Getting back on topic from Ken's college woes(poor him), I am not going as I have my dissertation due, yeah I am getting a Ph.D mo-blam!-as!

It's in Comp Sci specifically about Computer Programming, and my "book" is on matricial coding for basic AI. That's the preschool version of its' content. Let's just say I am glad it's almost over ^^.

I will celebrate sometime soon though so if anyone is in the Caltech area(my school obviously) I would be happy and in need of beer. Yoozel please hook me up :D

We don't have tickets but Fallenstar325 and I are hoping to drive up, from Portland, on the Saturday to hang out for a day at least. Hope to see some new and familiar faces!

Hawkeye, I am still heartbroken you blew me off last year, after all we've been through! :(

Baby I'll make up for it, I swear!

I had other things going on last year, disappointed I couldn't see you and everyone else. You should drive up Spud.

I'm down for lunch-time meet-up. Just update the OP a few days before with the date and time so I can make sure I'm not working. It'll be nice to meet the people behind the username.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

My broha and I are game, we're there from Thursday mid-morning to Sunday night. I'm with hawk though, Chip>Qdoba

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

DO IT DO IT DO IT

Also, PM's through the Bungie mobile app seem to be pretty handy for meetups like this.

Two important things to remember:
- Your character is a result of your conduct.
- Sense of humour trumps common sense everytime.

I could do Sunday lunch or Monday breakfast.

Foman and I were takling about choosing a place for a Bungie Community lunch rally. There will be a thread posted right before PAX with a series of rally points where I'll be cruising the convention floor with the Ninjas and making notable stops. Lunch will be one of them, on different days. Stay tuned and stop by one of them. These will not be official events or presentations or anything. I'll be there as a fan, and I would like to meet other fans and take in the same panel or experience the same booth.

Stay tuned.

...And keep this between us.

I know that is a silly thing to say, but we're not going to get any quality time if someone (named Spawn031) tweets a PAX schedule and sends party crashers to our Bungie.net lunch.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

That's a stupid rule.

e: Also, you didn't buy your books from a campus bookstore did you? Amazon bro. You got dat ISBN. Anyway, I don't mean to derail the thread, PM me if you want some solid advice, broham.


MFW most of my books aren't available in Amazon because they're pretty new (3 books).

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

If Deej's plan is for the Bungie community to talk to Deej and his herd of mods, wouldn't it make sense the community would show up? That is who he wanted, members of the community?

How is that crashing the party? lol

Why does Pax have to be during my first week of college?!?!?!?

Maybe next year


First week of college is syllabus week, which means you can totally skip. You'll figure it out when you're older, Skenny.


I also just bought all my OP priced textbooks.

:/

Oh and if you skip the first day, the professors drop you from the course. I don't think the professors would accept PAX as an excuse. But I guess PAX doesn't start my first day.


What college do you go to, because mine did not have that rule. People missed the first week all the time and none of them were forcibly dropped from the courses.

It counted against the attendance policy, but that's nbd.

Join the Bungie Kids Podcast Group!

Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

There's also a PAX 2012 group for discussion for people going to PAX this year. There's already some plans going on in there. Anybody going should join up.
