I'm totally out of gaming practise lately, since my brother sold his Xbox instead of giving it to me to bring to college. Which means that I can see all the new games coming out, but know that grad school will unfortunatly take precedence over me getting to play any of them. All that's left at home is the Wii. As soon as I got back from school I challenged my sister to MarioKart and promptly got my ass handed to me repeatedly. She's nine.

The Heirarchy species from Voyager look a lot like the original Sontarans.



And that Flynn DeMarco looks a lot like heck yeah.

 

You should have more hawt Video Online Journalists like Flynn.

I've lost all hope that Dwight Schrute(Rainn Wilson) will make the top ten. I don't consider John Barrowman a geek.

Where's BSG "Sine Qua Non"? Anyway, it was probably the weakest episode of the season so far. Yes, Romo's cat is an imaginary cylon like "Head Six". Apparently, the destruction of the Cylon Hub happened off-screen. That sucks big time. Well, two episodes left. D'anna talks with everyone (Laura Roslin). I'm kinda pissed that Lucy Lawless does not appear in the last 10 episodes. She was great, in fact, I think that the interaction between Tricia Helfer and Lucy Lawless on the show was great, it should have been developed more.

Will there be  a review of the New Hulk movie? I'm not that excited for it and I wonder whether it's worth seeing.

How about a poll on TheAngryPuppy.com about who likes Deep Space Nine over Doctor Who and vice versa?

 

Does anyone else see how sinister Hera was in setting up "Rebel Six" for the kill? She totally played her mother, "Athena"  with those crayon drawings of Six and then Athena "miraculously" found "Rebel Six" by just wandering the halls? I don't think so. I think Hera knew EXACTLY where "Rebel Six" was and she knew exactly what her mother was going to do to her.

In Sine Qua Non we have a big no-no, Cylon on Cylon sex producing a baby, Caprica Six is pregnant with Saul Tigh's child. This was the biggest WTF moment of the episode. Well, actually the biggest WTF was the OFF-SCREEN attack on the Cylon Hub (Maybe. It is possibly something else. However, the next episode "The Hub" could be a flashback). Ronald D Moore is playing with fire here. If all the good Cylon Civil War action takes place off-screen then many fans simply won't tune in for the second half of season 4 in 2009.

"The Hub" and "Revelations" had better be good or else.

Glad to have you back, if slightly behind schedule. But that's okay, because my DVR broke and so I haven't had the chance to watch the Lost finale yet.

I can't wait to hear what you make of "The Doctor's Daughter". "Silence in the Library" is excellent so far, although those people I know who were introduced to Alex Kingston on ER have found her character a bit irritating (to me she'll always be Moll Flanders).

Have you guys been watching for themes and foreshadowing on DW this series? There's no Bad Wolf, Torchwood or Saxon, but there are definitely recurring elements that have got to be building toward something, and the speculation has been a lot of fun.

Flynn is adorable. I'd totally have voted for him had I known as much in a timely manner.

excuse me please, but I just have to enter my quite rare but then all the more super girlish pale pink fluffy-mode. But you know - this casual elbow-over-knee-thing was just adorably cute - awww
pink-mode ends

I really should stay away from those overly fangirlish/fanwomanlish/fanGRANDma-ish  barrowman-appreciation-forums - they have a really bad influence on me. if I ever utter the word "squee" in a serious way, please delete my account.

But back to topic - or rather: finally arriving at the actual topic:

Games: I liked to play sweet two-dimensional games on my younger sister's nintendo something during the early 90s. And later using a proper computer. Games like lemmings or super mario with this dinosaur or dragon (?) of his and something with a gorilla ( as far as I remember) and rayman. I loved that. Simple hopping onto things - mostly mushrooms, collecting coins and forcing turtles out of their shells and gliding through worlds of ice - wonderful.
But somehow I lost it and when I thought about play-stationing again everything seemed to be 3-dimensional - and you know - I just thought that to be too much pressure. I had all brain-cells going just to watch after what happened left and right - it was far too much to worry about what was up behind and in front of me.

Another topic: tv-series. I really enjoy your comments on doctor who/torchwood - simply because I am able to watch it remotely at the same time. Not quite legally - but at least not as illegally as I would watch all the american series you talk about.
That's really something that annoys me increasingly. For example: here in germany, we'll have the first david-tennant-as-the-doctor-appearance next weekend. So we have just finished season one. SEASON ONE! And of course: Torchwood nowhere on the horizon. And there are other series that have never been shown on german tv (firefly for example) - the final two angel-seasons were shown quite recently somewhere at nightly hours.
Considering how close the world wide web-fandom is -  it's increasingly frustrating, that we can't legally watch new episodes of our favorite series when they are actually discussed within the "insert-favorite-series-name-here" - community.

Ummm.... rant over i think ;-)

Hope your eye is better soon, Lee :-)

Okay okay - you all have been so forthcoming about your gaming backgrounds, and Lee's been on my case since I made fun of him for being a Wii guy... so here goes.

FACT: My video game path was Atari / PC / Sega Genesis / PlayStation / Xbox 360. (note no Nintendo in the mix)

FACT: I do tend to favor the shoot-em-up, guts & glory, zombie destruction games.

SECRET CONFESSION: i always kinda loved Spyro The Dragon.

sigh. Now you know all.

If ya got money to throw away, I would be happy to accept it into my "eventually will buy a new console" fund! my console at the moment is a wonderful NES emulator (NESCafe) cause my computer has the crappiest graphics card.

The blob one (or goo) sounds a lot like lemmings! LOVED that game. Question: what are your guy's favourite NES or SNES games (or that generation of games)?

Great vlog this week. Having a guest definitely shake things up in a good way.

I damn the fact that I didn't vote for Flynn in top 10 geek guys! Had I remember who he was(and how he looked like) I would have voted for him (great tats and facial hair btw). Strangely I first heard of him when he lauched the top gay characters a year ago (from Towleroad or AfterElton/Ellen) and recently heard again of him when he was voted #2 as the hottest... and also his article of the gay side of Bully. So although I am not a regular reader of Gaygamer I visit the websitewhen an article stand out and is reported on the other gay websites.

Also there's this.

Would you like me to just email these things when I find them? I'm not good for much else. :P

I don't think you're old enough to remember but the first thing that we had when we we're kids was one of those tennis like games where the two lines go up and down either side of the screen and you have to try and stop the 'ball' going over the edge of the screen, You had a box each with a dial that moved the little 'bat', does that count?

Now I'm a Wii girl though. 

Pong! that's it, how lame would that seem now, and you wouldn't remember it you're much to young. I can even remember when you had to actually get up to change the channel on the telly.

I see you're the other person who had a nintendo 64, I thought I was the only one, I didn't know anyone else that had one they were not considered cool, but I loved mine.

Quite a snoozer for me. I cant believe they followed such a stunner with such a weak one. Not even the revelation that the Six is pregnant made a dent on me. It was the logical conclusion from the previews. Since they cant concieve with each other, I have a feeling its not Tighs; but then again, the four are supposed to be special so we will see.

Gaeta, his leg and his song. I cant believe how many people dismissed it as annoying, everything is a clue in this show. Could be singing about Danna, the line of true love correlates with what the oracle told her, but what would be the point of that. I think its about the final one, who I think its a woman. Quite a few thing fit. It was no coincidence Ethena bumped into her before the shooting.

Oh well, well see. Two weeks I reckon. The last show of this half of the season its not called Revelations for nothing.

BTW, the shooting was not irrational, it was to deliberate. And interesting thought about Hera.

And what do you guys think of changing "Last Supper"picture on BSG site? 

Cant wait for friday to come.
