Hey Folks! We have the full crew this week, and Kodra and Thalen have made their way into Dune Awakening, so we talk a bit more about that game. Bel asks what the dumbest thing we have done in a video game to make currency. Ash is back in Guild Wars 2 and attempting to catch up on the story. Kodra and Tam share their thoughts about the Microsoft PuzzleHunt event and contrast it with the MIT Mystery Hunt. Bel shares his early experiences with the Mercenaries of Trarthus as the Secrets of the Atlas expansion kicks off in Path of Exile. Grace talks a bit about Be My Horde as it lets you play a Necromancer, raising an army in a Vampire-Survivors-like game. Finally, we talk a bit about Deltarune actually getting a proper release and Toby Fox accepting money for the game.   Topics Discussed: Kodra and Thalen Join Dune Dumb Things for Money Guild Wars 2 Catch Up Microsoft PuzzleHunt Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas Fun With Mercenaries Be My Horde Deltarune Purchasable

Kan Elder Scrolls Online stadig holde sig relevant i 2025?Elder Scrolls Online, eller ESO, blev oprindeligt udgivet i 2014 og har nu holdt sig i live i over 10 år med konstante opdateringer, nye zoner, dungeons og raids. Det er i sig selv en præstation, når man tænker på hvor hurtigt MMO-titler som Wildstar, Anthem og New World er bukket under. At sige at ESO har klaret sig godt ville være en underdrivelse.Selvom Elder Scrolls Online er en del af det ikoniske Elder Scrolls univers, hvor Skyrim stadig står som kronjuvelen, har ESO valgt sin egen vej. Både når det gælder combat, progression og world building.Men det store spørgsmål er jo om det stadig føles som Elder Scrolls, eller om det er blevet endnu en MMO-maskine fyldt med daglige logins, craftingsystemer og loot loops, som vi har set tusindvis af gange før. I denne episode deltager Nicolai Fog, Anders Isaksen og Daniel Møgelhøj.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

Welcome back to the Dreamcasting Gaming Podcast with Raphael, Carl, and Sean. In this episode, we dive into the highly anticipated release of the survival MMO, Dune Awakening, discussing its unique mechanics, immersive environment, and how it stacks up against other survival games. We also explore the latest updates and news surrounding GTA 6, delving into the intricacies revealed in the second trailer and sharing our thoughts on Rockstar's approach to storytelling. In a heated discussion, we tackle the controversial topic of game design patents, with a spotlight on Nintendo's recent legal moves against Pal World for mimicking Pokémon's capture mechanics. We examine the implications of game patents on creativity and competition within the gaming industry, using examples like Batman's Arkham series and Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system. Tune in as we navigate through these exciting developments and more, offering our insights and opinions on the ever-evolving landscape of gaming.

LA is burning again, but this time it's due to ICE. We cover the "grassroots" movement and the upcoming No Kings protests scheduled for this weekend. Coincidentally, there is a counter protest at yeskings.org. A couple of updates on the situation in Ukraine with some insider drone knowledge. Greta found her floatilla stunt cut short by the IDF. Israel and Iran want to destroy one another, but not on the Orange man's watch. RFK is the new Dr. Mengele according to a Facebook Tier Boomer take. Mark Rutte thinks Russia could eliminate Europe in the next 5 years. Turns out giving your kids phones is bad for their brains, perhaps consider a table saw instead?

Not-E3 has concluded. A mad dash through trailers. A dizzying assault of the senses. What stood out? What got lost? Well first, Garrett got a Switch, and we sat down and played a big chunk of Mario Kart World. Sony State of Play, Summer Game Fest and Xbox showcase all tackled in order. Our list might not match yours, but we all walked away with the same conclusions. That's a lot of games! 

