Twilight Zone movie.

Watched alone on dark night.

The part when the lady visits the house, where the family is terrified of putting a foot out of line.

That has the most distasteful feeling of dread. Really well done, not for kids!

Finding some conclusive supporting material about the (as yet unsolved) Voynich Manuscript.

Either, enough information to decode a possible cypher, or proof that it is an elaborate troll/hoax/joke.

Could be the 'Rosetta Stone moment' of the modern era.

Alternatively, a program that is a wrapper for your entire browser/device, that observes video and audio, to automatically carry out the blanking/muting.

Ads load as normally, but are never seen or heard by the user.

Theoretically, an air-gapped system that is worn on the head, rather than installed to the device would be undetectable.

An AR vision headset that detected known-ad-signatures and could blank or replace ads in realtime, with targetted noise-cancelling to 'mute' specific ad audio, could surgically remove ads from any media(billboard, magazine, video, radio, webpage).

Kind of like reverse-Snowcrash augmentation.

Sparked the worldwide anime boom, so yeah, pretty iconic.

I saw a warning-documentary 2 weeks ago on the big-screen, it was called 'John Carpenter's The Thing'

Leave that shit well alone.

Exciting hour(aka Mat Mania) was awesome for the time.

Fast paced and difficult, until you work out their attacks.

I'm counting Discs of Tron as a sport.

Very fun disc battles.

More unknown and underappreciated in the current era, than underappreciated at release.

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe on Amiga, was an outstanding future brawl-ball simulator.

The arcade version of Cyberball has very clean gameplay with a wry sense of humour.

Side-by-side play is excellent on a Cyberball 2072 cabinet.

The spiritual predecessor, 10 Yard Fight, is pretty fun too(shake joystick to break tackles)

 

(Full disclosure, I learned this yesterday.)
