In this lively episode of DMG Gaming Podcast, hosts Grant Roland and Ed Phillips kick off with a heartfelt (and humorous) tribute to heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, who passed at 76 in this 2025 scenario. They share wild stories from his life, favorite Black Sabbath tracks like "War Pigs" and "Iron Man," and reflect on his legendary status.

Diving into gaming news, the duo discusses Splitgate 2's controversial "Make FPS Great Again" hat apology and its impact on player base, a new Critical Role Dungeons & Dragons game announcement, Supermassive Games' layoffs and Directive 8020 delay, and more industry shake-ups.

The Disgruntled Gamer Rant targets IGN's Top 25 PS5 Games of 2025 list for snubbing major 2025 hits like Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Death Stranding 2, calling it out for outdated picks.

Get an in-depth preview of upcoming Souls-like RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, set in Ming Dynasty China with dark fantasy elements, fluid combat, and multiple endings. The hosts predict an 85-87 Metacritic score and praise its vibrant world and attractive protagonist.

For fun, they rank the top 6 most heartbreaking video game deaths, including Aerith (Final Fantasy VII), Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption 2), Joel Miller (The Last of Us Part II), and more emotional moments.

Random Game Roulette spotlights the absurd indie hit Octodad: Dadliest Catch, with facts on its student origins, physics chaos, and cultural cameos. Finally, Winner of the Day goes to Switch 2 owners for Donkey Kong Bonanza, while Loser is GameSpot for their tone-deaf Ozzy tweet.
