## Resource

HEY FOLKS, SHY FOX HERE! The next season of Fix Your Heart Or Die! is coming next week, with our deep-dive on the fascinatingly-Lynchian anime Serial Experiments Lain ! In the meantime, spooky season is coming up, so we thought we would share another perfectly-themed BONUS EPISODE from our archives. In another life, I hosted a show called "the Dead Pixels Podcast" with a friend I met in the Sterling/Jonathan "Shattered" community. This show aimed to find the best qualities of bad games, and find out what made them special even if the end-result was less-than-ideal. This early installment saw myself and Allen Ortega looking on the Sunsoft-sponsored bright side of 2 of the darkest 8-bit games: Fester's Quest and Gremlins 2: The New Batch . Please enjoy another weird old show from our bygone era, as you ask yourselves: "What Year Is It?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
