[Graham]

The crew fills you in on BroWatch2014 and answers your questions!

The NCIS hacking scene more ridiculous than The Elite Hacks.

The 'really' thing was mine. On the one hand, it was intended as a question about peculiarly Canadian pronunciations (vis Canadian accents) and that wasn't answered. On the other hand, it got answered when I'd been thinking I'd missed the boat having asked the question just after getting in from a gig that had finished roughly twenty minutes earlier. Plus, you know, Paul neighing and Kathleen's vaguely valley girl ish response. So win win.

I actually sat there with a hand over my face, groaning, at Paul's 'Les Miz' comment. Good going Paul.

The Sochi thing has been a neverending source of ill humoured amusement. It makes wrestling backstage politics look tame.

O'God that Yorkshire Accent, that was something............

I was debating between 2G, 3G, or 3R. I went with making him playable. 3R is the typical land destruction cost, but you can only destroy a forest...


So for 1G you get a 1/2
For 3GG(5) you get a 1/2 and destroy a forest.
For 5GGG(8) you get a 1/2 and destroy two forests

Does anyone have any idea why LRRCasts no longer run for me in Firefox and require me to use Chrome instead?

How are they failing? You might have to update Flash Player, but that usually isn't an issue with independent uploaders on YouTube. I had an issue a while back where in Firefox I would constantly get an error with the black snow background on the video, and it turned out it was an old install of RealPlayer (which has a video downloader plugin) interfering, so I installed a new version and everything was fine. But boy was tracking that down frustrating.

As general advice you could try turning off all plug-ins, extensions, and add-ons in Firefox temporarily to see if any of those are the problem.

That card game with the magnet and balled creatures is called Bakugan and is a pretty great idea if you ask me. Combining the appeal of Transformers with Pokemon is absolutely a win.

I dunno, seemed like a perfect Dorset accent to me.
