What's the thoughts on last nights? I thought last weeks was a bit "meh" and wasn't all that impressed but last nights was fantastic!

Am I good man?

 

yeah it felt more like pre-matt smith Doctor and it was fantastic.

 

I am really starting to wonder what the deal is with the Missy Character

Who caught all the Star Trek references? At one point I thought wtf!? :P but I can't seem to remember them all right now (head somewhere else) but I'm sure "Into darkness" and "to boldly go" was used among others.

I didn't catch any actually and I'm a trek fan.

The Dalek also uttered "Resistance is Futile"

 

Yeah, now that you point that out it clicks but when I was watching the episode, also was a bit tired and in a rush at the time, It didn't catch.

I thought the Robin Hood episode was going to be epic garbage when I read the synopsis..

 

...but I was pleasantly surprised.  I like the dude from Da Vinci's demons playing Robin Hood, decent actor.

 

For some reason Clara's accent irritated me in that episode but I didn't really notice in the previous 2!  I thought she was a female Craig Charles for a second (I love Red Dwarf, and it's my main exposure to such an accent since I'm an Aussie).

I thought the robin hood episode was very weak. The whole part at the end with the golden arrow was just stupid. I don't like the doctor's current attitude, he has no style - it's not like he hasn't had an older body before and he was old for years on trenzalor.

Yeah I feel like the Doctor has no direction right now. It's not clear how he's going to be down the road, and by this point all the previous Doctor's (of the current run anyway) showed their personalities etc Capaldi is doing fine in the role, but he's just "mixed" as the Doctor? I don't know how else to put it. He's trying to hard to be calm maybe, but then does a Matt Smith/David Tennant OH I JUST FIGURED IT OUT moment. Know what I mean?

 

Plus, Clara has been not only (seemingly) more important story wise but as actors better as well the last couple of times out. I'll give Capaldi (and Moffat) the benefit of the doubt here, since it's only episode 3. But sooner rather than later, it'd be nice to get the Doctor and not Capaldi trying to mimic past Doctor's. At least, that's how I feel it is right now...

I think they're trying to make him seem "off", I mean he's done a new, and different, regeneration this time and I think that all plays into it.   From how confused he was at the start and even now not quite his own "doctor" but a sort of mix of old with a bit of new.  I think it'll work itself out though, as we get more episodes till he starts to differ from what Mat had going etc.    But at this point I think they're doing it on purpose.

To be honest I thought that third episode gave a pretty nice indication of his character and finally began to like him. He comes across as basically a very old (yet very childish) grumpy old man. The constant "stop laughing" as if he hates happiness with the added "I knew there wasn't a guard out there first" as his childish bickering side. 

 

Sure there was the utter stupidness of a golden arrow being shot into the ship but I wouldn't say its a first for Dr Who.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
