Yeh Silvio, I know the feeling…

Personally i thing Blizzard have invented some sort of hypnotic packaging that makes it impossible for an exWoW player to walk into a gaming retail outlet and not walk out with a copy of Wrath of the Lich King…

Yes… I’m back on WoW…

Damn you Blizzard…

After David Tennant made his announcement in October that he was leaving Doctor Who, there’s obviously been an awful lot of speculation over who will be the 11th Who… However, actor Phillip Rhys while being interviewed on E24 about the new series Survivors, mentions the other people starring in the drama, and makes this very interesting slip of the tongue…

Paterson Joseph the new Doctor Who?

Is it me, or is that the look of a man thinking, “oops, i really should have said that!” Maybe its nothing. Maybe its something. I suspect we won’t find out for sure until the new year.

For those that don’t know the man in question, here’s a photo, and a link to his wiki and imdb pages. Personally i think he’d be a really good choice. He’s a great charismatic actor, and he’s no stranger to scifi. He’s also well know and respected at the Beeb, but not a massive film name like some of the names that have been linked with the role. Would seem like a really good fit.

So, what do you think? Paterson Joseph for the 11th Doctor Who?

Get it while you can, as i suspect the paramount lawyers will have it pulled soon.

UPDATED: They actually went the opposite way, and released the high quality trailer instead. Clicky here!

With Wraith of the Lich King launched today, i though it only appropriate to something WoW related (we’re still on WAR so we probably won’t be covering any Lich King directly). I did come across this over at wowinsider though. Couple of people have built WoW’s Booty Bay out of Lego. Awesome work!
