Hey Folks! Apologies for taking a few weeks off but Covid kicked Belghast’s butt and he is the person who records, edits, and posts the show.  This week we had a mountain of topics to get through and got nowhere close to hitting them all. Last Epoch has their very poorly named cycle reset going on, in which they added some pretty freaking cool new features like Loot Lizards, Stash Priority system, and the Imperial Undead event.  We talk a lot about the game and then dive into a whole discussion on seasonal models and what works and does not work for them.  We also tangent off into a discussion about the Clue movie from the 80s for some reason…  so look forward to that.  From there we talk a bit about Dwarven Realms as it gets closer to the full release of the game. Ash, Kodra, and Tam talk a bit about their experiences playing the ISS Vanguard living world physical board game.  Thalen kicks off a discussion about Astro Bot and how it is essentially the mascot game Sony has always needed.  Ash shares his experiences with Gundam Breaker 4 and Tam a bit about playing Hades 2 as a research project. Packed show with roughly half of the topics getting bumped to next week.

Topics Discussed:

• Last Epoch Cycle Reset

• Loot Lizards

• Stash Tab Priority System

• Imperial Undead Event

• Dwarven Realms

• ISS Vanguard

Hey Folks!  We are down a handful of folks but continue pushing forward.  We start off with talking about a world where Arcades did not die out…  aka Japan and what the 2020 Covid crisis did to them.  This leads to a discussion about playing DDR and similar rhythm games at home.  From there Bel talks about the upcoming update to Last Epoch where they are doing a mid cycle reset and some of the reasons why this is happening.  Ammo talks about her experiences returning to Guild Wars 2 and Bel shares his frustrations about how obtuse the achievement system is when it comes to trying to find the major unlocks and legendary crafts.  Bel also questions whether or not Twitch Drops work, to which Kodra refutes with his personal experience.  Lastly, we talk a bit about Visions of Mana the fifth official game in the Mana Series.

Topics Discussed:

• 2020 and Japanese Arcades

• Playing DDR At Home

• Guild Wars 2

• Ammo’s return to the game

• Obtuse System Unlocks

• Do Twitch Drops Work?

• Visions of Mana
