We discuss along with our live listeners, then get into what we have been playing this week, and other news for the week including Apex Legends and how it has really taken the industry by storm. Is this game going to be a huge success for EA, or is it setting up a potential future failure?

Sadly a storm and subsequent power failure cut this episode of Orange Lounge Radio short, however in this salvaged audio from our Twitch stream, Rob and Loki sit down to discuss MAGFest, a new law in Japan about gaming modding, our gaming weeks, and a potential new gaming console. Jamie joins us in a recorded segment to talk about the Classic Game of the Week. Hopefully Mother Nature will be nicer to us next week, see you then!

Fortnite is one of the biggest games out there right now, but it's made it a target for lawsuits including ones this week involving pop culture dances available for sale in the game. At what point are things parody, or creative works stolen for profits? Why is this being targeted now when games like World of Warcraft have had pop culture dances in them for some time? We discuss on this weeks episode of the show, including much more news as we get used to our new home for live broadcasts on Twitch at twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

 

Also in the News:

* Microsoft All Access ending... for now

* Celeste new levels and Games with Gold

* Spiderman PS4 Sam Raimi suit

* Minecraft Updates are the last... on PS3 and WiiU anyway

Fallout 76 continues to get negative feedback from folks on the internet this week, and this time a lot of the focus has to do with a bag promised in the collectors edition which changed materials from canvas to nylon. This didn't stop social media influencers from getting a canvas version of the bag though. We dig into this icky prediciment and wonder what Bethesda can do to make this right. Then we get into the gaming news of the week which includes Nintendo making a big change on a controversial broadcasting and media sharing policy of theirs.
