They're Back! After an unscheduled most-of-Summer break, Amaechi, Barry and Ant return to discuss the latest gaming news. This month: the boys talk about Amaechi's weariness with hackers, the switch in payment model for MMORPGs and discuss the forthcoming Halo web-series amongst other stories.

As a feature, they discuss Co-Op gaming: its rise, fall and rise again while talking about some of their favourite co-op game memories. Finally, a brief look at the game releases for September is presented.

In which things probably get more out of hand.

Our 50th episode continues with the addition of the wonderful Devin R. Bruce as everyone talks about their favourite episodes of Doctor Who. As always, the conversation rarely stays on track because... drunk. Smile as we all yell at James. Laugh as we make terrible jokes. Forgive the few odd cuts because having seven drunk people on a podcast at one time is REALLY HARD. And stay tuned as we start on our next 50. Thank you, everyone.

Outro music is "Scarecrow" by Beck

Hey, we're back! Better late then never with the 23rd episode of the Oncoming Storm! Sorry for the delay, but unforseen technical issues made it impossible to get the episode up on time. But we're back, and The Oncoming Servers are up and better then ever! And in this belated episode, your hosts Josh and Ashley are looking at a special treat, as Big Finish goes all New Adventure and brings us an audio featuring The Doctor, Ace and Benny! Yes, it's The Shadow of the Scourge by Paul Cornell. Everything is all master plans and betrayals in this adventure set between An All-Consuming Fire and Blood Harvest. This means, while we have just met Benny in our NA episodes, this story is well into the heart of the New Adventures. But don't worry, your hosts are here to guide you through it all and keep you up to speed. Sit back and enjoy, and let them do all the work! The Oncoming Storm... this time, we've all got third arms! It's a giant insect thing, you wouldn't understand.

A double scotch. Kittens. Sarah Jane Smith in a swimsuit. These are things we all love, and at least one of them is in "Death to Daleks", featuring the Third Doctor (whose body double is apparently Ludwig von Beethoven), Sarah Jane, and the most impotent Daleks ever.

We also take some time to talk about recovery after Galifrey One, the upcoming Whofest 2 in Dallas, and manage to plug our email address, which actually exists.

We're great fun on Facebook, so look for us there. Also, and we know nobody reads these shownotes, but you can email us at tardistavern@gmail.com and follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern.

Doctor In Distress: We've been rescued from hiatus by sausage-fingered fans and charity singles! Join us in discussing the ever-entertaining Ian Levine and whether or not it's worth reconstructing every lost second of Shada and Planet of Giants. Download The Carnival of Bastards #4 or listen to the podcast online.

The Two Who Rule and Chip are back, with a somewhat sparse but interesting news list featuring a fascinating Steven Moffat interview in the latest Doctor Who Magazine, a Capaldi plushie (henceforth referred to as CuddlePaldi), news of the BBC spinning off a studio division, a truly excrable survey of Doctor Who viewers circa 1988, and (not much) more! But the meat of the matter is a commentary featuring not only the regular RFS crew but also the inestimable Graeme Burk, author and Reality Bomb impressario. Band of brothers, fighting together!

Well here's a surprise.  Phil, Paul and Tony have managed to get together to bring you an audio commentary for the 2nd Doctor story the Tomb Of The Cybermen.  And they said they couldn't manage it this month!  The delights contained within the commentary are Phil and Tony both managing to squeeze in impressions of Tina Turner, Paul and Tony accuse Phil of being aggressive (to which Phil completely misses the point) and Tony brings his usual non-conformist facts which this time features how Patrick Troughton chose his name.

And in the news, Series 7 finally gets its airdate confirmed, the Pond Life mini episodes, a bit of DVD news and in Omega's Tat Corner, Rory Williams finally gets his action figure.

So this is it.  The actual post-Gally wrap up.  We finally talk about this year's Gally in more than just generalities.  Daisy's voice is mostly back and can hold out for more (a lot more) than just 20 minutes.  Hence the rabbit chasing off to all sorts of other, geeky, topics.  Wheeeeeeee!!!

EXTERMINATE THE BACTERIA. EXTERMINATE!

This week Kiyan and Dylan discover what it means to have The Mind of Evil. The serial was written by Don Houghton and it was aired January through March of 1971. Episode 1 was recoloured entirely by one man, Stuart Humphreys, frame by frame.

We're officially into the home stretch toward the return of Doctor Who. After leaving the launch date until late in the game, as the BBC likes to do, it was formalized this past week that Asylum of the Daleks will grace our screens on September 1 (unless you live in Australia). Jubilation and excitement abound, despite the short run of Series 7A, and The Three Who Rule look forward to sinking their teeth into Moffat's first proper Dalek story... next week. In the mean time, we still have the rest of our Invasion of Time commentary to deliver, as well as the rest of the past week's news, which for a change is sorta Arthur Darvill-centric. Sit tight as we deliver a Rory-ing good time!
