The GamerSushi Show, Ep 32: The Prodigal Podcast

And... we're back.



We've taken a bit of time away from the podcast (and if you've noticed, the site in general) to recharge our batteries a bit before heading into the fall. The thing about video game news is that like anything else, it works in seasons of dry spells and deluges, and the month of July is a drought of anything worth talking about on the whole. This is mostly due to E3, since the games industry seems to save all its mojo for one special week, and then deals with the announcements for another couple of weeks after. And then the dread silence.



So, we decided that for the podcast, August through E3 will now be a "season" of the show. Which technically makes this season 2, I guess. Welcome! We've got a game of over/under for the first few games of the fall, some talk about Bastion, as well as some silliness about the Nintendo 3DS price drop.



Anyway, you'll see more posts in general around these parts, including the continuation of the weekly podcast. I for one am ready for the Fall of epic gaming to be upon us. Here are the topics for this week's prodigal podcast:
