Gaming is just an excuse to socialise, so that is why Live Gaming Gathering (LGG) podcast exists. Two grumpy men. Lanky got COVID, and that screwed up all the plans he had for MCM Comic Con video, while debating with himself if he wants to quit Youtube. Ray is equally tired and this is probably the most grumpiest episode to date.

There was a thread on Twitter by Call of Duty content creator "Expel", as he was giving his input on why Call of Duty is not doing well these days. A lot of developers from around the world were making fun of him for many reasons, while only a handful of developers engaged in the conversation. This is a landmine topic, and we're approaching this from the most neutral point of view.➤ Featuring: Tom Belous and Ray Edmunds.➤ Recorded on 17th April, 2023

"Everything that we say, critical and everything like that, we do it with love. We don't want to jeopardize the trust of the friends we made through out the years playing these games, and interacting with people that worked on them. A lot of great things came from that and we don't want people to think that we're taking that for granted, by saying what we heard over the last years. We love these games, we play these games and we're very critical in some areas, because we're passionate about them, as we see the potential in them. With every negative detail, we see that there's a lot of love put in to these games" - Rey Edmunds on Live Gaming Gathering, Episode 16.

As Playstation 5 specs were revealed, it was a perfect opportunity to discuss what that means for the future of console market. Will consoles still remain the main platforms for games? How Sony's Playstation 5 compares to Microsoft's Xbox Series X? Does it even matter in the long-run, if hardware is not the main driving force when it comes to selling consoles? What kind of impact console exclusives will have?

Lanky wanted to talk about grinding in modern video games, so he brought up this idea for the podcast. Every game has a Battle Pass, where everything is time gated, and you have to grind for the content you wish for. Is it good or bad? Is it better than Season Passes? How much grinding you're willing to accept for the game to be enjoyable?
