The GamerSushi Show, Ep 6: Fresh Coat of Free

It's really hard to believe that we're now on podcast number 6, but we're back this week with a brand new edition The GamerSushi Show, ready for your ears and scrutiny. You'll notice a couple of things that are different in this episode, namely the awesome new theme song that Jace Ford wrote for us, which to me is absolutely perfect. Anyone that speaks against it will face the back of my hand. Also, Anthony was sick so he couldn't make this week, and his absence was definitely felt, but he'll be back for the next one.



In this episode, we cover a variety of topics as always, which may or may not include the death of 1 vs 100, remakes of old games and Alien Swarm. Apparently when we recorded this, the phrases "fresh coat of paint" and "free" became our favorite words ever, because we say them no less than a million times each during the course of it. Seriously, if you are of drinking age, you should play a drinking game that revolves around each time we say either of those things. You will get plastered.



Anyway, as we requested last time, you should definitely go rate the podcast on iTunes if you haven't done so already. Enjoy!
