Due to some unforeseen audio issues there won't be a new episode of The Backwards Compatible Podcast this week. But fear not! The two Kyle's were able to record a Let's Play for your viewing pleasure. So sit back and prepare to have your pants scared off by "Paranormal"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugnoZSI8RlI

Paranormal is a 3D fully dynamic haunting experience. The player takes the role of Mattel Clark, an artist who has a haunted house. Mattel decides to film the hauntings with his camera, which is the viewpoint of the game. Experience the horrors of a haunting that's never the same twice.
