Well, it's finally happening. My account is running out and I don't plan to resubscribe.

It's a shame that I don't use any of the new All Access parts, but alas these last few years this has been my forum of choice.
That's why I'm posting this here rather than in City Life. Hopefully nobody objects.

We've had some fun times, talking about geek culture, all the films, tv, comics and (in the old days) video games.
One of my favourite things was coming here and seeing what everyone thought of the latest episodes of Doctor Who. It's funny, when I joined these forums, Doctor Who was still in cancelled status from 1989, and was more or less an internationally unknown cult sci-fi show. Since then I've seen it return to our screens and grow. It gets a good discussion going these days from people all over the globe.

Another big thing these forums (specifically the tech support forums) helped with is selecting and building my various gaming computers over the years. They turned me from someone who only bought pre-mades into someone confident enough to build my own.

And finally, my thoughts on City of Heroes and why I'm leaving.
This is a great game, one of my first MMOs and honestly, the only one that ever caught my attention. It's also one of the best super hero video games in general. However, inevitably, after 7 years, even with all the fantastic content being released, my overall enjoyment of the game has run it's course.
However, I do not regret a single moment of my time playing, from the SG mates I found, to the unfathomably long mega-gaming-athon that was a horrific Dr. Quaterfield Taskforce, to the Hamidon Raids, to hitting my first level 50.
I remember seeing it all, from the first update when capes were introduced, (capes!) To the Hollows and Striga and Croatoa. The remade zones of the Rikti War Zone (née Crash Site) and Faultline. The births of the Rogue Isles and Praetoia.
The original Cryptic studios, being bought, becoming NCNorCal and eventually Paragon Studios
These are all things I shall remember for a long, long time.
So thank you all, from the Developers who made and maintain this game, to the forumites who have chatted with me over the years, you've all made this a thoroughly great 7+ years.

Goodbye!

Well, the sweat on you will boil, but not in a heat kind of way, but because of pressure. So you won't burn because of that.

He's right about the heat, vacuum does not transmit heat well at all, that's why Thermos flasks have an area of vacuum in them, you'll be dead long before enough heat has radiated away from you for you to die.
The biggest problem on space ships is cooling, not heating.

As I said, the biggest problem is the sun, you'd likely be cooked dead by totally unblocked UV radiation (plus general heat)... or you might suffocate first, no one's ever tried to find out.

He can't survive indeffinitly without oxygen, he just has a longer grace period than humans.

The effects of space are actually exaggerated quite a bit by TV and Films.

Humans can actually survive in space for as long as it takes them to suffocate, which I think is about three minutes iirc.

Now, it won't be a pleasant experience, there'll be swelling everywhere and stuff, but you don't explode or freeze or die instantly.
In fact, the biggest threat is from sunlight, since you don't have the Earth's atmosphere to protect you.

SPOILERS naturally.

I really enjoyed it, thought it was just a good ol' bit of fun.
I liked the little continuity nods, such as Androzani Major (As seen in The Caves of Androzani, the last 5th Doctor's adventure) as well as a mention of the Forest of Cheem (As seen in the 9th Doctor's second adventure, The End of the World).

The ending was cheesy as hell, but hey, Christmas episodes, whatcha gonna do? Overall, I had fun.

The question is, would it all vanish from their stomachs when he stops focusing?

Remember, digestion takes a while, so even if it was edible, it's still have to be focused on long enough to go into the digestive tract.

Fee, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman...

What the hell am I reading here?

I'm pretty sure it was the Daleks that were destroying reality. Also, the Doctor didn't break up with her for her safety, they were forced apart.

Did the person who made that even watch Doctor Who?

I'm currently listening to the missing stories on Audio, but I'm also using the Lost in Time Box set that brings together a bunch of odd episodes they have from missing serials. They have three episodes of the Dalek's Master Plan for instance, which I watched in place of listening to their audio.

Galaxy 4! Finally a surviving episode! That's a brilliant find!
And Episode 2 of Underwater Menace? That might put the story into possible animated reconstruction territory!

It's great to see after all these years new episodes still pop up. Gives me hope for episode 4 of The Tenth Planet (Hartnell's last episode).

I'd always thought that Nemesis was (loosely) based on Doctor Doom, what with his plans within plans, ruler-like stature and replicants so that you can never be sure he really is dead.

If you think these accents are other the top you should try actually going to Scotland, because these are pretty coherent.
