==Original Song ==
The original Science Blaster was commissioned by MatPat and premiered by the episode, BioShock, Andrew Ryan's Underwater City. SpellingPhailer posted the completed song a month earlier on Jul 18, 2011 on his personal YouTube channel and Soundcloud. In this description, he stated that MatPat wanted an 'old school feel', hence the chiptunes lofi aesthetic. The sound would be posted again for the short lived channel partner show, Chiptune Tuesday, on Oct 9, 2012.Game Theory Opening Theme, Science Blaster: Chiptune Tuesday-The Game Theorists, posted Oct 9 2012. SpellingPhailer was originally credited as the "Logo and Theme Song Specialist", with Andrew aka Idiot9point0 given the title of Grand Flash Master.
