Pixel x Pixel Episode 80

It’s time for another episode of Pixel x Pixel – our first regular format episode of 2022!

Anne finished her playthrough of Garage: Bad Dream Adventure and wrote a review to gush about this release many seem to have missed… Plus, the two commit to recording a special spoiler episode of the podcast on Garage in just a week’s time! All that plus some shows, some movies, and a variety of Notable News in this week’s episode of the pod.
