Dead Pixels New Episode With Danny! From Double Murder and A Few More Guests!
We have really been cranking out the new podcasts this year, trying to keep you guys happy with plenty to listen to. We really appreciate you guys listening as our fan base is slowly growing and growing. With the loss of the 1up.com podcasts that left a huge hole in video gaming podcasts.
Well in this episode, I was passed out on a cat bed on the floor while the others continued on with the Deadest of Pixels without me. And yes they trash the hell out of me being asleep, but I will defend to the death that working 8 hours plumbing makes a boy tired on a friday at 2am. But I digress, in this episode Kiel/Reset continues on, alongside Danny! , of the Double Murder Podcast, Nev and Dubbs/Ryan who were special guests a few weeks back, and Mike, from our epically long 4 hourish last podcast. This one is sitting at a pretty 1 hour and 32 minutes, and was recorded in Nev’s apartment.
In this episode the boys discuss the original Halloween movie, and the Rob Zombie remake, as Danny had discussed on the last Double Murder. Mike defends Danielle Harris’s boobs, as would I have if I were awake. Left 4 Dead is discussed, the Playstation 3 somewhat being failure, and tons more!

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
