Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online concluded after raising $2.7 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. As a host/donation reader, I was fully immersed in the GDQ spirit throughout the week and gained some insight into the choices made by the event organizers. I discuss why incentives are sometimes set high (and then pushed), which donation comments I chose to read, why some donation comments never got to me, and then I go through both of my shifts to discuss how tone changed and what I was attempting to invoke when I was on the microphone. On Wednesday night, during the push for the Zelda: Wand of Gamelon All Cutscene bonus game, I started with Devil May Cry 3 by Waifu. This had hilarious commentary with fast action, high paced gameplay. Zingers flew freely. Immediately after that, the tone shifted to a more relaxing tone with the impressive Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 100% by Calco. Both the runner and commentator Niakky have English as a Second Language and were nervous about having to perform in English. Then, on Friday, it was all about Yakuza 6: The Song of Life by Froob. The main donation incentive here was a Yakuza cutscene called "Rugby Baby." I had not seen the cutscene ahead of time, which influenced how we (Froob and myself) chose to present it to the audience. Also: I do explain where "SpikeVegeta And Crew" came from, and how it was trying to cover myself and not create a bigger flub.

It's time to make some predictions in the gaming industry for 2021! Do we think a Switch Pro will really happen? What might that look like? How might social networks meet gaming more in 2021. What sequels do we think could be announced this year? We get into all of these kinds of predictions, as well as the strange and silly stuff too. Our gaming weeks and a trip thru the news cap off another week at the start of another year for Orange Lounge Radio!

We visit some comments regarding previous episodes, including some more reminiscing on the Commodore 64 and how we might have formerly on the wrong side of the law but now on the right one. Adobe has finally killed off the Flash platform, taking the memes of the early 2000's offline forever, unless you use an emulator. We ask the chat (and you) what games are you anticipating in 2021? Then we talk to OLR about the death of Adobe Flash and how it affects our day jobs.

We take this first show of 2021 to look back on the mess of a year that was 2020. Although the world was a crazy place, there were many video games that helped us keep it together. Our hosts reflect on their favorite games of the year and what got them through these times, and why. We also look back on a couple of predictions for the year, and if they came true. Then we get into the news of the week, even if the holidays kept there from being any huge headlines. It's all topped off with a WTF classic game pick to start off the year with a bang.   Also in the News:   * Nintendo Theme Park Power Band * Final Secret in NieR: Automata discovered * New Inti Creates Games in Development * Gradius III comes to Arcade Archive   All this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!

Reminder: I'm hosting on Wednesday and Friday nights at Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online! Check the schedule for the exact times. Arcade1up released a firmware update for the OutRun cabinet that added Rad Rally to the list of games - but it doesn't go as smoothly as expected. (Check out the video version of this segment on the VOG Network YouTube channel!) Bobby gives his favorite Games of the Year, some you expect and some you might not expect. Then we talk to OLR about Nintendo possibly still using Amiibos and the upcoming AGDQ.

The news hasn't stopped this holiday week as a new chapter unfolds in the Cyberpunk 2077 release drama with lawsuits having been filed. However these aren't angry gamers filing the lawsuits, they are someone else who is angry. We talk about what this all could mean and the implications it may have on the gaming industry in the future. We recap our gaming weeks during the holidays and get into even more news on the last episode of our show for 2020. See you next year!

Dead of Night was a BBC anthology series of spooky stories first broadcast in late 1972. They were contemporary stories that were meant to avoid the gothic elements of many television ghost stories. Four of the seven episodes are missing, so we’re covering the remaining three. Please send us your comments, questions, requests and complaints. […]

Reminder: I'm going to be hosting at Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online on Wednesday and Friday evening the first week of January! Come participate in a wonderful event for charity. Cyberpunk 2077 has been pulled from the PlayStation Network Store and are offering full refunds after CD Projekt Red told customers to seek a refund from Sony if they didn't like the performance on last-gen hardware. Even though it's now an Xbox/PC Exclusive, Microsoft is also offering full refunds, but did not pull the game from their digital storefront. If you're wondering how this passed certification - it's because console certification isn't QA, it just makes sure that the game doesn't destroy the console. I have played the first eight hours on an Xbox Series X, and there's some glimpses of greatness in there. Then we take a call about how GameSpot gave Half-Life: Alyx their Game Of The Year award and how it seems like a milestone for VR gaming.

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. The Pokemon news didn't stop there though as we got announcements with the main series as well. 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.
