The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. August 8-10, 1986: Is Transformers: The Movie some childhood nostalgia or genuinely landmark film? Can the Better Off Dead crew deliver magic again? How’s Spike Lee’s first film fare after 40 years? Can Ted Danson & Howie Mandel become the next Laurel & Hardy? We answer these tough questions and more! We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode Ryan Verrill, co-founder of Antenna Releasing, joins the podcast. He brings along the movie The Last Stop in Yuma County. Marty and Clif give Ryan the movie Streets of Fire to watch.Before diving into this week's picks, Ryan talks physical media, boutique Blu-rays and what it takes to launch a new independent film distribution company. First up is Streets of Fire, Walter Hill's neon-soaked rock 'n' roll fairy tale starring Michael Paré, Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe. Clif, Marty and Ryan celebrate the film's unforgettable visual style, killer soundtrack, larger-than-life characters and why this gloriously over-the-top cult classic still feels perfectly '80s. Then it's on to The Last Stop in Yuma County, the tense crime thriller from Francis Galluppi. With Ryan having worked alongside Galluppi through Antenna Releasing, the discussion offers a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the film's journey to audiences, while also celebrating its sharp writing, terrific ensemble cast and expertly sustained tension. Along the way: physical media collecting, puddles as cinematography, music videos hiding inside movies and a lot of Walter Hill appreciation.#TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #StreetsOfFire #TheLastStopInYumaCounty #RyanVerrill #AntennaReleasing #PhysicalMedia #MovieReview Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookX (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Reorganizace Xboxu pokračuje. O práci přišlo 1600 lidí a stejný počet bude následovat v dalších měsících. Divize se ztenčí o pět studií. Microsoft se chce dále soustředit na velké značky. Chystá pokračování The Elder Scrolls, Falloutu nebo Dooma. Jen si nejsme jistí, jestli po čistce bude mít tyto hry kdo vyvíjet. Škrty mimořádně zasáhly např. legendární id Software. Hlavním tématem tohoto Podcastu Živě je ale smrt her na fyzických nosičích. Sony od ledna 2028 nové hry nebude vydávat na Blu-ray. Vyhne se tak třetím stranám a bazarům. Zisky ale může navýšit i vlastní cenotvorbou, kterou bude mít plně pod kontrolou. Je to právě Sony, které se navíc proslavilo tím, že z účtů maže zakoupený obsah. Nemáme z toho dobrý pocit. Plně digitální distribuce skrze jedinou platformu je pohromou z pohledu archivace kulturního dědictví. Jak ostatně vidíme na nedávno ukončeném digitálním katalogu her pro PlayStation 3 a PS Vita, tisíce her najednou zmizí a nikdo další se k nim už nedostane. Situaci komentuje Martin Nahodil, šéfredaktor magazínu Doupě.cz. Program pořadu 01:26 – Xbox propustil 1600 lidí 07:56 – Strach o id Software 24:00 – Sony zruší hry na Blu-ray 30:03 – Mamon 38:14 – Smrt krabicovek 55:44 – Sony rádo maže

Written by Stephen King and starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, and Mark Hamill. Extra special topics include Taco Bell, an amazing Blu-ray giveaway, and Philmont Scout Ranch. Next week we head back to the theaters to watch the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day starring Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink.

Bleach TYBW Part 4 Episode 1 is finally here, and Yoruichi's GOD OF THUNDER transformation completely stole the premiere! The final cour is also officially confirmed to contain only 10 episodes. In this episode of Bleach Boys, we review Episode 41, “GOD OF THUNDER,” including Yhwach's nightmare, Uryu vs. Jugram Haschwalth, the Visored vs. Gerard Valkyrie, Ichigo princess-carrying Orihime, and Chad and Ganju confronting the Wahr Welt statues. We also break down Yoruichi's feral thunder-cat transformation against Askin Nakk Le Vaar, Kisuke Urahara's unforgettable return, and the new “I-BULL” opening and “RASEN” ending as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity officially begins.We then examine the official Blu-ray and DVD listing for Episodes 41–50, finally settling the 10-versus-13-episode debate, and ask whether The Calamity has enough time to deliver its expanded anime-original finale. Tite Kubo's latest Klub Outside answers also confirm that White Ichigo and Old Man Zangetsu remain separate within Ichigo's inner world and fuse only during battle. Kubo also explains the “Soul Suicide” incident referenced during Turn Back the Pendulum and reveals whether Soul Reaper captains go home or sleep in their barracks. Plus, we cover the new Bleach: Mirrors High characters Naru Jurinna, Giro Hando, and Maiko Tokishima, all designed by Tite Kubo, along with Kubo's new Yushiro artwork.

