We take this first show of 2021 to look back on the mess of a year that was 2020. Although the world was a crazy place, there were many video games that helped us keep it together. Our hosts reflect on their favorite games of the year and what got them through these times, and why. We also look back on a couple of predictions for the year, and if they came true. Then we get into the news of the week, even if the holidays kept there from being any huge headlines. It's all topped off with a WTF classic game pick to start off the year with a bang.

Cyberpunk 2077 released this week, but several bugs are present in the game which is letting the memes fly online. What did Loki, who was really excited about the games release think about the game? Are the bugs truly ruining the game, or are they becoming "features" of their own. Have we forgiven buggy games in the past that have gone on to become great games? We talk about all this and more including MANY announcements and trailers from The Game Awards that happened this week.

The Game Awards are this week, and we are sure to get some shocking announcements along with the event. After all this was the place the Xbox Series X was revealed last year. Could we see a similar huge announcement from a company like Nintendo? Careful not to set the expectations too high, though we talk about some predictions that might make sense. Speaking of big reveals, our friend YYR joins us to talk about his latest project from YYRGames, and the end of it is a real shocking surprise to our hosts and our live listeners, as a long kept secret is finally revealed.

Recent Comments by Phil Spencer of XBOX call to light some of the ugly sides of gaming culture that rest with the "versus" mentality and competition of console brands. We take a look at some of the long history of console wars in the gaming community, and discuss why much of that mentality may not be appropriate today. Gaming is for everyone, but you might not know it reading the comments section sometimes. We discuss this and much more gaming news of the week on this holiday week and an all new episode of Orange Lounge Radio!

We are on the eve of a new generation of consoles, something we've really only seen twice before in the 18 plus year history of our show.

Which ones are we going to wait on? And we talk about some of the last minute changes with the consoles that have us wondering if maybe it was too soon to be jumping into the next generation. We talk about all this and more on the dawn of a new generation on this week's Orange Lounge Radio!
