Not French, but I knew exactly what you meant after reading the comment. Oh you. :lol:

Arch Linux, either vim or kate for coding, Firefox 8, git (and git-svn as a wrapper for SVN repos) for versioning. Works splendidly.

RTD had character development? :P
Well, from what I hear, his companion characters appealed to more people, as they were introduced along with their families and all, thus feeling more 'real' ...

I'm curious to see what Moffat will do next, too.
I hope he doesn't keep raising the stakes for the series finale, heh. Something a lot smaller, like an invasion or so, would be nice for a change, I think.

Hmm, my personal favourite is still , though I like too ... Not a fan its the recent blue/grey variant, though, sorry.

Out of interest, what's the font used in the logos above? :)

It is actually said that the Doctors 12th and final regeneration (Doctor number 13) is supposed to be evil. Thats the rumor at least, no?
You might be thinking of the Valeyard there ..?
Quote from Arantor on December 15th, 2011, 07:33 PM
Yup, the final regeneration is supposed to be evil, cf. The Trial of a Time Lord series but it's not entirely clear how that will work going forward...
Looks like Pete did, too. :P

Honestly, the bigger problem for converting Kyodai or similar to OS X/iOS is the fact that everything there is OpenGL oriented.
Quite. Shame the OpenGL drivers on OS X aren't nearly as good as they are on Windows and Linux, though. Experienced this myself while attempting to play games in Wine on my Macbook Air -- they run glitchy, whilst they run fine on Linux. I hear Steam had to workaround much the same issues when they ported their Source engine to OS X.

I imagine the controls could be analogue to what Nao's using in Kyodai Mahjongg on Windows. Perhaps with the addition of multitouch goodness, of course. :)

Or, make an iPad app for it, I imagine the touch aspect would work pretty well.
Oh, that's a good idea! Not sure whether there are proper Mahjongg iPad apps yet (I don't own an iPad), but worth looking into, I think. Especially since you can easily port it to iPhone and OS X afterwards.

Kyodai Mahjongg, WebGL edition? ;)

To clarify: any Doctor Who movie would be made by the BBC team, star the current TV Doctor and certainly NOT be a Hollywood reboot.
Thank you, mister Moffat.

A reboot is okay as long as the two coexist peacefully.
In theory, I suppose. However, from what this man is saying, I gather he hasn't the faintest idea what the show should be about:
Quote from David Yates
It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena. Russell T Davies and then Steven Moffat have done their own transformations, which were fantastic, but we have to put that aside and start from scratch.
Sounds like a new kind of Peter Cushing movie to me; and yes, I've seen both and utterly dislike them.

The real doom scenario is, of course:



Even BBC News are reporting it now, btw. Doesn't really say anything, but hey.

Barf. I just read it on the SFX website. We can only hope the BBC won't allow it (trademark and all). I for one would hate to see a movie being produced that doesn't tie in with continuity. That may have been acceptable during the Hartnell/Cushing era, but nowadays ..?
