This is why kids these days are as dumb as they are, putting video games above an education. A better option for the teacher would've been to flunk the kids who called out sick.

Oh My GOD!!! THEY'RE LEARNING!!!!!!!!!
And also, the only classes I missed were because I was deathly ill... I have an outstanding attendance ethic...

I never called off school because of a game because my mom wouldn't let me hell she wouldn't let me miss school when I came home from a concert at 3:00 am
this is getting quite pathetic and disturbing. especially since it's just goddamn Portal, which is nothing more than an amusing room-escape puzzle game in a pretty package. Not that it's not a good game, but the level of insanity surround the Portal 2 release is completely absurd. I really don't understand how this level of hype built up around this series.
The Portal 2 subforum on Steam's message board has 40 PAGES of new threads since Portal released at midnight. Think about that.

You know what's worse than having to go to school on Portal day?
I came into work at 10:30 this morning which is early since I usually don't start until 6:30, but it's the Easter holidays. So I've missed out on playing Portal today. The thing is my boss came in, saw me, and said "what are you doing here at this time?" I told her that it's early starts during holidays, and she said "Yes but not today as there's a meeting on. Go home and don't come back until 4:30". It was, in fact, 3:00 at this time so I didn't have time to go home and come back. So I spent the hour and a half having some lunch before returning to work.
So no only did I miss out on Portal 2 fun, but also completely needlessly.

I would put 100 bucks down it was the annoying as fuck iphone/itouch grammar correction, the thing is annoying as hell and I always end up rereading everything I type on it for errors like that.Tulks said:
OT: that is awesome. my teachers were never this awesome though....jealous.
Yeah... if your so obsessed with a game that you have to quit your obligations to play it... you might have a problem. I've spent more then a little time avoiding the hype machine and reminding myself... its just a game, there is more important stuff.
Really? Skipping a class just to play some dumb game you can play at any time? Are you fucking kidding me? And from the look of the text, it's probably a college course too, so a bunch of douchebags are wasting time and messing up the schedule of people who paid take that class. ...Yeah, that's totally something to be proud of and cheer for. People need to learn about priorities. Games can wait, educate yourself first.
Well, it was for Science.
I'm going to stop being stupid and give my opinion maturely, now:
Dude, play games when you have time, stop being an impatient twat.
