Welcome to Gaming Meal, a unique show designed to discuss the world of videogames and entertainment. The Gaming Meal is a new site and podcast. On the Gaming Meal Podcast, we will talk about the latest gaming news and go into a in-depth discussion about specific gaming topics that deal with the gaming industry as a whole. We will also be talking movies and other sorts of entertainment news as we evolve and grow. We are calling this episode zero since it is basically our initial test at recording a podcast. 

Full disclosure, we had no plans to record, no outline or script. However, since we were all together talking on May the Fourth 2020 (Obvious Star Wars reference) we decided to do a test recording. In this episode we do quick introductions and talk about gaming reviews, or what we think about the concept of re-reviewing and scoring games after they change over time. Here is the episode.
