Orange Lounge Radio - Video Game Radio

Welcome to the new format for Orange Lounge Radio where Parts A & B of our live show are now combined! This also means you get new descriptions! Anyhow in tonights episode, it is expo mania! Our spirits are high having just booked our trip to PAX for August. After a review of the California Extreme show that DarkSakura attended, we wrap up the show we DID NOT attend this year: E3. We recap the press conferences from the big 3 companies. Will the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII on XBOX 360 mean that Rob will never buy a Playstation 3? The crew has some very different opinions on the announcement of Wii Music. The list of announcements goes on and on and on until we get to our Classic game of the week. After the break, we touch on some other news such as this Dead Rising Wii game we had never ever heard of before E3. We have a cry over E3 no longer being for the core gamers (According to Miyamoto, anyway). Then we have a discussion on the return of Red Pyramid (aka Pyramid Head) to the Silent Hill series, which causes us to declare a new OLR Holiday: Pyramid Head Rape Appreciation Day! (Subject to change due to political correctness). All this and your phone calls, the mailbag, live chatroom comments and more on Orange Lounge Radio: The place where every gamer has a voice.
