i'm sorry, but your president is in another citadel

i FINALLY found a chiptune cover of the doctor who theme. not only did i find it, but it is FUCKIN' AWESOME:

The Doctor's In Danger by Mahamajama

MUCH more aesthetically pleasing than the version made for the actual bbc micro game the mines of terror, which you can listen to here. i've never played it but i've heard once you get past the music and the less-than stellar graphic design it's a really engrossing game (well, according to hardcore gamers. which i wouldn't count myself as since echo the dolphin is enough of a challenge for my attention and patience).









also, anyone who ever wished they could have a wee doctor who game to play on their gameboy should check out one of these posts by reasonabsurd. pixel art is sexy, and so is saving gallifrey from daleks while collecting bananas for extra points! i would definitely play this game. if it actually existed. which it doesn't. :(

HAMLET! FUCK YEAH!

He failed to win a nomination for a Laurence Olivier award because a bad back prevented him from completing enough performances, but Mandrake can disclose that fans of David Tennant will have another chance to see him in the role of Hamlet.

The 37-year-old Dr Who actor and the entire cast of the RSC production are preparing to make a film version of the play in June to record for posterity his portrayal, which was described by some as the greatest Hamlet of his generation.

i think the "greatest hamlet of his generation" comment is just possibly a bit much. but who fucking cares because THEY'RE RECORDING IT!! i eagerly await patrick stewart's claudius and the scene in gertrude's closet. oh yeah! meanwhile i am too amused by the headline: "David Tennant's curtailed Hamlet will rise from the grave". zombie hamlet sounds like a project that should already exist somewhere, surely?
