Brilliant choice, a nice change too. Should make the new series nice and fresh.

 

Must admit i was sweating and shaking during that build up!

 

No effing trailer still though!

Yeah surprised at new trailer but I suppose they didn't want to overshadow the announcement

I was banging my desk like drums haha

He's been in Doctor Who before:

It is not the first time Capaldi has appeared on the show - he played Roman merchant Caecilius in 2008 Doctor Who adventure The Fires of Pompeii.

Tennant will always be my favourite Doctor, but the reaction to Capaldi looks positive so far and let's hope he can take the role from strength to strength!

i was a little disappointed that they did not reveal him with the new doctors outfit as well, also VERY disappointed that they did not show the trailer they posted at ComicCon for the 50th Anniversary episode.

I caught (recorded) the last 20 mins or so of the program which I thought seemed awful and so skipped through most of it. I'm disappointed with the choice of actor; I don't remember his earlier appearance in dw or torchwood; I have seen odd bits of The Thick of it though and he seems good in that role, but I really don't see myself liking him at all as the doctor, I think he's a terrible choice. To me he's old and drab, whereas Matt, who has been fantastic, is young, energetic and fun. :(

Looking at a few of the other possibilities thrown up earlier, I think Ben Whishaw could perhaps have been an excellent choice. David Harewood I don't see fitting into the role at all, nor Olivia Coleman (heard her name suggested on the news the other day I believe). Andrew Scott is brilliant on Sherlock, not sure about this though.

I have my doubts about him too. I'm sure he will grown on me. He is a brilliant actor, though, and can do funny and serious equally well. He may be the best actor that has very held the role. It's gonna be different for sure, having an older man being the doctor.

Well I personally have seen the Doctor numerous times and each time there is a period of adjustment.   

This guy should fit right in since he himself has had previous roles on the show.

They turned out to be good anyhow...  One thing that still remains to be seen... okay now we have 12  well 13 so the question is did the Lifeforce from River add extra re-generations?  

 

I mean after all there was a spoiler of sorts where there was a regeneration that didn't go by the name of The Doctor....

It will be interesting to see how this fits in....

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
