AggroChat #490 – Dawntrail Spoiler Show – Part Two

by
Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks!  After taking a week off from it, we are returning to our Dawntrail full spoiler show.  This week we say hi to Tam and Kodra…  before they boop out of the show given that neither has actually played FFXIV recently.  We pick up where we left off with the coronation of the new Dawn Servant and then dive into all of the “things” that happen after that.  We also talk a bit about the story surrounding the first raid of the expansion in the Arcadion.  It is a bit of a long show clocking in at almost two hours.

Topics Discussed:

  • Dawn Servant Coronation
  • Visiting Texico
  • Some Things Happen
  • Some Even Weirder Things Happen
  • The Arcadion

AggroChat #488 – Dawntrail Spoiler Show – Part One

by
Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Thalen
Hey Folks!  For years we have had this tradition of recording a full spoiler show once all of the folks who are actively playing Final Fantasy XIV have completed the content.  We knew this would be an epic undertaking given that we never got around to recording a post-Endwalker show.  This is absolutely going to at a minimum be two shows…  maybe three depending on how well the next show goes.  We used to record these epic five-hour-long shows that I edited down into chunks…  but have thankfully since wised up to just splitting them between several weeks.  This week we cover everything that happens after the Endwalker MSQ credit roll until just before the halfway point of Dawntrail.  Be warned, this is a full spoiler discussion as we recount the tale and talk about various details in depth along the way.

Topics Discussed:

  • Post Endwalker Content
  • Estinien is Bad with Money
  • Once More to the Thirteenth
  • An Unlikely Mentorship
  • The Journey of the Dawnservant

AggroChat #467 – Bombardier Falcon

by
Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! This week we have a sick Bel that is trying to hold on during the show and a very long-distance Kodra, but it all works out in the end.  We start off with some discussion about Marvel reprinting the Godzilla comic run that has been out of print for decades.  From there Bel and Grace talk a bit about some recent experiences with Enshrouded and playing it multiplayer.  Bel also talks a bit about the endgame and its strengths and weaknesses.  From there we talk quite a bit about Last Epoch and the reveal of the Falconer and the upcoming 1.0 release.  We discuss our plans for the first “cycle” and how we seem to all be favoring the magic find faction. Lastly, we get into a discussion about how the spoiler-averse culture that we find ourselves in makes it very hard to discuss narrative games.

Topics Discussed:

  • Godzilla Marvel Comic
  • Enshrouded
    • Some Multiplayer Gameplay
    • Discussing the strengths and weaknesses
  • Last Epoch
    • Falconer Reveal
    • Looking forward to 1.0
  • Spoiler Aversion
    • How it is hard to discuss narrative games

AggroChat #90 – Star Wars Spoilers Show

by

aggrochat90_720

Firstly let me lead off this post with a quick note…  I screwed up.  We had a discussion last week about potentially switching to the Season/Episode format for our show numbers.  After the discussion we decided to go with continuing the bigger numbers is better format.  Before the show I go out and double check to make sure what episode we are on… and apparently I look at the wrong episode.  As a result I absolutely announced this week as 89 when it should have been 90.  I feel strange about edits… largely because the format of our show is intended to be like listening in on an existing conversation.  So for the time being I’ve decided to let my screw up stand…  feel free to mock me.

On the week of Star Wars the Force Awakens release we actually had planned on recording a show on our feelings about the movie.  The thing is… that we all for the most part loved the movie so much that we did not want to add to the spoilers on the internet.  As a result we put off the show until a point where we felt it was “fair game”.  Upon coming back to work after New Years it seems like the internet has declared Star Wars spoilers open season, so as a result we decided to go ahead and record the show.  What ended up happening is a show really unlike what I expected.  It was far more critical than the hour and a half gush fest that I expected…  but still from the point of fans talking about fandom.

Tonight we also welcome back Dallian and Neph for yet another “big show” which are starting to seem far more common this year.
