Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

So that's a no go for tonight? Next Tues is probably out too, because it's BF3 release day. If anybody changes their mind, I can fire up the server. But three is just too few, methinks.

Also, r2, I'd be interested in your reading list if that's not too weird.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I should be able to play tonight if anyone is interested, but don't fire it up just for me. My nights are freed up now that the Tigers are eliminated from the postseason.

I really don't have any room in my budget for new games right now, so Batman:AC, BF3, and Uncharted 3 are going to have to wait (unless maybe Sony puts UC3 up on sonyrewards.com, I should have enough rewards points to get a game after that set of tires I just put on my Sony Card). So I may just dive back into BFBC2 (which I haven't played in a long while) for a bit. I may also be messing around with the mutiplayer on Uncharted 2 soon, if anyones interested in digging that out.

If you see any of us on BFBC2, feel free to join our squads.

Sure thing OG, are you in education? I’d be interested in what you think of these people and if you have read any of these books.

We started with Neil Postman’s The End of Education, which I liked, but I felt like it was a lot to digest in a week, over message boards for my introduction into education classes… along with that we read the Heritage foundation’s Parents’ guide to educational reform (http://site.heritage.org/research/ed...Reform-web.pdf) and the No Child Left Behind Toolkit (http://www2.ed.gov/teachers/nclbguid...rs-toolkit.pdf).

Then we read Donaldo Macedo’s Literacies of Power: What American Are not allowed to Know. That was hard to get through…we spent an entire week reading the forwards where all of his friends sucked his dick for 30 pages…the book itself was interesting, but this guy is angry at some teacher in the past and it shows. I would say his book was really interesting, but not at all enjoyable.

The last 2 weeks we have been reading D.B. Tyack, seeking common ground….each week we have to post our 500+ word reactions to 2 of the 15 questions the professor posts, and then post AT LEAST one ~100 word response to each of the other 10 group members’ responses…it’s killing me.

Next we are reading J. Kozol, Shame of the Nation: the restoration of apartheid schooling in America and after that we read K. Olson, Wounded by School: Recapturing the joy in learning and standing up to old school culture.

This teacher doesn’t answer emails and has never commented on any of our posts…it is super frustrating. They did just bring on another professor to help her, who has been answering questions we had, but we are 6 weeks in at this point.

Good to hear.
In the last few weeks of August, there was a big push at work where I was doing paperwork all night to get everything in, then I started classes in the fall...one of which was online. I have never taken an online class before, but it has been brutal, I should have just taken the in person option, but I figured, how hard could a class in the Sociology of Education be?

Fuck that...for the last 6-weeks, all I do is read thick, post-constructionalist theory on education...which I barely understand and then have to answer questions and discuss with people who are in that program and are super passionate about it...it is fucking killing me. I can't relax enough to set a night aside to play right now.
I'd rather drag my sack through broken glass and sprinkle lemon juice on it.
Once classes are done, I’ll be back. I’m not taking classes in the spring at all, because my wife is pregnant and due in March…I guess we will see how that affects my VG time, but if I have a night (or nights) set aside, my wife will be cool with it.
Big congrats.
I’m still planning on buying BF3 and MW3 and I’ll definitely be down for Warhawk when people play, but I’m going to wait on Starhawk to see if it catches on.
same here not same here - Starhawk looks too tempting to pass up - especially since there is also a single player story that at least looks interesting to me.

I'm likely in for Starhawk regardless...and already preordered BF3.

My interest in MW3 is somewhere between and

So what you're saying is, there is a chance...

Like, it's 2am, you've been drinking a bit, and you really haven't played a video game in a while...yawmush already took BF3 to his room, cruz is making his move on Starhawk, and Slider has been all over both Warhawk and BF2 and it looks like they are down for a threesome...and there you are thinking, looks like I'm playing Gameboy tonight...then you see MW3 sitting there and no one's playing. I know what you're thinking, "man, I have dogged that thing to my friends, but no one has to know...I just play it a little and then fall asleep." But trust me, people always find out. When cruz coomes into your room the next morning, you tey to convince him that you were just looking at the manual and never played the game at all, but we will all know better. Yep, we will know better...

Just call me Checkers baby, we don't have to tell our friends about it. It'll just be our secret. Ahh, don't worry, BF3 and Starhawk don't mean anything to me baby. You know I've had my eye on you.

You seem so hurt / angry.

Show me on the doll where Activision touched you.

There was a limited edition promo code for early access to the Starhawk multiplayer beta inside my Uncharted 3 box.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I won't be able to make it until 10:00 EST. I will be home all night Wednesday though, if there are enough people who can make it then.

This week might be a rough one for me, but I'll do my best to make an appearance if you guys work something out.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I'd like to have one last hurrah and probably call it until Starhawk comes out. If it has to wait a week to get organized, I'm cool with that.

Lots of catching up to do anyway.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Lets get a bit a bit more organised for one or two last hurrahs for Warhawk. I won't make it this week - I'll be consumed by MW3 for the next couple of days. but I will set it aside for a bit to jump into some BF3.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Are we playing tomorrow night or are we logging back into BF3 and lamenting the lack of Warhawk for another week?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Given the option, I will always pick BC2 over BF3, but yeah, I think everybody's moved on.

I think best case we're looking at 4-6 people, which just isn't enough. It's definitely a far cry from our peak of 10-15.