Send us Fan MailWhen the National Park Service added hydrogen peroxide to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the internet immediately decided it had found the culprit behind the peeling coating.But science doesn't work that way.In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a research-first approach to one of the most discussed pool stories of the year. Instead of asking whether hydrogen peroxide caused a coating failure, he asks a different question:Why was hydrogen peroxide chosen in the first place?Drawing from published scientific literature on cyanobacteria, harmful algal blooms, microbiology, biofilms, and water treatment, Rudy explores how hydrogen peroxide affects microorganisms, why mature biofilms are so difficult to eliminate, and why swimming pool professionals may need to rethink the way they've approached "black algae" for decades.This isn't a product pitch.It isn't a treatment recommendation.And it certainly isn't clickbait.It's an evidence-based discussion designed to separate what science has demonstrated from what still remains a hypothesis.The episode also introduces the first part of Rudy's proposed research protocol—a hypothesis assembled from published mechanisms that has not been validated in controlled swimming pool research—and explains exactly where established science ends and new investigation begins.If you're tired of opinions masquerading as facts, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeWhy the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was treated with hydrogen peroxideWhy concentration matters more than percentageCorrelation versus causation in coating failuresWhat published research says about hydrogen peroxide and cyanobacterial bloomsThe difference between free-floating algae and mature cyanobacterial biofilmsHow extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protect biofilmsWhy oxidants often struggle against established biofilmsThe biology behind oxidative stressPhotosystem II, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage explainedWhy mature biofilms deserve to be studied separatelyWhy Rudy believes better questions lead to better scienceThe first step in a proposed research protocol using aluminum sulfateWhy coagulation and physical removal may reduce oxidant demand before disinfectionWhere the published literature ends—and where hypothesis generation beginsKey TakeawayScience advances by asking better questions—not by rushing to conclusions.This episode doesn't claim to have solved black algae. It challenges listeners to examine what the published research actually supports, recognize the limits of current knowledge, and think critically about where future swimming pool research should go.SponsorsSpecial thanks to the companies that support education and the advancement of the swimming pool industry:Blu-ray XLUnited ChemicalLaMotte CompanyRevved Up ApparelAqua Comfort Water GroupAquaStar Pool ProductsJack's Magic ProductsService Industry NewsConnect with Talking Pools

Wir mögen physische Medien – auch wenn Sony ab 2028 keine Spiele auf Blu-rays mehr ausliefern will. Dazu passend soll „GTA 6“ jetzt wirklich am 19. November erscheinen, so langsam wird es ernst für „Squadron 42“, die Singleplayer-Kampagne von „Star Citizen“. Für Stuttgart 21 wird es das schon seit Jahren – ob der Bahnhof vor Chris Roberts Weltraumepos fertig wird? Jürgen und Roland debattieren über die Folgen einer scheibenlosen Zukunft, einer möglichen PlayStation 6 und den Spielen, die wir bis dahin und darüber hinaus noch spielen dürfen. Und über die sogenannte Gesundheitsreform und ihre Kapriolen. Reale Kapriolen finden in San Francisco statt: Die Freunde des Urbanen Waldes fräsen Löcher in Bürgersteige und pflanzen Bäume. Dazu kommen Verkehrsdramen vor dem Westküstenstudio während der Aufnahme, die Jürgen beim Schnitt dieser Folge den Schweiß auf die Stirn treiben sollen. Zurück zu den Spielen: Microsoft macht Studios dicht, die in vielen Jahren keine Hits auf die Kette bekommen haben. Jürgen hat das Ocean-Buch von Chris Wilkins bekommen und erzählt, wie die britische Firma ein Spiel in vier Wochen produziert hat. Roland ergänzt Erinnerungen an einen Ocean-Event mit Spielen, Musik und Tanz im historischen Rathaus von Manchester – und stellt fest, dass besagtes Buch von Fusion Retro Books seit 2015 in seinem Regal steht. Außerdem berichtet er von einer neuen C-64-Doku von Gracious Films. Apropos Bücher: Gleich zwei Regale hat sich Roland geschnappt, um Herr der Bücherstapel auf dem Fußboden zu werden, und wir sprechen über „Dungeon Crawler Carl“, „Rom, das bin ich“, „Der Kaiser von Rom“, „Die Schwartau-Schwestern“ und „Die sieben letzten Jahre“. Ebenfalls Thema: Lord British, „Star Trek: Prodigy“ und Big Boy No. 4014. Und „A Good Day to Die Hard“. (Aufgenommen am 3. Juli 2026)

