• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Mary Beard will be so disappointed.

    Patriotism

    I think TES has said most of the things that need saying, but I want to elaborate on a few points. This is all from a very Western perspective, of course, because I'm hardly qualified to discuss it from other perspectives. Patriotism is one of those words which has become tainted by political...

    Doctor Who Club

    Er, yeah. I really don't see why people think this is a problem. So he's played other people in the Whoniverse. Who cares? They weren't the same person. Why isn't "oh they just happen to look kind of similar" enough of a handwave?

    Doctor Who Club

    I love Peter Capaldi this is the best day ever. Watch Children of Earth. He single handedly makes it the best part of Torchwood (if not the Whoniverse in general.)

    University Challenge

    Furthermore, it's available here if you're not in the UK. :D

    University Challenge

    In hindsight there are lots of things I should have got. :P I'm still kicking myself for not risking the phenolphtalein question.

    Nintendo Stock Rises

    In my mind the console wars have just become Microsoft versus Sony. Nintendo is entirely separate. I buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games, with the occasional good third party game as well; it's completely different to Microsoft's or Sony's business model. But I am always vaguely smug...

    What are you reading? II

    Use of Weapons, Iain M. Banks. Unfortunately I'm aware it has a twist ending so I've been preoccupied trying to guess what it is.

    University Challenge

    (For those of you who aren't British and therefore aren't aware of this Important Cultural Institution.) A couple of months ago I got the opportunity to represent my college on University Challenge. :D I was going to make a thread then, but it's more exciting now because I actually know when it...

    Video Games that Should be Remade

    Pokemon Snap deserves a big, proper, extended (the original was way too short) sequel on the Wii U. A remake alone would be disappointing, I think.

    That's supposed to cure THAT?

    I can't remember and, being an Australian, you ought to know: is the "cut an X over a snake bite" thing something you're actually supposed to do?

    Would you like to be famous or...?

    Hey, Andrew Wiles is plenty famous. Also there's Ben Green, for some very specific definition of famous.

    What are you reading? II

    I just finished To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't know why I didn't read it much sooner. It was one of the most beautiful novels I've read in years.

    What sports team(s) do you support?

    Surely the number one reason is that you live in/near the city they play in?

    FF.net or AO3?

    The average quality on AO3 is so incredibly higher that I can pretty much forgive anything else.

    Pointless

    Personally I enjoyed the one where only 90 or so people could identify a picture of the Earth from space.

    Pointless

    Decent concept, but as I recall it moves too slowly for my liking.

    Pointless

    My criterion for a good quiz show is how many questions they get in per episode. Basically anything that involves a cash prize fails in that regard. University Challenge is non-stop rapid-fire questions for half an hour; Only Connect is slower paced, but the questions take longer to figure out...
