This week's episode of QI talked a bit about the Greek nymph Echo, who apparently shares a very similar backstory to Solid Snake.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Happy birthday to Kenneth Colley, who would’ve turned 88 years old today. Colley played Admiral Piett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and is the only actor to play the same Imperial officer in more than one Star Wars movie.

I don't have the best track record with Doctor Who's TV spin-offs, but...

I know that plans like this require so much planning that they can't be a reaction to today's "theatrical windows" comments, but it's certainly a nice coincidence!

What strategy game when under EVERYBODY'S radar? I still think more people should play Valkyria Chronicles! It originally released on PS3, but you can pick it up on Switch right now, and I suggest you do! #RetroGaming #VideoGames #Gaming

14 years ago today, Materwelonz - a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a Spoonerism - uploaded a video about how to make a fridge in Minecraft. 6000+ videos and 100,000+ subscribers later, she's one of the most entertaining people on the web. Happy birthday, @welonz.bsky.social's YouTube channel!

I can't remember who first recommended Mrs. Davis to me, but if you think it might've been you, give yourself a big pat on the back. I really enjoyed this weird romp, and I can't wait to see whatever showrunner Tara Hernandez does next. www.itv.com/watch/mrs-da...

"In this video you can see how Udo Kier becomes Yuri. It was taken from the Red Alert 2 Collectors DVD."

RIP to Udo Kier! What a cool actor, and he made to 81 too! He’s mind-controlling Soviet dinosaurs in heaven now 😢

The man in black fled across the desert and Charlie Brown followed.

Time to mark the 62nd Doctor Who anniversary with a special episode that turns 12 today. Probably still my favourite episode, it’s just so well done. Equal parts reverential and dramatic - John Hurt portrays the tragedy of The War Doctor, and the relief at the end of - so well. Just wonderful.

On #DoctorWhoDay, it is customary for us fans to give thanks for this silly little franchise of ours. Specifically, I'd like to give thanks to whoever decided to match THIS image with THIS episode title:

Dammit, Pearl, that's a scarecrow - not a scarousedcrow.

Feel like there’s a Shadowrun campaign buried in here somewhere.

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. #RetroGaming #Gaming

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. archive.ph/2025.11.11-1...

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... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmu0...

Me, when the David Attenborough documentary ends on a cliffhanger:

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.

Happy Trans-awareness week! (13-19.11.) Shoutout to all my trans moots! You are seen, accepted and appreciated! 💞❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️💞

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.

This Han. That Leia.

Close enough for me; Happy N7 Day to you, one and all!

i am good at proofreading and do it for real cheap

And this picture of sunset at the harbour.

If you see this, QTP with a female anime character you love.

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.

Such a good episode! Especially Celia Imrie.

Drop something pink.

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...

3. Utter Horror!

I hate to criticise a show like QI, but if I had my hand on the klaxon, I'd have deducted some points from Alan Davies for this.

DOCTOR WHO should look like MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 (affectionate).

being labelled as antifa because I once played the soviet storyline in command & conquer: red alert 2

Happy 25th anniversary to the best Command and Conquer game, Red Alert 2!

What if A House of Dynamite had been made 25 years and two days ago, with lots of people on the phone? That's pretty much the answer provided by the opening scene of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. With a few invasions by armed airships and mechanical octopuses thrown in for good measure.

Me, reviewing the latest 3-hour drama by one of the world's greatest movie directors:

Not my home, but I know my way to all the Keepers.

Not my government's nuclear weapons disposal facility that secretly doubled as a massive weapons development complex, but I know my way around.

Not my home, but I knew my way around before that storm flattened it.

I just wanted to sit down and watch some Thomas Hardy adaptations ... but alas, they were made by the BBC, so I ended up playing Spot The Time Lords after all.

Nicefield's playing Life Is Strange today! I'm playing Life Is Strange today! Why don't YOU play Life Is Strange today, too?
