* We begin by looking back at the April Fools jokes that did not involve promising to never give you up. * Then we talk about the Rock Band Sock Mod for some drumsets that make playing Hard and Expert actually feasable. * Sam & Max Season One is coming to the Wii! * Rumble is coming to the PS3! * Grand Theft Auto 4 might not be coming at all! (According to one analyst, at least.) * We play a full game from start to finish - the Flash game You Have To Burn The Rope. Spoiler alert - there's a rope, and it must be burned. * Then we take calls about the Dualshock 3 and about Konami inviting reviewers to beta test Metal Gear Solid 4, therefore removing them from contention to actually be able to review the game. * Orange Lounge Radio: Live premieres exclusively on AGR on April 13th!

* We open up by talking about Lost Odyssey and it's lack of save points. * Then we talk about the messages we've received on our PS3 about when we're going to actually play games - so we started playing one! * After reading an email about our WiiWare discussion from two weeks ago, we discuss Metanet's comments in their Gamasutra postmortem on recent XBLA title N+, as well as their later clarification. * Also, we look at Microsoft telling Japanese developer 5pb that they are cutting down on faithful arcade ports with respect to shmups Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label X and Ketsui X. * So the question becomes: what do YOU, the gamer, think of Xbox Live Arcade's offerings? Our chat room answers may surprise you. * We also briefly discuss Microsoft's DRM and that they may be close to fixing it.

* Kropotkin from Superhappyfuntimeshow joins us to discuss what he saw at the Play.com Live event in London's Wembley Stadium, and also tells us why he could have shut the entire event down. * We discuss a little bit about Lost Odyssey and Sam & Max: Episode 204. * But then we discuss Gibson suing everybody in the world over Guitar Hero and Rock Band, along with public statements from Activision, Gibson, and Harmonix. * We bring up that the Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack will be free this week, to prepare for the Legendary Map pack coming in April. * Then we take calls on Japanese developers not wanting to evolve, and (once again) the death of PC gaming.

* We continue the talk about Super Smash Bros Brawl, this time discussing the game design decisions within the Subspace Emissary campaign, and relations to Portal are made. * Nintendo has made great promises to independent developers about the upcoming WiiWare service, but will it really be all roses like they claim? * Capcom announced that the Xbox Live Arcade filesize won't be an issue with Street Fighter II HD. * Criterion Games announced that the new islands in Burnout Paradise will be FREE DLC. * Activision is suing Gibson Guitars because Gibson claims that they have a patent on Guitar Hero from 1999. * But we take a caller who looked up the patent and tells us what Gibson REALLY has a patent on - and it ain't Guitar Hero! * We also take callers on if 2008 is really the time to get a PS3 and about racism in games.

* Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away last week, and we look back at what he did for all of gaming, and our experiences with what he started. * We then continue discussion on the cleaned Xbox 360 with an email from a listener as well as a followup statement from the victim himself. * Then, it's all about Smash! Super Smash Bros Brawl has come out and has some technical issues (such as not being able to connect online, or not being able to read the disc at all) but we discuss what makes the game work and not work. * We then take a TON of calls about both Brawl and Army of Two - it's gotta be a new record! * Check Bobby out on Episode 117 of the Video Game Outsiders.
