I'm thinking along the lines of...

Why is this series, which is obviously very popular, especially to be winning the votes by such a large margin, so close to being cancelled and on some stupid hiatus??

Why don't more of these fans actually watch it?

Beggars belief, tbh

....so why is it on hiatus???

Just looking at the voting polls for tv.com reviews of 2011, here

Why is this show so close to being cancelled??

Jeez, that's a bad start to the year already!

Still, he had a good long life, so no regrets.

That list includes some of my favourite movies of all time, I ADORED Highlander and will watch it again in his memory.

Also, that's just a prediction from that website. there's been no mention from the BBC of an Easter Special yet.

Hey all

Update for you, due to the amazingly good year for rock music, my show will be starting earlier than planned

The stream will be running from 9pm, with the Review Of The Year show starting at about 9.30ish, right through past midnight!

So, if you fancy rocking through the New Year, come join us for a dance in Atlas Park on the Union server, in the Rogues Radio channel in game or in the Rogues Radio chat room on our website!!

Hope to see you there!

Aye, I remember all the fuss way back when, when people realised that a TV licence in the UK could be enforced even if you didn't have TVm just the ability to recieve the signal, ie a VCR.

I think nowadays it also includes having a PC in the home with a internet connection, just because of BBC iPlayer. That's why content gets blocked to other countries.

Oh I give in.

Do you not think that maybe people act towards you as you say that's because you constantly post the silliest, most ridiculous threads and posts all the time?

This thread is a perfect case in point. You know it's against the forum rules, yet you posted it. You know it will get deleted, yet you posted it. The original concept of the thread is blatantly ridiculous as well, if the movie and TV industry thought for a SECOND there was any chance of DVR being bad for business, they would have moved heaven and earth to get it shut down, yet we've not seen on single thing anywhere to suggest this, so it's clearly not even remotely like piracy.

So, either you genuinely don't realise how silly your posts and thread are, or you're a troll out for the kicks of getting people to respond to you. Either way, you kind of open yourself to the responses you get.

You might want to be a little more specific then.

Anyway, regardless of what site it is, if it's a private site, then people can damn well say whatever they like, within the relevant laws of of their countries, etc etc. You don't like it? Don't read it then.

Next you'll be going in to peoples houses and telling them what they can and can't talk about

Hey all!

It's New Years Eve tomorrow night (or tonight, depening on when you read this ) and I'll be doing a special Rock Zone Review Of The Year show!

Tune in at 10pm UK time for the show, I'll be looking at the events of the year and playing all of my favourite tracks of the past year from the best in Rock and metal, right through to the UK New Year!

The obvious link is in my sig, hope to see you there!

Very well predicted, but you know, it's fun watching the craziness that goes on in his head, it's like a little Durakken world

Also, on topic, arguably VCR's could be more classed as a form of piracy as it's a physical medium for it to be kept on, DVR's by their nature are transient and intangible formats that will eventually run out of space.

Interesting how VCR didn't destroy the movie industry like a lot of people said it would

Oh, also.....IBTL

I don't think it's remotely the same.

DVR, unless you have more money than sense and own about a dozen of them, you eventually run out of space, so the TV stuff you're getting isn't permanent.

The adverts, yeah, you might skip past, but you do see them, albeit superfast and almost subliminally. I know I skip past adverts, but every so often one catches my eye and I end up rewinding to watch it.

Also, there's a big difference between recording something on a DVR, watching it and then deleting it than there is is downloading a film, burning it to disk and either keeping forever or worse still, selling it for a profit like the true pirates do.

I'm a MASSIVE fan of try before you buy. I've lost count of the number of albums I've downloaded, listened to and then immediately gone out and bought it becuase I've liked it so much. With downloaded albums being a lot cheaper than the physical version, it's a no-brainer for me and it's the way the industry should have gone a LONG time ago. Same applies for movies. I've downloaded a movie and then gone out of bought it as a result, and the few I've watched and not liked, well, I still pay for my Sky subscription so they still get the money they would have got from me watching it a few months later on TV, I just did it a bit earlier is all.

Some might lump me in with the bad guys, I don't really care. The industry gets the same money from me it would anyway. The only films I get on download are the ones that have been released on DVD. I didn't pay a lot of money for a good TV system to watch some crappy camcorder jobbie from the cinema. If I like it, I go out and buy it, hence the over 900 DVD's sat on my shelves above my head atm.

If I don't like it, I delete it.

It amuses me that other industries use the try before you buy approach and it works for them. From the big stuff, like car sales where you can test drive, to my local bakers who have samples of buns on the counter for me to try first. Same goes with games, they let me test them with demos first. The music and movie industry should adopt something similar and let people get things at a GOOD price, rather than trying to fleece us for too much to begin with.

I enjoyed it, as always.

Bit of foreshadowing for the new series though, anyone notice how none of the other characters called him Doctor, it was always Caretaker?

Wonder if that's going to be a recurring theme, given how he wants to disappear from the universe.

Ok, the day is here, for some of us it's already over!

What geek swag did you get given then? Anything good?

Me, I got a really cool Batman Manga Graphic Novel, very 1966 in style, with loads of colour photo's of toys from that era in it as well from my good lady

Also, got a Doctor Who 3D Chess Set, latest Doctor, 3D in that it's got lenticular images in the peices that move as you look at them

To support what's being said, this is hard to do, but can be done, took me 3 attempts, but was successful on the third.

First off, get a full team, makes life a LOT easier.

When you spawn him (that bit is easy), fly around up high above the island, spam the crap out of the Next Target button or use the target macro mentioned earlier, and then STICK WITH HIM!!

Once he gets too far away, you can lose him very easily then it's a nightmare to find again. Once you have him, scream on team you have him then attack as soon as you're all there.

It takes a bit of time, effort and good teamwork, but it can be done, there's over a 1000 people with it registered at the City Info Terminal, so it clearly can be done

If you're on a server I can help with, gimme a shout when you see it.
