Orange Lounge Radio

Our show begins with some reflection on the news out of Jacksonville and the horrible incident at the Madden 19 tournament that took place there. Some strong feelings are expressed, but we return to the topic of video game news for the week including increased rumblings that Microsoft may offer some sort of subsidized Xbox One for an agreement to participate in the Game Pass program. It seems more and more game services are tilting towards subscriptions, could this be where the industry is headed? We discuss.

 

Also in the news:

 

* Comics coming to the Switch

* Twitch to remove ad-free Prime

* Dark Pictures Anthology

* Last Remnant to be removed from Steam

Diablo III is finally confirmed for the Nintendo Switch after months and months of rumors, but some of the ways that the game has been chosen to be revealed have our hosts wearing tin foil hats wondering if there is more afoot. Someone has asked Blizzard what the odds are if there could be more afoot for Overwatch and Starcraft. For one game, the odds aren't so good, but for the other, as one move once said "So you're telling me... there's a chance?" All this news and much more on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice -- Orange Lounge Radio!

 

Also in the News:

* Steam TV to compete with Twitch?

* Halo Infinite

* Gone Home on the Switch

* Court blocks GTA Online Cheating Program

Fighting games are the talk of the community this weekend as EVO takes place in Las Vegas. Some late breaking news before the show includes an interesting new character for Tekken 7. We take some time to talk about some of our fighting games, and react live to some of the news and results coming out of the contest. There's also plenty of time to talk about our gaming weeks and news, including a messy app allowed on steam that secretly mined for bitcoin. Sounds like Steam might need to watch what they are putting out on their store!

 

Also in the news:

* 3DS Bans Pirates similar to Switch last week

* Fortnite Tutors

* Bioware working on secret Mass Effect and Dragon Age projects?

* New Chinese Console with AMD CPU

We start off this week's show by talking about the impact of gaming on what we see in the "mainstream" media on big channels and big shows on nationwide networks. Do we like to see gaming represented in mainstreaming culture or do we not like the way that sometimes it is represented? We discuss in studio and with our LIVE participants in chat. After our gaming weeks, we also get into a discussion about Nintendo coming after major ROM websites. It sure seems like a random time for something like this to happen when ROMs are available in so many places. We discuss.

 

Also in the news:

* Loot Boxes to be removed from Forza Motorsport 7

* Mini Arcade Cabinets

* Zelda II Remake (or who wouldn't mind doing one at least)

* Taiko no Tatsujin US Release

After an unexpected week off, we are back to talk about the games we have been playing and the news from the gaming week.

Do we think this was time well spent by the developers, or are we surprised they didn't move on to a new project? We discuss with our LIVE listeners.

 

Also in the news:

* Mario Kart Hot Wheels

* Tingle Horror Game was cancelled

* Neopets returns

* Gearbox pokes fun at their own AI bug

On a shorter news week due to the holiday, we start with a not so serious topic about games we might be a little embarassed to admit we've played before. Okay so maybe we don't get embarassed about the games we play but still, there's gotta be something we can't believe we actually spend time playing! Then we change topics and get into the news from the week which include a pair of anime deals on netflix to bring us another season of Castlevania, as well as an anime based on Ingress!

 

Also in the news:

* More Switch titles to come in 2018?

* Warframe headed to switch

* Amazon Prime Changes

* Fast Start on Xbox One

After a week off we take an opportunity to recap some of the big headlines for the week that we missed including the fact that Gamestop is changing yet again, getting into the comic book business as well as looking for a new buyer. We then dive into the news from this week with our live chatters after talking about our gaming weeks, with stories that include Pokemon Go levels being at the highest they've been since the original hysteria surrounding the launch. Sounds like lots of people want to have a friends list and trade Pokemon!

 

Also in the news:

* Google to start their own gaming platform?

* Mice and Keyboards soon to work on Xbox One?

* Omega Labyrinth Z denied local release

* Labo support for other Switch Games

It's our sweet sixteenth birthday! And what a week to have a birthday on, as we still have to wrap up the rest of what we saw at E3. We go over Sony, Ubisoft and Nintendo announcements and give some of our honest feedback with our live chatters. The news doesn't end at E3 though as we cover not just some of the non-press conference news from the show, but some of the events that have happened afterwards as well.

 

Thank you OLRmy for helping us achieve this sixteen year milestone!

 

Also in the news:

* Stock Reactions to Conferences

* Steam Achievements Limited

* Stranger Things Video Game

* Fortnite cross platform Controversy

On this special episode of Orange Lounge Radio, E3 week is already underway as we broadcast live on Sunday Night. Our hosts recap the EA and Microsoft press conferences with thoughts and reactions, and then we pause the show to watch what Bethesda has to say together. Once we return, we talk about this and other news throughout the week including thoughts on what we hope to see from Sony and Nintendo in the coming days.

 

Look to the VOGNetwork Discord and our social media channels for the "bonus" live commentary track for Bethesda's conference if you are interested.
