Netflix has just let its contract with Nickelodeon run out completely.  No Dora or Diego for the kids on Netflix.

Suddenly, we decided to try Amazon Prime and might drop Netflix.  Coincidence?

Posit:  the best part of the 11th Doctor's action theme is the swingy oboe riff that sounds completely out of place in a minor key but fits anyway.  Discuss.

I have not seen Doctor Who.

However, I have seen the Doctor Who/Ponies crossover audio play, which is actually pretty good.

It's primarily audio driven, but it's accompanied by a slideshow of still images that match the audio. The first couple of episodes were also fully animated by a fan of the series.

I saw Zebes in the title and thought 'huh, well, it's clearly not going to be Metroid related but oh well'. Then I clicked on it. Kinda of amusing comic.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

This will probably fall on deaf ears, but the two Doctor Who/Ponies crossover audio plays are so excellent. Doctor Whooves & Assistant references the ponies canon much more, and is pretty light in tone. Doctor Whooves Adventures borrows more from Doctor Who, and is considerably darker. Both are very well done, but you will probably like Adventures more if you are not a fan of ponies.

Also, I think I'm done with speedrunning VVVVVV any%. I got a time of 15:46 around a week ago, with 31 unintended deaths. I haven't been able to beat it ever since, and the closest I've gotten is 15:49. 31 extra deaths sounds like a lot, but I don't think I'll beat that time unless I start practicing certain rooms very heavily. I'm planning to do some 100% runs until I get a time I'm satisfied with, and then I'm done.

Interesting.  It guessed Kivrin Engle instead of Verity Kindle; I would not have expected it to get either one.  I suppose I could go more obscure...

This thing is so fascinating.
"Is your character a woman?" - Yes
"Is your character married to a famous woman" - Well, probably not.

But in the end it still gets it mostly.

I already tried Donald X., and I told it to add it...  (If you stump it you can say to add it and then the mods will add it if they want)

Is your character white? Yes
Does your character have very dark skin? Uh, no.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

I mean he *eventually* got it, but it took 30 or so questions and a misguess.

Oh... Gotcha.

Most of mine have taken at least 50 questions and at least one missed guess.  Lazarus Long took it 50 questions, it was completely stumped by D. D. Harriman--and "The Man Who Sold the Moon" ought not to be that obscure (but obviously is)--though it's amusing that it tried to guess both Carnegie and Ford for his character, two men who definitely influenced the character's depiction, after asking multiple times if it was a real person.

It was able to get Santiago Ramon y Cajal in 75 after guessing Niels Bohr and another scientist.  I was impressed that it got Rosalind Franklin in under 50 questions.

He's finds a specific professor from my uni. I knew of him for quite long, haven't tested him recently though.

...Wow.  And when I do real life people that I know, I get things like "your brother", and "your best friend" and such.

Also, as soon as I saw "Akinator" I immediately read it in the voice of Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirz.  (Which it was able to get in ~30 questions).
