Kotaku is deprioritizing news in favor of guides - which leads into a discussion of "Evergreen Content" vs "Topical Content" when it comes to content creation. We go over the Game Developers Choice Awards - which is the awards show everyone wants when The Game Awards happen, but nobody actually watches. Sony halts production on the PlayStation VR2 headsets because nobody is buying them. Then we talk to Rob about evergreen vs. topical content.

The original Urusei Yatsura anime is on Crunchyroll, BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO gets stage play, no not just an April Fool's joke, and Space Battleship Yamato gets a 50th anniversary project!

Final Fantasy XIV released on Xbox Series this week, and while Rob took the opportunity to unlock some quick achievements, not every Xbox player has been so lucky. An overzealous algorhythm has allegedly been banning people unnecessarily, for behavior one would expect in an MMO. Is Xbox being too anal retentive with it's policy, or is this a downside of leaning too much into AI? We discuss this and much more in the news on another week of the longest running weekly video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

A radical shift in editorial content at one major gaming news website has caused the Editor in Chief to resign. We discuss this shift, and the potential reasons behind it, as well as the rise of guides in what people look for online. This also brings us to a talk on how we consume headlines altogether, including a bit of a tangent on some of the biggest headlines of our time. All this and more make up another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We revisit the emulator settlement from last week with some clarifications from someone who is more knowledgeable in the inner workings of that scene than we are. Some emulator developers have gotten spooked enough to take their emulators offline, others have more resolve with more safeguards. Digital Eclipse's second entry in the Gold Master Series is out - Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. It shows that Jeff is a master of the VIC20, but ends abruptly in 1994 - even though Jeff's story is still being told. The Museum of Play has announced the 2024 World Video Game Hall of Fame finalists - who would you vote for? Then we talk to OLR about Llamasoft games that we might have played as kids, and who we would pick for the World Video Game Hall of Fame.

The gaming news seems to have slowed down a bit, but that doesn't stop us from tackling the headlines of the week, including a confirmed date for a show where will likely be lots of gaming news, Summer Game Fest. The creator of Summer Game Fest has finally broken a silence on the layoffs occurring in the industry, but are folks on social media holding him to an unrealistic standard? We discuss this and so much more on another week of the longest running podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!

We start off this episode by remembering Akira Toriyama and all of his contributions to gaming and anime. Happy MAR10 Day! Several Mario themed announcements were made, such as adding more Mario games to Nintendo Switch Online, and bringing some Gamecube and 3DS titles to Switch, and a LEGO Mario Kart set (a building set, not a video game) coming in 2025. However, earlier this week Nintendo and the Yuzu emulator team settled for $2.4 million, shutting down the emulator team that worked on Yuzu and Citra for the 3DS. Warner Bros Discovery has informed independent developers that published through Adult Swim Games that their games will be delisted, and the publisher has informed them that they will just delete the Steam pages rather than do the three clicks to transfer ownership to the indie developers. (The indie developers still own the IP and can republish, starting from scratch.) Then we talk to Rob about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and why I'm now burned out on it.
