    Well I thought that had been shown to only deposit the teleportee next to the body of the robot. But I guess that makes sense.
  2. I could swear he quit acting before that.

    Yeah, Wikipedia confirms (insert standard [citation needed]):

    In 2003, he announced his retirement from acting to concentrate on photography, but subsequently appeared in several television commercials with William Shatner for Priceline.com. He appeared in a commercial for Aleve, an arthritis pain medication, which aired during the 2006 Super Bowl.
    Also, apparently he has definite plans to return on Fringe.

    But as pointed out, there gets to a point when you realise that any change can effect everything. Especially when earth's destruction was at stake, what if, in The Empty Child the Doctor hasn't been there and the whole world was recreated by the Nanogenes?
    A whole host of fixed points would not be able to exist.
    And since the whole concept of non-fixed points in time is that time can be changed or rewritten, there was no guarantee that the Doctor would be there to set things right.
    Given how many fixed points the Doctor seems to be involved in, one might conjecture that the Doctor's entire existence is a line of fixed points. But then you start getting into arguments about free will.

    I had a thought today: what happened to the Doctor and the Tesselecta crew when the Tesselecta Doctor was burned? They never had the opportunity to leave without River, Amy and Rory noticing.

    Yeah, there was the Doctor's rebellious teen period where he decided to stop defending Earth...

    And why would he lie to River? The entire point of the guide was so she would always be able to recognize him.
  5. Isn't this the same guy who quit acting, then appeared in Star Trek 2009 and Fringe?

    It's a common misconception.

    Neither of which was part of Going Rogue, by the way.

    Plenty of people without Facebook accounts have managed to get codes. Something else might be stopping you, but it's not the devs.

    Except for the fact that River Song has a book containing a list of incarnations 1-11 (minimally), complete with pictures.

    The Atraxi also seemed to only be aware of 1-10, so if they saw a new Doctor running about they'd know it was 12+.

    I was only Tier 7 in the VIP beta anyway, so I wouldn't have had access to the celestial stuff unless they did a global test unlock of it sometime while I wasn't looking. Despite my global account's May '04 creation date, I've had some long unpaid downtimes over the strange aeons, so the new tier system regards me as a bit of a piker.
    You always could have "purchased" extra point bundles in Beta to bump yourself up to Tier 9.

    I'm the same way with my account. I wasn't here in the beginning, but despite only having 3 and a half years of paid time I actually registered shortly before Issue 5.

It's still a rather silly badge requirement. Not as bad as when Zookeeper required, what was it, a thousand Rikti monkeys? Ten thousand? It was originally some truly laughable number...
    10,000. It's actually 1,000 now.

You kind of have to go out of your way to pay attention to Twinshot, and yes, by that point you should already know most of what she teaches you.
    Hey, just like graduating college!
  14. Shouldn't it be "The Facepalmening"? The answer is yes.

    The end of Vincent Ross' arc. Can actually be pretty tedious on a low-AoE-damage character.
  16. Making direct reference to competition games (especially linking to wikis about them) is quite verboten by the forum rules, so don't be surprised when your post gets gutted.
  17. They're for unlocking the ability to use capes and auras at level 1. I don't know if the Astral Merit version of the unlocks are account-level or character-level, but since the Market version is account-level then yes I think it would be pointless.

    Completely forgot about that, probably because the first half of the season was completely forgettable for me.
  19. Is this someone who left ages ago, or are we talking about the person who was a long-time PinnBadger until he was silenced, banned (from the channel, not game), and then up and left Pinnacle a few months ago?
  20. The glaring flaw in your plan is that it requires running Synapse.

    The Doctor was inside controlling the droid, so it was still the Doctor saying it, just by proxy. So...

    1. He actually is 200 years older, which may have happened in between episodes at a few different points during the past half-season

    or 2. The Doctor lies.

    Quote:
    What did the Doctor tell River? We've been lead to believe it was his name, but she says it isn't, but the only thing that makes sense with their reactions and such was that he said something about how he beat the time problem... but then what identified River as doctors wife if that's what he did say...
    Wasn't it "look into my eye"? She saw the real Doctor inside and realized how he was planning to escape his certain death.
  22. Another still-hanging thread: Who was building the TARDIS in Craig's old house? Seems like if it had been The Silence that thread would have been resolved by now.
  23. There's already missions in the game like this involving Syndicate, Destroyers, and Legacy Chain (although in the latter case, the Legacy Chain aren't weaker, you're just much much stronger).

    Edit: Sorry misread that. What I was referring to was all posts being marked read, not unread.
    Um, yeah, I don't know why I said unread, I definitely meant marked as read.

    And I take it back anyway, when I logged into the forum just now after getting up I found everything marked as read. So screw you, forum.

    I had the same thought on my Corruptor. Again, it's purely anecdotal, but it definitely doesn't feel like 50%.
