This week's show was recorded on March 10th, or MAR10 day. A day to celebrate Mario because... it's not his birthday... nor an anniversay... just another silly nerd holiday like some others out there. Nintendo does embrace MAR10 day though with some announcements of their own, including the obvious (a new movie, of course), and the "well that makes sense" (a new lego set). We celebrate Mario and ALL things great in the gaming industry... and drag those things bringing the gaming industry down (certain CEOs). It all makes up another week of the longest running podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!

The rumors about Xbox last week were really going into overdrive, and this week we finally got some clarity from some of the big leaders at Team Xbox about the future direction of the gaming platform. The information we recieved seemed... not as hyped as everyone seemed to think it would be. On the Internet? Surely you jest. Still, we talk about the news that did come out including four Xbox titles soon to be multiplatform. In the news later on, we talk about a similar story from Sony regarding PC multi-platform releases. We talk about all this news and much more on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We were unexpectedly out last week due to storms, and BOY did we come back to a ton of rumors about what's going on at Microsoft. Could there be truth to the rumor that Microsoft is about to exit the hardware business? Or is this just about Starfield and a couple other games going to PS5? As usual, clickbait driven YouTubers blow everything out of proportion. We take a minute to review what we know and what we speculate could be forthcoming. As Phil Spencer has mentioned more information this week, we could have a lot more to dissect on our next show. All this and more round out another episode of the longest running podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!

In what has become a disturbing trend in 2024's gaming industry, a large amount of layoffs happened at Microsoft this week, largely impacting Activision/Blizzard as the result of their merger. While some redundancy is expected, the cancelation of a project that Blizzard had been working on for six years compounded the situation. How do we remain enthusiastic about the games industry when this news never seems to end? Why does it keep happening? We discuss all this and much more on another episode the longest running weekly podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!
