I watched the Doctor Who premiere as well, and like you, I'm lukewarm about Capaldi. I've never heard of him, and I though the fixation on him being "too old" and "wrinkly" was kind of mean. It's almost like the show writers were apologizing for their choice of actor. Apparently, transformation episodes of new Doctors are like ritualistic, and the new one kind of moves around in the clothes of the previous Doctor before fully changing, and that's what I saw, but I don't get what Capaldi is about? Is he going to be cranky and tired the rest of the season or is he going to add a bit of oddness like Matt Smith? I don't know? I'll give it a few more chances.
The Victorian robots were kind of cool though.
I like Stephen King, but I haven't watched the TV Show. I think King said in an interview that he wish he could get involved with the scripts more to make it more like the source material, the way The Walking Dead comic creator develops the show as well? Who knows? Maybe he is right?
My Weekend in games and books

So yeah, I said I was going to try to beat Rainbow Moon this weekend and I did (try that is). The final boss is not easy to beat. I hung in for a few rounds but in one round he managed to get all the bad status effects to stick even though I was strong against them and he got 15 turns and took out everybody.
I said fuck this and played a bit of Dragon's Crown. I like it so far and it didn't cost me a cent to check it out which makes life doubly sweet.
On the PSN Flash sale I picked up RE: Revelations. I've had it for 3DS from day one but now I get to check it out on the big screen with a full controller.
As I've already mentioned I picked up the Humble book bundle. I read a little of American Gods and I think I'm going to like it.
In the paper book category I'm up to page 700 of Under the Dome. The book is much better than the TV series and pretty much a completely different story. There's lies, cheating, murdering and Meth production. Sounds like Breaking Bad right?
It is so much darker than the TV show. At this rate I should be finished soon. Only 372 pages to go.
Oh and I got to watch the New Doctor last night. I'm guardedly optimistic about what Capaldi can bring to the show.
How'd your weekend go Pixlbits?
