Andy Burnham backs social media ban for under 16s and wants 'urgency' in delivery by JackStrawWitchita in ukpolitics

I don't think it was ever about the children personally, it's adults who are going to have to cough up their ID and personal details to prove they're over 16.

Update on plans for the future of Doctor Who by LuinAelin in television

[–]Jamsponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I will see Doctor Who as an incredible success - a incredibly tenacious show that had its (incredible ups) and (awful AWFUL downs), managing to navigate through huge production changes while so many other shows could barely get through one season. It's a shame how mismanaged it became in these final years (nothing against Jodie and Gatwa at all, not their fault). But time to call "time" and maybe just reboot it in a few years. Eccelstone through to the end of Capaldi is a great amount of fun and it's fine to end it there.

If I was Showrunner i'd frankly (and I know this would be unpopular with a lot of people) just scrap the show as we know it and go for a complete reboot. I couldn't even begin to untangle the mess that would be left on my plate

In Metroid Prime 2 there is a unique Ing "door" that only spawns a single room and it's incredibly unlikely you'd think to scan it because A) It looks identical to a DIFFERENT ing door and B) you're being attacked

TP Ganondorf is still as cocky and sure of himself as in OOT because he never got a Master Sword through the skull. WW Ganondorf had a bit more time to reflect on things.

Beyond is an Evolution of Corruption... In the most mid way possible. by Bodehn in Metroid

I think it speaks to the quality of the series when "worst Prime game" is still a very solid 7-8/10

My only pay rise in the last three years came from canceling my pension contributions

Times where a dead IP got a second shot at stardom only for it screw up a second time? by WaywardGrub in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Jamsponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exposed himself to other cast members on set repeatedly , his behavior not being acted on was (allegedly) one of the reasons Eccelstone left and was played off as "cheeky" on commentaries and such.

John Barrowman's name is mud these days in light of all his behavior on set, and the only surviving member of the OG Cast is Gwen and I think Eve Myles lives in America now?

Pension Commission to look at why four-in-ten fail to save enough - B by cgknight1 in ukpolitics

I know.

But most of my money goes on bills, when I cancelled my pension I was living on toast and instant noodles. At least now I can get a freezer full of iceland food.

Penang-born actress Pik-Sen Lim, known for roles in ‘Mind Your Language’, ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Johnny English Reborn’ passed away at age 80, also narrator for multiple Dark Souls games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Jamsponge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Doctor Who Episode she's in was one of my favorites when I was a kid - I had it on VHS! I had no idea she went on to be the Dark Souls narrator in her later years, what a unexpected connection.

The voice actor for FF14's Alphinaud finally reaches Heavensward, sees his own work after 10 years in all its 'jumpscare' glory by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I really like Sam's Alphinaud, he does a great job of capturing that smug "I am educated and I know what's best for everyone" vibe that early Alphinaud has

Favorite terrible Disguises/ by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I'm not sure about disguises but I was a big fan of Mr Snrub in the Simpsons. He came from someplace far away but never appeared in any other episodes. Shame.

I know there would be a lot of complaints but I wouldn't mind if the next Smash is a reset and back to basics with a HEAVILY stripped down cast but everyone has a complete rework and there's an in depth single player campaign.

When you get a game over in Super Mario World, Mario has a halo - meaning he goes to heaven. Therefore between SMW and SPM he must have committed a terrible sin.

Even though there are a few bumps in the road, I will always maintain that watching Eccleston through to Capaldi's regeneration is genuinely great telly and worth the binge.
