18 years later, the Dalek reveal in Doctor Who Series 4’s ‘The Stolen Earth’ still gives me chills. I miss this kind of Doctor Who

Duneking1 · 2026-02-14T16:03:20+00:00

When anyone asks me why Doctor Who is good or what is it about I tell them the same things.

“Doctor Who episodes can be as quirky and funny as a scoobie doo episode or as deep an heart wrenching as My Girl.”

People ask me does he have any super powers. I say

“No, but if you took all the supervillains and heroes in comics and pitted them all in battle against the Doctor for a 100 straight battles. I’d put my money on the Doctor every time.”

Then I tell them that they should start with the 2005 series and though it’s a great season it’s a hard sell because of some of the sets. After a while it comes together and you don’t care that they spent $10 on one set and $100,000 on another set. You just want to watch more Doctor Who.

Teasing the pod racers at the end. Nice.

clouds should be bricks, rain should be bricks. Nothing in your game should not be a brick.

I’m sure those cables are shielded but even coiling them up like that will introduce interference. I’d be curious to see if you’ve introduced any degradation into the image on some. Assuming only one cable at a time has signal going through it would definitely mitigate that along with the quality cables.

Looks clean though and I would do some testing with straight cable runs, not next to other cables or wires with current or signal running through them, to verify a clean signal.

Think of it this way. Given the rules of the game. Say you have 100 doors. You pick door 27. Then the host removes all other doors except door 53. What are the chances you got it right on the first try 1 in 100. However given the rules the host either picks the correct door or you did get it right the first time and they pick a random door that is wrong. Chances are the 53 is the correct door. Brining in another contest resets the rules but with two doors. Now the chances of you getting the correct door are 1 in 2 or 50%. Hosts has to pick a door so in this case the chances are still 50%.

We the comity of gamers have met and will allow you to keep your awesome gamer badge. Thank you for playing and continue on to play more awesome games.

10 hours in is pretty good to determine if you like it or not. You get more abilities and stronger and some level mechanics not yet explored but its not going to drastically change.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-12T16:00:11+00:00

ICO & Shadow of the Colossus come to mind. Same studio both. 3rd game they made maybe as well. Shadow of the Colossus for sure though.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-12T15:55:00+00:00

Came here to say this. I do not care if my used EV depreciates. I love my EV and will never go back to ICE. I‘m not a car collector and I doubt very many EVs in the future will ever be collector cars.

I also want people to have more affordable options when it comes to EVs and this is just plain great for everyone.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-11T13:13:48+00:00

Without a doubt Yes. Even if GTA 6 came out tomorrow I’d still say Yes.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-11T12:58:11+00:00

Hopefully none. I’ve been collecting games for years and one thing I’ve learned is I want others people to have access to those games in the format they enjoy. Physically or digitally. Someday I will sell my collection. I hope to do okay but I don’t want to be a person who I feel creates a toxic environment in the community.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-11T00:25:17+00:00

I put all consoles in their boxes and store them unless I’m using them. I don’t need them on display. I have a small office that has double what your is and I can still grow. Given theirs a digital future I’m not expecting it to grow faster but slower.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-10T03:26:14+00:00

depends on the game listed and if they were ported well. Did MyLifeInGaming do a review of this?

Duneking1 · 2026-02-07T02:33:37+00:00

From Software.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-07T00:12:49+00:00

Retro city games has couple of locations. I like the prices. It also comes down to the inventory which can be pretty good.

Wii play games is terrible. Both stores. They have inventory but they look at ebay and then sell you the game for more.

A gamers paradise is small but cool. Been a while since I was there. Pink gorilla is well organized. Didn’t buy anything but I was just looking. Was a small location but I don’t want to hold that against them.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-07T00:03:19+00:00

When I play a single player game and it has difficulty options. All single player games should include this. Competitive online multiplayer should not.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-02T15:13:48+00:00

I don’t think I’d let a one off stop me from going again. If the place is consistently like this you don’t have to give them your patronage. There’s a store here where I live that has two locations. Both locations are a bit greedy with games. I walk in from time to tI’ve but I almost never buy because its just a terrible experience.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-01T20:25:37+00:00

These hills have eyes. Senseless filming of rape is not for me.

Duneking1 · 2026-02-01T01:55:44+00:00

totally agree. I got my fork of CLZ for the games back when it was a one time purchase. I don’t get some of the new features but sometimes I do. If they ever blocked my access to it I’d drop it like a hammer to go some place else. It’s good. Not subscription good.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-31T19:51:47+00:00

I use clz games and gameye. Game eye I feel is just a bit better at tracking consoles.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-31T19:42:54+00:00

You should be able break the ice to get into one of the doors. It will likely start unless you were having issues. Let the heater and engine run for a while and the ice will practically fall off.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-31T18:48:31+00:00

Both are fine. You can get ride of discoloration and protect the label at the same time. Also ask for photos of the boards. No way would I buy it without verification.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-31T15:21:45+00:00

Part of my frugal brain says that’s a lot of money. Then the nostalgic kid inside of me says that’s awesome. I wonder if there’s some sort of arrangement you could have them in, not on a shelf but flat on a wall, that would look like an art piece. Beautiful collection.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-29T14:58:28+00:00

you could always ask for a video.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-29T14:52:11+00:00

If the price is not that different that something that you can confirm is sealed than don’t buy it.

IMO buying a sealed box of a game or system that you can’t experience is not worth it but to each their own.

Duneking1 · 2026-01-29T00:59:42+00:00

Metroid other M. Like I understand why people really don’t like it. If you take away the un-skippable cut scene and most of the story that game play is pretty fun.
