We are back! It is now 2025, the holidays are over, and it's time to get back to talking about video games. I was in Las Vegas over the Christmas holiday, and went to AREA15 (along with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart as well as the Asylum Bar and Arcade) as well as the Pinball Hall of Fame. I also picked up Balatro. I won on my second game, and I will now retire from the game forever. (Or will I?) Apple has halted production on their Apple Vision Pro headset because they believe they have produced enough units to meet the demand over the headset's lifetime. Stern Pinball has announced a new Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine with celebrity voiceovers as well as a procedurally generated dungeon that changes every Sunday. Then we talk to Rob about my virtual pinball cabinet, and how Zen Studios unlocked the cabinet mode for free for Pinball FX3 users, rather than forcing you to jump through hoops to get a free activation code.

With the beginning of 2025, the 23rd year we have been broadcasting in, we start off with our traditional visiting of our predictions from last year. At least one came true! And maybe a half point here and there on some others. We also lock in our predictions for 2025. What could gaming have in store for us this year? Find out with us on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

More games are outrageously delisted by Warner Brothers this week, as gaming preservationists everywhere get more frustrated by these sudden delistings of old games. What can we do as gamers to get these habits to change? We discuss ideas and much more news. It might have been a holiday week, but that doesn't stop the video game discussion happening on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

After two weeks off, Orange Lounge Radio returns tonight to tackle the video game news of the holiday season, including the latest rumors and gossip on the Switch 2. It appears that could be the official name, what do we think of that name and the direction this system is rumored to be headed? When do we think this system will finally not be such a rumor anymore? We talk about all this and much more on another week of the longest running podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!

The Tractate Middoth and The Dead Room were from the BBC’s annual A Ghost Story for Christmas tradition. The first was an M.R. James adaptation from 2013, and the second was an original ghost story from 2018. They were written and directed by Mark Gatiss. Please send us your comments, questions, requests and complaints.

The indie game storefront itch.io was taken down by Funko earlier this week due to a fraud report by Funko that was executed after itch.io removed the offending content. We talk about games being inaccessible, and somehow this devolves to yet another love session for the racing game Blur. The Game Awards was this week, and we talk a lot about the winners and trailers. During this, we wonder aloud why College Football 25 was not nominated for Best Sports Game when it was such a cultural phenomenon this summer. Then we ask what YOUR GOTY was.

Join DJ Ranma S, Mako-chan, BerryMelon, WildSpice, and Koibug for their yearly get-together of good times and merry cheer! Then we look through the articles and share some interesting stories such as a man who has eaten at the same restaurant for over 1800 days in a row, a city painting its streets yellow to discourage prostitution, not paying for a date may be seen as domestic violence by the government, Ghibli Park puts up Christmas trees and decorations, and invites fans to “come search for Christmas”, and Pokémon to get the Claymation treatment via Wallace and Gromit's home studio! Plus Ask the Anime Jam Session Staff! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/animejamsession/support

We start off talking about where Microsoft Flight Simulator gets its maps - and why the game may be years behind what you can find in the web version. iFixIt now sells official Xbox parts, marking another win for Right to Repair. EA has made 23 accessibility patents free to use for any studio. The Dragon Quest creator wants you to loan your copy of the HD-2D Remake to kids when you're done with it so they will appreciate the genre like we did when we were kids. Then, thanks to chat, we talk about the legacy of Dani Bunten with 80's era multiplayer innovations with Seven Cities, M.U.L.E., and Modem Wars.

"...Atari released a modern version of their classic system. (my first game system actually) Now by 'modern' I don’t mean high-end graphics and AAA titles. This is functionally the exact same system that was released back when I was a kid."
