AggroChat #519 – Lord Orca

April 20, 2025 by Belghast

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! Happy Easter to all of our listeners, since this happens to be dropping on the actual holiday. We talk a bit this week about how we recorded last week on the eleventh anniversary of this show… without realizing it until far too late to discuss. We start off the show talking about the second season of Last Epoch and the Tombs of the Erased expansion. This expansion is largely focused on the endgame, and for the last year, they have apparently been cooking because it is amazing. After that, Thalen discusses his playthrough of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and how it reminds him of 7th Guest… but reasonable. We wrap up the show with some more discussion of Blue Prince, and that apparently no one has seemingly solved the game yet in the broader community.

Topics Discussed:

Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased
- This Season is amazing
- Endgame Changes
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
Blue Prince is Still Unsolved

March 23, 2025 by Belghast

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo

Hey Folks! We were out last week because Bel’s world was burning and all of the smoke was killing his lungs. This week we start off with a discussion about the Eleventh Hour Games and Grinding Gear Games situation as GGG pulls a Blizzard and ambushes the Last Epoch Season 2 launch. From there we talk about the chill tea shop gameplay of Wanderstop, telling us that sometimes it is a good idea to stop and relax for a bit. Tam and Kodra played through Wanderstop and talked about how it has evolved the already great co-op gameplay of It Takes Two with a much better story. Ash and Ammo talk about diving into Xenoblade Chronicles X as it just was re-released on Nintendo Switch. Bel talks a bit about Gunlocked which attempts to be the Vampire Survivors of Bullethell Shooters… and fails in interesting ways that will hopefully be addressed in the sequel. Bel also shares his initial thoughts from the Titans Quest II playtest, and Tam shares his thoughts about what he is seeing about Dune Awakening.

Topics Discussed:

The EHG/GGG Situation
- The ambush scheduling of Path of Exile II
- The reschedule of Last Epoch Season 2
Wanderstop
Split Fiction

AggroChat #509 – Surfing Witches

January 26, 2025 by Belghast

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We are down a Tam this week but start off the show talking a bit about our various mental states with the happenings going on out in the world. From there Grace talks about Rusty’s Retirement a delightful idle game that has a lot of the same functionality as Stardew Valley but runs in a small window at the bottom of your monitor. From there we talk about Diablo IV Season 7 and how it is quite possibly the best D4 season ever… that no one is really giving much fanfare. We talk a bit about how the streamers have seemingly abandoned the game. Kodra shares with us the process of resolving combat in the Battletech tabletop game from the 80s… giving Thalen and Bel flashbacks in a bad way. Finally, Ash has been playing Sonic Frontiers and talks about it actually being a really good open-world Sonic game.
