Fannish Items of Interest

I don’t believe the bookies that think the Eleventh Doctor’s regeneration would come soon. And if it did? My ideal Twelfth Doctor would be Peter Wingfield.

Another rumor making the rounds, highly likely to be false, is that Johnny Depp is going to be in an American version of Doctor Who as the Doctor. Besides, I think the actor has enough things on his plate, and wouldn’t have the time to do a tv show, too. Just check out his IMDB page—14 things in development, one filming, three in post-production, and one in production.

Since Jeph Loeb will oversee Marvel-related television shows, Io9 has posted a recap of what Marvel has made so far, in the live action department. Follow the links and remember (or discover) just how bad the Generation X tv movie was. I’m amused to say that I have this on DVD—I actually tracked it down through Ebay a few years back. I believe a New Mutants series would be interesting, and the whole Limbo storyline could be an ongoing arc. I don’t think it would ever happen, but it’s still an interesting idea.

blognewsarama has a clip from the live action Power Pack pilot that was never picked up.

The 10 Best Beat-‘Em-Ups (Arcade Games) of All Time. The X-Men arcade game (the one based on Pryde of the X-Men) is listed, as is the one for The Simpsons. I remember playing the latter when I stumbled across a Chuck E. Cheese in Memphis one year. 1991 is when it was released, so it was probably then.

And lastly, three RPG related memes that have been going around my friends list.

You give me any character or characters that I have played (past or present) and I will give you 1-3 links or images of alternate Played-Bys for the character. I might even explain the choice(s).

Give me two or more characters, and I will tell you what happens when they are trapped in a mountain cabin together.

Name one of my characters and one or more others, and I will tell you what happens when they are stranded on a desert island together. How did they get there? What is the island like? Do they get off? Etc.

With the last two, as I only play one character—Meggan—it’s her, plus whatever other character you choose to be trapped with her in those situations.

ETA: According to comments on my friends list, comment notifications seem to be down at the moment. So please be patient if I haven't replied to something, as I probably don't know about it yet.
