I've read all the Doctor Who books back when I was in high school, loved them.
The show, not so much.
please spoiler tag Dr Who stuff, at least for the next day to so.
Books -> TV/Film yay

Novelisations are the wurst.

It really was an amazing episode. As for real spoiler discussion...
This definitely throws a spanner into the numbering though. Will we call Capaldi the 13th Doctor? Given the way he gave the "all 13" line, I'm up for it. I think it's OK to do that without changing the numbers on Ecclestone, Tennant and Smith and without there being a 12th. I do believe Hurt, who will probably be settled upon as being called the War Doctor, really earned himself a full position.

In a fit of nostalgia (and also as a way to see whether she's interested in the genre) I just grabbed The Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary Edition from GOG for my daughter. I remember the first game very fondly, and reckon that the simplified mechanics are a bonus compared to the over-complicated morass that appears to be The Settlers 7...
Just finished!!
Spoilers: ahhhh tom baker!!! Good work on me for wearing my scarf xd. That was so goooooood

I wanted to get up early to watch it but figured I could watch it from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint.

All I want to know about the Doctor Who episode is: are there any Fezes?
What are you doing, JB?
Advertising through me, it appears.

Micro-transaction? 30 bucks for a car?lol, FM5 is just getting torn to shreads. Crappy DLC practices, microtransactions, limited car/track roster and graphics downgrade.

I think the numbering probably won't be changed just for ease but I wouldn't mind it if did, I might actually like it.
I dunno, 10th and 11th certainly acknowledged John Hurt as a proper Doctor now. 11th doesn't hate that part of himself now that he learnt he didn't really blow up Gallifrey.
I wouldn't mind some more John Hurt Doctor side stories. He was more fun, less evil and less ruthless than I expected, certainly as likable as every other Doctor to me.
Also that brief flash of Capaldi made me cheer. Great moment and nice surprise to have him there.
If you persisted with The Dark Tower for that long it certainly doesn't get any worse.
So why wasn't there any Eccleston or Timothy Dalton in Day of The Doctor?
Not sure if I like that Galifrey is now OK or not, but I do like the setup of the new season.
As for the numbering, if Cipaldi is the 13th, does that mean no more regenerations, or only one left? I don't buy into that stuff, but many do...

Ecclestone is just a dick who hates that he was ever on Doctor Who. Timothy Dalton dunno but now that we know Gallifrey wasn't actually destroyed Rassilom will be back, the Master too.Originally Posted by codswallop

I do like that Gallofrey is back. We've had the Doctor feeling guilty for 8 years now, good that he's finally over it.
Capaldi should be the last regeneration but now that the Time Lords are out there somewhere he has a way to get more.
Really enjoyed Day of the Doctor. Keen to rewatch it and An Adventure in Space and Time tonight.
The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot is fantastic, too!
On numbering: Capaldi is the 13th Doctor, meaning technically no more regenerations after him, yeah. It's established in show that there are ways to get more though, so there'll probably be a story about that within the next couple of series.

Eccleston wasn't in it 'cause he pretty much doesn't want anything to do with the show right now, Timothy Dalton wasn't because his character would've been off with the High Council, either doing or preparing for End of Time-y stuff. The Time Lords dealt with in Day of the Doctor were the War Council, the military leaders.Originally Posted by codswallop

Did Nine News just report Rupert Murdoch's new Super yacht arriving in Sydney as news??
The other night they reported Kate Middleton's "Marilyn Monroe moment' as news, so why not?
Prince Hairy landed in Antarctica for a race was news on ABC.
Being run by the government, they're probably obligated to.
Day of The Doctor talk...
Ecclestone is just a dick who hates that he was ever on Doctor Who.
Is that really the case? I mean, it's well known Eccleston hated his time on the show by the end (and it showed, I enjoyed this season up until... maybe 2/3 through when you could tell he just didn't want to be there), but does he really want nothing to do with it nowadays? Seems a really smarmy attitude, I guess I figured he was better than that. I'd be interested to know if he was asked.Originally Posted by Box of Bunnies

He was apparently in talks to appear but decided against it pretty late. Rumour is that the War Doctor part was originally meant to be for Eccleston's Doctor but had to be reworked after he pulled out.Originally Posted by codswallop

More Doctor Who...
Really interested to see where they go with Cipaldi. I was a fan of Smith's eclecticism, really felt like you were watching an alien whose skin didn't quite fit right.
Yeah I did some Googling and it seems he was asked. Sucks big time. You take that role on and IMO you have a responsibility to do these kinds of things. His time on the site must have REALLY shaken him...Originally Posted by Box of Bunnies

Stumbled into the Doctor Who thread.
I am watching the repeat of it now, after not seeing an episode for a few years.
Ooh, Harkness was referred to.

I bought $200 worth of EB cards for next weekend so I can grab a 3G Vita with Killzone.
WHere can I get a 64GB mem card cheap? YesAsia has it for USD$93 posted with NEWTWITTER3 code. Any better floating around?
Reviews were still 5/5 BEST FUCKING TIRES EVA
Games media doesn't give a fuck in general. Nice to see Eurogamer take a shot though. Better be the next Jimquisition.

Thoughts on the Dr's: I was under the impression that both hurt and Tennant would not remember that gallifrey was saved... would smith? mentally... maybe they can exclude the transformation from the count! it could be a mental thing! But god that sucks. The way hurts doctor was so happy, knowing he hadn't killed his entire people... but at the same time knowing that he would for the rest of his existence once leaving the gallery, think that he has killed them... ouch
I think I'll re watch again tonight.
I'd love to see capaldis doctor more of a crotchety old man, not cranky but I don't know. Not so know it all whacky, perhaps a bit stern, and stubborn when he needs to be, because he knows he's correct.

Well the Big Day Out just got a whole lot more shit with Blur pulling out. Guess I'll be asking for a refund.
Apparently some of it may have been because the review copies in the US received redeem codes or whatever for the DLC, whereas the European media outlets had to buy it themselves (and I guess they experienced it first hand or something, I dunno).Originally Posted by reptilescorpio

Still, shocking practice. Really pathetic cash grab on Microsoft's part.
Man, seeing Doctor Who in the cinema with a crowd in 3D was so worth it!
I had avoided the internet all day and about 30min before it starts the gf says "Oh, I saw on Facebook that Tom Baker is in it." *face palm*

that bit was so exciting, was watching it with my mum and we were botth like Is that.. no it cant be.. omg it issss
Daughter quite enjoyed Settlers 2.
I've given up on AssCreed 3 as a pile of steaming poo. I get that it's not the best of the series, but it seriously makes zero sense to someone new to the games, which I'd be willing to forgive, but then the gameplay is all over the place as well (laughably ridiculous one moment, bizarrely controlled another and just plain annoying elsewise) so stuff it.
