@TheAddictedCast Really low cloud = fog!
About LFR:
@TheAddictedCast Do LFR. It is easy. So long as the mobs get killed there are too many other folks in there to care what you are doing
A Recomendation:
@hypknotoad @cypher_x recommend Kingdom of Amalur:reckoning. Demo on xbl. Todd McFarlane; r.a. Salvatore; and creator of oblivion made it
it's great. Like skyrim meets torchlight. Definitely picking it up in a few weeks when it releases.
@popspotting I highly recommend the show Misfits on bbc, great different show w frackintastic music! Thank u@TheAddictedCast recommendation
Brandon L Starr @BrandonLStarr
@TheAddictedCast I am devouring@BreakingBad_AMC now that I have@netflix on my iPhone. Starting ep 20. Nice to see Q get some work.
Sure, Take a crack at my age.
@TheAddictedCast re:ep 119. Cypher a Black Keys fan? Color me surprised/impressed. I pictured you as more of a Dylan, or Beatles fan.
@Lexx_Sylveste he's not THAT old!
@tempeste @TheAddictedCast lol! I really didn't mean to imply anything about his age. Just his music stylings! I like those bands too.

hyp's "bioware" improv during the intro to show 120 made me smile–i'll
admit–but i'm thinking i won't be adapting old _endgamelootz_ for the
star wars now. mostly me being lazy i suppose but i'm also kinda happy
with the way that one turned out so why fuck with it, right?
anyhoo, i
do weirdly have something in the deep back catalog that might
float-the-boat for ya on the star wars front. find attached a copy of
the song _port royal_ by the now defunct ensemble i played with back
in the late 90's called monuments of leisure. _port royal_
is-admittedly-moderately SOPA unfriendly so i hope that doesn't scare
ya off. also, via the link below, you can read way more than any human
being would care to know about the monuments of leisure as well as
listen to our entire 1999 spacerock opera _against all flags_. its a
weird little corner of these here internets. enjoy.
keep rocking the podcasts.
onward. daleary

Ash was looking for some help with a few quests she picked up in Uldum. Log in and fly to the place only to find the quests were in a 5 man.
I’ve decided to give LFR a go due to BOE and Manbone.
Got a sweet one handed Axe from dragon soul. Got it gemmed up and re-forged. Did a bit of farming to try and build up enough gold to finish optimising.

Saturday Night. Back into Dragon Soul and this time we rolled through the trash and the 1st 2 bosses with out slowing down. The 3rd boss (Ping Pong) gave us some trouble but we managed to take him down after a bit of rearranging for the healing assignments. Moved onto the 4th boss and took a few attempts to learn the dance. Think we would have managed to get them down if we had another attempt but our final go was foiled by the Vent boss.
Saturday Night: Week 2. Cruised through the trash and first 2 bosses, then we hit a wall on Ping-Pong. Spent the next two hours wiping on him but managed to down him before the end of the run.
Our Weeks in TOR:
Cypher:
Hit Lvl 30- finally able to finish the ending quests on Tatooene. Looking forward to getting off that rock. I’ve seen enough sand. Thanks to Hyp for helping my with my final storyline mission on Tatooene.
Bought my power converter and the newer space missions are do-able now.
Working on the quests in Allderan
Ran my lowbie secret Jedi toon. He’s fun to play, a bit more in the middle of the action.
Hyp:
Having trouble telling which way is forward with some droids.
I’m gonna climb a tree I’ll be back later.

Cowboys an Aliens (2011)
Directed by Jon Favreau
Staring Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde
Set 1n the Wild West in 1873, Daniel Craig awakes with no memory and a strange metal armband. He sets off to the nearest town to piece together who he is and finds a checkered past and an Alien invasion. With the help of the towns bad guy and a mysterious woman they fight to save the world. The movie was a solid action film if a bit predictable. Good special effects and visual style.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
Directed by Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist)
Staring James Franco (Spiderman, 127) John Lithgow and Tom Felton.
A company trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's tests it on chimps.
TV Shows:
Cypher:
Breaking Bad S4E1 The box cutter: Great start to the season. Jesse gets picked up after shooting Gail and brought back to the lab to wait with Walter for Gus to show up. Another fantastic tension build up as Gus arrives and Walter pleas for their lives. Love the flash back at the start showing Gail setting up the lab and convincing Gus to hire the man who made the blue meth.
S4E2+E3- Building episodes, Jesse is spiraling downward and Walter is trying to figure out a long term plan. Walter gets a gun. Mike beats him up when Walter suggests a plan to kill Gus. Security cameras are installed.
Sherlock: The Hounds of Baskerville. Another great episode.
Merlin: Season 4 is back on Sifi. Light fare but I enjoy it.
Californication: Ep 2 Good stuff.
Face Off: Another Sifi show- Interesting show about special effect make up. I could do with out the “reality” show aspect.
Fringe: Turning out to be a pretty good season. Peter is bridging the gap between the two sides and getting them to work together against a common threat, who he’s had dealings with but they have not, and ultimately return him to his own timeline.
Archer: Still doing their thing.

