šŸŽ™ļø In Episode 110 of the DMG Gaming Podcast (August 4, 2025), Grant and Ed go deep on the phenomenon that is Stellar Blade. With over 1 million PC units sold in 72 hours, the hosts credit its success to Eve’s seductive design, tight gameplay, and Eastern market domination. They slam critics like Paul Tassi and PC Gamer for downplaying its merit as ā€œjust for Gooners.ā€

āš”ļø Next up: the Top 10 Video Game Rivalries of all time—highlighting timeless clashes like Mario vs. Bowser, Cloud vs. Sephiroth, and even Sega vs. Nintendo. The nostalgic ranking dives into character beefs that shaped generations of gamers.

šŸ—žļø In gaming news:

  • Bungie’s Marathon faces delays or possible cancellation due to bland FPS direction.
  • Nintendo bans MIG Switch users (dumping cartridges), raising privacy and piracy concerns.
  • Clair Obscure and Stellar Blade outselling Final Fantasy sparks debate on what modern gamers actually want.
  • James Gunn blames Warner Bros. for Henry Cavill’s Superman loss.
  • Mark Ruffalo’s protests draw contrast with Marvel’s past treatment of Gina Carano.

🤬 Disgruntled Gamer Rant: Ed and Grant torch PC Gamer’s 41% smut claim, defending Stellar Blade as more than fan service.

šŸ•¹ļø Random Game Roulette lands on Ninja Bread Man (Wii)—a buggy, laughable shovelware mess with recycled assets and broken platforming. They roast its infamous 1.5/10 IGN score.

šŸ’¬ New segment "Ask Ed" kicks off with fan Q&A, including deep lore dives into FF6’s Cyan and Chrono Trigger’s Magus.

šŸ”„ Another fire episode of rants, rivalries, and retro disasters.
