I was always amused at how long some members were left in positions whilst absent. Never really had a problem with it though. I do miss Kishi

"Abandonment thread" just doesn't sound quite right. ;_;

That's true, one was more of a declared MIA or something.

I don't think "retirement" is the appropriate word here~

I'll still be here BoB!

I probably won't. EoFF will be dead by that point.

You're just nervous that you won't get one.

I am the whiny person now.

Screw the whiny people!

I should probably try out FFV at some stage. However, you should definitely finish FFIX. I love that one.

Isn't it so much fun?

Did you play the GBA version?

Good job on the getting things done! Moving past the point where you can travel all over the world and getting things done is actually quite hard. Stepping into that last castle takes some effort.

Working on FFV myself. :] lovely game!

If you liked FFV I'd highly recommend III. III has been one of my favorites since long before it was available on DS. I also highly recommend the PSP version of FFI. I find myself going back to FFI with great regularity and love it.

Also, hold out on FFIV until the new PSP version comes out with The After Years included since it will save you some money on WiiWare. Also, I personally have trouble sitting down on a couch to play those types of games any more, but that's just a personal preference.

The most recent DS version of FFVI is great and I wonder if they are ever going to remake it. My wife keeps saying she hopes they remake it for 3DSor PSP2 and I have to agree.

I'd hold off on FF II until you're pretty much done with everything else since it's likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Also, if possible (that is, if you haven't started yet), I'd hold off on FFIX until you've played most of the older games. Half of the awesomeness of that game is the self-referential fan-service of the FF series to that point.

Old people are vulnerable to everything.

Yeah, but last year's snow was such a freaky thing. The last time before that that I remember serious snow fall was when I was like 10. Though I do remember a freak snow in San Antonio (I was there on business) one year. I was shorts, a tropical type shirt and mandals. Suddenly... SNOW WTF? Of course none of it stuck and it was gone in an hour, so that doesn't really count.

I live in DFW area, yes I was snowed in for 2 days last year

You see snow? I've lived in Texas all my life and seen snow twice in those nearly 30 years.

As for moving, we'd really thought about Seattle because we love rain. Rain fills me with awesome. I even close the curtains and put on ambient rain noises in the house when I'm doing housework. We've also considered moving to Canada for political and social reasons. Liberal, atheist, bisexual (wife) teachers in Texas don't do so well. We have to lie about pretty much everything to live here.

While I'm sure I might get tired of the cold, I really like dressing in layers; it's something I get to do so rarely here. You can always put on more clothing when it's cold, but you can only take so many off when you're hot.

I love the winter, it's the only time I ever get to see snow

My personally internal clock seems to be counter the darkness anyway and I normally don't get tired until quite late which is already 5 or so hours after dark so I just enjoy the dark cool evenings for taking walks and the like.

I'd suggest not moving too far, maybe try somewhere cooler but not totally cold as eventually, you'll end up hating the rain and cold over time. I find the best place to be is somewhere that has a healthy balance of the two. Still, the cold doesn't bother me so much as the darkness does. I need some sunlight in my day to feel awake.
