I've got these arriving today. Also decided to upgrade my BD of Time Bandits to the Criterion one.

also different realities.

I watch films in my HT, maybe there are family and friends in there watching with me. There is nothing inherently in it that requires anything external.

When someone plays any MMO then you need that connection and servers and player every time you play. It does not matter if someone bought MAG on PS3 on physical media or digital, the servers where taken down in Jan 2014 so someone with a disk can re-install it on a PS3 if they want to re-install today but it will be un-playable, is that any better then someone that bought it digitally back then and can't re-install now?

Getting into the Criterion sale.

After having been in the new house for 8 months, framing actually is supposed to start this week for the basement. I hope to be enjoying my system again by September as I have learned things move so slow in Delaware. I will be ordering a new screen and theater seats once framing is complete so I can get an accurate measurement of the room. I am thinking about taking pictures and posting along the way, but not sure if I want to be that guy.

You should be that guy. You had a beautiful theater last time.

I concur.

Who doesn't want to see a work of art as it progresses from concept to reality?

Every great home theater I see is ruined by 4seating. It's so impersonal and gross.

I was not looking at 4seating as a company…..or do you mean theater seating in general?

Getting a laser projector next year. Time for a change.

if you want to be or not be that guy for yourself (take your time to do so), then it is your decision. But there is a forum for construction and the people that will be checking out your thread will be interested in what you are doing.

ps if you decide to start a thread in the construction forum add a link to this thread to let us know.

As "that guy" that posted a picture of himself trying to drink a giant pint of GUINNESS prop from the factory tour... I think you should post all the pictures..

One of my favourite things about this site is the opportunity to peep in on people's galleries..

Your on this side of the pond just as I'm getting ready to leave

Barcelona has been an amazing city but is currently scorchingly hot!

Nearly passed out today from the heat after a second day of walking around looking for Gaudi treasures... we've averaged about 27,000 steps a day on this trip... and I'm still pretty sure that I've actually put on weight..lol..

We would really like to know what you chose for seating.

We have 2 Palliser power recline theater seats and a Palliser 3 piece sectional. We want to move that upstairs and get all new for the home theater. Problem is Palliser currently does not have any really dark color fabrics and not many make home theater seats, sectionals with fabric covering.

Screen, if you decide on a new one then lets us know your choice.

What's hot? Here in St George, UT today it will be 103F or about 40C. When I walk my 3 Miles in the morning it's 85F or about 30C. No problem walking down the Virgin River Trail..I do carry my water bottle!

I think much depends on the humidity levels too. Madrid for example regularly hits 40/41C during the summer but it's a dry heat with low humidity, so the heat is a little more bearable. Here in the UK we're currently going through a hot spell (at least hot by UK standards), with temperatures hitting the low 30's in the south. However it's a very humid heat, so this makes it more uncomfortable.

Yeah.. the actual temperatures were higher in Paris last week and we found them to be tough... but, with the humidity, Barcelona has been on a whole other level...

I hate the warm weather, if it’s like this next year it’s time for air conditioning.
