i am proud  by the way did those little fat baby things in doctor who remind you of the kodama from princess mononoke? Ace you legend. I knew they reminded me of something but I couldn't figure out what it was. They were awesomely cute. I enjoyed the Doctor Who episode, even if it did take the lame Doctor and Dona missing each other a bit far. Can't be too long before the new Miyazaki film, although I'm not sure about the watercolour art style. The art in some of his films is nothing short of beautiful.

i'll see if i can find the gold cartridge, i'll pass on the bj though http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/clefairy.gif"Cute but dangerous". And fucking clefairy pissed me off earlier. I got into a rare fight with one on Mt. Moon, but I'd just used up my last pokeball catching a Geodude. Cunting cunt cunts.

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

I guess all you work monkeys will be off to bed soon, but hey ho, might get some mileage out of this thread.
Ben is Chillaxing, watching some old Doctor Who's and thinking about drawing a new avatar. Do your old Doctor Whos, go back as far as the Silurians and their relatives the Sea Devils?

I have been watching a fair bit of Pertwee recently, but not on Silurians or Sea Devils.
I think I remember watching the Sea Devils serial as a kid, when they used to repeat old Doctor Who's on Friday nights. I'm guessing it was on BBC2. I must have only been about 7. I remember that The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was on before hand. I don't remember much but I loved it as a 7(ish) year old. Oh and Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
It's on my list of things to download anyway.

Man From Uncle I particulary liked the Sea Devils....because they lived in Palmerston's forts, which I could see from the flat where I lived....I had a job distinguishing between fact and fiction at the time. I still keep an eye out for Daemons when I walk the hills around Aldbourne.

The problem with Pertwee Doctor is that for a lot of the time he's sort of like an Alien UNIT James Bond style agent. Actually that's not much of a problem, it's pretty cool. It's sort of like a family friendly version of the X-Files.
Also Jo Grant would get some. Well if I had a time machine. Although she does suffer from a sort of Big-Face syndrome.

I liked the fact that the Doctor was grounded....clearly the BBC couldn't afford the special effects and they'd have been shit anyway, so a good way around it. I slept soundly at night knowing that Lethbridge-Stewart was keeping the planet free from bugs and grubs.

The actor who played the Brigadier is still alive I think. He must be getting on a bit though. It would be nice if he made an appearance in the new series.
It's been a while since a Doctor died, Tom Baker must be getting on a bit and by all accounts he like a drink or dozen, I might add him to my Death Prediction list.

One day I will own a computer capable of running these new-fangled FM's.
I got bored of CM4, even after the last patch it's bugged as fuck. Also I spilt wine over the CD.
I have been playing Planescape: Torment again a bit recently, and it's a brilliant game. Takes the whole CRPG style (Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout, etc) but takes some of the standard game mechanics and turns it inside out. The character you play in it is a bit of a Captain Jack Harkness with severe mental issues, dying becomes part of the story, which is an interesting way to twist the game. It''s also one of the few games where you can be genuinely evil throughout, evil to an extent which is bit fucked up. I've tried playing an evil character all the way through, but struggle because the the game manages to convey the wrongness about it pretty well. It's not something you can play in the evenings when you can't be arsed to concentrate, partly because it won't run in a window. I recommend it to anybody who has time for games like that if you've read this far.
I've also been playing a lot of Pokemon Blue. I thought about naming all the pokemon I caught after tef posters. You all represent different Pokemon in my head. Sounds like just the game I need for the summer...sit in the sun, drink, and be evil...cool. So which Pokeymon am I (if I even register in the Pokeymon world of your head)?

I've tried to tell a little story with not much but coloured blocks. Did I manage it? Red meets yellow, they shag, move in together, shag and have a baby (orange). Orange grows up and moves out, red leaves yellow and finds blue. They shag, move about a bit, but find a place together and shag. That is my take. If, however, you'vre tried to tell the story of the Russian Civil War, then I'm sorry I couldn't work out which one was Donekin.
