Question about "Area 51"
I have wanted to ask about this for awhile now in the level "area 51" the par time is 4:20 is this just a coincidence.
So I guess my question is are you guys smokers or something .
I just wanted to know because I always thought it was funny.

4:20 is a time a bunch of school kids would meet after school to smoke up together. It is now a famous time and date to smoke on.
Allot of programs and games seem to do this and I think its funny that smokers always put that stuff there because only other smokers get it.

OK, let's be more blunt. It's coincidence.

I haven't heard "4:20" since high school.

All the douche bag druggies would yell it after school.
