October 15, 2025 Our AI Savior, Pokemon | The Grinding Gear Podcast #142
Will Pokemon save us from the Ai? Stormgate, you remember Stormgate right?
Tim Morten had a rather honest rundown of where he feels the post-Blizzard
design team went wrong and brings up the changing landscape of Venture
Capital. The episode can’t help but get real on the eve of Pokemon’s

October 06, 2025 7.3 Roundtable (FFXIV MSQ) | The Grinding Gear Podcast #141
The Round Table gathers. 7.3: The Promise of Tomorrow MSQ ends the
Dawntrail ark in traditional fashion. Garrett, Kyle and Jesse freshen
themselves up on the story happenings, having played it back in August.
Preach, recently caught up, shares a fresh viewer's perspective. Is Calyx
around for the long haul? What does that mean for the story and Sphene?
What lessons have the devs learned from Dawntrail and what will they carry
into the future. One thing is clear, FFXIV is a story first game and it’s
future rides on its ability to capture it’s fans once again. 7.3 seems a
solid start.

September 10, 2025 Restricted Podcast | The Grinding Gear Podcast #137
The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive
conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they’re views have dropped
by half in the month of August due to YouTube’s new features. Indie games
don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong’s release. We
got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps
walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic
plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more.
Supportourbromance.com if you're a player who likes change, but also for
everything to remain the same, with exciting changes on the horizon.

Expedition 33. Emails and More

August 18, 2025 Epic Universal Scalping Experience | The Grinding Gear Podcast #134
The merch cluster is under attack. Pokemon Worlds took place in Anaheim
this week and it was invaded by SCALPERS. While Garrett and Kyle attempt to
fathom this, Japanese McDonald’s was also forced to end their Pokemon Happy
