I go back and forth between "The Girl in the Fireplace" and "Waters of Mars" as my favourite Tennant episode, with Girl in the Fireplace being a little bit flashier and Waters of Mars anchored in much more traditional storytelling.

Doctor Who trailers can be unusual beasts. The trailer for Girl in the Fireplace looked so corny I almost skipped over it, but it ended up being one of my all time favourite episodes.

Chum said it best. After ostensibly completing the game's main quest you're invited to visit an area which, by all conventional logic, ought to lead straight to the final dungeon (flying your airship into a pillar of light.) Instead, it warps you back to the beginning of the game with your inventory, level, and skills…

I'm glad this got to be the top comment. I thought Cowboy Bebop was the near-unanimous choice for best opening credit sequence in the Universe, so if it didn't get covered in the body of the article I'm glad it at least gets top billing down here.

If anyone ever considers doubting the AV Club's production values, let the record show that the videos embedded above have different graphics to differentiate between "Outtakes" and "Digital Outtakes."

It's definitely good seeing more of Sam on the Digest, I feel like she's keeping that connection to the Gameological Old Guard alive. Although the introduction this week of the Digest's Digital Edition/Forbidden Magicks Edition makes me wonder about the possibility of widening the net of future Digest guest stars? I…

Hahaha, oh yeah! Man, if I can be perfectly candid I'm actually sort of glad I'm not the only one blaming himself for allowing the project to deflate. I came out of the gate pretty hot when we first started bandying ideas around, and even today I wish I had put more effort into keeping that energy and momentum alive.…

Man I'm really glad this conversation is coming up, because my friends and I discuss it with a frequency somewhere between "regularly" and "non-stop." Of the lot of us, I'd certainly be the first to go. When I'm feeling charitable towards myself I describe myself as having a lot of "soft skills" like writing,…

People looking for other amusing Thief postmortems would do well to check out Yahtzee's violent takedown of it from a couple of weeks ago as well.

Froyo, that's the motto.

Gelato > Ice cream > Frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt's only redeeming quality is the social acceptability of covering it with toppings and chocolate sauce.

I guess that is one of the disadvantages of exploration-as-its-own-reward style games, that eventual realization that if you just went outside you could be walking pointlessly around in real life like a conventional person.

I'm really more of a gelato man (during the summer months my butties and I hang out at the neighbourhood gelato place the way most ordinary twentysomethings hang out in bars) but I won't ever turn down a good scoop of ice cream. I think I'm actually with you on the superiority of vanilla. I used to not like it, but…

I choose to believe John pressing those ice cream cartons against his face is a direct response to my earlier desire to see that action return to the Digest. I appreciate it, John, that must have been very cold.

That clip is pretty great because the subtext is really obviously that this character is struggling with his pedophilic urges.

Holy shit, that trailer started out bad, then turned terrible, then turned so, so good. A+++ trailer work there Uplifting Films.

Hey everybody and welcome once more to the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Drama Guided Tour. This week we're going to be covering:

Bringing back some major good memories with that comment there bud. I know these days I can basically just buy books, and getting an Amazon delivery kind of replicates the experience of the Scholastic shipment arriving, but there's nothing truly comparable to the energy and community and excitement of that massive…

Oh my God, Animorphs was so my jam back in elementary school. I still slightly pride myself on being the trend starter back at my first school. All the kids were reading Goosebumps at the time, but I was the first one to donate all my Goosebumps to the school library and start reading Animorphs instead. Before long…

Yeah, I started playing the series with Metal Gear Solid, and even back then the series' mythology was already ludicrously complex. My favourite part was, after the Cyborg Ninja battle, Snake calling Campbell in distress with the dramatic reveal that the Ninja was Grey Fox. All the characters were acting so shocked,…
