This evening we were originally planning on recording the AggroChat Game Club show for The Witness.  However as we got close to recording events happened, and we will be rescheduling that later this month.  That said the September game is announced in this show, and from that point onwards we charted a destination through madness.  This is one of those super meandering shows, that covered a bunch of only semi-related topics.

Things We Talked about: Tales of Maj’eyal – September Game of Month – Nethack – Vampire the Masquerade/Requiem – Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Final Fantasy XIV – The Rising Year 3 – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Deus Ex Go – Sweetness and Lightning Anime – New Game Anime – Game Development Industry – Orange Anime – Breaking Events – WoW Legion Launch – The Sleeper – Raiding in Everquest – Fires of Heaven – Green Dragons of WoW

This week we discuss the April 2016 AggroChat Game of the Month title… Gone Home.  This was a pick by Grace, and honestly one that probably a handful of us would have never played.  However it also holds the special designation as being one of the few Game Club titles that we all universally liked.  We talk about the design of the game, and the narrative, as well as the context.  This game is the quintessential 90s game.  It is set in 1994, the year Belghast graduated from High School and with Grace and Thalen not being far behind that also.  For us it was this trip down memory lane that added so much to the experience.  In any case, as is always the case if you have not played Gone Home and intend to… spoilers are plentiful.