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Grace this week, but still end up filling up more than our normal slot full of nonsense.  There is a big sale going on right now for Guild Wars 2, and if you have ever thought about checking it out, now is the time. The Nintendo Switch 2 was released, and we are all pretty happy with it so far, and was at least a MASSIVE upgrade over the OG launch Switch. We talk a bit about the Summer Games Fest… which we only found out this week was not plural… thanks to LRR.  Tam and Bel have been playing the Dune headstart, and it is a wild gaming experience. Tam talks a short bit about TMNT Splintered Fate and Bel gives a heads up that Path of Exile 3.26 is coming next week.   Topics Discussed: Big Guild Wars 2 Sale Nintendo Switch 2 Summer Game(s) Fest Dune: Awakening Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Path of Exile 3.26 Next Week

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#195: Should You Choose To Accept.... Frankenstein Audio Version *Note Episode Recorded 5-31-25* In this episode of "The Fork In Your Ear," Tim and Nate dive deep into the world of gaming, kicking off with a humorous discussion about technical glitches and browser compatibility before moving onto their personal top 10 most-played games. Tim shares his meticulously tracked list, revealing surprising entries like Final Fantasy XV (a divisive choice he ardently defends, particularly praising its infamous secret dungeon) and Metal Gear Solid V (highlighting its open-world gameplay). He also breaks down his gaming hours across PvE, PvPvE, and PvP genres, revealing a significant lean towards PvE, despite his "Halo guy" persona. Nate, on the other hand, anticipates Destiny 1 as his likely top contender. The hosts lament the lack of comprehensive historical data from older consoles, particularly for classic titles like Halo and StarCraft. The conversation then shifts to recent video game news: Apple Arcade's First Studio Acquisition: Apple Arcade has acquired the two-person team behind Sneaky Sasquatch, marking their first game studio purchase. Tim expresses skepticism about Apple's claim that this isn't the start of a trend, speculating on a potential rebranding or platform launcher for Apple Arcade. Fortnite Returns to iOS: Fortnite is back on Apple devices, with impressive performance and optimization for older iPhones. The hosts praise Epic Games' granular installation options, which allow players to selectively download game components and even other players' skins. Randy Pitchford's $80 Game Comment: Gearbox Studios CEO Randy Pitchford's controversial remarks about game pricing ignite debate. While acknowledging the tone-deafness, Tim and Nate discuss the context of his statements and the evolving pricing models in the gaming industry, with Nate offering his ideal pricing structure for different game types (standalone, with monetization, MMO, PvP). Anti-Cheat in PvP Games: The hosts delve into the persistent problem of cheating in PvP games. As a Rainbow Six Siege player, Tim commends Ubisoft's innovative "Mouse Trap" and "Shield Guard" anti-cheat systems, which actively penalize cheaters with increasingly severe input lag and segregated matchmaking. Nate expresses his desire for other developers to adopt similar robust anti-cheat measures. Palworld's Legal Setback: Palworld lost a US lawsuit against Nintendo regarding specific gameplay mechanics. While the "ball-throwing" mechanic was deemed too similar to Pokémon, the ruling against "gliding with an animal" baffled the hosts, who pointed out its prevalence in other games. They ponder the implications of such legal battles for smaller studios against industry giants.

We bring it back stateside and discuss the new Free Palestine strat: light other people on fire, and not yourself, the politics of Tariffs and the AI hype. All that and much more.

Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!The long-standing divide between PvP and PvE content in World of Warcraft creates a troubling imbalance that leaves competitive players feeling overlooked and undervalued. This midweek episode dives deep into the systemic problems facing WoW's PvP scene, particularly the outdated rating system that paradoxically punishes players as they improve. With significantly reduced MMR injection compared to previous years, even skilled veterans watch their ratings plummet despite playing better than ever.What makes this situation particularly frustrating is watching other competitive formats like Solo Shuffle receive proper attention while arena players are left behind. The stark contrast becomes even more apparent when you consider content creation – PvE enthusiasts enjoy new raids with every major patch, while PvP players might receive one or two arena maps across an entire expansion cycle. This systematic neglect demands greater community awareness and developer communication.The episode also explores fascinating player suggestions, including the possibility of unlocking Challenge Mode rewards from Mists of Pandaria Classic in retail WoW. Items like the stunning Cloudsong Glaive remain some of the most sought-after transmogs in the game's history, and creating a path to earn them through challenging Classic content could bridge the gap between WoW's past and present. We also dissect the flawed concept of a hypothetical "WoW 2" and why abandoning two decades of continuous development makes little sense for an evolving MMO. Whether you're a dedicated PvPer feeling forgotten or simply interested in the game's development philosophy, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on where World of Warcraft has been and where it should go next. Hope you all enjoy and hope you relate to any of these stories.