The dust has settled, the hiatus is officially over, and we are back in the studio! On this long-awaited episode of The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are catching up on where we've been, what we've been up to, and why we're hitting the ground running. We dive straight into the recent industry shifts and a rising retro trend that have pushed us back to buying physical media—from killer special features to the satisfaction of actually owning your music and movies on disc and vinyl. We're also talking about some of our absolute favorite metal concert releases on Blu-ray, DVD, and VHS that belong on every headbanger's shelf. And finally, the moment you've been waiting for: Case Closed! We are officially solving a long-standing mystery that has been an inside joke with Rex and Duff for decades regarding a horror character's hat and how it clearly indicates his love of a certain band. Its tie to the heavy metal scene and how the truth is finally revealed!

In this emotional episode of the Just Tap In Podcast, Emilio Ortiz sits down with dear friends Blu (Blu of Earth, Host of Deja Blu Podcast) and Lily Ashwell for an exploration of astrology, tarot, creativity, evolution, and the deeper intelligence moving through our lives. Blu is a visionary creator whose journey into legal deafness opened a world of frequency, resonance, light language, and perception. Lily is an astrologer and artist whose healing journey with Lyme disease became a spiritual cocoon of study, art, and devotion. Together, they reveal the three-year process behind their human-made tarot creation, shaped through journeys to Glastonbury, Egypt, the Amazon rainforest, and Topanga. They share how offerings, guidance, synchronicities, and angelic light became woven into the project, and why meaningful creation cannot simply be generated—it must be embodied.✦ Join the waiting list for the Blu & Lily's We Are Heavenly Bodies Tarot Deck | https://www.weareheavenlybodies.com/The conversation then opens into the astrology of July 17, when Pluto and Uranus form a perfect trine Lily describes as a checkpoint for the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s. Blu & Lily explore why the Tower may be the tarot archetype of our time revealing what is rotten at the root so false systems can transform. They unpack tarot not as prediction, but as a mirror that helps us meet the future; redefine abundance as alignment and right relationship; and speak candidly about friendship, shadow work, AI, synthetic culture, and the choice between the authentic and artificial. From Blu learning to listen beyond words, to the “future human,” Wheel of Fortune, intergalactic consciousness, and a new cycle, this episode invites us to trust uncertainty and become a clear vessel for something greater.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Blu of Earth x Lily Ashwell Intro1:03 - The Tarot Card That Represents Humanity Right Now4:24 - July 17: A Revolutionary Astrological Turning Point11:02 - Can Tarot Reveal What You Already Know?17:58 - The Universe Card & Completing the Hero's Journey20:08 - Glastonbury, Egypt & the Amazon: Creating Through Initiation32:31 - The Angelic Flash Caught Inside the Art Studio40:07 - Light Language & the World of Frequency45:30 - Mercury Cazimi & the Evolution of the Future Human49:00 - The Ten of Discs: Abundance Through Alignment50:06 - Why Emotional Regulation Is the New Wealth52:09 - Loving the Parts of Yourself You Want to Reject58:29 - Meeting the Wounded Eight-Year-Old Within1:02:16 - Conscious Relationships, Triggers & the Blame Game1:05:20 - How Sisterhood Forged a Legacy Project1:07:25 - Nine of Cups: Overflow, Blessings & Emotional Alchemy1:11:50 - Emilio Pulls the Wheel of Fortune1:13:03 - The Wheel Is Turning: Trusting Life's Uncertainty1:18:23 - The Age of Aquarius, AI & Humanity's Higher Mind1:25:53 - Disclosure & Our Intergalactic Civilization1:32:14 - Humanity's Choice: Authentic or Synthetic?1:35:39 - Telepathy, Tinnitus & the Future Human1:38:43 - Choosing Authenticity ___________________Guest: Blu of Earth ✦ Website | https://www.bluofearth.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bluofearth/✦ Substack | https://substack.com/@bluofearth Guest: Lily Ashwell ✦ Website | https://www.lilyashwell.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lilyashwell/✦ Substack | https://lilyashwell.substack.com/Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz ___________________© 2025 Emilio Ortiz.

