Not taking a break from the game, but...

Just had my first Master's degree class this evening, and this is what it was like:

"Ok, you got 4 books for textbooks... Go home, read 3 chapters from each, look through this list of 100 possible thesis topics, pick one, find an article on it, read it, write a paper on that, go to this website: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/contents.php, memorize that, write a paper in APA format on Research Methods Terminology based on that website, and find a game developer that you'd like to write about and do research on him and write a biography on him."

"Oh, and that's partially due by tonight at 1am, and the other portion is due day after tomorrow."


I don't plan on actually taking a break from gaming (least of all City of Heroes), but after today's wakeup call, I doubt you'll see me in the game much, and if you do, it'll probably be at really weird times...lol

I should be done in a year though, and then hopefully I'll be able to finish pursuing my dream by getting a job in the gaming industry!

Congrats.

I've wanted to go back for my Masters, but I quite simply don't have the patience for it. Nor the desire to cut back on my busy (and well-paying) work schedule.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Oh well. At least we got to duo the ITF before your kind of but not really hiatus.

I wish you all the best, AlienOne. A Masters is no easy feat, so you'll have some work cut out for you. I hope you still find your time to relax in game some days.

Baha, indeed. Alien and I did it very sporadically at about one in the morning the other night. We started it off by derping it and coincidentally doing the first mission on +3. It wasn't planned at all and no proper strategy was formulated... We ended up using lore, and I hit Rom in the face with some envenomed daggers, so no bragging ensued. It was still fun though- I have my Brute on Virtue, so send me a tell next time you're on and you feel like doing something.