We've got a big channel update video out over on the Grinding Gear YouTube channel right now. Go give it a watch to see our new studio setup and hear what's in store for what might be the next ten+ years of our lives. Nightreign is dominating our minds and while it's not perfect, that's also what's great about it. We have ideas, the internet has ideas, lets see if this games got legs after selling 2 million copies. It's Switch 2 release week and there is an odd quite in the air. There is a new D&D game coming from the makes of Star Wars Jedi. All this, teases and more. Go watch the video!

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! We are down a Thalen this week, but that is mostly because he was up visiting Bel Town, so Bel talks a bit about that.  Kodra discusses how playing a lot of Blue Prince has ruined his brain for every other game… especially Cyberpunk 2077. It is Path of Exile 3.26 Spoiler Season, and Bel talks about some of the quality of life changes coming.  Tam shares his experiences with Skin Deep and why it may not be the “sandbox stealth” game that it is purported to be. Kodra and Tam talk about their experiences playing Lorelei and the Laser Eyes “Co-Op” without official support for that. The early looter shooter Defiance makes a return, and Bel talks about that, and then Tam shares the realization that given enough time, you massively improve almost anything that you try… in his case, painting miniatures.   Topics Discussed: Blue Prince Rewires Brain Path of Exile 3.26 Spoiler Season Skin Deep Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 Lorelei and the Laser Eyes “Co-Op” Defiance Returns Painting Realization

Good games are good. And we've played some GOOD games. We didn't know we needed to play Blue Prince but we love it, and must play more. Monster Train 2 is more of the same, which is a very good thing. Final Fantasy XIV unleashed is Field Operation patch and its a solid compliment to the game, though many say they aren't returning to play it. Elden Ring Nightreign approaches. And more! Supportourbromance.com and your VAC ducts will align. 

High probability of WWIII inbound! I believe that's the 25th time in about 2 years. Trump and Putin are beefing, and the shell of the person that was once Alex Jones is freaking out.

ESB is supporting Ireland's offshore wind ambitions by rolling out its third consecutive bespoke Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) training programme. MMOs are specialist environmental consultants responsible for monitoring marine megafauna such as whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and basking sharks, during industry operations. They assist developers comply with environmental regulations and guidelines, while the data collected by MMOs aids in evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The aim of the programme is to support the development of marine ecology education and skills, helping successful applicants at the early stages of their careers in the marine environmental profession. It is open to graduates, final-year undergraduates and postgraduate students who are studying or working in marine science or related disciplines. Since its inception in 2023, 11 participants have successfully completed the programme. Speaking about the success of the programme to date, Niru Dorrian, Senior Offshore Ecology Coordinator at ESB, said: "Offshore wind will play a crucial role in helping Ireland achieve its climate targets, and we need to invest in people now to ensure we have the right skills and expertise for all elements of our projects. As leaders in the transition to clean energy, it is important for developers like ESB to support the marine industry, and in particular, future MMOs. Collaboration is key to a net-zero energy future, and we are grateful to the academic and industry organisations supporting our programme." The programme is endorsed by The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the Marine Mammal Observer Association (MMOA). The training comprises a mix of both classroom and field training over the course of three months which includes an offshore survival course at the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) in Cork. Thomas Power, a 2023 programme participant, says the initiative has helped his career: "The ESB MMO training programme was the perfect first step to a career in marine mammal and environmental mitigation. It opens the door in what can sometimes be a difficult career to start out in. The initial training and certifications required for MMO work are costly, and the ESB funding allowed me to commit fully without the financial worry often attached. I would absolutely recommend this programme to anyone thinking of a career in marine mammal mitigation, and if awarded to fully utilise the amazing opportunity this programme offers." Interested applicants should contact mmotraining@esb.ie for more information.

