Feel like there’s a Shadowrun campaign buried in here somewhere.
I can't put my finger in exactly why but "are the fae open source" is just a nightmare of a sentence

When they die, the greatest warriors of the Astra Militarum become Imperial heroes.

The most zealous become Imperial saints.

And all the rest become

Quick question for fans of The Sarah Jane Adventures: is the fanfare that plays whenever Mr. Smith deploys non-diegetic, or are all the characters hearing it?

My #GuessTheGame #8 was the incredible AND ORIGINAL Command and Conquer, played here on PlayStation One.

A lot of near misses with Red Alert, this week but I'm afraid this one was the very first.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are doing a a podcast called Pondcast where they reminisce about Doctor Who. No word on when it will become available but they’ve already recorded a few and have had Steven Moffat as a guest.

I think I'll watch an ITV pilot and read a short story (both from 1996) today.

On a completely unrelated note, I wish Steven Moffat - one of my favourite writers, in any medium - a very, VERY happy 64th birthday!

All these heroes, yet only one ever showed his 1911 the respect it deserved...

I'm bending the rules a little, but if I know you as well as I think, you probably won't complain...

I thought I'd try to psyche myself up for "The War Between the Land and the Sea" by finally watching the only Doctor Who spin-off I haven't seen yet.

...Yeah, I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'm not sure if the Incomparable's "Total Party Kill" podcast could ever get Sara Pascoe on an episode, but she HAS played Dungeons and Dragons at least once (on a live-stream for Comic Relief) - and judging by this week's episode of QI, she has the right instincts for the game.

A big "Thank you" to this week's episode of Have I Got News For You; I've saved this screencap for when I eventually get around to playing Nier: Automata.

Randomly getting the urge to put on a #DoctorWho blu-ray.

The Bells of Saint John.

An underrated gem!

Smith is on a roll, Coleman adds a new energy to the show, the cinematography is excellent - especially how cool it makes London look - and Murray Gold’s music feels like James Bond meets Who.

Wait, baseball is a SPORT?!

I just thought it was the name of a bat-manufacturing company.

All the talk I've seen about Dispatch, and so far I've seen NO-ONE else mention how similar its overall tone is to the TV show Archer.

Am I showing my age already? I wasn't planning to have a midlife crisis until next year, but this might actually trigger it early...
