We're doing a second VHS Gaming Tape Stream on Wednesday, May 19th, at 9PM ET/6PM PT at the VOGNetwork Twitch channel, featuring home movies from E3 2000 and 2001! We got a viewer comment about how we used to be able to know if we'd like a game because of game reviews, but now that no longer seems to be the case. Humble Bundle announced that they are reversing their previous decision and have restored the sliders to their bundles - but now take a larger cut for themselves by default. Epic Games v. Apple started this week with testimony from Epic and Microsoft, and lots of time was spent defining what a "game" was and if Fortnite fit that definition. Oh, and a lot of other industry secrets were revealed... Then we talk to OLR about the new Stern Pinball table that was about to be announced, as well as the upcoming Switch game maker Game Builder Garage.

The big courtroom battle going on in the gaming industry has spilled secrets all around the industry. No wonder people like to settle out of court, as much of the testimony and exhibits have unveiled some secrets in the industry. Who did Epic try to pay to get their games on their store? How much did they pay for some of those exclusives? We got the details on all this and more this week. It's not all courtroom drama this week though, as Nintendo announced a new game that's coming out in just 5 weeks that has people excited! All this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Epic Games v. Apple began the day after the recording of this episode, so we talk about what we hope for and, spoiler alert for the next episode, we got a WHOLE LOT more than we had imagined... We did learn before the trial started that Microsoft was going to lower their percentage for Xbox games, but have since backed away from that proposal. Activision has reassigned most of its studios to work on Call of Duty: Warzone rather than the IP's that made them famous. Then we take a call about New Pokemon Snap as well as previewing the Epic Games v. Apple legal fight.

A pair of stories about Twitch start off our show tonight, as twitch has become such an important part of gaming culture. This doesn't stop one cable talk show host from shading it though as being about just watching people play video games, but to us is it more than that? Also, an interesting study on moderation on Twitch has led to the conclusion that they need to have more moderation. How can Twitch effectively do this? We talk about all this and more on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice!

We take some viewer comments on previous episodes and talk about when movies have been "patched" after going to theaters (it doesn't happen as often, though...) as well as discuss why Capcom is remaking Resident Evil 4 for Oculus Quest 2 rather than making a new spinoff game in the franchise. Jeff Kaplan, creative director for Overwatch, is leaving Blizzard after 19 years. However, this is a trend that is going on across the entire tech industry in early 2021 and is not necessarily specifically related to just Blizzard. Sony has announced that the PS3 and Vita stores are NOT going offline after all. Humble Bundle, the digital game storefront that allowed you to donate lots of money to charity, is now no longer allowing you to donate lots of money to charity and keeping more of your money for itself, making it not so humble anymore. Then we talk to Rob about his thoughts on job changes in the tech industry.

Pokemon GO announced some big changes this week, not only in how it will interface with Pokemon Home, but also in rolling back several changes that had been made to the game months ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join Rob Roberts with Network Regulars Shad Starzyk, ssj100matt, and act_deft of the GFMcast for a discussion on all the latest in Pokemon news from this week.
