Carmageddon is back and bloodier than ever! ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we’re diving into Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, the new roguelite spin on the classic death-racing series, heading to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026. We’ll talk post-apocalyptic zombie hordes, brutal car combat, and whether this new direction can really bring Carmageddon roaring back to life. Then we’re jumping over to Stranger Things season 5, where a “totally unforgivable” NES blooper has retro gamers laughing, groaning, and nitpicking frame-by-frame. We’ll break down the Ghosts ’n Goblins arcade/console mix-up and why tiny details like this matter so much to ’80s kids and cartridge purists. Finally, we look at a decade-long retrobrighting study that suggests our beloved console-whitening tricks might actually be doing more harm than good. From a poor Dreamcast shell to streaking, blotching, and worse yellowing over time, we’ll talk about what this means for restoring (or not restoring) your aging plastic hardware. If you love retro gaming, weird tech experiments, and catching every tiny on-screen mistake, you’re in the right place. Hit play, share with a fellow retro nut, and let us know in the comments: Are you hyped for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift—and will you still risk retrobrighting your gear?
