Make a Cardboard TARDIS!

Ok, guys! Here are some cool links to how to make a mini model TARDIS. I don't do much with balsa wood and wanted this project to be cheap so I looked up how to make it out of cardboard. The result was this website.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-TARDIS-model/?ALLSTEPS
It shows how to make it and the pdf of the plans are here:
http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FDL/94HP/FRLJR5NR/FDL94HPFRLJR5NR.pdf
This is so much fun and I did not have to buy anything for this project. I did not add noise or lights to mine, but I painted it a darker blue and sanded it to scratch up the paint to make it look weathered, and it turned out great! Here it is:

The Picture is a little blurry, but you can see the sanded areas, and the doors don't open, but it still is a great model.
All righty. I will list the materials so you can get them before you go to the site.
*A nice navy blue paint
*A sharpie (2 of them) or other permanent marker (black and silver)
*A clear straw
*Clear plastic (like the outside of a toy packaging, as this will be for the windows)
*Sand paper
*Printouts of the "Police Public Call Box" sign and the "Pull to Open" sign.
*Scissors
*An Xacto blade and handle
*Glue (this can be Elmer's glue or super glue. I prefer to use super glue)
*Lots and lots of cereal box cardboard (I used a couple DiGiorno pizza boxes)

Have fun! But be very careful handling super glue and Xacto blades as the blades are very sharp and cut very easily and the super glue bonds to skin and eyes instantly! Haha. Really just be careful and read the labels. :)

"Aw, shi-"

Jokes Only Whovians Get...

Alrighty. Here's some jokes to lighten your day...

In case you aren't acquainted with "The Cake is a Lie" it is a reference to the Portal games series. Super funny!

Weeping Angels: A Force to Reckon With

So, I have been trying to sum up all of Doctor Who's scariest monsters, from Daleks to Zygons, and pick the scariest one. So far, I've determined that Daleks and Cybermen just don't have that scary element that would make a person scream. There is only one monster that I can think of that would make me crap my pants upon seeing one, and that's the Weeping Angels. They are deadly fast, are extremely adorable at first, and move in the dark and when no one is looking. It is hilarious that they don't kill people by stabbing, tearing, smashing, or even choking. They send people back in time, so that they are old and near death (or already dead). It's freaky! Well, I'm sure Whovian gamers are pretty mad that BBC has not come up with a good, challenging Doctor Who game yet, but I found a game called "Weeping Angels" on the PC, made by a guy named Vixolent. It is in the same style as the "Slender" series, where you have to avoid Slenderman in the woods as you collect pieces of paper. The only difference is that there is no Slenderman. Only a few innocent Weeping Angel statues....... Yeah. Talk about crapping pants. It was such a good game, visit Vixolent's YouTube video for a free download of the game here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vH-YK2yXAQ
Have fun guys! Don't blink! (Oh, yeah, and by the way, your character blinks on occasion, so it gives the game an even scarier element!)

Who's the scariest Doctor Who Character?

So, I want to know who you think the scariest Doctor Who character (or monster) is! Post!

Tom Baker's Scarf: Witty Little Knitter

Alright, folks! I have found the most wonderful spot to look for help in making any version of the 4th Doctor's colorful scarf! It is a very very very informative website made by a lady named Tara Carstensen, a wonderful knitter and crafter. She shows how to make a scarf from every season of Tom Baker's years, and even show how to make the Shada scarf and the scarf from season 18 (it is the only red and purple version). Super cool, and you will find patterns for everything on her site here at wittylittleknitter.com 

This is her with one of her many creations:

Just love it!

Weeping Angels Video Game!!!

Alright Whovian gamers, you are in for a big scare! On my other blog http://gladoslaboratories.blogspot.com/ I have a link and description of the scariest Doctor Who fanmade game ever! Check it out!

Favorite Doctor Who Quotes

So, lately I have been searching through my episodes for inspiring quotes from the Doctor and came up with these:

"There's no point in growing up if you can't act a little childish sometimes."
-4th

"Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person."

-10th (Lazarus Experiment)

“For some people, small, beautiful events are what life is all about."

-5th (Earthshock)

“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
-11th (Vincent and the Doctor)

"Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, TARDIS...bingle bongle dingle dangle, yikkitydo yikkityda, ping pong, lippytappytoota, and twenty three."
-10th (Midnight)

What's your favorite quote? Post it here.

I just love this picture, imagining everyone together is so fun...

Who's Your Favorite Doctor?

So, I want to know, who is your favorite Doctor? It can be any one of them, even from the old series.

[I don't have a favorite, but I can tell you that I would lean more towards either the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) or the 10th (David Tennant)]

Doctor Who David Tennant Minecraft skin!

Here is a cool David Tennant skin for Minecraft!

I know, I know, it's really blurry, but its awesome!

All Tennant

David Tennant is probably my favorite out of the new series Doctors, isn't he just gorgeous?

And, here he is in front of the TARDIS.











Here he is in drag. And all you can manage to say is "Ummmmm....?"

This was an incredibly funny skit, although seeing Tennant in a skirt and blonde wig was a little strange.

A beautiful, incredibly realistic, drawing of David Tennant as the Doctor. Love it!!

Favorite English Actors...

