:laugh: I play Europa Universalis III in the campus library. I just recently found my Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun disks so i'll be playing that during my free time now too.

I'm having a hard time with one class this semester. There is just too much information to cover on those tests.

Why school's fun again? Cause real life svcks.

We used to play some text based MMO's sort of like Ogame when I was in school, except you built armys of Dwarves/Elves/Humans/Gnomes/Undead instead. We would play various flash games too.

Then there was the golden god of school gaming: Oregon Trail!

I played Quake 2 with my friends back in elementary school, good times.


But nowadays it is usually like this:

"Hey guys! it is Friday again! lets go into the gamelab and play some games! Do we play some L4D/SC2 again? Or shold we play some of those new games with PS3, XBox 360 and Wii?"

Yeah, we got several modern consoles with all of those Bells and whistles they come with. One of the many advantages what we get for studying game development.

Branch out a bit man, go try and meet some new friends, meet a girl, play some basketball or other sports outside, gaming is a really small part of life and when you get older, you'll realize how unimportant it is.

Those are the worst weeks.

Final exams and whatnot.

EDIT: Also, my school uses macs, so gaming is limited.

We had Counter Strike (version 1.0, oh yeah, drivable tank on cs_seige) on the computers at intermediate school, and everyone would go play at lunch.

At college (secondary school) we had Tribes 2 in the labs, and you could pay a dollar to play it at lunch time. Then some parent complained and they got rid of it :rolleyes:

Unless you're a senior. We don't do anything lol. Six Flags, senior brunch, and other senior activities. So awesome.

Hehe, Warcraft 3 was popular all around high school for about a semester until they finally did something about it.

Me and a buddy ran show because very few people actually knew how to play but even when every one got into it, we still dominated both 2v2v2v2 and Footies

Why write script in computer science when you can crush your classmates?

Exactly!

Don't have exams for the next 2 years, most girls in my school don't speak English, I play sports in and out of school (AFL and Rugby) and I've got lots of friends.

You really should pay attention in CISCO classes, if you′re young like me with a teacher as old as mine it really makes shifting through all the outdated parts faster.

Me: *Notices teacher skipped going over a fourth of the chapter*
Me: "Teacher, why are we skipping these sections ?"
Teacher: "You mean those sections that went outdated back before you were even an idea ? Pff they′re not important."

My high school years were 1996-2000.

We had a library with maybe 30 computers for the HS, and just about all the time they were taken up by a large group of friends who played MUDs, Doom, Rise of the Triads, Duke Nukem 3D, and so on. By my sophomore year they locked down the computers with crappy Windows software, only allowing specific programs to launch. No problem, we just used Netscape's (famous browser at the time) telnet command locally to execute our games like running a command line. They couldn't figure out why their "shield" wasn't working.

They lightened up about it for a while but then just started kicking people off, so the only fun we could have was in classrooms that had a large number of computers.

School mostly wasn't fun for me because the teachers were morons attempting social engineering which I caught into quickly and fought against, but I gotta say it was fun doing all that stuff relating to computers when I had the free time.

Ahh nostalgia. Back in the day, we were able to pay a dollar to get into the computer room and we'd all play co-op Doom. Was good times.

Last year of school, Me and my friends played CoD4 every chance we had. It made school not as dreadful.

School is a tool used to get you to accept control.

So no, I never got any enjoyment out of school. Now that I'm in college, my grades have shot up, I'm wanting to go to school, and I enjoy my time there. Why? Because I'm not being monitored constantly. I'm not going to a prison in all but name.

All, I'm never there for more than 3 hours.

School and fun do not belong in the same sentence.

There's nothing else for me to say about it.

The people that do that at mine all smell of BO and sit under the stairs. If they're not playing on their laptops, they'll be playing something I grew out of when i was 10 like Yu-Gi-Oh or something.

Haha that's exactly how it was when I was in high school, or skinny kids hyped up on monster screaming at each other playing CoD in the graphics room. I'm not saying every gamer was like this, just by doing that you attached a stigma to yourself, and most of those people who gamed in my experience were pretty rude. I'm kinda glad I didn't spend all my time gaming in school because I learned how awesome the world can be without games.

Bypassing webwasher on the computers at school and playing some counter strike source for like 15 minutes before the computer crashes.

I used to draw during class.
I failed gymnasium for that.
Now I live on welfare.
- "The more you know~~!"

I don't just play games at school, I'm the best in AFL in my year group and my year group is pretty darn big, roughly 200 students. I only game when where're in French or free time in IT.

Pshaw, 200? My first high school had 900 kids. Second one? 7,000. Third one? 1,200 the first year, then 4,000 the second year I was there.

Divide that by four and you have my year groups.

This was exactly my computer science class in 12th grade. The teacher from the year before left and we only got what was basically a fill-in for the year. Young teacher who didn't care what we did in that class as long as we worked on some programs, maybe. The class was basically us 12 playing NES, SNES,Genesis emulators for the entire year. Road Rash and Zombies Ate My Neighbors was relevant again. It was a great time. Thinking about dropping in on that class in the next coming weeks. Catch up with some of the kids who were a year below me. Everyone in that class was pretty cool.

Our school had http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80 model II, and three favored model III's.



What games??

Some of my friends recently started playing Pokémon. :tongue:
