Cute? They terrified me and im living in fear that they appear in Half-Life 2 i only need those and the black head crabs to form an alliance and then im doomed.

Seriously, What the F**k? Thats even more random then I get. In my opinion the Doctor Who production team have overused the Daleks like like Berman and Braga did with the Borg on Star Trek: Voyager. Yes they are good villains, yes they make for good plots, but the impact has been lost now. One reason both were popular was because they only used them occasionally, fueling speculation and theories because people were curious. However thats not the case, thanks to bigger budgets and much more effective special effects (Not counting a certain Sci Fi movie series) they can use them more, and thats made them less scary. They seriously need to give the Daleks a few years off now.

As much as I want to see Davros again. I think even if he is in Series 4 the amount of times we have seen the Daleks will affect the plot badly. I would be very disappointed.

Perhaps your right but i just cant imagine a Dr who series without them.Has there actually been a series where the Daleks dont appear?
Sorry for the randomness.

Daleks are and forever will be associated with Doctor Who. However thats no excuse for having them appearing every time, people will get sick of them appearing.

Plenty of series have not had Daleks appearing, check the original run, notice how seldom they were used too. Every incarnation of the Doctor so far has had Daleks appearing with them. if you count the TV movie when you heard them in the background screaming "Exterminate!"

Oh Darwin the black headcrabs. Those thing pissed me off in the beginning. After a while you get used to them, though.

1% health left if one of those damm things hit you. The amount of times I had to reload Ravenholm before i could survive. >.<

Thats a brilliant and cute Dalek drawing.:D I would be very surprised if they dont appear in series 4 of new Who RTD seems to love them. If not I just ordered Genesis of the Daleks to keep me going. On the subject of the older series can anyone recommend some classic episodes out on DVD at the mo. Trying to watch the older series but not sure where to begin. Is there any with the Cybermen in it ?

Ravenholm caused me to die 15 times before i found my way out of it but then i can blame the slowness of the PS3 version combined with me being crap at it.

Any futher comments on improving my grammer would be helpfull if this is again hard to read:)

in regards to grammar check your spelling, while i quoted this the Firefox addon noted plenty.

In regards to Cybermen stories i would suggest you start from the beginning and watch 'The 10th Planet'. That was the first serial they appeared in. But I think thats incomplete due to the BBC's redundant policy to wipe episodes. The one i mean was when the 1st Doctor Regenerated. It's highly sought after.

EDIT: I am correct. The aforementioned episode is incomplete. 'The Moonbase is the next Cybermen Story.

If you know Half-Life well guys, could you tell me if The Orange box is worth it?

If only for Portal.

Episode 2 kicks ass too.

tardis2008 January 14, 2008 10:26 AM

Not on the PS3. The loading and slowdown is shocking. Portal is the only one that works not to badly.

Jamie Minty January 14, 2008 1:16 PM

Darn Ps3 is the one I wanted, well if its the only one i can get for PS3 then i suppose i will get ti. First COD4!

Chris Britton January 14, 2008 1:52 PM

Screw the PS3, as much as I hate Microsoft, the Xbox360 is still the best console on the market.

Josef Kenny January 14, 2008 1:57 PM

Sadly, it is.

Superkid11 January 14, 2008 6:01 PM

How dare you defy the Wii. :mad:

Cant argue with that £400 for 3 good games(one of them being a xbox360 port):( . The Wii rules all thought i love it. And as for the PS3 version of The Orange Box if like me your desperate to play it then it is playable but the slowdown and long loading will irritate you. I stll hope 2008 will see the PS3 get some good games for a change.

I have a Wii. I got it on 8th December 2006 (launch day). I now haven't played it since this time last year.
