Football
Messi to the rescue for Barca. Even while struggling with fitness, his class told in the end. Credit must go to PSG as well, they pushed Barca all the way and were superb for long periods - particularly Pastore and Lavezzi. Not exactly a newsflash, but Bayern are really quite good. When Schweinsteiger took command after the half-hour mark, they looked as if they could have kicked on and scored more at any point, with Juve simply unable to track how fluently they moved the ball.

Batman: Arkham
This is starting to look fairly promising, though of course, only time will tell if it can live up to the standard set by its predecessors. The rumoured 'silver age' direction was my biggest reservation, so it's quite the relief to see imagery and screenshots that still retain the 'Arkham' feel. Paul Dini not being involved could still be a pretty big drawback, but I'm feeling a bit better about Rocksteady's absence - they've already laid such fantastic foundations that any new developer would have to be stark raving mad to try and turn the game upside down now. Black Mask looks pretty darn impressive too...

New Queens of the Stone Age. 2013 is definitely the year of the comebacks.

I haven't even made it to Monument Island yet, but I'm already loving it. The first glimpse of Columbia's streets was absolutely awe-inspiring.

People not posting pics (only links) in model threads
We do strongly encourage posting pics rather than links, although we don't have any hard and fast rules about it at the moment. It's possible that could change, but a lot will depend on how it goes in the future. Quite honestly, I think we'll probably see more textlinking of Twitter photos, as it appears to be more difficult to just right click and save them these days. While not ideal, I think it's more desirable than hotlinking.

Best Coast + Blondie ÷ 'Christmas Wrapping' style vocals = brilliant. Who knew?

I've had my personal assistant* clear my schedule and hope to dive into it tonight. Can't wait.

Doctor Who
It was a nice enough adventure that did a good job of showcasing the chemistry between the two leads, but it did seem to end on a bit of a 'hmmm...' kind of moment. I was expecting a lot more exploration of who Clara is. Still, I'm sure there's more to come. Let's see how it goes tonight.