Movie fandom has changed dramatically over the last few decades—but when did everything become so divided? In this video, The 2 hosts take a look at the rise of toxic fandom in film culture, exploring how movie discussions evolved from friendly debates in magazines, conventions and video stores into today's world of social media outrage, review bombing, online arguments and culture wars. We'll discuss questions such as: When did toxic fandom really begin? Has social media made movie discussions worse? Is criticism being confused with toxicity? Are studios helping or hurting the situation? Can fans disagree without attacking each other? Is there a way back to enjoying movies together? From classic franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Marvel, DC, and many others, we'll examine how passionate fan communities have changed over time and whether modern fandom has become more about winning arguments than celebrating the films we love. This isn't about taking sides it's about having an honest conversation about where movie fandom has been, where it is today, and where it might be heading in the future. I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts in the comments: When did you first notice toxic fandom? Has it affected your enjoyment of movies? Can respectful debate still exist online? What are your favourite positive fan communities? If you enjoy thoughtful movie discussions, classic cinema, Blu-ray reviews, physical media collecting and conversations about film culture, please consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and joining the discussion.

Jim Hill and Dan Graney return from the Fourth of July weekend with Avengers on the brain, Spider-Man breaking trailer records, and X-Men '97 stretching Marvel history across thousands of years. They dig into the rumored new Endgame Encore tag, how Spider-Man: Brand New Day may be quietly setting up the MCU's mutant era, and why X-Men '97 Season 2 feels like both a great show and a smart primer for Doomsday. Then Jim and Dan crown their first-ever Doctor Doom of the Week as Sony's latest digital ownership moves spark a bigger conversation about physical media, preservation, and the original 1977 Star Wars returning to theaters. NEWS • Avengers: Endgame Encore is headed back to theaters with new footage, a fresh intro, and an exclusive end tag tied to Avengers: Doomsday. • Jim and Dan revisit their Doctor Doom theory as fans wonder whether Tony Stark's famous hammering sound could be recontextualized for Victor von Doom. • Spider-Man: Brand New Day is breaking trailer records while hinting at mutating DNA, Damage Control, inhibitor tech, and the MCU's coming mutant era. • Tom Holland says he wants to help bring Miles Morales into the MCU, echoing the mentor role Robert Downey Jr. played for him. • X-Men '97 Season 2 launches with a time-hopping three-episode premiere that moves from the future to 1997 to ancient Egypt. FEATURE • Sony earns the first Doctor Doom of the Week title after paid digital movies begin disappearing from PlayStation libraries due to expired licensing. • Jim and Dan unpack why GTA 6's reported physical release raises concerns about empty boxes, download codes, and the decline of game discs. • The conversation turns to preservation, ownership, and what gets lost when digital storefronts replace shelves of movies, games, and Blu-rays. • Disney's planned IMAX release of the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars offers a hopeful counterpoint for fans of film history and physical media.