One of my favorite English actors would definitely be Benedict Cumberbatch. I think I first saw him in his TV show, Sherlock (which, by the way, is an excellent TV show), and I loved how eccentric he acted. He acts with Martin Freeman in a couple things, including (The Hobbit). Don't you just love it when you spot favorite actors in movies when you didn't know they were going to be in it? For example, I recently saw The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, and realized that Sylvester McCoy (my FAVORITE Doctor) was in it. He is Ratagast, the wizard who loves animals. He is just a funny actor, and I had no idea he was in it until his scene came up and I heard his voice. Another favorite English actor of mine has to be Patrick Stewart, the captain of the starship Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Bald guys rule! So, what is your favorite English actor?

Here is Sylvester in Doctor Who and Hobbit.

Goodbye Matt Smith! We'll Miss You!

Goodbye, Matt Smith! We'll miss you on Doctor Who!

Every time I read about how Peter Capaldi is filming with Jenna Coleman, I just sniff and watch another Matt Smith episode. I remember when David Tennant regenerated into Smith and I just hated seeing Tennant go, at first I despised Matt Smith, but within a few minutes of seeing his funny humor (spitting out baked beans and apples next to the young Amelia Pond) I decided to like his character in the show. He played Doctor's part well, and I know we will all miss him as much as Tennant. Well, Peter Capaldi is a nice change from all of the younger Doctors. It seemed as though Doctor was somehow getting younger and younger, and Capaldi is kind of breading that theory. Plus, I am glad someone who has already had experience with the show is taking over Doctor's role (Capaldi was in "The Fires of Pompeii).

This is an interview with Peter Capaldi on BBC One, I loved it, as it showed just how humble Capaldi really is.

Doctor Who Adventure Games for free in US!

Hello, everyone! Today I am posting about how you can get the Doctor Who Adventure Games for free outside the UK for free from the BBC website! All you need is a program called Expat Shield. I have a Windows 8 and had problems installing it at first, but for Win8 users, I'll show you how to install it later in the post. For now, go to http://www.expatshield.com/ to get a copy of it. It is a free program and is safe to use. I have been using it for quite a while, now. When your download has finished, run Expat Shield. Your browser should open when you run the program. In the tab that opens, Expat will be running. Keep this tab open through this whole process! Once you have downloaded the Adventure Games you want, minimize your internet tab, and install the games. Remember to keep Expat running while the Games are installing. Another nifty thing I learned while using Expat was that you can also view things on the BBC iPlayer! Normally, no one outside the UK can view them. That means free episodes too!

So, how does Expat Shield work for downloading and watching things on BBC that you normally wouldn't be able to outside the UK? Well, I can't really answer this question properly, but what I can say is that it has something to do with temporarily changing your pc's proxy to a UK server. This tricks any UK video or download into thinking that your pc is located within the UK.

Alright Windows 8 users! To solve our issue with the compatibility problem. Normally, when trying to launch the Expat Shield installer, it will only bring up a prompt that says something like this:

Sorry about the fuzzy picture, but it says "The program has compatibility issues. You can get help on the Microsoft website.... Blah blah blah. Well, to fix this issue, you will have to restart your computer in network safe-mode. To do this, follow my steps.

Hold the "start" button and the "r" key at the same time and you should open the "Run" prompt. In the bar, type in the word msconfig and it should take you to this:

Click on the "Boot" Tab. I have it circled in red. Next check the box that says "Safe Boot", and check the dot that says "Network". I have both of these in red:

Click the "apply" and the "ok" button to save the changes. Your computer should bring up a prompt asking to restart your pc. Click yes and restart the pc. The computer should start up in "Safe-Mode". You will notice that your background picture is now a black background. Don't worry about this as it will go back to your previous settings when you restore the safe-mode settings. Now, you can easily install Expat Shield with no problems or compatibility issues. Once you are finished installing Expat Shield, do what I have told you thus far in reverse. That is, type the start+r combination again and type in msconfig in the bar. This time, you will un-check the safe boot box and the network bubble and restart your pc. Your pc will automatically revert to your old settings, this time, with Expat Shield installed. Happy gaming (or watching)! I hope this works for you as it did me!

Star Trek and other PC Games!

So, I have just bought Star Trek 2013 from Hastings and have been playing it for the past day. The plot isn't the best but the graphics are amazing! If you are a big Star Trek fan, you may be a bit disappointed in some respects, but overall, it is great! I love the facial expressions and behaviors of each of the characters! Have any of you played this game, and how did you like it?

Here's a quick shot I had in game-play.












Another huge favorite of mine has to be Portal and Portal 2. These two are the least violent, most interactive, and hardest games I have ever played. Not to mention the complexity of each character and where they came from. Super fun and I would recommend Portal to any thinker game lover.

Here's a shot from the first one. The little white, egg shaped robot is called a turret. They are so adorable! Well, and dangerous, of course. Haha!








Here is Atlas and P-Body, the lovable pair from Portal 2.

Ah, Matt Smith as the Doctor in "The City of the Daleks". This takes place in 1963 when the Daleks take over the Earth. You travel to Skaro to stop the Daleks from Destroying the Earth!

Now, has anyone played the Doctor Who Adventure Games? They are incredibly short and very fun! In the US, you have to pay for them but in the UK, they're free. Use a program called Expat Shield (watch a video on YouTube about it, it works!) to get all of them for free and be able to watch the BBC iPlayer.

Alright. I want to know your favorite game. What's your most favorite one?
