    Doctor Who Children in Need - Why have one Doctor, when you can have two?

    News can be found here and here. Just so you know, I never was a big fan of the Fifth Doctor. He was a little too bland and wishy washy for my taste, and was never much of a doer like his other incarnations. Still, after hearing this news, just one thought popped in my head: AWESOME. :)

    JK Rowling reveals Hogwarts secret

    :confused: Eh? This news just provoked a certified "What the Hell?" response from me. Was Miss Rowling wanting to make a point here? Then again, I'd have to give kudos to her that she never revealed it until now. It's seems many fiction writers nowadays just write gay people in their stories...

    EA buys Bioware (and Pandemic)

    Well I can certainly understand where you're coming from takyris. If the EA purchase of Bioware guarantees you more job security, then more power to you. But you gotta understand dude, a lot of us gamers intensely dislike EA as a company for various reasons aside from those stated above in...

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    Great... now I'm being accused of having a diet of creepy crawlies. Ugh. :p But that "porn jazz" soundtrack is one of the reasons why the film is so memorable. It fit in perfectly with futuristic noir atmosphere Ridley Scott created for the movie.

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    It was a figure of speech, just so we're clear on that. :p And I'll have you know my oral and dental hygiene is impeccable. ;)

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    Some of you may have caught gist of this. If not, here's the score. This December, Ridley Scott releases his final cut of one his most memorable films on DVD. Releases include a standard 2-disc version with the film and a special features disc; a 4-disc version that includes the original 1982...

    What journal / blog site to use?

    I took a look at GooglePages, and it looks a bit lacking at first glance (though I could be wrong, I may need to investigate it further). But what's with all the wariness of file hoster sites like Megaupload and Rapidshare? I've downloaded a ton of files from either of them and never had any...

    What journal / blog site to use?

    I too am curious. Is putting up your own website the only way you can upload files for other people to view? Or is their an alternative?

    Bionic Woman- Season 1 [Pilot] 9/2007

    There's also that annoying voice of hers. I cannot for the life of me take her seriously as an ass kicking spy whenever I hear that whiny sound that comes out of her mouth. My opinion? Ryan is loads better than Garner, in both the looks and voice department.

    Bionic Woman- Season 1 [Pilot] 9/2007

    Well, just watched the pilot, and I have to say, it was alright. Not as horrendous as everyone is saying (although I do agree with complaints about the rushed pacing and the ham handed dialog), but I think this show will do alright in the long run. I do think however that a longer pilot was...

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    Have to say it wasn't the gameplay aspects that made go wow over the game, but the story. Jade Empire hands down had the most epic and moving storyline that I've ever had the pleasure of taking part in an RPG. And no, I'm not ashamed to admit that the good ending moved me to tears. :(

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    No depth? You're telling me that those long talks with the likes of Kang the Mad, Wild Flower, Sky or even Henpecked Hou did nothing for you? Each of them had such complex and wonderful backstories (sometimes hilarious, in the case of Hou :D ). Even that homicidal brute Black Whirlwind had some...

    Multiple POVs, good bad or indifferent?

    The Lord of the Rings did it as well. Albeit most effectively. :) And I really liked how George RR Martin handled the multiple POV's in A Song of Ice and Fire. I think it served in making the characters fully realized flesh and blood people, rather than the stereotypes they could have been.

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    Alrighty then. Thanks for the heads up. :) I'll pop back if I have anymore questions.

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    That's nice. Okay. Got a question then. When Bioware first unveiled the game, they stated that one of the key features was the ability to interrupt conversations with NPCs. So far, none of the game videos I've seen has shown this feature in action. So, is it still in the game or was it removed...

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    Forgive if I don't agree with you, but I thought Jade Empire was fantastic. I take it you're part of the development team then? :)

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    Apologies if there was a thread on this before. Looked through the archives and didn't see one. If there was, apologies again. I know everyone's been salivating over the upcoming release of Halo 3 (that's a bit of an understatement really. It seems the whole universe is yearning for it :p )...

    Anime Recommendations

    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the best new anime series that I can recommend. I also heartily recommend Azumanga Daioh, best anime comedy ever made. :lol: If comedy isn't to your liking and are looking for something more action packed, then you can't go wrong with Ghost in the...

    Pirates and Musketeers on the BBC in 2009

    Original report here . Hmm... hopefully this will sate my hunger for Doctor Who until 2010. Still, I wasn't that impressed with Robin Hood, so hopefully these two shows can do it better.
