Summer ends.

Edo · September 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">In celebration of summer is over..</div>Well people, summer comes to a end, vacations gone, hours of reckless gaming gone, people move to their dorms, people get ready for school, and people get new jobs which kill their lives :I (Im all of the above.)

Anywho, since many people still dont work full time, how will you squeeze as much/little gaming time from school/work? (Game time meaning NS..)

Im curious too, how long does a general match of NS take?

JediYoshi · September 2002

From 15 min to an hour.

But yeah, I'm gonna miss Summer. Entering 6th will kill me. Ah well.

The real summer isn't over though <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

As a student my summer runs on the school system. Thus it will be over on the third. *sigh*

Longtooth · September 2002

I have been in school for 2 weeks....No matter, the quicker it begins the sooner it ends.

Bill · September 2002

My life is currently in hiatus, I don't really have much of anything to do except work on getting things done so I actually have what people like to call a "future". So summer continues on for me. Sadly, most of the joy of it has been sucked out as my girlfriend is back in school, and I don't really see my friends much anymore. *shrug*

Aggy · September 2002

I've been going to school since January :o

And I have exams starting Friday... I might do veeeeeeeery very badly depending on how things go.

Master-Dorn · September 2002

oh man i have the best time since my last school year.

i have finished school this year, and i dont have a real job. but thats not bad, because i can work half time evryday. and i get a real job next year. so i can say: oh lets make vacation now. then i can start workin again and so.... hhaah i get the money without payin the high taxes in germany.

oh this year will be a very cool year.

hmm i can do what i want.

dragonsblade · September 2002

i will miss summer i will be busy with school and trying to get a job so i will miss the forums and ns goodbye all.

Eos · September 2002

I go back to school on the 3rd of September.

[Sarcastic]Oh joy![/Sarcastic]

Maveric · September 2002

pitty NS wasn't out sooner, then we all could've had a nice game or two.

Yup. Just monday is left for me. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

"Now is the winter of our discontent." as Robert Frost would put it. Hmmm, looks like summer release will either be a fall or winter release. Lets all think positive it wont be 2003; spring. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

Unknown · September 2002

I've already been in school for 3 days and already we have a 4-day weekend <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Having school has never affected my game time. I usually play at night anyways. The glare on my screen during the day is too bright so I don't bother playing.

Some_tall_guy · September 2002

Im back on tuesday.... only for an hour the first day though. I'm just really happy that my ###### ### french teacher is still teaching grade 6/7. He gave me a B in french for not colouring in my assignments, and then he told his home room class that "There is one student though who has perfect grammer and pronunciation of his words and is an X-frenchymersion student who only got a B because he doesn't colour his work." Guess whos the only person in his french classes who fit that discription. Me. He almost got fired, so close. I hope I made student coucil...

Battousaix · September 2002

bleh. Because i live in south america, here = winter and i can play games a lot because somehow i dont need to study that much.... i can read things twice and i got it all in my memory....

Thansal1 · September 2002

well I am back at school, finaly got into my dorm and got my onto the network so now I can post again, now I am just waiting for the 3rd (classes start whoo hoo)

Longtooth · September 2002

I have been in for 2 weeks.....I am pretty used to it by now, I have all easy classes this year.

sharpsword6 · September 2002

I hate school even though I have the best teacher. Mr.Frank rom 28. I can't believ how late they are with the game. Thisisn't good. I can't wait untkl the release though.

SentrySteve · September 2002

I still dont understand how they are "late" let alone how "you cannot believe it." Flayra was <b>hoping</b> not guaranteeing it will be out by summer. As for you not believing it is not out "yet." This half life mod is by far the most 1) ground breaking 2) intuitive and 3) time consuming out there that I have seen, in any mod for any game. What has been done in just two years is mind blowing. May I point you over to Hostile Intent. Their mod has been in development for more than four years and HI is just a standard mod. Nothing ground breaking or shocking. Four years. Want me to continue on with the list of mods? If so, just say so and I will. Flayra works on NS full time and, to someone who knows the general time frame of how long it takes things to get done, is making beyond excellent time. When he said he was hoping for a summer release, he meant just that – hoping.

h2o · September 2002

many ppl think becuz of my gaming it ruins my will to work, but thats not true, i just dont want to, thats why i just barely pass each year without having to go to summer school, after i come home i go play some hockey for about 2 hrs then come back and game until 12:30 then i watch conan obrien (w00t) and then sleep, thats a dream life right there

Longtooth · September 2002

Do you dream in commas?

Tzarcon · September 2002

school starts on the fourth for me. I was really looking forward to playing NS entire days at once, and some of my friends will be like "see? I TOLD you it isnt coming out!"
oh well

Kidzelda · September 2002

People.Summer <b>isn't over yet</b>.Flayra's hopes have not been dashed yet.He's got about 3 more weeks <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

JediYoshi · September 2002

Poo, my summer ends in three days.

BLACK_Monkey · September 2002

I have been in school for at least a week now. We have a three day weekend. It is the second day. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Been gaming all day, going up to check here and there, doing junk, go back down and game for another hour, eat lunch, game for half-hour, come up and check here and there, go game for an hour, and so on and so forth. I've been actually enjoying school. I was bored out of my skull. I've been changing my avatar alot, and that is why. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I'm just glad to get out of the house, and day dream during math class. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Kidzelda · September 2002

Well, if you wanna be that pissy about it, my summer ended three weeks ago and I'm not dicouraged from thinking it's <b>still summer</b>. But then, this year is actually easier than last year <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

My college classes don't start until the 18th, so I'm still good. =)

*grumbles about ppl who are in college this year as opposed to high school*

labor day marks the death of summer <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Anywho, I have a pretty slack term, so I dont really think it should affect my gaming besides late night cram sessions on games <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Im still curious on how long a whole match of NS would take <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

There be your answer, give or take 10 min.

Legionnaired · September 2002

Ther've been PT stories of 2 minute games, where both teams decide to rush, and one team totally pwns the other.

Summer ends.
