How many days until school starts again?

Discussion in 'Public General Chat' started by Don Zardeone, Jun 22, 2008.

  1. All the games I still casually play are now infested with kids who are on their school vacation.

    Nobody goes for objectives, everybody farms the noobs, it's chaos!


    Just like those kids count down the days until they can play 24/7, I count down the days until they're gone again.


    =(

    Hahaha. You can expect their departure (at least over here in the US) in late August or the beginning of September.

    Is it like that on GW? I've been on WoW.

    And I shudder to think how Xbox Live is doing..

    Depends what you want to play
    On Halo I put it to team and party only most of the time anyway and you can always mute people that are really annoying

    Remeber, Don, some adults can be just as much of a drag to play with. :p But to answer your question, late august/early september.

    Yeah, thats true. And sorry I haven't been around - It's crunch time for my game this term. The game is handed in tomorrow, and I'm on exams this week which are primarily take home shit so I'll be available much more often for sure. Just hit me up sometime, Zar.

    Alright. I'll be slightly busy tonight since I need to finish my level for Level Design tomorrow (thats my final exam) and then production will be a take-home 2 question PoS exam that I can do in about 30 seconds. If I have time though later, be on MSN and I'll message you. Maybe we can get Ru on for some SWAT or something.

    (Sorry for the hijack if we did)
