A year is a long time in gaming memories so we take a look inside our time capsule made one year ago to see who made the best predictions for 2018! Which ones came true, and which ones were so bad in retrospect that we gave a good laugh? We also make our 2019 predictions to open next year, and then get into the week in gaming news which includes Bungie and Activison parting ways. How will this effect the Destiny series? How is this different from the last time Bungie split from a partnership which was Microsoft? We discuss and cover the other big gaming news of the week!

Jamie joins us in a recorded segment to talk about the Classic Game of the Week. Hopefully Mother Nature will be nicer to us next week, see you then!
Fortnite is one of the biggest games out there right now, but it's made it a target for lawsuits including ones this week involving pop culture dances available for sale in the game. At what point are things parody, or creative works stolen for profits? Why is this being targeted now when games like World of Warcraft have had pop culture dances in them for some time? We discuss on this weeks episode of the show, including much more news as we get used to our new home for live broadcasts on Twitch at twitch.tv/VOGNetworkMany changes have happened at OLR Headquarters, including our move of the live show to Twitch.tv! We spend a bit talking about the move this week, then get into talking about some of the weeks news in gaming, which includes news of Discord promises of profit sharing to developers. And this comes right off the heels of news regarding Epic's store last week. Sounds like the gaming store wars could be heating up!The Game Awards were given out this week, but with that came the reveal of LOTS of new games and things to look forward to in the new year. What were our thoughts on these awards? We discuss the show and the previews for the games to come. We also get into the gaming news of the week which includes a follow up to some of the Fallout 76 bag debacle from last weeks show.Fallout 76 continues to get negative feedback from folks on the internet this week, and this time a lot of the focus has to do with a bag promised in the collectors edition which changed materials from canvas to nylon. This didn't stop social media influencers from getting a canvas version of the bag though. We dig into this icky predicament and wonder what Bethesda can do to make this right. Then we get into the gaming news of the week which includes Nintendo making a big change on a controversial broadcasting and media sharing policy of theirs.
