AggroChat: Tales of the Aggronaut Podcast

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   This week, we record one of our shortest shows because, quite honestly, we did not have a ton to talk about.  That said, I feel like there were a lot of fun discussions. We start off talking about Forza Horizon 6, as Tam has discovered how fun this series is.  After that, we talk a bit about Voidling Bound, a game that a lot...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks. We start off this week with a discussion about Life Below, which is an underwater building sim focused on coral reefs and maintaining them. From there, we talk a bit about another one of our patented 11 sads out of 10 games, where you try to keep the last cat in the universe alive. Spirit Crossing has launched on...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! We had quite the list of topics this time around.  We start off with a bit of a postmortem on Zero Parades and how that game really stuck the landing.  From there, Bel talks a bit about the upcoming final patch for Destiny and how it might have saved the game. Tam discusses his feelings so far about 007 First Light and how its...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We had a stacked show last night and had a bit of a rolling start as Thalen joined in a little late.  We start off with Tam talking about re-exploring Xenogears, and then Ace finding their groove in Dead as Disco.  Tam has a kid who is rapidly becoming a Pokémon fiend and, as a result, has been exploring the lates...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen   Good Morning, Folks! Last night we recorded what I think might be one of our better shows ever, because there were a lot of interesting discussions.  We start off talking about Eurovision and how it felt like it almost ended in a riot.  It's a bit dated, but we talk about some of the details that came out of the Dan Frazier plagiarism...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a few folks this night, which leads to a bit of a short show. It is, however, a show filled with some pretty good conversations. We start off with Bel talking a bit about Diablo IV Lord of Hatred expansion and how his opinion of the game has swung a bit from good to frustrated to really good again. An event currently...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We have almost too many topics, which is odd because normally this only happens when we skip a week. We start off with a discussion about Paradise Killer, the first game from the folks who created Promise Mascot Agency. From there, we talk a bit about the current round of Hugo Award Nominations since Thalen gets t...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! I did not realize this until pulling together the post this morning, but apparently, last Monday was the 12th anniversary of our podcast, and last Friday was the 17th anniversary of the Tales of the Aggronaut blog. We have, in fact, been doing this for a while, it seems. Tonight, we start off the show staring into the bla...

Featuring: Ace, Ashgar, Belghast, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We were out last week due to various scheduling issues, but led off the show with a bit of a message about Bel going through Chemo and maybe having scheduling issues every other week. From there, we talk a bit about the Artemis II mission and how wild it is to experience "Moon Joy", as we enter a new phase of space exploration.  A...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   We start off this week discussing a bit about Project Tahiti, which is a fairly professional emulator server that is helping to keep Marvel Heroes Omega alive.  We've talked a bit in the past about missing this game, but it now functions again and is really easy to get up and running, especially if you ever played it on Stea...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week, we start off with a discussion about Dragonkin, a new ARPG that launched this past week, and how it has improved since early access. Last Epoch has a new season dropping this coming week, and we talk a bit about the patch notes and all of the major changes that are coming to various classes and abilitie...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week we started off with some discussion about ITER-8 a Tower Defense game that has be bit of a different spin.  From there, Tam talks about The August Before and how it is essentially the reverse of Packing.  We reprise our Pokopia topic from last week and talk about how Tam's kid is probably in for a sad re...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down an Ash this week, but we start off talking about the Path of Exile League launch. Bel and Ace have different opinions of the league mechanic than Kodra, so we talk a bit about that.  We also talk about the new holy strike and how it is so much better than glacial hammer.  From there, Ace and Kodra talk about E...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We started out down an Ace and a Kodra, but picked up a Kodra as we went.  Ash informs us that Nextfest is happening, and a few of us realized it.  We talk a bit about the various games that have demos right now, or at least will for the first day after this show releases.  From there, Tam shares his thoughts about Und...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week, we talk about Dune Awakening and how many updates have been made since we last gave it a spin.  Shortly after last week's episode, Tam fired up the private server again, and we have been enjoying the changes. From there, we talk a bit about Enshrouded and Ace and Bel exploring the Hollow Halls, which is...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We have the entire crew this week but have a bit of a rolling start without Tam, as he was finishing something up in Star Citizen.  We begin the show with some talk about Relooted a game about recovering antiquities and returning them to their rightful homes.  After that, we discuss Destiny Rising and how it appea...

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a few people this week as we start up our show.  Bel is in the process of trying to reboot "Bel Folks Stuff" and realized that he recorded an episode with Tam that never got released.  We talk about this weird pre-pandemic time capsule.  We discuss building a table for Infinity and how it is a game that wants somethi...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen   Good Morning Folks! We are down a Tam this week and had some topics that were sitting on our list for a bit.  We start off talking about the official end of Anthem and the Mark Darrah video that effectively provides an autopsy for the game.  Loosely related, we talk about the impending death of New World in January 2027.  This forces...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are back in full force and continuing our adventure through the second part of the Games of the Year 2025 podcast.  We cut the list in half, giving us fifteen games that we were talking about in each episode.  This is not necessarily a numerical list, but the titles that appear later in the shows did get more v...

Featuring: Ace, AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Good Morning Folks! We are running things a bit differently this year. Due to unforeseen reasons, Thalen could not join us this week. As such, we paused our games of the year show to record a brief intermission show.  This week, we talked about Star Citizen, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Hytale, OrcaCon, Starfinder, Void Miner, the Amazing W...

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! It is that time again, time to roll over into a new season, and time to record our massive two-part games of the year show.  As we roll into Season 13, we have a minor revision to our lineup and two shows stacked with fifteen games each.  As is our tradition, the list was divided into two parts, and the more votes...

Featuring: Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! It is that weird time between holidays, and we are down about half of our folks for various reasons.  We push forward and record a pretty focused show around a few topics.  We start off discussing Q-Up, a game that effectively has a lot of things to say about League of Legends, and also discuss other games like Rabbit and Steel that are...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Tam and a Grace this week but push through with a limited crew.  Bel gets called out by Kodra for being entirely too comfortable with excessive grinds…  this time specifically talking about World Completion in Guild Wars 2.  Kirby Air Riders is a weird game and we talk a bout it.  Bel shares his extended thoughts a...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! We are down a Thalen this week but continue chipping away at our massive backlog of discussion topics after taking two weeks off due to holiday and illness.  We start off with some talk about Dwarven Realms Season 5 and how it allows you to get all the loot without gating your access.  From there, we talk about Star Cit...

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! Bel was partially dead, and then holiday travel happened, and as a result, we ended up taking a few weeks off without really intending to. We are back and hopefully for more than a few weeks, but given another holiday is looming, who knows. This week we talk about how all of the various ARPGs out there seem to have a cont...
