Teacher Cancels Class Because of Portal 2 Launch
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I'm probably one of the only gamers who actually has never called in sick just so that I can play a game before. The only times I've ever called in sick were when I was actually sick, and one time to get out of work so I could hang out with some friends.
Epic teacher win!
I have been known to miss deadlines on occasion when new games have come out. Fortunately my travel laptop isn't capable of running Portal 2 (I know - I just tried ;-) so I won't be able to play until I get home on Sunday...

in case you really want to know. C is the speed of light. 300,000,000 m/sHankMan said:So THAT's what the C stands for!Mackheath said:
It's been bugging me for years.
Well, our school basically shut down when Black Ops came out, I swear at least half the school was missing XD
HAH! I love teachers that do this. He knows the bullshit, everyone is calling in sick so they can play portal. Despite the fact that after the school day is done, THE GAME IS STILL THERE. IT'S NOT LIKE IT WILL DISAPPEAR IF YOU DON'T PLAY IT AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT. Sigh...
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to meet up with GlaDOS... Not sure what will happen next.

Last time I skipped school it was because I was riding an ambulance 20 minutes before school started... I guess that can't count as skipping class...
I've never understood those who skip school for games. Sure, I've pulled an all-nighter on a school day, but I've always went and contributed as much as I normally do.

Eugh at people "smiling" and being all happy over such a petty thing, you selfish, narrow minded gaming people (sorry but this is genuinely how i see it)¬¬
You do realize that because a minority (gamers) couldn't wait to play, the ENTIRE class had to rescheduled and end at 7 to compensate?
That is seriously not cool, and if it happened in my class it would totally have screwed over quite a few people who need to get to jobs/kids after, and such rescheduling is a nightmare for them, usually forcing them to miss the lecuture all together (and not because they just wanna play a game).
Generic gamer covers other negatives so ain't touching those, but this seriously isn't something to cheer about, if anything this is the kinda thing that make us seem like total douschebags to non gamers.
Edit: Was this in a school? Kinda assumed from the picture it was a lecturer posting to his students.
If this took place in a school, disregard all what I said.
If this applies in a uni, then what I said applies (you might not be at school by choice but this is not the case for uni, messing with other people's studies just ain't cool)

I like how nothing got postponed, leaving the students with the need to get their work done, just without the benefit of a day of class.
That teacher is crafty!

Last time I was too "sick" for school was Dead Space 2. Next one might be about the same time I get, L.a Noire.
