Theres loads of exam threads, but a quests gotta happen someway! i reckon this has enough discursive value! I have my exams coming up in the next 2 weeks and as a result I'm awesome at contract law, and crap at call of duty. This is not ideal, at giantbomb we are all aware that video game skillz are far more important that academic ones. Im going to have my summer forgetting my revision and getting better at games. Who else is in this situation?

This. I have 3rd year Mech Eng exams coming up. They start just after RDR comes out. I know I should wait a couple of weeks till after my exams to start playing...but I won't.
Exams made me stop playing warhawk for a week or 2 and in that time the clan that we spent 6 months building self destructed. As a result I didn't play it again for 5 months. I'd still rather play games with those guys than any of my current clanmates.

Agree to disagree, my fine sir. I consider my leet Starcraft II plat league skills to be much more important than my grades. Maybe that's because I'm an English major...
Funny, I was just trying to decide what to do because no games are holding my interest and then I came across this thread. I've been working pretty much all day every day for the last 2 weeks and now I get bored of playing any games after about 10 minutes. Sure, I can tell you how the cosmic inflation model solves the horizon and flatness problems and explains the origin of structure in the universe, but what use is that if I can't shoot stuff up in borderlands and grin like a half-wit?
kind of. i think games ruin my exams. i get distracted a lot of times so i go and play. i have english exam tomorrow but i can't study for it since i have to write an essay on something. i get a little bit of both on them
I found it hard to balance gaming with work but as I've gotten older I've put working more as my main priority. I do feel satisfied at points completing work that originally I'd avoid with playing Video Games.
" No more exams. But when I did write them, there was no gaming. It was constantly studying. Engineering Sucks. "
Business major FTW.
I hate profs that give exams. I love the ones that just assign a final project. You'd think the way they preach team work in college that they would abolish exams. Or at least for business majors. My marketing prof must have said team work is important like 59 times this semester.
I agree exams get it the way of gaming. I have a college algebra monday (which is stupid, should have been friday). That could be precious gaming time, for a exam I'll just ace anyways.
o hell yea ! Limits my Gaming alot. an perfect example is on tuesday night i have to study for a part of the Italian regent and i am getting Red Dead Redemption on Tuesday
