    Doctor Who Series 7-8: The Rings of Akhaten (SPOILERS)

    The more I think about this, the more I think that that was originally the ending, but Moffat swept in at the last second and said "Heeeey, Neil, buddy..... Listen, I love your ending, but I've kinda got this season-long arc to run, mind if I just... tweak it a smidge?"

    Doctor Who Series 6.7 'A Good Man Goes To War' SPOILERS

    Rory was amazingly badass in this episode. Especially before the credits. That entire sequence was pants-wettingly amazing. The way he strode into a Cyberman headquarters and demanded to know "Where. Is. My. Wife?" was awesome, and the Doctor's message added a wonderful addition to the...

    Doctor Who Series 6.4 'The Doctor's Wife' SPOILERS

    I've been thinking that too. And it really struck me when he said "Another Ood I failed to save," in a really off-the-cuff manner, before quickly moving onto other things. Interesting development indeed.

    Poll: How blind are you?

    I'm strange. I'm only half-blind. One of my eyes is extremely short-sighted. I can see less than a foot in front of me without my glasses. My left eye can see fine, but if it had a videogame sliderbar for depth of field, it'd be a shade lower than infinite.

    Poll: Escapist App?

    No. What I think would be better is a mobile version of the site. Wider variety of phones, not excluding the WP7/Android market in the process. Only problem there is that ads and mobile don't go well together.

    Ever trolled somebody?

    I did indeed, but not in the malevolent way. You know, the Rickroll kind... I had SO much fun when this came out: <spoiler=Nothing bad, I promise>http://www.criticalgamers.com/archives/pictures/LostTin.9.26.06.jpg

    Preferred Volume level

    I don't know really. If I'm using my shitty laptop speakers, around about 80% if I'm not doing anything sound-related; about 60 if I am. If I plug in my headphones though, it goes WAAAY down to about 15/20. My iPod on the other hand, with some really nice, noise cancelling, over-ear...

    On the subject of grief (and death in general)

    It's not too recent, but I lost both of my grandfathers in the last year, one from lung cancer and one from Motor Neurone Disease. I'm not sure how to describe my reactions. The first one, my dad's dad, was less... I dunno, sad, because his family were all really cheery, only remembering the...

    What was the first game you ever played?

    I'm not entirely sure what my first game was. I know it was one of three, but I was very young, so I don't remember the exact chronology. It was either: A game called Rox for the Gameboy Color that nobody's ever heard of: Or Spyro the Dragon or Tekken Tag Tournament on the PS1. Latest...

    I'm S.P.E.C.I.A.L

    Strength - 4 Yeah, I'm pretty weedy, but capable of doing what's needed. Perception - 7 I often notice things others don't, but thanks to my Charisma stat, I tend to keep my head down, which lowers my score here. Endurance - 5 Can't endure too much, but I can, once again, do what's...

    Police beat Cerebral palsy sufferer, he is then berated on BBC news

    Much as this is a horrible event, I do like how Jody completely held his own in the interview, was very calm about the accusations and used logic to fight them off. The media on the other hand...

    The Nerdiest Item you've ever seen AND WANTED!

    ALL of my Christmas list is comprised of things from ThinkGeek. Which is a problem since I live in Ireland, so they charge massive delivery, not to mention customs charges. I know for a fact that they've already been bought though ;) Oh and last year, I got (from ThinkGeek again) an 8-bit...
