    FF14 Special - 7.4 Roundtable | The Grinding Gear Podcast #152

    Jesse and Preach return to the Podcast to discuss the MSQ that was and the surrounding state of MMOs. Final Fantasy XIV has delivered a tight patch and a glimpse at where the story is heading. We question what will be important later, who are the Winterers, the Squirrel Suit, what was Yoshi P hinting at and much much more. Fan Fest will be here before we know it and the Roundtable shall return. Supportourbromance.com or Alphinaud will just stand there in 8.0.

    The Grindys 2025 | The Grinding Gear Podcast #149

    The Grindys, The Golden Gears, Return! The Best of 2025. What a year it has been. GG has survived several YouTube-polyspes and played many games. Some retro, but more modern than our normal affair. This is the final official podcast record for the year 2025 and we have our own LEGALLY DISTINCT accolades to hand out. An insane year for video games comes to a close. Who will win “Best I Think It’s an Indie game” and who will walk away with Brightest Dumpster Fire. Our plans are big for 2026, we’ll see you then. Supportourbromance.com for a big new year of GG in 2026! That’s no joke.

We are also on the eve of a fresh new Final Fantasy XIV MSQ Patch. We all played Dispatch too. Supportourbromance.com and you too can get that WB face.

    The Slop Olympics | The Grinding Gear Podcast #146

    We touched the grass, ate the turkey and watched the sports ball. Video game discord trudged on. With these perspectives, we return to ai up to its old bull. Banana Fish has been released on Amazon Prime Video with a horrid case of the Computer voice for the english dub. Where Winds Meet’s ai chat bots are being tricked into completing quests early. In other news, Team Cherry wants to make new things, Jeff Keighley has found a terrible portal and Kyle’s voice is going out!
