bootleggers.us seems to be a legitimate game, oddly mostly played by Dutch people.
I used to play it back in high school, and surprisingly it still exists. From what I remember, it wasn't especially great. Just an other text-based online multiplayer RPG.

Blimey. That is all I can say without spoiling it for others. Just wow. The story changed today.

Everything changed!
And the end was magnificent!
WOW!

There were so many great bits. The curator was a real highlight for me. And the promise of the Christmas Special is something to look forward to.

I love Dr. Who as well (from Episode 1 until now) but this episode was still poor. It was just a contrived mess. And Tom Baker? WTF? How does that work then???

They just wanted to get him in there somehow, so they went the typical fanbois "it's MYSTERIOUS!" route.

Yeah I saw Google has a "whatever they call their daily deal" deciation to the 50th anniversary of Dr. Who.

That was not what I expected; not good at all. A wasted opportunity.

I haven't watched Dr. Who for years, so I was really not up to speed with the general storyline or characters, but I thought it a great production. Apart from the computer simulated battle scenes which were a bit OTT.

I agree, blimey!
I like that they changed history (normally a very bad idea) but in a way one could accept as reasonable, feasible, and absolutely the right thing to do.
Tom Baker as the curator was nice although it made no sense that he was older than he ever was before his regeneration.
The detailed "computer displays" of the battle were a little silly with power shots flying back and forth like some kind of video game but otherwise the show was excellent.
I think everybody would be happy with it (unless your name ends with "Merrens").
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

LOL: to be happy it had be good. Given the source material this was not a great effort. Davies was a far better story teller than Moffat is and it would have been darker and s little less of a CBBC type effort.

Not sure how it all fits in with the time lords' previous return, but a few things have obviously been scratched off the To Do list (the marriage with Queen Bess, for example).

I always thought that killing off the rest of the Time Lords was completely stupid, I'm glad they made a return possible.
And who taught Billie Piper to act at last?

To be fair to the TV Series, the Time War was something that was covered in books, magazines and audio plays prior to the TV Series returning.

LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAA!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
You have no idea how hard it has been going on the Internet the last couple of days trying to avoid any and all discussions about Day of the Doctor. I don't have cable, so I couldn't watch it on Saturday. But, I have my ticket to see it tonight in the theater.
Did they do that in the UK, too? Select theaters here are showing it in 3D. Saturday shows were sold out, but I managed to get in for tonight.
So...no spoilers, please! 
Thank you.
