In Episode 95 of the DMG Gaming Podcast, Grant Roland and Ed Phillips go full throttle, opening with a no-views rant as they vent frustrations with the YouTube algorithm. The gaming chaos kicks off with a discussion on Marathon’s trailer, drawing comparisons to Concord’s recent flop. The hosts predict a PVP disaster on the horizon if Bungie doesn’t innovate beyond Destiny fatigue.

Next up: Last of Us Season 2 predictions. Will Joel die as he did in the game? Can Ellie’s actress carry the show post-loss? The duo isn't confident—especially with Caitlyn Dever’s Abby stepping into the spotlight. They worry it could follow The Walking Dead’s slow decline.

Then, the IGN = CNN rant hits hard. Grant and Ed slam IGN for softball journalism and corporate bias, comparing it to mainstream media echo chambers. They champion independent analysis and real criticism over media spin.

Gaming news covers the Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster, Assassin’s Creed Shadows sales leak, and Ubisoft’s internal chaos. Meanwhile, the Disgruntled Gamer Rant goes nuclear on China’s economic manipulation, calling out propaganda and celebrating US chip bans and manufacturing wins.

The episode goes wild with a Top 10 list of animals they’d bring back from extinction, from saber-tooth tigers to megalodons—with debates on T-Rex ownership and mammoth burgers.

Finally, Random Game Roulette lands on the cult flop Drake of the 99 Dragons, a 2003 mess of undead plotlines, glitchy gunplay, and a 22/100 Metacritic rating. It’s hilariously bad—and perfect roast material.
