The production values might have felt a little below par because John's prop globe fell to bits after about two seconds. There were probably a bunch of HBO producers just off camera sucking air through their teeth when that happened, but John managed to keep it relatively under control. Still, there's probably one…

I was a teeny bit concerned in the weeks leading up to this show. I only recently discovered The Bugle, but it quickly became one of the staples of my internet diet. The timing of John getting his own show and Colbert leaving Comedy Central was bit worrying for me, since I figured Comedy would have fallen over itself…

I'm planning on finally starting Persona 4 this weekend as well. Hopefully we'll be able to have big ol' weekly Persona Parties starting next Friday.

I think Sam Richardson's character is supposed to be Veep's equivalent to the "hopelessly incompetent airhead" character embodied by Miles Jupp in The Thick Of It. At least I hope he is, since Selina suggested she wanted to get rid of him last week and he wasn't in this episode. With any luck he'll stick around as a…

Hey Alasdair, if you wanted to float the idea of an AVQ&A dedicated to the episodes/films/albums/books each staff member would give an A/F grade, I'd be pretty hyped to read something like that. It's a pretty interesting concept, and I'm sure a lot of the staff and commenters would have great examples of media that…

Greetings all and welcome back to the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Drama Extraordinaire. This week we'll be covering:

"Children are of no value" reminded me of one of my favourite Peter Mannion lines from The Thick Of It: "I hate school children, they're volatile and stupid and they haven't even got the vote. I might as well be talking to fucking geese."

Oh my God, The Seventh Seal: "What kind of correspondence school lamo would enjoy this? Boner Hansen, that's who."

Remember a few years back when Edvard Munch's The Scream got stolen again?

Hello my beauties and welcome back to the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Drama Thing. We've got a doozy this week:

Fun Fact: Some of the Doctor Who EU novels have floated the idea that the Master's real name is "Koschei," borrowed from the Russian folklore character "Koschei the Deathless." Immortal indeed.

Ooooh, I like this question. My brain first went to Suikoden Tactics, aka Rhapsodia, a direct sequel to Suikoden IV, the ginger stepchild of the Suikoden franchise. Absolutely nobody was clamouring for a return to the bland world and characters of Suikoden IV, but Suikoden Tactics is actually a really solid little…

The last I heard from him he was starting at a relatively intensive boarding school, hence his non-presence over the last few months. Hopefully he hasn't forgotten about us. If he hasn't been keeping his finger on the pulse he might visit the old GS site and be very confused.

Once I fire it up I'll be sure to keep the weekly Persona Party going. I wonder if Jack's summer break starts any time soon…

Well, Pagan ol' buddy, you were right. It may have taken seventeen months since you called it, but Persona 4 has come to PSN. Right now I'm in the most intense stages of writing, so it'll be a few weeks at least until I've got the free time necessary to play another Persona game (P3:FES took me an unprecedented 100…

Humans being erased from the planet is definitely an interpretation- one I happen to share- rather than the stone cold fact of what happened at the end of the game, but I think there's enough textual evidence to support that theory. At the Forgotten Capital, when Bugenhagen is explaining how Aeris' Holy magic works,…

Argh, another great choice that I wish had been mine. A complete, airtight story with absolutely nothing to be gained from spinning it off into a franchise. I really admire Supergiant's integrity in committing to another new IP.

The World Ends With You was one I was considering choosing. It's one of my all time favourites, but a sequel with the original cast would have to generate some kind of pointlessly contrived reason to get the gang back together. Neku's story ended with completely perfect closure, and even the overarching story…

Aww man, Matt, I actually really want a Zack and Wiki sequel, that was one of my favourite Wii games. I wouldn't be opposed to Capcom turning it into a Professor Layton style franchise. Ideally on the 3DS, because I'd rather not buy a Wii U.
