I'm done with my exams, so I guess I'll be playing more. Unfortunately, the server is empty a lot.

Going to be looking for work. Recently got into Splinter Cell: CT with my friends.

Been busy playing tour guide.  Haven't played  much since the 14th and I won't be able to play anything till the 25th.  OMG I am suffering serious withdrawals!  I'll be back soon.  

BTW Bryan, spell checkers are overrated, especially in your case.  :p

yeah. i'm opening a restaraunt taht usually has a45 person staff and right now employes 25 people. today is my 10th straight day at work. im gonna be near a hundred hours this week.


It looks like next week is more of the same.

With the death of LMO, i haven't had the fortitude to get out fo a 15 hour shift and get on the server. Particularly, becasue none of the 3 games i have played this week have been fun.  right now BF@ sp is more fun.:(

I think its just a reflection of the game as a whole.

The updates to the game are less frequent and smaller.  Less change = game becomes stale = interest level decreases. Games tend to play out quite predictably as people have settled into mc/dc/sc. Therea big rift between the experienced and inexperienced as the casual skilled players drop off leaving only newbies and diehards remaining.

Also tking the hive to use the mc ability is an issue. It skews the win/loss ratio even futher towards the Aliens. They dont need to fight very hard for map control anymore.

I find myself quitting out of extreme flustration more frequently than i used to, on all servers.

I work full time, all the time, and am almost always on call. So I don't have as much time as I used to. Once I settle into my new scheduel, I should be around more. :)

Okay, okay, I admit it.  I got a GF, and since then my time online has been SERIOUSLY decreasing.  Despite my best efforts (read: halfhearted) I simply can't manage to motivate myself to tell her I don't want to hang out with her so that I can play a game.

So you all get second class treatment until further notice.

Well, i've been around quite a bit actually. Been playing a lot on fr31ns and lm (usually nighttime eastern), but other than that, i'm teaching summer school classes to retards who managed to somehow fail their freshman american government class. honestly, the teacher for that class during the regular school year plows through half a fifth of jack daniels before class starts at 7:20 am and has the rest finished by lunch time...shes been doing it since i had her for a teacher almost 10 years ago, it takes exactly 6 brain cells to pass her course. its boring and the kids have the collective IQ of an eggplant, but it puts me up for a raise come august...to a whopping $32.5k a year.

on a side note, i wish someone could explain to me why my brother, who is a high school dropout, makes $37k a year being a digital communications dispatcher for the county and only works 20-25 hours a week (full benefits too) and im only making $30k a year working 50+ hours a week, taking work home and having a college degree. what the hell is wrong with our country?

back on topic with you!

Create a new thread if you want to debate the life of our future's educators.  Anymore of it here and I'm deleting all the off-topicness in this thread  >:D

I've been 'busy' and thus haven't played NS in awhile.  I think some (most?) of you know I'm pregnant.  Due in December :)  and besides that there's just a ton of 'personal' stuff going on in my life right now and it just doesn't allow for too much computer time after work.  I'm still around... just not as much.

DHP: Thread cleaned, keep it on topic, or i'll bloody get you in your sleep with a large piece of pastry that i'm going to ram so hard up y....

We can blame full-time work and WoW on my end.  I still try to play NS once or twice a week, but I guess with the rest of us busy/whatever, I run into empty servers more often, so I end up playing even less.  Too bad really.  But I still love you guys.

Homework and RL in general have been taking over... moved last weekend, gf's moving in next week as well, so that should cut down on some gaming time.  Mostly the only game I play nowadays is NS, and that's on LM :rolleyes:

So yeah, those are my excuses  :p

meh, I don't have steady computer access unless I'm at my local library

<3 raddeh

so has TLM been empty as of late or what?

[edit]
rad, how does the second job block IRC? Moreover, are you morally and ethically down to get past this blocking?

Now that I'm about to get into doing my job, i won't have time to have IRC up. But the second job is murder. Well, that and waiting for this child to be born...

And the fact that BF2 lags to heck and is unplayable half my day on ranked servers...
