    Damn! Turns out she's the same age as me and here's me thinking she was in her 50s. Never been much good with ages but she must have had one hell of a paper round.

    Doctor Who

    Well, I finally watched the episode last night. Really not a fan of children-based episodes. I get that they're trying to engage as many demographics as possible but you know nothing really menacing is going to happen (in a pre-watershed show) when you have a bunch of kids pottering around on...

    It'll likely never happen again. Nowadays it seems everything has to be accessible by everyone and the only challenge is meeting the time investment.

    Solo till 15 and run Sastasha >Tam-Tara (16-19) > Copperbell (17-20) > Halatali (20-23) > Thousand Maws (24-27). If you haven't already completed them there's always Guildhests. However, yeah, tedious repeated dungeon-bashing and leves it is.

    I remember VT being great for clickies. The summon food and water items, clickable fire shield pants, shrink bracelet, KEI rings, clicky resistance ring, AHR neck are ones that immediately spring to mind.

    How about the trees choose not to absorb the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and instead of producing oxygen they allow the CO2 to build up sufficiently to negate the flare? Maybe some trees die in the process. They do love that whole, "They sacrificed themselves for you when you didn't...

    It's one of those daft inconsistencies with the English language. Incombustible means not combustible but inflammable means it's flammable. No logic at all. That said, it didn't detract from your write-up. I haven't seen the episode yet but you nicely summed up how I'll probably feel at the...

    I feel I should point out that flammable and inflammable are one in the same. Non-flammable or incombustible are fine however.

    Urgh... Torchwood. That was my sci-fi show Vanguard moment. Such high hopes, such utter wank.

    I have no complaints about the game's performance on the PS4. After playing it on the PS3 and experiencing really awful issues with invisible boss mobs, lag, etc. the PS4 was a huge improvement. Just get yourself a wireless keyboard and you'll be good to go. Class/job wise I'd probably...

    I remember when my guild were struggling for tanks during Luclin a necro friend and I camped the DA hammer from GE for about a week so my pally could Rampage tank Emp. Worked a treat, Sword of Ssra dropped, and... the guild leader gave it to his girlfriend. I have so many happy memories of...

    Flamberge off Tunare as well. Only one I ever saw drop for my guild went to an SK friend of the guild leader who proceeded to transfer servers and sell his account less than a month later. GG loot council vs DKP.

    Also, last two episodes have been solid. Same writer for both I believe. They need to keep that guy at all costs.

    Sonic has remained the same. As for the Tardis, Matt Smith had two versions. The last one changed on the Christmas episode with Clara just before he bowed out so they probably figured it was too soon to change it again. Although, they did kind of imply when one Doctor dies the Tardis receives...

    They've always been good at creating cool-looking monsters to smack the shit out of.

    And that right there is the problem. Dr Who used to be a sci-fi show and now it's turned into some intergalactic rom-com.

    Titan has been cancelled.

    I just used the name on his YouTube channel to find him on Facebook. His Cover Photo is the same dog in the clip, fairly confident that kid isn't some trolling lothario.

    Titan has been cancelled.

    He looks relatively normal for a basement-dwelling teenager with a crush on his dog. Although, it appears his previous dog (the one in the clip) shook off its mortal coil.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    This thread has definitely brought back some very fond memories of playing this as a kid on the BBC and later on my ZX Spectrum. Foundthis pagewhich basically lays out everything about the original game. If the new version is even a pale shadow of the original I'll be grabbing it.

    Thought I'd share this littleTimelineI saw in The Telegraph a while ago. I'm possibly being a bit harsh saying the robot in this week's episode looked crap. Looking at that link it reminds me a mainstay of Doctor Who has always been terribad special effects but engaging storylines.

    It felt more like a Benny Hill sketch. Unconvincing robot chasing people around corridors and Danny Pink doing his Power Ranger leap through the air. I'm with Chris on this one, the current series seems disjointed and tired. I never used to tune in to Doctor Who as a kid for a couple of funny...

    Whenever I see these videos I really have to fight the urge to resubscribe. Then I remember that the dungeons become old after the fifth or sixth run and everyone is on autopilot capping their "new" tomestones (which'll have an awful droprate that they'll subsequently increase two month's...

    Judi Dench wouldn't work as she has all but bowed out of acting now due to her deteriorating vision. I believe that's why she was written out of the Bond movies despite being an excellent foil to Daniel Craig. As for the episode, I enjoyed it for the most part despite it having a very flimsy...

    I'm fairly certain I remember Tennant mentioning in one of the episodes he'd been married and had once had children in connection with him looking after a child in one of the episodes which would support the theory they're just born normally. Not all Gallifreyan's become Time Lords anyway, just...

    While I agree with the rest of your post I have to pull you up on this. EQ's zones are massive, they make FFXIV's look tiny by comparison. FFXI on the other hand would give EQ a run for its money but that's only because you had to travel across the whole zone to reach a ledge you could walk up...

    The two people we see materialise in the garden we don't actually see die, we assume they do. The automaton fell to his death but we didn't see him die and the girl is about to get vapourized but we equally we don't see it happen as we did with the guy before her. Additionally, there's...

    I remember after playing a particularly long session I went to open the door to the kitchen and reached up into the air for the handle. I'm a little over six foot tall but my brain was so used to the first-person perspective of my dwarf.

    To be fair, if everyone was on full health he shouldn't have been pulling hate with Medica. Sure, if he used it right off the pull he'd be pulling the same amount of hate as if he'd just been using a Cure. The aggro in FFXIV is pretty badly handled anyway though. For example, if I throw a...

    I'd struggle to narrow down my favourite quotes from the movie, there's literally so many. IMDB have a prettycomprehensive list.The Jesus dialogue always makes me smile. And pretty much any line from Walter.

    While I'm very much liking Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor so far I still have grave concerns with Moffat's involvement. I'd imagine that I'm probably older than a bunch of you so seeing constant nods to things from my childhood ranging fromThe Numskullsin the Hitler episode to the Inner...

    I remember being undecided on a surname for my paladin. Wasn't till I was in my late 20's running back to Unrest naked on a CR that I saw a guy being beaten on by a skeleton in Dagnor's so I cast Instrument of Nife and ran up and punched it. First punch Nife procs and the skele is just...

    Toss up between my first Hate zone-in and fucking around in Unrest basement with close friends seeing who could pull the largest (survivable) trains. Also ending our first AoW kill swinging a sword naked except for a pair of hastily-looted boots.

    I played FFXI for a long time and I don't ever think my character's appearance was a motivation to be honest, it was always about squeezing that extra point of strength in to a gear swap or building that perfect evasion set for soloing NMs. Hell, for most of the time I played him my Nin looked...
