A pair of stories about Twitch start off our show tonight, as twitch has become such an important part of gaming culture. This doesn't stop one cable talk show host from shading it though as being about just watching people play video games, but to us is it more than that? Also, an interesting study on moderation on Twitch has led to the conclusion that they need to have more moderation. How can Twitch effectively do this? We talk about all this and more on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice!

Hey, I heard you like gaming stores, so we're going to put a gaming store inside your gaming store! We talk about the news that itch.io is coming to the Epic Games store, but is this really a store within a store, or is this more of a move by Epic to build out an app marketplace to attempt to compete with other app marketplaces? We discuss this, and much more as this isn't the only gaming store making headlines this week!

Rumors were spread online this week that SquareEnix was considered for acquisition by other companies, but in a rare rebuke, SquareEnix has denied the story. Why would something like this be spread online? We discuss the issue and if someone was perhaps trying to manipulate the stock, especially in a day and age where more of us are getting into stock trading. We don't stop there though as there's plenty of news to get into for the week!

The name "Xbox Live" is fading away in favor of the name "Xbox Network". Why would Microsoft be wanting to change things up from a name they've had for over 10 years? Could part of the reason be due to some of the horror stories that we've heard of how people treat others on Xbox Live sometimes? We discuss this and much more in gaming news this week!(Due to Technical Problems while broadcasting live, we posted late this week. The audio is from our recording on twitch and may have some imperfections as a result. Sorry about that!)Also in the News:* Animal Crossing Sanrio Cards* Pikmin Niantic Game Coming* Mobile FF11 Cancelled* 20 Indie Games coming to Game PassAll this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!LIVE on the VOG Network, Sunday nights at 6 Pacific, 9 Eastern www.vognetwork.comTwitter: @olrMailbag: participate (at) orangeloungeradio dot com
