Eight and a Half Bit

Before totally succumbing to the madness that is the FMVGames livestream chat Paul gets to educate James on how to properly enjoy Gunstar Heroes and in turn James shows Paul how to annihilate planets in a NEW way. Don't forget some excited Finger'ing, impressive Warshifting, manic Pac-man'ing and delve into the madness that is the Sonic Dreams Collection!
