My Side is the Side of Love, Hope, and Nuclear Wessels

Post #200!

So apparently the Doctor Who tellymovie is coming to our shores sometime in the next year. Which means, hilariously, that the Who Review gets to bash the only canonical 90s instalment of the show. (Yes, I could bash away now, having already seen it on YouTube, but I like listening to commentaries and so on before rendering a judgment. That goes completely contrary to my "judge it from a non-fan's perspective" stance that I paid lip service to in my Silurians review, but hey, sometimes you just have to make exceptions.)

Also on the Who Review horizon: The Seeds of Death (probably Wednesday or thereabouts), and then perhaps a Third Doctor story. Either that or The Androids of Tara, simply because I want to watch that one again, but I kind of want to do all the Key to Time serials together.

After a bit of self-indulgent archive trawling, I found a review for Revelation of the Daleks that I wrote back when I was a wide-eyed idealist who pulled his punches. I'm going to leave them as two separate reviews and probably link them to each other at some point.

Now that that's out of the way, a word to the video game industry. STOP WITH THE FIRST-PERSON PLATFORMING! First-person mode is for one thing and one thing only - shooting. That is it.

And finally a word to the internet: stop being slow, and stop with the ads that you can't skip or get off the screen. Nobody likes those.

Oh, have I mentioned that Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier is awesome? I got it one week ago today and am now starting my 22nd listening.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
