Combined with the post above, the key to success in post-secondary school is time management. Same reason why grades tend to improve when you get a job during college.womfalcs3 said:It seems like the more games I play, the better my grades are.
I'm not kidding. It's been a trend now since 2006. My GPA has increased with the amount of time I spend gaming. This and courses have become considerably harder with time.

As a rabid gamer and someone who occasionally dabbles in narcotics, I have never played videogames under the influence. It just has never happened. That's fucking strange, now that I think about it. Do you guys do this?
Huh.

Wow, really?
Weed + games = best thing ever
A friend of mine has recently started playing Ragnarok for like 8 hours/day. I'm thinking we should have an intervention...
I dunno, whenever I've logged on WoW drunk or high I end up just running around in circles in IF.Nafai1123 said:Wow, really?

I'm not even going to give this the dignity of a well thought out response.I was watching Gothica with this cute asian girl (was probably 16 or 17 at the time) and we were having a nice snugglefest. Suddenly I couldn't help but start thinking about Civ 4. 15 minutes later, I sit up, essentially pushing this cute girl aside, I stand up and my 6-7 friends in the room look at me, the asian girl looks upset. "Sorry, I just gotta play," and I begin to leave. Only one of my friends knew what I was talking about at the time, "are you fucking kidding dude?" The next four hours are spent defending my lands from the Persians.
Were you into competitive FPS games before WaW?isamu said:I don't know about cs, but I'm currently suffering from a very VERY serious and unhealthy addiction to CoD:W@W, which I hear shares similar things to CS that makes it addicting. It's very hard to stop playing CoD Team Death Match
FutureZombie said:You can game hardcore and still get good grades. It's not even difficult. I played WoW 8-15 hours a day and made the Dean's List. As long as you go to class and take notes, you don't have to spend more than 20 minutes studying for a test, and in most classes you don't need to do any of the reading. It's all about showing up to class. And considering most classes are in the morning or afternoon, it's not like there's that much going on online that you're missing by going to class. Really, if you expend any effort at all, it's nearly impossible to fail out.
Oh man, way back when in college my dorm buds and I would smoke out before playing Half Life Deathmatch. All I would hear from my roommate was... "Dude, I can totally hear them trying to sneak up on me..." over and over again. Shit was hilarious.Nafai1123 said:Wow, really?

eso76 said:most embarassing moment...my 5 or 6th birthday party. My parents invited all my classmates and thought of many games we could play, with small prizes for everyone. they were great. Everyone brought presents, but this girl i happened to have a crush on brought me some handheld nintendo videogame. I forgot about everyone else, lost interest in every other present and sat in a corner of the room playing with it all the time. I'm not sure i even noticed when everyone left.
Lately, i had a bad case of addiction to geometry wars 2. So bad i would tell my girlfriend i am coming to sleep right after that last game and instead went on playing for 3 hours. I sometimes found myself wishing for a blackout, since i really couldn't detach from that game otherwise

Mode said:I skipped finals during my senior year of HS to play Counterstrike. ... unfortunately my K/D ratio for that day was 0.1 and I never graduated high school... or went to college... or got a job.... or became a video game champion...
so now, 12 years later I'm thirty and dirty, but I own an Xbox 360 at least...
Will someone plz donate me an HDTV? Anime is being aired in HD now, and my regular TV isn't enough to handle the greatness of Naruto.
LMAO :lolEatChildren said:I took acid and played Rainbow Six: Vegas. It scared the living shit out of me.
Then I played Oblivion and spent a good 20 minutes buying arrows, circling trees, and continuously shooting arrows into them.
Then the mudcrabs scared me.
I slept 3 hours a day for a week because of that game, I was spacy at work but It wasn't a very big deal. Tho I tend to do that for every major jrpg release .dragonlife29 said:Well, most recently with Persona 4 I didn't really shower for a couple days; it was play, sleep, wake up, play, repeat (with food breaks in between).
lolz.
Not joking, unfortunately...but that's what happens when you have free time! The hot shower felt sooooo good, and it's not like I was dirty...maybe a little smelly, though