This week we talk about Sony, Nintendo, and the Playstation.We also discuss Grand Theft Auto, the 3DO, and digital dark ages.Recommended Book: 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years by John ScalziTranscriptThe earliest video game consoles that were made to be used in the home, as opposed to being set up in an arcade, were hardwired like their arcade kin. That means rather than being able to play a bunch of different games, they were basically just single-game boxes: you would buy a machine that allowed you to play Pong, for instance, and if you wanted to play another game, even by the same maker, Atari, you would have to buy another whole console with its own screen, controls, etc, to do so.That was the state of the art in the early to mid 1970s. By the late-70s, the concept of swappable games became reality with the introduction of what are called ROM cartridges. ROM stands for read-only memory and is a type of storage common in computers and other devices, which allows whatever you store on it to persist, which is a contrast to RAM, which is the type of memory that determines how much you can do on a device at any given moment, and which disappears when the device is turned off.So these ROM cartridges were kind of like the portion of the hard drive that's used to boot up your computer, storing the bare-basics of the system so it can be initialized and understand how to run all the other software that builds upon that baseline. And that memory was stored in durable, plastic cases that made them usable by ordinary, non-techy people. You could buy a game and handle the cartridge, popping it into your game console hardware and removing it, to make way for another game, over and over and over again, and that use would be unlikely to damage the ROM chip.This same general format was flexible enough that it lasted through the mid-90s, the capacity of the ROM chip continuing to grow as the associated tech improved, and the capabilities of the central console hardware that used these cartridges became more sophisticated. Upgrades were slowly added to the innards of the plastic case, as well, including things like battery backups that enabled saved games, and the Super Nintendo's Super FX chip, which enabled 3D graphics that would have otherwise been impossible with the contemporary state of the art.The next generation of gaming consoles relied on another medium, though, and one that had several benefits over the long-lived game cartridge.CD-ROM discs, which were flat, circular, and contained information that was encoded and read with lasers, had been around in some form since the late-1980s, and were even used in a few early gaming consoles, like the PC Engine CD-ROM, which barely anyone bought, and the Sega-CD add-on for the Sega Genesis, and 3DO consoles, which a few more, but still relatively few people purchased.The release of the first Sony Playstation, now known as the PS1, in 1994 changed that, though, and this shift was partially the result of Sony's impressive game lineup, but was also due to the strength of the CD medium. Each CD-ROM could hold 650-700 MB of information, which was more than 100-times the capacity of the competing Nintendo 64's cartridges.There were downsides to this new standard; CD-ROMs were less durable than plastic-encased cartridges, and they were very slow to load, as well, because information stored in ROM chips could be more or less instantly booted, while the info stored on discs had to be spun up and read first, resulting in sluggish load screens throughout the gaming experience, and especially on the initial boot-up of the system.That said, the far superior storage, and the dramatically reduced cost of these laser-etched discs—cartridges could cost $15-20 apiece to manufacture, while CD-ROMs often cost pennies apiece—that triggered a rapid transition in the gaming world to this new medium. Handheld consoles stuck with cartridges for a lot longer, due to the nature of the use-case and difficulties associated with trying to use spinning discs in portable hardware, but everyone else moved to discs pretty rapidly, after Sony proved the utility of the model, and many aspects of video gaming were upgraded as a result of all that additional storage capacity.That capacity continued to grow as CD-ROM were replaced with DVDs, which could hold 4.7-8.5 GB per disc, again, up from 650-700 MB; the industry made that change in the years 2000 and 2001, with the PS2 and Xbox consoles. And then in 2006, the PS3 moved to Blu-ray discs, which could hold a whopping 25-50 GB per disc, once again resetting gaming expectations—though Xbox stuck with DVDs, and Nintendo's Wii, Wii U, and Gamecube consoles used proprietary disc formats that had a lot lower capacity compared to their competition.Leading into the 2010s, even those Blu-rays were straining under the weight of some big-name, AAA games, some of which required multiple discs and mandatory hard drive installs from those discs, because the scope of these gaming worlds and their high-end graphics required just a stunning amount of space.Video game companies had already started making the shift to digital products in the early 2000s, though, Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Store emerging in 2005 and 2006 respectively, and Steam, which popped up in 2003, was making digital downloads for games common on PCs several years earlier.Digital became even more popular in the 20-teens, and in 2020, digital sales of console games surpassed physical sales for the first time. The PS5 and Xbox Series S shipped console versions without disc drives for the first time, and many physical games became basically methods of checking a game's license, to ensure it's not pirated, because the discs installed the game on the console's hard drive, just like a download, anyway.What I'd like to talk about today is the perhaps natural next step in this transition: a recent announcement by Sony that they'll no longer be making disc-based Playstation games beginning in 2028, and why some critics are calling this a worrying and anti-consumer move.