  1. Re:US version of Dr. Who... on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    what's the relevance of Max Headroom here?

  2. Re:Bill Bailey and Joss Whedon on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    Bill Bailey for president, er I mean the next Doctor. Whose going to start an "official" petition at petitiononline.com so that it can be submitted to the Beeb for the producers to ignore?

    didn't we already have one of these with really, really great results? Paul McGann and Eric Roberts anyone?

    damn that's a good idea. Bill Bailey knows his SF so he wouldn't need an introduction and if you've seen his stand up gigs he could just wear one of his old costumes from when performs his comedy prog rock songs like Insect Nation. He has a huge eccentricity factor, in fact he reminds me of a younger Tom Baker now I think about it.

  5. Re:newbies on Bungie Unveils New Halo 2 Maps · · Score: 1

    the Xbox has damaged FPSs on the PC. The PC is capable of far more than a console - hello Far Cry, HL2, Joint Ops etc. - and now thanks to multi platform console releases PC titles have to suffer the limitations of consoles. Short level designs to ease loading, crappy interface designs ... - hello Deus Ex II, Thief 2, Riddick etc.

  6. Other developers do it for the love of the game on Bungie Unveils New Halo 2 Maps · · Score: 1

    Epic, Dice, Ascaron, Maxis ... just a few of the companies that release FREE content to the fans of the game. Bungie do not need the money and charging for 9 maps basically shows how much they appreciate the fan base. Epic are well known for releasing free content that includes far more than the Bungie offering. One of the last patches contained entirely new vehicles, maps and skins for the grand price of nothing. The guys at Legend distributed XMP for nothing after working on it in their spare time - purely because they thought it was too good to waste. And it was. Great vehicles, gameplay and class based MP which was actually better than the retail game. Dice are always adding new content to their Battelfield series even outside of the retail expansion packs. Welcome to the new Bungie. They aren't that special but they sure act like it.

  7. Re:Bandwidth Cost on Fan Group Creates Full-Length Discworld Movie · · Score: 1

    LAL is not one of my favorites, or any of the witch based novels. However my question is, do the producers know that the book is suppposed to be funny? They seemed to have replaced intentional comedy with just laughably bad quality.
