This week we record an unstable show… and by that I mean a huge chunk of the conversation is about the adventures of Tam, Ash and Kodra in drafting the new magic “un” set. From there we talk a bit about Unstable being Legal in Commander for a small amount of time and the ups and downs of Iconic Masters. We talk a bit about the Curse of Osiris DLC for Destiny 2 and the ups and downs of it. This weekend Monster Hunter World Beta is available on the Playstation Network so we talk a little bit about it and Monster Hunter in general. We talk a bit about Reigns: Her Majesty and Fire Emblem Heroes 2.0 release.

Unstable Draft

AggroChat #179 – Shadespire

May 21, 2019October 29, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo and Thalen

This week we have a more normal show after last weeks super serious one. We do however have a little bit of a call back in the form of a short discussion about how vocal minorities can negatively impact the press surrounding a game. We talk a bit about the launch of Destiny 2 on the PC and how relatively smoothly it has gone. We touch ever so briefly on the madness happening in Warframe right now with Twitch streams and free loot. From there we delve into Warhammer Shadespire and spend a good deal of time talking about it and past Games Workshop games. This leads to a bit of a discussion about the problem Magic the Gathering has with onboarding new players. Thalen talks about his experiences playing Orwell, and Tam and Ash talk a bit about the Legend of Five Rings Living Card Game. Finally we wrap things up with some talk about clicker games in general and two specifically: Paperclips and Succubox.

May 21, 2019October 1, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace and Kodra

We are down a Tam and a Thalen, and in the case of Tam it was due to his birthday celebrations.. So if you see Tam online send him some belated wishes. This week we lead things off with some talk about Pokken Tournament and its recent release on the Switch as Kodra and Ashgar spent some time playing it this week. We talk about the Nintendo Switch in general and the fact that we all seem to prefer buying new games on it rather than older Nintendo consoles. We talk a bit about the release of Ixalan and some general discussion about the decision to go away from ultra rare chase cards. Belghast talks a bit about the larger Magic the Gathering market place and how this move seems to making prices a bit more stable so far. We talk a bit about our hopes for Magic the Gathering Arena, and how it might bring us what we actually have wanted for awhile… actual Magic in a Hearthstone package. Belghast talks about the Destiny 2 Faction Rally event and how he has collected all 12 weapons currently available from it. Ashgar talks a bit about his experiences in Guild Wars 2 Path of Fire and collecting mounts. Finally Bel talks a bit about the Final Fantasy Record Keeper 30th anniversary event that is going on currently.

AggroChat #173 – Vampire Pirate Dinosaurs

May 21, 2019September 17, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Kodra

Tonight we are down both a Thalen and a Tam and get off on some meandering topics. We start off with some discussion about the Final Fantasy XIV Rising event that just finished and the introduction of the cheap dungeon. From there Belghast gets pretty deep in the woods talking about infusion mechanics and Destiny 2. We branch off from there into a discussion that is really hard to describe. Functionally we were having a chat about MMOs and whether or not the devs are obligated to provide a uniform experience for all players and all activities in a game. This branches out into a bunch of directions from the PVP/PVE debate to how uneven some of the artifact weapon quests felt in World of Warcraft Legion. Kodra talks a bit about his recent journey into the iOS port of one of his favorite Vlaada Chvatil games… Though the Ages. Ashgar gives us some updates on his experience playing through Monster Hunter Stories and we delve a bit into the new Magic the Gathering expansion Ixalan.