—On July 1, 2026, Sony announced that's it's going all-in on digitally delivered games. It will halt production of game discs beginning in January of 2028, and after that, customers will only be able to purchase new games digitally, via their Playstation Store and retailers.This follows another recent announcement by game company Rockstar Games that their massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI game, which is set to hit digital shelves on November 19 of this year, will not be available on disc at all; it will be downloadable, and the physical copies customers can buy in stores won't be physical copies at all: it will be a box with a download code inside, which amounts to the same thing—you use the code to download the game, exactly the same as if you had bought it online, but with packaging for that code.That's a big deal because the Grand Theft Auto series is one of the biggest and most popular series in gaming history; other game makers have been scrambling to adjust their own release dates so as not to overlap with this new, highly anticipated game's release; it's expected to be an absolutely massive moment in the gaming world when this new entry in the series finally lands.That said, the writing has been on the wall for the transition to digital games for a while, now. Game company Capcom recently announced that 93% of its game sales were digital in its last fiscal year, and other companies have reported similar numbers; it's currently around 85% for Sony. As a result, many consoles are now shipping models without disc drives, and some, like the recently announced Steam Machine, don't even have a disc-drive version.Digital games are also cheaper to make because the company behind them only has to provide download keys, rather than having to pay some amount for each and every physical item produced, packaged, and shipped, and these companies, and the retailers that sell their games, will never run out of a popular game, which might otherwise be an issue for big released like the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto.There are quite a few downsides to the digitization of games, though, including that in many cases, you don't actually own the games you buy, you just own a license to download and play them. That means if licensing changes, or the storefront through which you bought a game closes, you will likely lose access to that game you bought, without getting any kind of refund.If your account is banned or you lose access to your account for some reason, all your games will suddenly be inaccessible, too. If you don't have access to the internet, allowing your console to phone home and check to make sure you're not pirating things on a regular basis, that might also mean no gaming for you.Almost always, you can't sell or trade digital games, while physical games allow for a thriving secondary market, often allowing gamers to buy old discs and cartridges decades after a game was released, and often for far lower prices. Many of these games can even be played by later consoles that have back-compatibility.Doing away with discs and other physical media is great for companies like Sony, then, because they no longer have to pay to create the individual discs, no longer have to pay for the drives that play the discs, so the price of making consoles drops a bit, and it also means that secondary market for games goes away: if you want to play old games, you have to buy them from Sony, and all those used games already on the secondary market, or a game disc borrowed from a friend, are no longer competition for them, serving as alternatives to the digital version they'd prefer to sell you.Another bigger-picture concern here, though, is that this will make game preservation efforts a lot more difficult, and for many of the same reasons it will make maintaining a library and back-catalog of games difficult for consumers.Often, when a video game store shuts down, either for economic reasons or because it sells content for devices that are no longer maintained, those games and other content also go away. Sometimes they can remain on those older devices, and sometimes the digital rights management software, the DRM in that content and on those devices auto-deletes games from the hardware.Right now, for instance, Sony is saying that after it halts digital sales of PS3 and Vita games, that halting taking place over the next year, players will still be able to download their previously purchased content for the foreseeable future. That ‘foreseeable future' phrasing is doing a lot of work, there, though, and historically