I haven't seen many people in Teamspeak lately, just wondering - I know I haven't had time. But for when I grouped it was great.
So how has everyones life been? :p <- unnecessary emoticon.

Fine, if a little busy with lab reports on plant sex, presentations on fly sex, and grad school research.
I was hoping for a Synapse TF this weekend, but peeps of the appropriate level were rarely on. Anyone up for a TF next Saturday? Either the 16+ or 21+ one, depending on what level I am :).
P.S. Still no luck on the crahsing problem, though I'm working on it.

I was scarce last week because I was so damn busy. I'll be lucky if I can get on before Thursday of this week, but I'm still playing. ;)

I was actually with a GIRL this weekend. Shocking, I know, I still can't believe it. But I should be back to the safe confines of nerddom this week, starting tonight, I hope.

I've been around. Hey, I've even got my mic working again. I've a friend of mine who I've been kabitzing with lately over Teamspeak, and unfortunately it's a one or the other thing.
Population level has been low in the game as well as out. The honeymoon isn't over yet, is it? Content seems to open up a bit more at about the 15-20ish point, judging by this high tech facility I ran across in a mission. Also, the mission storylines are really kinda compelling. So this and other things might entice some people to come back.

I wasn't worried about people quitting, I was just wondering if people's lives were as busy as mine had been these last few weeks.

Spent the last week studying for my final exam in criminal procedure.
Crim pro involved about oh, I dunno, 120-200 cases that I had to read and know and be able to discuss 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment (both equal protection and due process) theory in a relatively intelligent manner.
Saturday is my commercial transactions law final (sales, bills of lading & warehouse receipts, payment systems, and secured transactions) and then, assuming I passed both of these classes, I'm graduated.
Of course, June 1 starts bar exam prep time and I'll probably have about 3 hours or maybe 4 a night if I'm lucky.
So yeah, I won't get to do any more serious playing until the end of July. Well, and May 15-June 1.
I definitely won't play May 19, because it's my birthday and I'm celebrating that and my graduation on the same night. It should get ugly. At least, if it's a good party and all.
So yeah, there's everything you never really wanted to know about my non-playingness for the last while and upcoming non-playingness periods.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Shit, I was on 10 hours on Saturday doing that Positron TF mission. I was even on TS for about half that time and only one person came on. I had to quit TS as my machine was running like shit and I couldn't take the time to reboot it because I was the leader of the TF.
BTW, if your hard drive thrases a shitton (like if you only have 256 MB RAM, and your machine has been on for 24 hours straight with Win98SE), you can be disconnected simply because your goddamn HD is locking you up so long the server forgets where you are. Mental note.... get more fucking RAM.

I haven't been busy a bit. I've been snubbing you lot... that's all. I have a pleasant date with my doctor tonight... if it goes well and I'm in a good mood, I might drop in TS this week and let you all mock me back into my usual, morose, gothy self.
Why are there not more girls on TS? I could use the support.

I've been graduating, having post graduation parties, buying furniture, packing, etc. I log onto TS occasionally, see noone I know, and go play WoW.

I do wish they filtered in more maps before the 20+ stage of the game. Get tired of sewers/office buildings/warehouses/caves when playing a lot of alts. The other maps are all so much better. I know they are there, I have freaking seen them in beta, but they just don't show up till later.

I try to get in an hour or two every night (with admitedly limited success). But I rarely see anyone on. Do people generally play during the days or something?

That's why I asked if everyone was alive. I know the fun is still there, but the people don't seem to be. I was worried about a mass suicide or something. Paging Mr. Applegate. |

I've been pretty busy lately. Family in town for a few days, GF here on the weekends.
My GF lives an hour and a half away and we alternate visiting each other each weekend. Even when she's here, I have to avoid computer games to prevent her from freaking out ("Not another game! Don't you love me?").
My playtimes are basically Monday-Thursday with maybe a little time on Sunday afternoons if the GF is out of the way.

Looks to me like most people want to play but are having schedule problems, and while CoH was high on the list of things to do when it first game out, it looks to have progressed to the second stage of MMOG addiction for most of us. People think they 'Must play CoH as long as it doesn't jeopardize work/school/sex' instead of 'Must play CoH. Period.' My guess is that things will pick up at the end of May/early June as school starts to let up. |

My husband has a perfectly clipped BBC English accent. Quite extroidinary for a Scot. Unfortunately, boarding school will do that to you. Anyway, he sucks at speaking as a woman... and Sonic offered.

Hmmm. This calls for a new Super Group: Judean People's Suicide Squad! Or would that be Suicide Squad of the Judean Peoples Front. No, that's the Popular Front. What? My guess is that things will pick up at the end of May/early June as school starts to let up. Goddamn children. GET A REAL JOB IN INDIA YOU LOOSERS! |
