a bit of discussion about upcoming changes to Dune Awakening and how they “get it” and are changing the game to reflect the PVE nature of its player base.

Topics Discussed:

  • A Very Special Message
  • Experiencing Moon Joy
  • Rabbit & Steel Update
  • Screamer
  • Promise Mascot Agency
  • Last Epoch
    • Tam gets his player fantasy
  • Nuking Your Device
    • Rebuilding a Ayn Thor
  • Dune Awakening Gets It

AggroChat #559 – Midnight Strikes

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