this kind of shut down has eventually become a full shut down, a lot of games, those that haven't been carried over to new stores to be played as vintage options on newer consoles, have simply disappeared; maybe still existing on some old hardware somewhere, if it wasn't deleted by DRM, but maybe not. In either case, preserving that software for historic research and archiving purposes becomes very difficult and expensive, at least compared to archiving the same game on a disc or cartridge.That closure of the PS3 and Vita stores, for example, is expected to result in the loss of about 2,200 digital-only games that will no longer be available for purchase, and of those, about 138 are not available on any other platform, and will thus essentially disappear.This game industry concern echoes larger concerns about what's called a digital dark age: a moment in time, maybe just a few years, maybe a few decades long during which a whole lot of the content that was created and available, disappears, possibly because of outdated file formats, maybe because the storage mediums that were used didn't hold up over time, or possibly because the data from the era was somehow corrupted, encrypted, or decayed.There's concern that a whole lot of information from the early personal computing era will disappear from historical records, for instance, because the floppy disks on which a lot of that information was stored are obsolete and thus increasingly difficult to access; few people have hardware that allows them to use floppy disks, these days.CD-ROMs, DVDs, and other optical discs are also a concern because of so-called disc rot, which refers to the chemical degradation of this storage medium. Many such discs are prone to failure because of light damage, the oxidation of their reflective layer, and the de-bonding of the adhesive that was used to hold the disc's multiple layers together.A lot of seemingly archival media might then degrade, even after being stored in a seemingly long-term fashion, which could also contribute to a dark age moment, a whole period's worth of data and entertainment and art lost because the CDs and DVDs on which they were stored simply fell apart before they could be converted to a longer-form medium. This could serve as an argument in favor of digitization, then, because many of the mediums on which these games are currently stored might degrade, anyway, and moving them to hard drives, rather than discs, could serve as a superior long-term home.That said, the concern with digitizing everything is similar, in that media made available for online purchase is simply stored in a hard drive somewhere else on the planet. If something happens to the data centers in which these games are stored, or those data centers are needed for another, more profitable purpose, or a bunch of them are destroyed in a conflict, that could result in the same outcome as disc rot and the storage of data in formats that are no longer accessible.It also makes these games susceptible to economics, though, because if the company behind them decides it's time to move on, there won't be physical copies archivists can scoop up and save; they could try to download these games, but often the nature of the software, of the DRM that keeps them from being pirated, hinders or prevents such efforts.The digitization of gaming and the shift away from physical copies of games seems to be inevitable at this point, and there are a lot of good economic, technological, and convenience reasons for it.There are quite a few downsides to this evolution as well, though, including those that negatively impact game consumers, alongside many of the same issues that threaten other types of media and data. And we don't, technologically or civilizationally, have solutions for those problems yet. And that gap could someday result in massive gulfs in our knowledge and documentation of this moment in video gaming history.Show Noteshttps://blog.archive.org/2026/04/23/gone-but-not-forgotten-recovering-the-dead-web/https://www.engadget.com/2207297/playstation-just-struck-a-hammer-blow-to-game-preservation/https://www.engadget.com/forza-horizon-4-will-be-pulled-from-digital-stores-and-game-pass-in-december-134510642.htmlhttps://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/03/why-game-archivists-are-dreading-this-months-3ds-wii-u-eshop-shutdown/https://www.engadget.com/2205792/sony-will-stop-making-disc-based-playstation-games-starting-2028/https://www.engadget.com/2207546/sony-repurposing-austrian-playstation-disc-factory/https://www.engadget.com/2206315/xbox-is-reportedly-testing-a-way-to-digitize-your-disc-based-games/https://www.engadget.com/2205792/sony-will-stop-making-disc-based-playstation-games-starting-2028/https://www.theverge.com/report/960173/microsoft-xbox-disc-to-digital-feature-physical-game-collectionhttps://www.theverge.com/games/956389/grand-theft-auto-6-gta-digital-code-in-box-physical-gameshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_dark_agehttps://longnow.org/ideas/shining-a-light-on-the-digital-dark-age/https://www.americanscientist.org/article/avoiding-a-digital-dark-agehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoleshttps://www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/history-of-game-media/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot This is a public episode.
