I had been under the impression that the New 52 was a reboot of all of DC's various comic lines but that's obviously not the case, at least not for Batman. This Batgirl run happens after her time as Oracle. Some radical new neurological surgery has given Barbara Gordon use of her legs again. There were several flashbacks to The Killing Joke (when Joker shot her and she became paralyzed; I've actually read that one, thank goodness) and she even freezes up a couple times like she has PTSD. She's an interesting character.

I don't know how they keep coming up with these crazy plots. I love 'em.

Clara has been great. I'll be sad to see her go at Christmas. As for a female doctor, have you forgotten about Donna Noble? 

I wish the Fatal Frame games were cheaper. It would irk me to have them digitally but not physically. For a steep enough discount, though, I could live with it. This is not that discount lol. My wife has wanted Tales of Graces f and Tales of Xilia for a long time, so we'll probably spring for those.

Wow, very nice. Congrats!

I tried Hearthstone and really liked it, but it was just too difficult for me to play it every day, like you really need to, so I moved on to other things. Cool game though.

I've been meaning to try Terra Battle myself. Looks fun!

I've been playing a lot of Paint It Back lately. It's a picross game and the first one I've ever tried. Makes me want to hunt the ones Nintendo made for Game Boy and DS.

I think a lot of the backlash at Capaldi is simply because he's older. Yeah, he's been a butt munch to Clara in some of the episodes but I've seen some people really nitpick at little things to complain about him. And last night's episode was a definite improvement in the Doctor-Clara relationship. I've enjoyed this season so far.

That's good to know! I don't think I'll be available tonight (new baby and all) but hopefully next week. Hopefully you won't get too far ahead or the scaled baddies will really give me trouble lol. But by all means go ahead 

Thanks, Matt!

Thanks! My two-year-old son (26 months, to be specific) isn't handling any controllers yet but he does play iPad games meant for 3-5 year olds, so I think he'll catch on pretty quick. This new one will probably be the same 

My metric for evaluating the New 52 is my own enjoyment, and so far I've liked what I've read. I can't speak to the entire New 52 (I've heard they've canceled more lines than they have going at this point) or comics at large, for that matter, but I've enjoyed Batman.

Not sure what I'm going to do about Octoberween gaming yet because I haven't had a lot of time to really sit down and concentrate on one thing for long (and these types of games require that). Plus I was hoping Backloggers would do something for Halloween but doesn't look like it. I have plenty to choose from, though, so I'll try to pick something!

It seems to me that it's taken the Doctor longer than usual to acclimate after this last regen and Clara has carried it a little because of that. But I've enjoyed the episodes and thought last night's was really good. It was very Doctor-focused. Clara just looked really good
