@Hawk: I just have to rent an apartment on the other side of the Oregon/Idaho border and I can grow and use. The border is only 12 miles away, and I don't actually have to live there permanently. I just have to be on that side of the border to do it. All because of a debilitating leg disease. I'm only interested in the Washington thing because it's a potentially landmark event in recent history. Oh, and Colorado was trying to do the same thing, but before all the votes had been counted the Governor (who opposed it) said "don't break out the Cheetos and Gold Fish yet." I found that line absolutely hilarious.

@Bio: Really wish I could play it with you. Might be getting a new 360 for Xmas so I might be able to play then. Assuming you haven't pawned it for something else.

@Mac: when you rebooted the world, you forgot to make where I live prettier country ... milder weather ...

@Hikaro: sadly, the political arena won't be silent for a few more weeks ... I'm in agreement with you about ready for another world topic.

@QBlade: glad you and the folks where you work were able to be safe. Drugs and violence are a bad combo for sure.

I have a story:
After getting our Halo 4 games, at the midnight release of the closest Gamestop (2 hours over), my son Wes and I headed to the closest Walmart to prep for our drive home. When we got in the car, and I started to backup, I saw someone walking behind us - so I stopped, so I wouldn't hit him. It was a guy 60-ish. He walked up to my car and tried to open the back seat door!! Thankfully the car was locked and the door didn't open. He just stared at us ... so I looked around and carefully pulled away from him. Needless to say, I was wide awake then, and ready to get home!

Halo4 enjoying what I've been able to play. I probably won't get the game finished until this weekend though ... oh well.

Holy cr#p mC! Glad to hear that the doors were locked and nothing bad happened. \

In other news: I am currently visiting my mom and dad in Florida. While it may be "chilly" it is tons better than the 30 -50 degree weather we were having in Ohio. Further, I haven't seen my parents since last December so yay for that.

Just quickly waving hi to everyone. A good chunk of family and I will be going to out house in Kyoto Japan from the 24th of Nov to about the 5th of Jan. Several of the kids that are going have been ok-ed for school over there during that time. I don't know if I posted here about one of my old buddies who was in a wheelchair due to missing the lower part of his legs. He went missing leaving all his belongings including his wheelchair a bit ago. I went to NY last weekend to ID him. We're working out funeral arrangements and attempting to track down relatives.

Nah I generally hold onto Halo games. Hope you can get it!

I'm gonna wait for Christmas for that and Assassin's Creed 3 hahah. So I'll play it with you in a few months

Sounds good
Gonna have a Halo 4 party tomorrow... So far we've got 4 xboxes and 4 TV's. And enough players to fill them all up

@Machetero: enjoy the nice weather, and especially a chance to see family!!

@Arcanamachi: sorry to hear about your friend. May you and all have a good and safe trip.

@Bio: Sweet!! group gaming is soooo much fun! Wish I had more free time for that. Enjoy!

@Arcan: That's sad.

So, my USO cousin was just given a medal in eastern Afghanistan. He's awesome.

@arcanamachi: Sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you enjoy the trip though!

@mC: I'm honestly more excited to see my parents then the weather. But, the warmer weather is definitely a nice bonus.

@the rest of you sorry lot :oP: The one bad thing about this trip: Can't play vidjiagames.
