Same. So tired of the vehicle congestion, crashes, shoveling, salt, slush, parking, etc etc etc. It is a mess. I need to move. |

So many questions, so few answers. Starting with even if Disney could make a deal with Fox to Blu-ray the original film, is the original film/negative in an usable state? Will Fox even be willing to make any deals? They strike me as the kind of company which might say, "We own it, screw you. We'll just keep releasing it as it is." Until we learn there are signed contracts saying otherwise, I'm going to assume that Fox will be an obstacle to anything I might want/like to see happen.

Disney's so loaded I wouldn't be surprised if they bought out Fox as well - - problem solved!!
The only way Fox gives up any rights is if Disney has something Fox wants/needs...and I just don't have any suggestions what that might be. It wouldn't be money, Fox has plenty of that, it would have to be a license/franchise or a group of licenses/franchises.
I believe fox did the X-Men movies? Since those seem separate from the Avengers line (not unlike how Sony is doing with Spidey), I'm sure Disney could do something to sweeten the pot there...

I simply couldn't live in Florida permanently. I was in Montgomery, AL for 3 years and that was bad enough. When I got there and I told people I disliked (didn't bother telling them I hated it) the warmer weather, the response was generally the same. "You'll get used to it and never want to move back north." Uh, no.
I like the seasons. I like that sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's bloody hot and sometimes it's bitterly cold. Personally I find it much easier to deal with extremely cold weather than extremely hot weather. |

If you're already wondering if you'd miss something by moving here, you're better off where you are. Seriously, this state is NOT all it's cracked up to be...by a long shot. I've been here 17 years, longer now than the time I spent growing up in NJ. I tell everyone that I came down here kicking and screaming but in truth I was curious what this place would be like as I had never lived outside of NJ, and aside from week long romps to NM, IN, and VA, never ventured far from it's borders. One thing that stuck with me is something a good friends mom said to me before we left, as they had a summer home on the east coast of FL. She told me that the air in FL has almost no smell, nothing compared to NJ. She was right. Aside for a couple months in the winter, the air in FL is mostly stagnant and I found myself missing NJ's sweet cut grass and clean, cold morning air almost as much as the snow.
Speaking of snow...the year I left NJ (in Sept of 1993), we had a major blizzard - the 'Superstorm of '93'. Never before had I witnessed such an awe-inspiring event. Having to trudge across a frozen lake, along with three friends, every one keeping an eye on the one in front of them, while wearing a swimming mask so I could see in the horizontal, two-inch-per-hour snowfall as the wind howled and thunder boomed, almost as dark as night at noon was something I will NEVER forget. I had loved snow before but that sealed the deal for me.
I can understand the want to get away from the snow and cold, as my parents did coming to FL after spending their whole lives (over 50 years at that point) in NJ. Not everyone loves it. It can be a serious hassle, having to shovel it and walk in it and by the end of the winter you're sick of seeing it. Especially that nasty brown-black crud on the corners and along the roads that melts last and holds all the sand and salt put down that year, which forces you to wash your car frequently so the frame doesn't rust (at least before fiberglass and protective paint came along). I know the feeling. Too much of a good thing is never good either. But you hit on something that few realize. You treasure those warmer seasons more because they are finite and don't last. Being able to do something all the time takes some of the anticipation and fun out of it. You can ride all year down here, yes. Our neighbor rides two or three times a day. You would quickly tire of it though as you pointed out, there are no mountain trails or overlooks here. It's not 'Texas flat' but just somewhat 'hilly'. I liken the topography to NW NJ, where I'm from, though without the Appalachian chain running through it, obviously.

GMG has another 25% off code GMG25-UAAHK-6AI9S
Ravaged is $9.99 @ Rain DG
GameFly has a coupon code for 25% off BETATHANKS
And Faerie Solitaire is free on Steam if you get it before November 8.
With the GameFly code you can get The Walking Dead for $11.99. I was going to wait and get it when all the episodes are out, but I wonder how long it will be for it to go on sale for as low or lower once the last episode is out.

Depends on your feelings about Origin. Despite its standard BF series flaws (balance, cheating) I enjoyed it immensely for several months. I've always preferred the large scale battles with vehicles style of game vs the COD style though.
Origin is a PITA to set up and register (I had to do twice from scratch due to a nonrecoverable bug in their system), but once logged in, it works fairly seamlessly. |

I take it you guys up there in the NE are not ready for Round 2 yet? Unfortunately, whether anyone's ready or not, in four days it'll be pounding the same ground Sandy did two weeks before... Just hope that this pattern, like the surprise Halloween Blizzard last year, isn't evidence of the rest of the season...

It wouldn't shock me to see the whole package drop further down then 48 dollars as we head into the holidays, particularly since BF4 is already on the horizon. That said, if you like those types of games, it isn't like it isn't worth the money. As NegaDeath said it is a largely enjoyable game for fans of the genre despite some of the predictable and tired flaws that the series just doesn't seem to be able to shake. |
