Ah, my mistake.

It's actually worse than this because the reason all this came about was because a bug in the game originally allowed same sex Miis to marry (I think if you uploaded a male Mii appearance but registered the sex as female) but Nintendo patched it out. So it's not so much they're not doing the extra work to put same sex…

ESPECIALLY the part about the embolism. I wasn't so sure about the aubergine who loved too much and its frankly questionable deployment in the first Gulf War, but once it got to the six nun jacuzzi conundrum vs Gareth the quadratic equation labrador, it all started to make perfect sense.

Agree with all of that.

Davies' time in charge was in turn outrageously brilliant and shamelessly self-indulged. Sometimes both. As mentioned in the review, he's a fantastic ideas man but a pretty lousy storyteller, struggling to give the characters interesting things to do between narrative and thematic turning points. Nevertheless, it's…

We discover that Skye's mysterious past is as a Chinese-American pop singer who underwent the TAHITI process in order to cover up the terrible memories of her nascent career. Unfortunately, a side-effect of the TAHITI alien biology was the creation of a twin from her fluctuating DNA, known as Dark Skye. As Coulson and…

I was secretly hoping this would be based on the old board game, Outrage!, because that is one hell of a great board game and no-one seems to have heard of it.

Bob and Linda's excitement at having sex was absolutely adorable, even by the standards of this supremely adorable ("We're so little!") show.

This episode isn't the funniest all the way through, but has some absolutely killer lines.

"I’ve been vegetarian since I was 19 and then kind of cut out dairy in college and haven’t had a sinus infection since."

Personally I wouldn't call it a bad game by a long way, but its excellent level design is too often undermined by how gimped the controls are. Eight-directional movement is a complete pain, particularly in levels which require precision (especially that one where you have to hit targets with your head cannon thing…

3D World is a decent game, but to claim it shows Nintendo back at their experimental best is pushing it. There are many lovely touches, but the bigger picture of the game shows it playing as safe as possible: the art style, name and general design aesthetic are lifted straight from 3D Land; the multiplayer mechanic…

Holy shit, how did I forget about that. Come on it's time to go, do the Mario!

Nintendo has a long and glorious history with rapping. Never forget.

Link's Awakening is a lovely game, full of the delicate little touches which used to give Nintendo's games so much soul but have too often been missing from their recent output. It's one of two games where the focus is not so much on Link as hero but the world around him, and not coincidentally both are among the…

Somewhere, Todd VanDerWerff is huddled in a corner, sobbing as he watches each new episode of 2 Broke Girls and whimpering to himself: "This could still be a good show! THIS COULD STILL BE A GOOD SHOW!"

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I'd have loved it if after billions of years, a life spanning all of space and time, the great and wise Face Of Boe's dying words to the wandering god had been 'Beware of Bob.'

Probably just the chameleon arch creating the details of a new life for him much as it did for the Doctor in Family Of Blood. In the time between Jack helping defeat the Master and turning into the Face Of Boe, he had millennia to reverse-engineer a smarty pants line from YANA to give the Doctor a hint of what lay in…

For some reason I completely missed the 'newbie thoughts' at the top of your post. Anyway, I wasn't seeking to invalidate your experience, merely to argue that I think Davies does establish some context for why newbies and old fans both have reason to get excited at the reveal. Whether or not it actually delivers…

I'd argue that given how powerful the Doctor is, the existence of an evil Time Lord is a pretty big deal whether you know who he is or not. His presence also shatters the Doctor's definition of himself as the last of his kind. Again, you'd have to ask a new fan for a definite answer, but I'd imagine it was a pretty…
