shadowhiveThe weekend ended up being extremely low energy at the nights so I didn’t do as much as I’d hoped. I pretty much either crashed energy wise or my eyes went achy or both. So I didn’t do the things I was hoping to do on the nights. Ugh. But I did watch an ep of The Pitt on Friday. (How many scrubs has Whittaker gone through already?)
However this weekend was also summer games fest, which was a load of gaming reveals. Summer Game fest itself was Friday but there were other streams over the weekend. There were plenty of interesting games revealed including, but not limited to.
*Star Trek Shadow Frontier, a Star Trek horror game with Ro Laren
*Clockwork Revolution, a cool steampunky time travel game (with a robot dog!)
*Fable, a new trailer revealing Hayley Atwell is playing the villain
*Grace Seasons, a Stardew type farming game… that’s also a murder mystery
*Bad Magpie, a game where you play as a mischievous magpie (giving Untitled Goose Game vibes)
*vivarium, a beautiful looking hand drawn game that gives Ghibli vibes
*Alien Isolation 2 and Control Reaonant (both making me wanna go back the original games)
*Saw Genesis, a Saw game set… 100 years ago which ??
Plus there were new trailers for Star Wars Galactic Racer (ahhh a nautolan!) and Zero Company which both look cool.
(I’m so sure I’ve forgotten so many other cool/interesting games, I know I missed at least two. Showcases cause I didn’t realise they were on).
Plus the wholesome direct has tees with proceeds going to a trans charity.
Nintendo has a direct coming tomorrow so I’m hoping for some good reveals there too. (I still need Hyrule Warriors)
Today was a trip to town which I wasn’t sure would happen (cause of rain and feeling off last night). It was Ocean with David Attenborough and Scary Movie which was a weird contrast, it was also funny both were on the same screen and I was only one seat away from where I sat in each.
The most exciting thing trailers wise was seeing a trailer for Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma because it meant we’ve getting a uk release for it. I didn’t think we would, especially with Leviticus being a no show but it seems we are. I’m so curious about it, it looks so weird. (Plus Gillian Anderson is always a plus)
Ocean was a nature documentary about, well oceans. I had expected it to be more about the wonders of the ocean but it was actually more to do with us fucking it over. Especially with trawlers, who completely destroy the sea bed rendering it barren.
However despite it being depressing (and showing how humans are fucking things up) there was some hope, showing how the ocean can bounce back.
There was an area that had been overfished, so the urchins the fish ate decimated a kelp forest. It was made into a no catch zone and within five years the kelp forest was back. It (and other examples) shows just how things can be repaired if we just leave them alone and protect areas.
However you just have to look at Trump to see how protections can be meaningless. It feels every few days a new protection or something is being ripped up and, while not bought up in the documentary itself, is just proof that humans will fuck things up. (It was also a depressing thing in one of my uni courses, how a change in governments often result in weakened protections which… ugh)
Scary Movie was, of course, completely different. It was pretty much a parody of Scream (2022) and then sections of it doing that were pretty good. However some sections really felt shoehorned in just for the sake of it, like the Sinners church scene and the substance one. (And yeah it’s been awhile since I’be seen the others so that might be a common thing in the others.)
It did make me laugh sometimes but some of it also didn’t land (or even felt more mean spirited than funny), but then that’s the nature of stuff like this.
There are two mid credit sequences both which felt so random. Apparently they were meant to be in the main film but were switched out.
Apparently it has been doing well though, according to the cinema guy that came in as I was leaving, it and Digital Circus has done really well on the weekend, as had Masters Of The Universe (which is good I’m guessing it was just the time I went that was quiet, which was a weekday afternoon).
The whole trip today ended up being free cause the ticket machines were out of order and the food in Burger King was a points redeem. (I’d gave got a demogorgon figure from smyths but it seems none were there despite the site saying they had 2)
Next cinema trip should be Saturday which’ll be Disclosure Day along with Mandalorian and Grogu, then maybe Angel’s Egg Wednesday (depending on mood, maybe with something else when listings go up, I might rewatch Masters Of The Universe if I can).
When I got back there was a letter and, ugh. It’s another hospital appointment and this time it’s late. But I also noticed it said it’s the exact same test I had when I was there last time. So I’m gonna call up tomorrow after the library stint and a: find out if it’s a mistake and 2: see if there’s a better time. I’m thinking it might be a,test in the same department just another machine, but if so why couldn’t they have done that last time? Ugh it’s so annoying (plus it’s next week which is part good cause momey will be in, but part annoying).
Also apparently there’s a new Poirot series coming from the bbc? Which will be.. interesting.
Tonight I’m gonna rest up for library/call/Nintendo direct.

Date: 2026-06-09 01:39 pm (UTC)I’m glad I saw them though I have to admit I do wanna set fire to smash up some trawlers (so I guess it’s best I’m away from the sea!)
I tend to go for one of the back few rows, where I tend to go depends on if there’s already seats booked, like I avoid being in the middle if there’s people either side. It’ll be interesting going through the tickets to see how close I sit together on them