Timestamps & Topics Time Topic 00:00 Intro & episode roadmap 00:00:30 Richard Sparks teaser – New Rock, New Role 00:02:37 Capital Creative Showcase + listener feedback 00:03:41 Ironheart trailer analysis (Riri Williams, The Hood, Mephisto) 00:08:25 Tech vs. mysticism in Ironheart 00:10:00 Superman trailer deep-dive (Lois interview, DCU world-building) 00:17:21 Andor Season-2 spoiler review begins 00:25:40 Cassian meets K-2SO – humor & stakes 00:26:44 Trauma, sacrifice, and everyday rebels 00:29:24 Final ratings: Andor gets a 9/10 00:31:02 News flash: Jessica Jones, Punisher, Ralph Fiennes in Hunger Games 00:35:12 Avatar: The Last Airbender movie delay 00:38:48 Netflix's Gears of War movie & tone worries 00:42:43 Thor 5 rumor—Chris Hemsworth wants a darker tone 00:44:47 AI Darth Vader glitch in Fortnite — ethics & chaos 00:50:01 Feature interview: Author Richard Sparks 01:25:44 Around-the-network updates & Jonathan's watch-list 01:30:30 Weekly recommendations & sign-off   Key Takeaways Andor sets a new Star Wars benchmark with mature politics, everyday-hero focus, and a finale that bridges perfectly into Rogue One. Ironheart promises a scrappy, community-driven story that contrasts Tony Stark's privilege with Riri Williams' Chicago roots. The new Superman trailer revives the Christopher Reeve optimism while dropping viewers into a fully populated DCU. AI voice clones (like Fortnite's Darth Vader) are hype-worthy but need tighter safeguards before brands unleash them. Richard Sparks' New Rock series mixes MMO mechanics, 80s fantasy, and laugh-out-loud camaraderie—perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Willow. Memorable Quotes “Andor proves real rebellion relies on janitors jamming door locks, not just Jedi with lightsabers.” – Frank “Riri Williams is Iron Man if Tony grew up on the South Side and had to build a Mark I from junkyard scraps.” – Frank “AI Vader sounded amazing…until the Internet taught him four-letter words.” – Jonathan Call to Action Love the show?

India is looking to break Ghandi's heart over Pakistan, while Iran had a suprise boom, maybe it's incompetence or maybe its the guys who secretly plant bombs in pagers. Russia and Ukraine decide to take a break from killing each other, find out why its actually bad and hear famed F the EU Vicky Nuland's hot take. Jexico is pissed at Ecuador and a serial killer could be on the loose in New England. Anyone seen Cottongin lately?   Art Woof does it again highlighting the Navy dropped more than ball.

Synchronous systems feature inherent inertia which limits the probability of oscillations in current, voltage, and frequency. Converter-based systems rely on synthetic or virtual inertia. This is achieved through software and algorithms. On the other hand, inherent inertia is achieved by the physical, rotating mass of the machinery involved in synchronous power generation.

We are down a Tam this week and went into this with no topics on the docket…  and still managed to pull together a full-length episode.  We talk a bit about our experiences attempting to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2, and what a massive cluster that was. From there, we talk a bit about the worst-kept gaming secret, the Oblivion remaster, and how magical this product is.  Magic: The Gathering has seemingly lost its mind, and we talk a bit about the Omenpaths thing and how poorly ideated it is.  Finally, Last Epoch is still a heck of a lot of fun, and we talk about some of the experiences, especially around playing with other folks.   Topics Discussed: Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order Mayhem Oblivion Remaster Magic the Omenpaths Nonsense Last Epoch is Still Great

The Roundtable assembles once more. All elustrious members have returned: Jesse Cox, Okaymage and Preachgaming. The cloud has lifted and celebrations ring out over the internet as MSQ returns. But who is the real bad of this expansion? Is it the new Calyx or is there a more sinister face in plain view? Will baby king say "I'm in"? Will the crew agree on Arcadion shipping? That last one wont happen, but the rest will!

Switch 2 is switching it up, with more expensive games? The line-up is unconvincing, but has some mysterious gems. Our WoW Hardcore adventure is underway with Jocat, Squidsena and Girl_DM. Lots of details on our dangerous adventures. FF14 got hard. We've said that before but the expansion keeps getting harder. All this and more.
