What I don't understand is why do kids stop playing when they go back to school... Guess students don't procrastinate like they used to in my day...
man If I was in school now there'd be about a 0.99% chance of me getting anything productive done. I have a hard enough time when I work from home some days (suppose to be doing work right now).
When I was in school the internet was just starting so there wasn't a whole lot to do with multiplayer besides MUDs which were a major distraction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUDCounterstrike and Team Fortress came along and that was pretty big, but I think I was done with school by that point.
I do remember playing Mechwarrior 2 all night with a budy when we were suppose to be studying for a Spanish Final. I pissed my neighbor off cause it was hooked up to my stereo system blasting on two 12" speakers all night. He knocked on the door around 5 or 6 in the morning and was like, "give it a rest already. I have a final tommorow". I was like "yeah so. we do too".
That is how real gamers roll. none of this I gotta take a break for school shit you little shit bags do nowadays. you may think it is more important to get a higher gpa or have a social life and actually go out and get laid, but truth is that having a high KDR in crpg gets you all the bitches and jobs later on. Put that shit on your resume and your hired.
