I got my PS3 back from a family member whose BluRay player died. It was in storage for a couple years and then I thought I'd do some much needed maintenance (the fan sounded like a Russian helicopter). Took it apart, cleaned it, refreshed the thermal paste and reassembled. I was a little nervous, but it started up in top form! Apparently those two extra screws left over weren't super important 😬

Anyway... a PS2 classic!

The MAN that had a PLAN.

The Ghost in the Shell has many memorable scenes, but...I never expected this scene to appear on clothing.

Guess thriftbooks were the last to get their back ordered copies, but alas, it's finally here.

I personally would really like to see the series slow down and get a little bit more serious. Yes, I love the silly expressions and the major is very cute, but I think the show could gain a lot by not trying to be a constant goof fest.

I also think a couple more original episodes would be greatly appreciated. The episode showing the backstory of the puppet master was great, and I would have loved to have gotten more.

What do you guys think?

I enjoy creating moral quandaries for my players using the upcoming GitS Arise RPG.

I call this one "Unkillable" and although I think I have some good ideas around it, I really invite other people to help me flesh it out.

Essentially, there is an 'Unkillable' cyborg on Death's Row. He has committed grievous crimes, he has been found guilty, he has pled guilty.

The problem is, that his cyborg system would successfully resist all legal means of execution. His cyborg implants would quite easily defeat drugs or chemicals that would normally be employed. I further suppose that firing squads and guillotines have been ruled out by current politics.

The problem posed to my players, I suppose, is to challenge the suppositions of corporal punishment. To engage them in the idea of what it means for the State to take a life.

Thoughts?

Does anyone know the OST song name for the Koil Krasnov fight in ep.5? Iv searched through the official OST release but can't seem to find a song that matches the one used during this scene.

She was so cool and so sweet. I did a half-assed cosplay of The Major and she pointed out that I was the ONLY one who brought her something Ghost in the Shell related. Speaks to how niche this series has become with modern con-attending anime audiences, but it's nice that she was indeed very passionate about this character and the series. Her voice is the one I hear in my head whenever I re-read the manga.

quick sketch, opinions?

Have a bit of a clear out and rediscovered my old Ghost In The Shell SAC gig 1 & 2 shoulder bags. My favourite one is The Laughing Man one, pity it's quite small.

made an edit for this motoko art!
removed the background and fixed the colors
