In Response To: Re: Oh no (Avateur)

: I'd normally agree, but I don't feel like HBO ever died down so quickly after
: a new Halo game's launch. Yes, it always lulled after the launch, but
: within 6-9 months from launch? And not due to people playing it
: constantly? Lol

There's that tournament with $500,000 in prizes, which is spurring weekly playlist updates. Spartan Assault came out a little over 2 weeks ago, and we're a little over 2 weeks away from the Champion's Bundle coming out--which includes a really awesome game type.

And just a few days ago HBO hit 14 posts over 48 hours.

For me personally, I've been working ~50 hours a week on top of trying to keep up with two kids, so I haven't had time for Halo. But last week I was in class training out of town, so I figured I'd bring my Xbox and Forge in my down time at the hotel. No kids, "working" less than 8 hours/day.. ideal circumstances!

So I plugged it up, loaded up Forge Island and.. I turned it off about 15 minutes later. I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't turn my Xbox on the rest of the week, didn't unpack it when I got home this weekend, and didn't even bother bringing it this week. At this point, I might just wait for my Xbox One to show up this Fall before I play another Xbox game.

I just feel done. And I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with work and the kids, instead of stuff like my general displeasure that the Forge community has been seduced by modders or any issues with 343's sustain practices. I mean, Ricochet looks like an awesome game type--the kind of thing that I'd be all over.. tons of Forge possiblities! But I don't know if I'll ever touch it at this point.
