Is there something wrong with the way games are being promoted and pushed? We discuss all this and much more in a week of video game news on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio

Gamescom is this upcoming week and good news, it's confirmed we are going to see some NEW GAMES. Okay, that probably should have been obvious especially in a year when E3 is officially a relic of the past, but it will be interesting to see how GamesCom shakes up the usual summer game announcement calendar. Also in the news, Steam (whose owner Valve is testing one of the worst kept secrets in gaming right now) announced some policy updates that could change the way reviews and game descriptions work. Does anyone really read the comments anyway? All this and much more make up another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We wish we had better news as we come back from an unexpected sick week off, but the industry continues to downsize, with news of a long running gaming magazine in the US ceasing production suddenly. The horrible language of internal communications has been exposed by the larger gaming media, leaving many of us to again question the competence of so many executives in this industry. The topic comes up yet again- are we headed towards another Video Game Crash? Or are we in one. We discuss this and much more, including SOME positives, like DarkSakura's trip to California Extreme on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

All this, our gaming weeks, and much more round out another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We take some time at the top of the show to remember a friend that left us far too soon. Unfortunately we weren't the only ones to lose a friend close to us, as the accessibility community lost an important advocate as well. A friend calls into OLR to share memories of the impact had, to further the idea and mission that gaming is for everyone. Although we have some difficult moments at the top of the show, we get into the week's worth of news too, which includes recapping headlines from last week in a game of word association. Our family discussions and our whimsy games are just another part of what makes the Orange Lounge Radio experience unique. Come take a listen on what's powered our long running video game podcast for 22 years and counting!
