Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom kicked off this last weekend, and many gamers are diving right into the game, and enjoying their experiences. The game holds one of the highest critic aggregate scores of all time. However, that doesn't prevent some from having a more tepid, perceived as some as negative, take on the game.

It's a big week for gamers with the much anticipated release of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the horizon.

Is it fair that Nintendo shuts this kind of project down? We discuss this, our gaming weeks, and MUCH more in gaming on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The latest DLC for Horizon: Forbidden West gets review bombed on Metacritic for a ridiculous reason that sadly feels all too familiar.

Nintendo has announced a live event to take place in Seattle in September, but the big mystery is what might they be wanting to show people. Is this the Western arrival of SpaceWorld? Or is there something else Nintendo hopes to accomplish with this event? Would this be something gamers would be interested in attending, possibly traveling across the country for, or will it be more like the mall tours prior to pandemic lockdowns? We discuss all this and much more in gaming news this week on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The Mario Bros. Movie has been released, and boy did it make a LOT of money, exceeding expectations. We certainly have come a long way from video game movie adaptations of the 90s.

The upcoming game Redfall faced some pushback by the gaming community when it was announced that even to play single player, the game would require an online connection.

Have more gamers accepted that more games are just going to be connected online to sell battle passes? Are there generational differences in thinking? #ItsNotTelemetry We talk about all this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!
