Hey Cypher & Hyp,
I’ve begun work on that thing that I’m working on. You know, for your 1 year anniversary of the show and all. I would like to get some assistance from the listening audience, even if this might tip off what I’m working on. I’m looking for everyone’s favorite Addicted moment(s) over the past year. Just hit me up on twitter (everyone knows my twitter by now right?) @nevikjames.
After listening to last week’s episode with Cypher’s butchering of Jean Reno’s name, I was reminded me of a hilarious albeit campy movie he was in named Wasabi. While a lot of the jokes and gags are fairly pedestrian, there’s a scene involving wasabi that makes the movie worth watching. Unfortunately it isn’t available via instant stream, but it’s worth putting into you DVD rental queue.
Anyways, back to work for me … ciao!

Changes in the Vote to Kick system
We have found that most players using the Dungeon Finder don’t use the Vote Kick feature or abandon groups very often. For these players, we are removing the cooldown on voting to kick players from a dungeon party. In contrast, those players who tend to kick players or abandon groups more frequently will notice that the Vote Kick feature maintains its cooldown. The goal here is to make sure players who are generally patient can make use of the Vote Kick feature when they really need it, without giving a more powerful tool to those who try to kick others or abandon dungeon groups very frequently.
This functionality will adjust itself as a player’s behavior while using the Dungeon Finder changes.

Sherlock Holmes: Not too bad.
Director:Guy Richie
Staring : Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law
Trivia:
The set for Sherlock Holmes’s home in this film was previously used as Sirius Black’s home in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(2007)
Watson’s line to Holmes, “You know that what you’re drinking is for eye surgery,” is an obscure reference to Holmes’s cocaine usage. At the time, cocaine was used as a topical anesthetic for eye surgery. In the stories, Holmes injects cocaine.
Critics: Meta Critic score 57
38 New York Post Kyle Smith
Sherlock Holmes dumbs down a century-old synonym for intelligence with S&M gags, witless sarcasm, murky bombast and twirling action-hero moves that belong in a ninja flick.
38 Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
It’s a serious drag to see how Ritchie has turned Holmes and Dr. Watson into a couple of garden-variety thugs.

Entertaining in a glossy, mindless way.

SG-U: first part of the finale. Warcraft reference from Eli, ‘I once climbed the Redridge mountains on the way to Stonard’
Burn Notice: returns from mid-season break. Disappointing that Micheal returns to petty matters 10 minutes into the episode. Still ok though.
