The One with Husky by the Geek | The Grinding Gear Podcast #92

As we look forward to 7.1, we also look back at the MSQ that was Dawntrail with our friends Preach, Okaymage, and Jesse Cox.

Can it be? 100 episodes of Grinding Gear! Has experienced 100th episodes makers we know whats best for this kind of event, a normal show.  There are some big topics around the gaming space this week. MTG art, after a track record, is under fire for using Ai art. A Final Fantasy 14 article on PC gamer is pointing out the Midcore problems with end game. Dragon Age: Veilguard Approaches and hopes begin to rise. All this and a little Dawntrail spoiler mailbag question at the very end. 

When last we left out intrepid Florida boys, they were hunkering down for Hurricane Milton on its way to Florida. We have come out the otherside safe but with many stories to tell. Two hosts, two different paths. Video games? We’ll get to em next time.

On the eve of Hurricane Milton, we are boarded up and locked in. Florida is bringing out all the stops for Kyle’s first season and Garrett is an experienced storm rider. Even with weather on the horizon, it has been a while since we’ve had an event-free-guest-free episode. Garrett has been getting into Spooky Season and continuing Star Wars Outlaws. Kyle saw (most of) Transformers One and finished Astro Bot. Thank you all for the well wishes and we look forward to podcasting with you on the other side.

We just had our first IRL GG Meet in Orlando, Florida! The podcast this week is the full live show we put on in front of a live crowd. Thanks again to everyone who came out to the show and all of you supporting us through Patreon and YouTube memberships. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to put on events like these.

It's a big week here at Grinding Gear! Our first non-conference meetup is this weekend! YouTube metrics are wild. Spooky season begins. And much more!

Endy is back! Space Marine 2 is out! And MMOs are cooking!

Final Fantasy 1 has been completed. Discuss.

Okaymage makes her triumphant return to give us the inside scoop on World of Warcrafts newest expansion, The War Within. The perfect guest does indeed exist. Okaymage started playing WoW in Legion, well after the rose-tinted glasses of us olds. Jordan got deep into Mythic plus and raid content before taking their first break at the end of Shadowlands/Early Dragonflight for Final Fantasy 14. Let's see, so far, how things look on the other side. 

We are joined by Huskybythegeek, the video game guitar cover youtube artist, best known for the insanely huge FFXIV medley projects. In this musically focused gaming episode, we break down Husky’s staggering workflow to bring together 200 musicians as well as his history with gaming. For Garrett, there are Punk Rock conversations and Kyle is reminded what a “wooden” guitar is called.
