RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

THQ hires a prostitute called Crytek

http://geek.pikimal.com/2011/09/20/home ... crytek-uk/
Quote:Who here remembers Homefront? Remember Homefront? It came out earlier
this year to lukewarm reviews, but went on to be somewhat commercially successful,
thanks largely to a highly effective marketing campaign.
Whether you remember it or not, THQ has announced that the sequel is in the works and will be developed by Crytek UK.
This means that the game will also be utilizing the CryEngine, which is perhaps just what the franchise
needs to be considered the same level as Battlefield and Modern Warfare.

Crytek UK, or Free Radical Design as it was formerly known, is a Nottingham based studio. Founded by Dr. David Doak,
as well as an assortment of developers from Rare that worked on both Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for the N64, the studio is most
famous for creating the brilliant TimeSplitter series. Eventually, they went into administration after the fiasco that was Haze (shudders),
while at work on the doomed Star Wars: Battlefront 3.


They were later bought out by Crytek to become Crytek UK, and their most recent work was on the multiplayer component for Crysis 2.
It has been rumored that the studio was also working on TimeSplitters 4 for the next generation batch of consoles.

As for Homefront, I had the pleasure of renting it a couple of months ago. Although the entire premise of it was
pants-on-head stupid (and all the American patriotic sentiment was a bit lost on this mild-mannered British person),
it had its heart in the right place and managed to provide an afternoon’s worth of modern combat fun.
Clearly, THQ are looking to promote Homefront as a franchise that can stand comfortably upon its own two feet
among the myriad shooters it clones. Spare a thought for the original development team Kaos Studios,
who were shut down by THQ mere months after the first game’s release.

Lets hope Homefront 2 lives up to its awesome pedigree, it will be a CRYing shame otherwise…

Homefront 2 is set for release anytime in the financial year of 2014 (between April 2013 – March 2014).

Every person whos ever interviewed Crytek since 2008: So WHEN are you going to make Timesplitters 4? PLEASE MAKE IT PLEASE!!
Crytek: Well we've been think about this for 3 years, and we've made our decision. WERE MAKING HOMEFRONT 2 INSTEAD, y'know the sequel to that game that EVERYONE liked!
