We start off by wishing Pac-Man a very happy 42nd birthday, as the first arcade cabinet hit Japan on May 22, 1980. I talk about some of the memories and merchandise from the time period, and about how the Atari 2600 version is actually a technical masterpiece despite not being very true to the original arcade game. I will be at MomoCon in Atlanta on Saturday, May 27th, just hanging out. Will I see you there? I am hosting four games early on at Summer Games Done Quick 2022! EA is looking to sell, and already had one attempt by NBCUniversal. The Saudi Arabian Crown Prince has taken a 5.01% stake in Nintendo - after already investing in Capcom, Nexon, and SNK. We take a call from a new Xbox Series X owner asking which games he should play in 4K for the first time. Then we talk to Rob about other great games that are on Game Pass, especially for those new to 4K gaming.

The whole gang is back as they talk discuss CloverCon at Somerset County 4-H! Also, what's up with Anime Central's mask mandate? And a classic anime Urusei Yatsura is back with a new series!

Could the popular social app TikTok be about to launch gaming within the platform? We talk about how some gaming content creators use tiktok today, and some of the attempts of other social media in the past to leverage gaming and how that has been successful or not. We also get into our gaming weeks, and much more news, including a dating sim being announced for a game we talk about a lot on the show. All this and MORE on another week of the longest running video game podcast celebrating 20 years next month, Orange Lounge Radio!

The best selling console game in the world - EA Sports FIFA - is getting rebranded to EA Sports FC in 2023. FIFA says that the only reason the game is good is because of their name on the box, and not the software inside. A composer for Street Fighter 5 gave some insight on the future of a character, but now says that he was giving a hypothetical opinion on a livestream he promoted as "ask me about my work on Street Fighter" and, even though he said he had sources, he actually didn't have any sources. Then we talk to Rob about how the video game industry is actually quite small and networking is key.

Have pictures leaked to twitter confirmed a new Silent Hill game? Probably not as much as Konami immediately having the pictures pulled. What could this mean for the future of this often speculated about franchise, as it's been 10 years since the last official title? Also in the opening of the show tonight, DarkSakura gives a recap of a local Pinball Convention that she attended. It's not just pinball but plenty of video games on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

I've been once again selected as a host for Summer Games Done Quick - this time IN PERSON! Square Enix has sold Eidos, Crystal Dynamics, and Square Enix Montreal to Embracer Group for only $300 million. Embracer Group is the Sweidsh version of Tencent - they have made a ton of purchases in the last few months. Square Enix claims they sold these studios so they could concentrate on other moneymaking technologies. Nvidia has been fined by the SEC for misleading investors over how many of their gaming GPUs were being sold to non-gamers. We talk about a viewer comment about Nintendo not doing a good enough job preserving third party Nintendo titles. Then we talk to Rob about Square Enix's sale and their reasoning.

A major sale in the industry happened after last week's show when Embracer purchased some of the studios under SquareEnix holdings. However what really has people talking is the deal price that Embracer got these studios for. Why is SquareEnix trying to sell off these companies? One comment has led to a further investment in blockchain-related technologies in gaming, which has our cast talking about if this technology actually has a place in gaming, or if it's too crime and scam riddled past the point of no return.

Bobby Blackwolf of The Bobby Blackwolf Show and Rob Roberts of Orange Lounge Radio went on Twitch on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, to discuss the biggest gaming news of the day: Microsoft's intent to purchase Activision Blizzard King.
