| It's a bit more subtle and not so in-your-face horror, which I

| Is this the same guy that makes song mashups and remixes? If so,
| he is one hell of a creative and high energy person.

| Yes. It's the same Neil Cicierga. The link at the top goes to
| his personal website with mentions of his band, Lemon Demon

| which you'd likely recognize the song _The Ultimate Showdown_
| ) is almost entirely unrelated to his mashup albums (Mouth
| Sounds, Mouth Silence, etc), which he released under his own
| name. He's also the guy behind Potter Puppet Pals.

| This, um, artwork, seems very on-brand. I like it.

| Oh neat! Hope this is okay to share here re: the context; but I

| virtualbox to Archive a bit ago. Was messing around with it for a
| few weeks to try and get an old game my boyfriend wanted to play
| working that ultimately couldn't be achieved.

| The .vhd is immediately bootable; just mess with the settings a
| bit. The .vdi requires you to patch with the FIX95CPU.iso.
|
| Either way, documentation from the sources I used are included in
| the upload.

| Now we just need a way of splicing these into the actual Windows
