    Actually,

    I think John Hurt will be the "Doctor" that ended the Time War, condemning all the other Time Lords and the Daleks.
    This is the Doctor that had to commit genocide to protect the rest of the universe, and therefore did not act in the name of "The Doctor".
    But we will see.

    Doctor Who: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life, would you allow its use?
    Davros: It is an interesting conjecture.
    Doctor Who: Would you do it?
    Davros: The only living thing, a microscopic organism reigning supreme... A fascinating idea.
    Doctor Who: But would you do it?
    Davros: Yes... Yes...

    That was The Curse of Fatal Death and Joanna Lumley was the Doctor. It was, indeed, a spoof and quite a welcome one during the Dark Time of the Hiatus.

    I guess you missed the part where I saw it in the early 90's, this was made in the end of the 90's (1999), and the chick wasn't who I saw. the lady was older, and I think dressed like Tom Bakers doctor.

  12. Re:No way on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 2

    John Hurt is an old man, and they wouldn't take the risk for a long running show. (Sorry John). More likely he's in for a subplot lasting a few episodes.

    The 'doctor name' plot is wrapping up (that episode was way too complex/messy, Moffat needs to reign it in a bit), the next big over arching plot is due, there'll be a bridge to that.

    So we had River Song, Cracks in Time, Silents/3d Printed People, and Doctor's Name plot threads, I'm assuming Hurt will do an bit of intro to that thread.

    Well, Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor. We know the 13th doctor is evil (from past episodes) and we know (unless they changed it since he's the last timelord), timelords only get 12 regens (making 13 total lives). So it would be logical (Star Trek reference, couldn't resist) that John Hurt is the next doctor.

    And what's old got to do with it? You telling me older actors can't act? Or we should be worried because he might fall over and die any day? Seriously? John Hurt looks like a doctor. I know the BBC thinks it needs young actors for the doctor, but lets be real, the best doctors (IMO) were the older dudes.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about? It was in color, saw it probably in the early 90's. I'm sure it was probably just a spoofed show, but i've never been able to figure it out. Not hitting the right phrase to find any info about it with google.

  17. Depends when you started the collection on Will Your Video Game Collection Appreciate Over Time? · · Score: 1

    If we are talking older generations of stuff, the problem is usually only a few titles are really worth alot and most of worth nothing. So if you bought everything new at the time of release, you'd have a few titles worth big money, and most of the stuff loses it's value. Now if you were smart enough to figure out which games you don't need to buy (sports games, etc) and just bought the games that should go up in price, then waited to pick up the other stuff at bottom prices, maybe.

    But collectors are a special breed. Like recently, I had some C64 software boxes & manuals (no disks) that a person wanted for his collection, and paid me decent for them. You have a collection, that has it's boxes & manuals also, you will get probably a decent sum for it.

    Xbox 360, PS3 collections be worth anything? No idea. The Xbox One will NOT be a collectors item, and won't have collections selling in 20 years for lots of money. Why? Because no one will be able to play it's games.

    Maybe you should actually do a bit of research before running your mouth (figuratively speaking).

    From the ABC:

    When officers went to investigate, there was a physical altercation between police and 26-year-old Gerardo Diego Ayala that ended with a fatal officer-involved shooting. Police say a gun was located at the scene.

    Investigators allege 21-year-old Victor Sanchez and two other suspects then took off in a Dodge Charger. With Sanchez at the wheel, the Charger slammed into two vehicles during the pursuit before hitting Reisse, police said. ...

    Police say all are gang members on probation, with outstanding warrants for their arrest.

    Or do you condone that we just let anyone who flees from a fatal firefight by getting into a car just escape because catching them may be a bit risky?

    Maybe if the cops in america weren't so big on pulling guns for non violent offenders, they wouldn't find so many serious offenders willing to shoot them.

  20. Re:FTA on Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed In Auto Collision · · Score: 1

    Because you know, guys with guns fleeing after a firefight and a violent encounter with police are totally white, nice and fluffy, model citizens and police should just wait for them to show up again and not try to prevent them from doing it again. What a nice example of police brutality!

    Sometimes, it actually helps to read the source:

    Authorities say the incident began when officers saw two vehicles full of people involved in some type of criminal activity in the 1000 block of Rosewood Court Thursday. When officers went to investigate, there was a physical altercation between police and 26-year-old Gerardo Diego Ayala that ended with a fatal officer-involved shooting. Police say a gun was located at the scene.

    Source: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/orange_county&id=9122999

    I think you forget how cops act in the United States. Even for small crimes that are NOT violent in nature, they pull out a full squad, armed to the teeth, kick down doors and terrorize whomever they are going after. Since criminals know the cops will have guns out for non violent crimes, then it only makes sense to start shooting at the cops when you see them for violent crimes? Why? Because the cops are going to be gunning for you. Cops actions for all crimes have made it so criminals really have no choice but to get in shoot outs.

    Maybe if the next gen games are made at a resolution of 1080p, then yes, they probably be nice on the new 4k monitors. Of course, we don't have any of those next gen games out, so we really do NOT know if the new consoles can even push out 1080p resolution games.
