Now onto the episode! In gaming news this week we discuss the Microsoft and Blizzard Activision merger and what this means for the future of gaming as well who wins and loses in the biggest acquisition of all time (capitalism I guess…)

Next in ‘Should I Sweat This?’ We have two extremely spicy stories including a girlfriend struggling with the ick after her boyfriend cosplays a kid anime character at a convention and an admittedly not great boyfriend with a kinda sketchy girlfriend? I don’t think anyone is innocent in that one!

Finally in ‘Inside Gaming’ Miranda sits down with Hans Vancol, the COO of Grab Games and his brother Harold Vancol the VP of Creative at Grab Games to discuss the future of VR and AR in gaming, what you need to succeed in the industry and of course, their favorite games!

Hello cutie pies and welcome back to the Blood, Sweat & Games pod! We are back with another banger episode for you and it’s hotter than Miranda's air conditioner-free apartment in summer!

This week in gaming news we discuss the arrival of agent Deadlock in Valorant and the discussion on Kick versus Twitch rages on after we notice some hate towards Pokimane on our socials. We delve into the real issues behind the platform after Pokimane famously refuses to engage with the controversial streaming service. The question remains - is Kick a streaming platform that supports and monetizes gambling, hate speech and problematic streamers or is it simply a streaming service with very few community guidelines that support small streamers and provides a fairer commission split?

In ‘Should I Sweat This?’ we have yet another raging gamer boyfriend and in a storytime special we hear about war vets and a gamer that gamed so hard the cops were called on them?!

In an ‘Inside Gaming’ special we continue to abuse Morgan's connections with another brilliant interview with the epic Jacqueline Chang, the ‘Associate Product Category Manager’ at Riot Games. Jackie discusses her career, being a badass woman in the gaming industry and what makes Riot Games unique!

So put on your best outfit and pour yourself a shot because the Blood, Sweat and Games pod is here with another episode and we have a table just for us! (Bottle service guys, this is a clubbing analogy….) Love you, now SAY IT BACK!!!! XXXXX

Hello and welcome to The Blood, Sweat & Games podcast with your two fave gamer girlies. We are back with another epic episode for you so get ready!

This week in gaming news we start off strong, discussing the battle royale (if you will) between Twitch and it’s new nemesis Kick, especially after the news of big time Streamer xQc signing a two year non-exclusive contract for $100 million dollars. That’s right, a casual ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS… (faints).

Next in everyone's favorite segment ‘Should I Sweat This?’ things get juicy as we discuss a love affair between a huge streamer and a moderator AND a possibly (definitely) sexist male co-worker and a professional woman in gaming just trying to thrive!!! 

(For the record when Miranda suggested she key his car that was totally, for sure, definitely, a joke… Right guys?!... Hehehehe …………….)

Next in ‘Inside Gaming’ Morgan spills the tea on becoming a corporate baddie and becoming a videogame designer. Can you even imagine how sick that job would be? Well Morgan has got you covered!

So settle in, get out your notepad (or laptop.. What is this 2005?) and take some notes, because your gaming girlie pops are here with another epic episode of BSG Pod and we’re bringing the news, tea and career advice!

Love you, mean it!

Hi friends and welcome back to the show! Wanna chat about everything gaming? Okay, bet! 

This week we have a super interesting episode for you. After a brief discussion on Miranda raging in voice memos to Morgan (aka Miranda needs to chill) we get to the good stuff chatting about some hot topics in gaming and tech. We start off with the epic role generative AI is already playing in gaming after a new study from Stanford revealed generative agents were simulating authentic human behavior. Wait, is this an episode of Westworld or real life?

We then discuss the wildly complicated moral debate AI brings and we also hear about a study that shows the higher rates of cognition in older adults that play video games (I mean, duh).

In ‘Should I Sweat This?’ things get juicy as heck with a group of girl gamers trying to save their friend from her toxic ass and controlling boyfriend and a cheating scandal involving a college League of Legends group. Yep.. the tea is hot!

In ‘Inside Gaming’ Morgan speaks to the fascinating and extremely intelligent Lea Hughes about her insane career that includes being a therapist, a professional cos-player and now the Senior Insights Lead at Riot Games… like okay girl, we get it. You are good at everything!

So wrap yourself in a blankey, get yourself a chocolate milk (Baileys allowed) and take a load off because Blood, Sweat and Games pod is here with another episode and it’s a good one!

Hi cuties and welcome back to the Blood, Sweat & Games pod. It’s so good to see you here. This episode is an absolute banger and we’re so glad to have you! 

This week we start off strong with Miranda’s admission of her accidental Valorant social media faux pas which lets be honest is based entirely on her inability to keep her mouth shut.

Next in ‘Gaming News’ we discuss the success of ‘Super Mario Bros’ in the box office and the rise of video games being adapted into films and TV shows and what this means for some pretty massive IP.  

In our ‘Should I Sweat This?’ segment things get even more enthralling with a girlfriend who simply can not stand her overly zealous gamer boyfriend, an embarrassed Twitch streamer struggling with low views and the age-old question. Will my ASMR channel affect my future career in law? Been there babe, I mean who hasn’t????

Next in our ‘Inside Gaming’ segment we have none other than Selin Cuhadaroglu, the voice actor for Valorants iconic FADE. Selin discusses her blossoming career in acting and voice acting, how she booked her role in Valorant and finding her way in the new world of gaming!

So slip into something a little more comfortable, get your favorite snack and take a load off because Blood, Sweat and Games pod is here with another episode and we got things to discuss. Love you, mean it!

Wow. Okay so I’m just gonna start off right away by letting you know that Morgan has decided she needs a hobby outside of gaming and made the hugely unexpected announcement that she’s joining the LA Beekeepers Association. Let that sink in. 

Like I’m not saying she’s having a nervous breakdown- but I’m also not not saying that… you feel me? 

This week we have a pretty epic episode for y’all. After recovering from Morgan's extremely unexpected and shocking announcement (the bees will hate this announcement but the bees don’t run this city- we do) we had a very interesting discussion on Disguised Toast, his all-women Esports squad and the failing Esport economy. 

Next in ‘Should I Sweat This?’ things as always got wild and juicy with an abusive big-time streamer mistreating their mods, another anime cosplay (we can not get enough!), and a very jealous girlfriend patrolling her boyfriend's streams. 

In ‘Inside Gaming’ we interviewed the iconic Victoria Cana, a Forbes 30 Under 30 game developer on her epic career and finding the soul in game creation. Also unrelated, but she’s really pretty so I guess God does have favorites? 

So settle in, put on some comfy socks and lower the lights because episode 7 is Blood, Sweat & Games pod is here and things are getting cozy!
