We catch up from a planned week off last week, as Rob was attending the Southern Fried Gaming Expo, where he got to participate on a few panels.

Orange Lounge Radio 1051 - 6/15/2025

Finally after nearly a year of striking, it appears the gaming voice actors strike may be near it's end, with a suspension declared this week. Could Fortnite have accelerated this bargening process? We talk about this at the top of our show along with news out of Sony. The PlayStation 5 has been one of it's most successful consoles, so why do they keep doing layoffs at studios? Much seems to be riding on one of their upcoming titles. We talk about all this and much more on another week of the lo...

What a busy week in gaming! For the first time since 2020, we have a launch of a major new console in the Switch 2. We start the show by recapping our experiences with the launch, and discussing the flagship launch game Mario Kart World. However the news didn't stop with a new console launch, as all the big players made headlines this week in the tradition of early June, even without a large trade show. We recap all the announcements with all of our live participants on another episode of the lo...

Fortnite Battle Royale this week introduced a Darth Vader character powered by Gemini AI, allowing lines to be generated in real time that would be said in the likeness of James Earl Jones. Naturally, the internet managed to put this to some horrible use within minutes, which has us questioning why a game like this needed something like this in the first place? Has Epic Games just handed SAG-AFTRA what they need in their STILL ongoing negotiations for AI protections? Is this really what gamers w...

Orange Lounge Radio 1046 - 5/11/2025

Nintendo has a reputation as a bit of a litigious company, and it's probably no surprise that they will continue to go lengths to combat piracy. This could potentially include in the future the "bricking" of Nintendo Switch systems, if the recent user agreement is any indication. What would happen if there was a false positive though? Could this even be possible? We discuss this and much more news, including that from PAX East, on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lo...

Orange Lounge Radio 1045 - 5/4/2025

Well, we all knew it was coming, but Microsoft has raised the prices of their consoles, likely in response to the tariff situation in the US. However, they also announced a game price increase to $80, matching Nintendo's recent Mario Kart World price announcement. Is an $80 price tag the new norm? You know LOKI has something to say about that. Also, Rob has some things to say on his recent trip to Super Nintendo World at Universal Fan Fest Nights. All this and more on another week of the longest...

Orange Lounge Radio 1043 - 4/20/2025

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remake in Unreal 5 is all but confirmed this week as we see screenshots leak to the internet. One clever social media user also tricked a customer service bot (likely powered by AI) to confirm the release. Sounds like AI is still making lots of mistakes like not following NDAs, oops! Sometimes a rumor has so much smoke there is certainly fire, so we look to this remake and how likely we are to pick it up. All this news and much more make up another week of the longest...
