Tonight we talk about our April AggroChat Game Club Game… Moon Hunters. This was an Ashgar pick, and bills itself as a Co-Op Personality Test. We talk about whether or not this title actually is fitting as well as our experiences playing a game designed to be replayed over and over. We discuss the storytelling, artwork and music of the game and our general thoughts and feelings about the experience. Additionally we announce the May AggroChat Game Club Game that is definitely going to provide some interesting discussion. |

One of the things that gets edited down before you get your hands on the podcast is any long gaps between topics. This week we were seemingly a little bit out of it, and the pauses were significant. When I sat down to start editing I had 2 hours and 15 minutes worth of recorded audio, and after doing my normal compression pass… we are down to just a little over 1 hour and 30 minutes. The result was a pretty wide gamut of topics that we discussed, and between the pauses some of the more interesting conversation about a few things that we had never quite delved into. Among the topics a lengthy discussion about what is wrong with Warhammer games as a whole, and our fears regarding what is absolutely going to be a crushing tank shortage with Stormblood. Topics Discussed:

Tonight we talk about a whole list of topics in probably one of our more packed shows in a very long time. Tam talks some more about how Persona 5 it is a serious contender for his game of the year… and his current soundtrack addiction. Kodra shares his final thoughts about Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and how he enjoyed it… but not nearly as much as he had hoped. Belghast talks about Mass Effect Andromeda and his thoughts upon completing it in as non-spoilery as he possibly can. We talk about the cancelling of the NES Classic, and how Nintendo sometimes seems like it doesn’t like money. We talk about the Skyforge and the release on consoles and how they have improved the game since launch. We talk about what we know about The Secret World Legends… and our hopes that it makes that game into one that we want to return to in A Realm Reborn style. Kodra talks about the new Magic the Gathering Amonkhet card set release, and finally Thalen talks about the brand new Netflix Mystery Science Theater 3000 series. Topics Discussed: Persona 5 - Zelda Breath of the Wild Final Thoughts - Skyward Sword - Mass Effect Andromeda Final Thoughts - Nintendo Doesn’t Like Money - Skyforge on Console - The Secret World Legends - Magic the Gathering Amonkhet - Mystery Science Theater 3000 |

Tonight a very sleepy Belghast leads our cast through a discussion of the things that have been sitting waiting to be discussed due to last week being a Game of the Month show. The year of amazing video game releases continues and Tam especially is extremely amped to talk about Persona 5. In a weird turn of events Kodra discovers Castlevania Symphony of the Night in looking for things to play on his PSTV and we dive into a length discussion about that game. We continue on our discussion about Zelda Breath of the Wild and how Tam is just struggling with it. Belghast and Tam gush a bit about the Nintendo Switch given that Bel just recently joined the Cult by getting one from Amazon during their extremely brief window of availability. We talk about Specter of Torment the latest addon pack to Shovel Knight, and how it is doing a bunch of different things than either the Shovel or Plague Knight content. Grace and Bel talk a bit about the Diablo 3 10th Season and how they are desperate for new content… but still finding a lot of fun in the game. Finally there is some discussion about the World of Warcraft 7.2 patch and how both Grace and Belghast have largely bounced off of it so far. Topics Discussed: Persona 5 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch - Specter of Torment - Diablo 3 Season - World of Warcraft 7.2 Patch |

Tonight we record the show our March AggroChat Game Club game Tyranny. For those uninitiated to the game, it is a deeply story driven RPG in the proud PC tradition of Baldur’s Gate or more truthfully Planescape Torment. Six of us played the game… and six of us played a vastly different game experience. Tyranny after all was one of our games we talked about during the Games of the Year show, and for several of our cast they chose to do a second play-through for the show. Join us as we hash out our thoughts about this truly interesting game. |
