I was just in Melbourne this past spring to see some spring training stuff. I used to live in Ft. Myers, FL, and hated it, so I expected the same from Melbourne. I was really surprised at how much nicer that area of FL was. Very clean, not too much traffic, going downtown was fun, beach was...

Thorough city review- thanks. Hadn't considered KY, but a guy I know that used to live here lives in Lexington now and likes it.

Spent a week in Austin last summer. Had a great time. It had great night life and a fantastic music scene. I definitely considered it, but it was very hot and there are no mountains/beaches nearby.

I would deal with it to be close to family. I live in Savannah Ga now so I know I could handle hot and humid. It's the other stuff with Raleigh I'm not sure about

Don't need to live directly in Boulder. It would be nice though. I've come to learn living near a cool place is totally different from living in it. That said, if I could get pretty close i'd be happy.

Isn't HIV a big issue in Thailand? Not joking

You're the second person recently to mention SLO. How similar is the weather to San Diego?

US would be a lot easier but I could probably make overseas happen. I didn't list it because it would be difficult to swing, but Perth Australia was also on my list.

Thanks, that's the first hand account type of stuff I'm looking for. I don't mind getting hit with a blizzard every few years if the weather is awesome most of the time. Just looking at Zillow, real estate prices are pretty damn high there, you're right. I even looked into Luisville next door...

I wasn't looking at any average temperatures. I was looking at the daily high temperature and low temperature each day over a period of several months and several years.

Yeah, I thought so too, but I did a little research into some of the historical weather data for Boulder, and it looks like they have pretty nice weather. Even in March and February and December they were getting days into the 60s and even 70s. The snowfall seems frequent but very light...

Only thing I've heard about Quebec is they have nice strip joints, and that's not really a consideration (although generally attractive women would certainly be a plus). Besides, I'm pretty sure the climate in Quebec would strike it off my list pretty quickly.

I'm ready to leave my current city and my job allows me to move just about anywhere, so I'm looking for an amazing place to live. FoH/Rerolled community has been a fantastic resource for all kinds of great stuff over the years, so I'm turning to you guys now for your opinions on where I...

Looking to move there and considering either Charlotte or Raleigh. Anyone know anything about either of these? Pros, cons, etc?

Those Dockers may be a great call for non-court days- thanks. Going to order a pair and see how they look/fit. Was also going to look intoShop Allbut I didn't know how much of their appeal was snazzy marketing and how much was actually performance.

Funny you should mention that. Right before I made that post I checked online and found a J Crew style I really like but they have zero color options for the Bowery Slim line. They literally only have ONE color option for each material (Irish linen, Japanese Chambray, etc). Kind of crazy they...

I need new dress pants that are stylish but won't break my bank- anyone have recommendations? I like slimmer fit, flat front style (non-wrinkle preferably). I tried Jos A Banks and Men's Warehouse, but everything I tried was boxy, and wide-legged with a huge crotch. I would be looking to...

Listen man, if the Remington thing doesn't work out, just pick yourself out something from here:MOBA : The Collection There are some true masterpieces in that collection and they can be had for bargain prices. Good luck though, for real.

Easy there superstar. If you read above that post you quoted you'll see I was no fan of the spell book thing either.

I'm not dismissing you, I'm just suggesting you look at some of those features in another light.

Don't get me wrong. Obviously you're free to judge anything you'd like. I'm just saying in my opinion if your judgment ignores a feature's value to the overall gestalt then your judgment has limited usefulness as it relates to the game as a whole.

Gestalt. Trying to break down games by picking and choosing individual aspects and parts of those games never works. The value of each individual aspect of a game can only truly be judged when viewed through the lens of how that feature contributed to the game as a greater whole. The question...

The writers have clearly conveyed the following things about Mcadams' character: 1. She has daddy issues; 2. She enjoys something sexual that most women wouldn't normally request from their partner; 3. has an "outside the bedroom" persona that is clearly opposed to things she considers...

Flying mounts and magic swords +1000 make the game "easier" too

Followup review from my earlier review: My room mate and I have gotten our cleric/chanter/monk/pally/mage/mage group up to 40. We've been taking things slowly and doing quests for fun (Ro armor, Jboots, etc). I was concerned that the longer we played on the server the more problems we would...

Again, The Dark Tower series was tiedveryintimately with "reality." The reality of it is, most stories don't end in storybook fashion, they end at a truck stop in Duluth, or with an ignoble death in the mud of a ditch, or with an unexpected car crash- all those things that actually happen that...

I suppose I can understand that. But Wind was basically done in the exact same vein as the story of Roland and Susan in Wizard and I think King is at his best when telling stories like that. It didn't disappoint, either.

It was a good book, too (The Wind Through the Keyhole). I don't think The Dark Tower is over yet, so don't be so salty. King has hinted as much, anyway.

I agree. People wanted some type of storybook ending, but the novels were never going to end that way- you could see that from very early on. What makes King great is his affinity for the Truth and his ability to capture realities that may be inconvenient to the story but that nevertheless...

He "Mcguyvers" a whole lot more than just the HAB (base). He actually does quite a few pretty amazing/ingenious things to survive (above and beyond Mcguyver stuff) in a ridiculously inhospitable environment. It's not just Damon's character, either. NASA has to try an overcome some virtually...

I'm going to take a guess and say that the movie will be heavier on the psychology and lighter on the science than the book- but be otherwise pretty faithful. Other than making Venkat Nigerian instead of Indian (for some reason).

If you'd read the book you'd be more hyped. Trying to look at the trailer objectively I can see why it might underwhelm. The book was fantastic. Also, what the hell did they do to my favorite character (aside form Watney) Venkat Kapoor? They really couldn't find an Indian guy to play him?

I thought the story of young Roland and Susan Delgado in W&G was one of the best stories King has written- and I've read most of what he's written.

Shit man, when' the patch that removes guise? I'm still a couple levels low for that camp and don't want to miss it ;p

Gates of Fire.Pressfield. Wow. How did I miss this one for so long? Anyone who even slightly enjoys historical fiction (emphasis on military history) has to put this high on their list. What a fantastic book.

My room mate started a BST/Dru for when we couldnt be on at the same time and he is kind of struggling a bit with it. I'll second Dru/Mage. That would be a lethal combo on this server. Same with Necro/Dru. Enc/Dru is a great combo too, but it's better as a two-person duo than a box.

Since I asked for a review earlier, I'll go ahead and give my own now that I've been playing for several weeks. TL;DR: I've run the gamut with EQ Emu servers for more than a decade and this is probably the best original EQ option (other than P99). I won't get into why I'm not interested in...

I figured out what the problem was. The instructions provided here:Project 2002 Loginare only going to work for people who already have the EQ Mac client. If you get it from this thread (like me) you will have to make adjustments. It's not difficult, but it took me a while to figure out...

Like I said, check the tech help forums, there are others who have dead-ended with the instructions in the same place I am dead-ending. Regardless, I'm less interested in debating the efficacy of the instructions and more interested in getting this shit to work If you don't mind, check the...

Thanks for the link. I checked it out and it's definitely missing some crucial steps. Either that or it assumes the reader is an expert Mac user, which I am definitely not. I posted in the tech help forums and hopefully I will get a reply. From the look of the tech help forums, a few other...
