Paul McGann 'Doctor Who' return unlikely: "One Doctor at a time"
 

"This [50th anniversary] is a party time, so we're doing things differently," the BBC drama's head writer told the press at the official Doctor Who Celebration at London's ExCel. 

 

"One Doctor at a time is the real rule - 'Who would be on the lunchbox?' is always my question when we talk about having more than one Doctor."

 

Moffat added that Doctor Who will now return "militantly" to the idea of featuring just one Doctor at a time.

 

"I have a slight paranoia that at the moment it seems like every bugger's playing the Doctor - more or less all of Equity!" he joked. "Quite soon, it's going to go back to? 'There is one Doctor and that's who he is' - he's one man with many faces, he's not a committee of people with unusual hair."

Steven Moffat has teased Peter Capaldi's first full scene as the Doctor in Doctor Who.
 
The BBC sci-fi showrunner told press at the official Doctor Who Celebration at London's ExCel that Capaldi "leaps around the place" in "post-regeneration madness".
 
"We've only seen the tiniest moment - it's just the beginning of a process," Moffat explained.
 
"But of course, he's brilliant and... he's an extraordinarily vital and physical performer."
 
Doctor Who's head writer went on to insist that 55-year-old Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor is "not at all elderly in style".
 
"People keep talking about this 'elderly' Doctor that we've cast? he leaps around the place probably more than any other Doctor in that first scene," Moffat revealed.
 
"But that's not how he's going to play it - that's just him in the post-regeneration madness. It's something we're still working on."

The Time Lord has conquered the box office.

A special nationwide 3D screening of the Doctor Who 50th anniversary TV special ?Day of the Doctor? grossed a stunning $4.8 million at the U.S. box office.

What makes this particularly impressive: That?s from one night. The 75-minute ?Day of the Doctor? screened in 660 theaters as a one-night-only special event Monday and averaged $7,155 per location, with 320,000 tickets sold. Granted, the tix were $15 a pop, so that certainly helped.

Yikes, $15 a pop?  Uhh, I watched it just fine for free.   Of course it's a different experience, specially if you decide to make a night of it with friends and so on.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays.

The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
