NO MORE - dashare.zone ADMIN

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

More episodes of sci-fi shows should start with a three minute sitar solo.

Last watch of the day was first episode of The Ghost In The Shell 2026. I'm a big Stand Alone Complex fan, think the 1995 movie is overrated, loved this new version, the humour and fun from the manga is there and I love facial expressions. Looks fantastic, sounds great, looking forward to more.

I've hardly gamed and just watched a bunch of movies and old TV shows over the last couple of weeks. Saw Supergirl and The Lost Boys at the local cinema, the "staff picks" season seems to be doing really well and I'm alreadt bookednfor Shaun Of The Dead, Starship Troopers and Train To Busan.

WEIRD WEDNESDAY #WeirdWednesday

The amount of absolute bollocks happening in the game indistry right now is a big reason why I ended up spending almost all the fun budget for the months on movies on blu ray. I honestly think I've bought my last mainline console at this point amd my future will be my Steam backlog and indies on PC.

Well balls, for the second time in the last five years, had to downgrade my wired earbuds again because the store I have an extended warranty with doesn't stock the ones I had anymore, so I'm now on possibly the cheapest Sony ones, the EX15APs.

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

John Carpenter's The Fog is full of atmosphere and has a great score, but I think the most powerful thing about it is the fact that it treats ghost stories as the inevitable after effect of human greed. They're as foundational as the earth beneath our feet, as elemental as the water in the sea.

FINALLY: FRANK FIGHT

Summer sales pick ups arrived, The Grudge collection (six films) The Ring Collection (four movies including Spiral) and a lovely horror thrillers pack with Wolfen, Innocemt Blood, The Hunger and Body Snatchers 1993. Still got a Rarewaves and Arrow order to arrive.

New hard drive installed, so leaving it backing up the old drive before it completely shoogles off this mortal coil. Friend also dropped off blu ray of Looker, another nifty Michael Crichton sci-fi thriller, although a lot less sci-fi these days.

The 2Tb HDD drive in my PC seems to have finally kicked the bucket, was going to order a used one from CEX at end of the month, but friend happened to be in a localish branch, picking uip a used blu ray for me, so picked a 4Tb one up for me and I'll pay them back.

This is why I love that my local cinema shows at least a couple of old movies a month, from the 30s to the 90s. Many I've seen before, but many I haven't, it gets menout ofnthe house, I get a nice walk and a couple of hours of entertainment.

It's a bridge, it's got Omar Sharif on it, it's...

Decided against ordering Black Flag Resynced as I've still got a dozen other games I should finish off first, including three ACs, two REs, a couple of Star Wars and three Remedy titles. Bought more 4Ks instead. 🤣 So that's Alien, The Warriors, City Of Lost Children and Flash Gordon on the way. 😁

Friends dropped off my 4K blurays he picked up for me, so got plenty to watch while hiding from the heat.

Reiterating: nobody does vehicular assaults like #ddtpro. 😆

Shareholders.

Alternative movie poster of the day 🎥😍 The Devil Rides Out (1968) By Hans Woody

Last night's watch was the second of the three Amicus portmanteau movies I'd not seen, The House That Dripped Blood, another thouroughly enjoyable set of stories with a great cast, even though one tale was obvious where it would end because that promo shot of Ingrid Pitt's been everywhere. :)

Matt Gray's awesome remix of one of the best fighting game tunes ever Rob Hubbard's main theme for International Karate Plus (aka IK+) youtu.be/6M4-vdKNGJo?...

Game companies still chasing after those live service monies after failing multiple times already?

That's Forbidden Planet and the A Better Tomorrow Trilogy getting ordered from Arrow in September, get in!

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

I see Tim Sweeney's havering shite again, must be a month with more than 27 days in it.

Out and about and this tune i'd not heard in years came up on the random play, Blue Amazon's epic remix of Emma Townshend's Five-A-Side Football youtu.be/nJ4hw1LosMw?...

I was thinking this was tomorrow, but nope, game has updated so just as well I polished off the previous Vault Card earlier in the week. :)

Saw Disclosure Day this afternoon, it was alright. Some nice ideas, great cast but I dunno, I expected a bit more from Spielberg. Wasn't quite was I was expecting. COlin Firth and Emily Blunt are both great.

SInce I have all seven of them now, started watching through all the Amicus portmanteau horror films. Wednesday night was Dr Terror's Houre Of Horrors, the first I saw and it's lovely to see it in high quality without the German opening titles and closing, which looked awful on the old DVD.

So since not much in Steam sale apart from pinball stuff, friend was given a list of 4K movies to look out for while they're in London and taking advantage of HMVs 3 for £50 offers, since he was looking for stuff there anyways, and now I've got a lovely big pile of 4Ks on the way.

Nice to see my gunslinger girl Mesa Prime is the free frame for watching this year. She's kind of awesome.

Only 18'C today as opposed to yesterday's 24'C, popping out to get bread and crisps from local Tesco and that's me done for the day. New fan is doing good job of keeping me cool while inside.

Quake released June 22, 1996 in North America Mario 64 released June 23, 1996 in Japan When it comes to the 3rd dimension and the medium of video games, almost everything made since stands on the shoulders of these two titans, and they were released (given the time difference) mere hours apart

I totally forgot about this Red Dwarf thing from 2019. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVdj...

Was going to have a wee moan that there hasn't been much interesting in the current Steam NextFest, partly because the thread on the video game forum I lurk on has been quieter than usual, but then realised I've already downloaded fourteen demos to try and I should just shut the hell up. :P

The demo of Hyper Bun Buster: Rocket Hammer Action is out now in Steam Next Fest! It's top-down arcade bump action game where you play as a bunny girl who uses her huge hammer to hit enemies into other enemies! store.steampowered.com/app/3605570/...

Great interview with special effect legends Brian Johnson youtu.be/g4DywVnoL0Y?... who sadly passed away recently.

So it's official. A legendary VFX wizard has passed away. 😞 Thunderbirds, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Space: 1999, The Empire Strikes Back, Alien, Aliens, Space Truckers, Moon Zero Two, Dragonslayer, DragonHeart, The Neverending Story... Brian Johnson has brought many sci-fi & fantasy dreams to life.

Welp, that's an instant uninstall. (Although it got moved to an external drive a while back and I've not played it in a couple months)

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

Caffy the catfish is the mascot of Shiga Prefecture, where he came out of Lake Biwa. He loves sports but quickly gets tired running around on land (understandably, for a fish).

Oh wow, local cinema has listings up for a classic sci-fi season with Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, It Came From Outer Space and The War Of The Worlds. Get the heck in! *shoogling intensifies*
