Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom kicked off this last weekend, and many gamers are diving right into the game, and enjoying their experiences. The game holds one of the highest critic aggregate scores of all time. However, that doesn't prevent some from having a more tepid, perceived as some as negative, take on the game. Is this just click bait, or are there reasons some might not be as impressed with the game? We dive into the reactions of our listeners and live participating chatters to get first impressions on this first mega title of the summer. All this, our gaming weeks, and much more round out another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

It's a big week for gamers with the much anticipated release of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the horizon. However, early copies of the game have leaked leading to some piracy of the game, and people bold enough to stream and even tweet about their gameplay. We discuss why people would want to do this, and look at another story about Nintendo taking action against GitHub, for Switch key extracting code posted on their website. Is it fair that Nintendo shuts this kind of project down? We discuss this, our gaming weeks, and MUCH more in gaming on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The latest DLC for Horizon: Forbidden West gets review bombed on Metacritic for a ridiculous reason that sadly feels all too familiar. This brings up a discussion though on how important review scores actually are. Does anyone actually care what the comments section thinks in the Metacritic User Review Score? Why do these sorts of scores seem to hold so much weight? We dive into this topic, and much more in gaming on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Nintendo has announced a live event to take place in Seattle in September, but the big mystery is what might they be wanting to show people. Is this the Western arrival of SpaceWorld? Or is there something else Nintendo hopes to accomplish with this event? Would this be something gamers would be interested in attending, possibly travling across the country for, or will it be more like the mall tours prior to pandemic lockdowns? We discuss all this and much more in gaming news this week on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The Mario Bros. Movie has been released, and boy did it make a LOT of money, exceeding expectations. We certianly have come a long way from video game movie adaptations of the 90s. We talk about what might be different now, and what the success of the Mario Bros. movie might mean for future video game movies. It looks like Street Fighter has already been confirmed to be made. Maybe it will make a lot of money too, or maybe it was just last Tuesday. All this and much more round out another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The upcoming game Redfall faced some pushback by the gaming community when it was announced that even to play single player, the game would require an online connection. With this weekend's Diablo 4 beta always requiring an online connection, we take a moment to "check in" about the always connected gaming debate. Have more gamers accepted that more games are just going to be connected online to sell battle passes? Are there generational differences in thinking? #ItsNotTelemetry We talk about all this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

It's the last stand of the Wii U and 3DS Nintendo eShops this week, as the stores are set to close on the 27th (but you really should be prepared for things to close sooner than that). What does this mean for game preservation, and the ethics of someone wanting to play one of these soon to be unavailable titles? We discuss that as well as the highlights of the catalogs still available for one more week for these systems.