Saturday Night. Took the first two bosses with out too much trouble. Opened up my Talent Pane to make sure there hadn’t been a patch which reset my points. Im a bit out of practice. Third boss gave us a bit of trouble. Think we had the dance down but got wiped for one reason or another.

Our Weeks in TOR:cypher: Cyph- (Just a skosh under 20)
- Loving the space battles. I was a bit skepticle when I heard they were on rails, but I think it works just fine. You do have some control over the ship and although it can be a bit frustraiting when you want to make another pass and the ship is heading in the wrong direction its enough control to still give the illusion of flying. Good experience points for the first run.
- Find that I tend to be finishing my main story quests before I'm the right level to move to the next area. Either I’m not doing enough side quests or they aren’t spaced right. Finished Taris but still had a ton of the map that was undiscovered. The next planet was 3 levels ahead of where I was. Had to land on Taris again and do a bit more questing.
- Want to get one of the speeder bikes they used as a taxi on taris.
- Whats with taking off and landing everytime I enter my ship? I just want to talk to someone in the cargo hold of my ship... I gotta enter orbit to do it?
- Rolled a Jedi Knight. Haven’t started playing him yet.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)
The 2nd Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Downey Jr as Holmes, Jude Law as Watson and directed by Guy Richie. This time they are also joined by Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) who do an excellent job playing a gypsy who was unwittingly caught up in Moriaty’s plans.
Taken for what it is, (a fast paced action movie) I thought it was very enjoyable. Not enough of Sherlock doing his detective thing for my taste. It’s also very much a Bro-mance maybe even more than its a detective story as Sherlock has a hard time letting go of his friend Watson who is trying to get married and move on. The characters have a great report and its fun watching them do their verbal sparing.
-- Overall: Worth seeing on the big screen.

Breaking Bad: Saw the fly episode- good, but not as good as them getting stranded in the dessert. Jesse discovers that selling to people in rehab is not that easy, and gets a girlfriend. Skyler wants to get involved with the money laundering. Gus has diner with Walter- gives him cryptic advise. (don’t make the same mistake twice) Jesse discovers the identity of the kid and crew that killed homeslice. Comes up with a plan to kill them with poison which Walter wants no part of. Gus finds out and brings them all in. Gus tells Jesse to keep the peace and tells the dealers to stop using kids. They kill the kid and jesse goes to shoot them. Walter runs over both of them with his car and shoots one in the head.
Sherlock Holmes (BBC): Season 2 of the Moffit written series has started with a bang. Excellent show with all of the magic of the first season. Love Sherlocks portrayal in this series.

@TheAddictedCast Jelly here, too. Ironic that the Americans call it jello, and we don't! "Red and bounces." Nice,@hypknotoad.
Jason Candelaria @Continuumm_PoH
@OotiniCast @TheAddictedCast@hypknotoad it called jell-o in American because that is the brand name of the gelatine that is most common.
Tempeste @tempeste
@Continuumm_PoH @OotiniCast@TheAddictedCast @hypknotoad so you agree it is jelly then? So what are you gonna call your jam?

to Hypknotoad and Cypher_X,
To the guys, that talk more about food than Warcraft,
To the guys that from episode one, made me laughed,
To the guys that have a great chemistry,
Whether its about food or oniology.
the only thing confusing, is that witch thing,
Wether you mean; Wich, Witch or the whych is something i have trouble understanding
Nonetheless, you 2 make me laugh every week,
With topics for every kinda geek.
Ill end this rhyme with famous words from australia,
