I wish I went to your college then, I'm kept pretty damn busy.
New Media, you are expected to sleep less >.> Devo could possibly back me up on this.

Yeah, In college you have tons of free time before classes/between classes. After classes its hw and partying.
You have time for everything in College, unless of course you have a job on top of going to school full time.

The artwork is a cover up, Microsoft forced 343 to use Reach Forge mode to create all the levels in Halo 4. In Halo 4, they will add the colour yellow to the rotation and well... it will be special.

I would consider going to school full time not having the time to do much "partying". Of course you could just ,be a game design student Xp I jest I jest. However a could game design students from my college, three I think, went on to go work at Bungie.

This.
My freshman, sophomore, and even junior year of college wasn't easy but it never took 40 hours a week. (47 hours a week including the commute.) Senior year was much, much harder with my senior design class, but even then I still had more time for gaming than I do now.
Of course, I was also broke as shit and living off of my parents' income.
Now I pay all my own bills and can afford to buy games, but I don't have nearly as much free time to play them.
Being sociable also takes more time now - in college all of my friends were close at hand. Hanging out was convenient and we could quickly and easily transition from schoolwork to gaming to partying. Now I have to make plans, drive everywhere, change out of workclothes, etc.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.
That's probably what I wasn't accounting for.
Looking back on it, yeah college does give you a hell of a lot more free time, but gaming isn't the best option for fun anymore.
At least it isn't the most viable.
k full time job GAF. You win. Your life sucks.

Wish I went to your College, my first year of College was pretty brutal, guys would spring tests and courseworks out of nowhere and give like a deadline of within the week. When that happened with multiple lecturers you were screwed. I still fit in a ton of Halo but im finding working life easier because at 5 im done. Im still learning stuff for my own reasons and maybe doing job apps here and there to things that look great and are a step up. But learning seems to be harder than working. (Maybe thats just the position I was in though. )

It's not too bad, while my current job isn't ideal, I'd say working on my personal artwork eats into my gaming time more
My time in college was a huge waste of time(unfortunately it also consumed a lot of time)
Wow I am in a meeting about hardcore command line database management, this doesn't apply to me at all and I don't understand any of it... sigh. Game art/any art job please...
And no one is posting either, Fml

I'm sorry, but your "gaming age" theories aren't relevant to this forum. This is GAF, not IGN.
YOU'RE CLEARLY AN IDIOT AND CAN'T EVEN TYPE THE NAME OF THE HYPOTHESIS CORRECTLY, WHAT ARE YOU, A KOTAKU READER?

Yea I dunno I don't have much gaming time since I left college. Full time work is garbage.

I'd rather work full time and make money than worry about homework and tests. Working full time means my weekends are free of anything and open to gaming.
Still find it weird that we can't manage fileshares from Waypoint. Is this ever planned to come over or are Reach fileshares a Bungie-hosted feature? As it is I still use Bungie.net as my stats hub because I can't see my weekly progress or files from the Waypoint side.
Secondly, someone needs to make it so Waypoint thread title field (when making a thread) isn't all caps, and links need to be set to another color than grey so it's not grey-on-grey text.

Regarding the new LD maps, were some of the hiding spots and exploits fixed?
I know from a few on Boardwalk and Asylum which were pretty frustrating.

They are softkilled to hell and back. A couple of them also use soft kills in non-hiding places just to keep people moving and preventing bunching up on more abusable-but-on-the-map areas.

Huh.
I'm old, so I was out of grad school by the time Halo came out.
When Halo 2 was released, I had a full-time job (self-employed, my own business), a wife and 3 kids (9, 10, 12). Life was busy... but the kids had a pretty fixed schedule, so there was some free time. What wasn't used running HBO was put towards Halo 2.
When Halo 3 came out, my kids were 12, 13, 15 - slightly more rambunctious years, but still not too nuts. My wife had gone back to work by that time, though, so my parenting time went up. The business had grown, as well - more work. HBO was busier. And yet, I had more time to game.
When Reach came out, my kids were 15, 16, 18. My oldest was away in college - but my middle son was in serious trouble, and requiring some pretty heavy time commitments. We were visiting therapists, law enforcement officials, and were in talking to school officials on a nearly daily basis. Work continued to expand. (There were days I was working 15+ hours.)
I think Matchmaking might have been an escape.

Holy shit you're old.
Fixed. After 23-24 or so you just kind of stop counting
As an example, the entire back second floor (near the lower sniper, where people usually like to jump into the trees and to / from to that green flag-post-thing) is a softkill on Deadwalk. Plus there's ANOTHER softkill on top of that on top of the posts and lights.

You assholes ruined the surprise!
I baked a giant cake and got Walshy to hide inside it. What the hell am I supposed to do with it now?

Throw Walshy out of the cake. Put a mannequin with the 343i hoodie in it. And you would give me the best birthday present of all time!

You guys are so young.
I turned 24 way back in September.
I think I'll just save time and make Walshy wear the hoodie. How big of a box will I need to ship this thing to Germany? Should I poke some air holes in the box?
Huh.

Hopefully I'll find H4 to be an escape as well since I'll be out of grad school for about 6 months when it releases.
I'll probably just hop on up your way to a LAN so you can teach me!

That's one of the main reasons that I play games at all. So nice to be able to dive into a game and for an hour or so, forget real life.
Happy Birthday Tashi!

Did anyone buy already more tickets? I don't have the money to pay it this month. I'd definitely pay next month. You will even get a soda and some German candies for it at PAX east. I promise!

Thanks, and yup, I gotcha

I'll get you a pass when I get home in three hours (if no one else has by then). I'd do it now but I don't have my PAX registration number on me and I want to make sure it gets added to my existing order.

College had tons of gametime because games were more important than Class.
Hell a good 45 minutes in the textbook was worth four classes.
I used to skip class cause I was in the middle of memorizing enemy patterns in TMNT. Fuck that game was hard, the enemies in the Technodrone killed you in a single hit! Bullshit. I won though, then I popped in Predator, shit on that game too.
