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.

Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
