What games made you fail in school /v/ ?
They've only made me too sick to go to school.
Maplestory mad the drop out of highschool twice.
No regrets
>>339864112
WoW. Nights of raiding and grinding out honor/conquest on bgs and arenas. Managed to finish the school but with much lower grades than I could.At least I managed to fix myself later.
I dropped out of college so I'd have more time to practice for quakeworld clan matches
>>339864531
>conquest points

People that left high school 2/3 years ago are old enough to post here
>>339864531
WoW for me too. I picked myself up later on but still.
At least I made a few good friends so it was totally worth the academic loss
>implying I wasn't an honor student
Wasn't worth it.
>>339865136
>conquest points came out with cataclysm in 2010
holy shit im getting old what the fuck it feels like yesterday
Halo 3
>>339864112
A mix of WoW and Star Wars Battlefront 1&2.
I did well on tests but didn't do a scrap of homework.
>>339864869
It was in the high school, anon. I'm not underage.
>>339865482
>Those late nights in the customs
Those were the days senpai
>>339864112
If you fail American HS you are dumb as shit. I put zero effort in and I am dumb as shit and the lowest I got were Cs but mostly As and Bs
>>339864531
WoW and Runescape before it basically killed my social life outside of the internet.
>tfw trying to convince the librarian to keep letting me play RS during study hall saying it teaches survival skills like lighting a fire
>some faggot on my screen is making a swastika out of campfires but the dumbass librarian doesn't notice
>tfw putting WoW on an external hard drive and playing it on the college computers after finishing classwork
>tfw my professor played too and we'd shoot the shit after class
WoW. Dropped out of freshman year because I spent all nightfucking roleplaying and dicking around on new alts all the time. I wasn't even making progress in-game but I loved it.
Spent every day in class sleeping or playing my PSP. Ended up just not going anymore before the first semester was even over, had straight Fs.
all of them
I was in special ed
Call of Duty 4. I would miss school all the time to play it and my grades started getting bad because of it. Ended up with almost 30 days played on it and don't regret a second of it It was the most fun I ever had in an online game. Now I'm out of college and have a job and rarely play games aside from my vita when I'm watching tv.
>>339864112
Depression
>>339865875
>Didn't even hand in my assignments most of the time
>Still made it through with a B
What the fuck?
The game of love. I regret ever investing time into 3D. I was a normie then so you cant blame me. I cant believe that was 15 years ago, my god im getting old.
>>339866181
This and depression
And I never liked going because I never liked the teachers
Quake TF came close.
Failing because of vidya is fucking stupid.
Skipped high school seniors field day and prom so I can spend all day playing Neverwinter Nights I and II.
Glad I skipped prom. Heard it was a SJWs wetdream and the King and Queen were chosen by a paper in a hat.
>>339866472
American high schools are really that easy. We have shit like "No Child Left Behind" to thank for that - literally lowering our standards into shit so niggers can scrape by (and still fail/drop out the majority of the time) and schools can keep getting their government funding for meeting their passing quota.
This country's seriously fucked.
FFXI. Didn't even finish hs cause if it.

I wanted to be pro!

It really is the easiest thing in the world unless you're actually mentally retarded. Looking back at it I could have been number 1 in my class so easily. Everything I took in college was tenfold more difficult and I learned so much more and got As in everything.
Completely failed psychology because I would spend my time skipping 1st period staying home going through my Half Life 2/Fan-Missions phase. I think I only attended the class once a week.
Passed only because the teacher told me she was going to give me a passing grade if did good on the major final paper since I was going to graduate that year.
D-
>>339866181
I wasn't in special ed, but at the end of the school day I was put in a room with all the other autistic kids where we would sit at a table and be autistic together. We were supposed to talk about our problems or something like that. We had board games.
To answer OP's question, I never flunked out because of vidya but it has impacted my grades negatively in the past.
Maplestory
>>339866249
>30 days

2000 hours over the course of 6 years, god I loved that game

Mental health program?
The Arkham games are making me fail uni. I just love those fucking games, and i'm obsessed with doing a perfect run in order.
But i'm starting to overcome, and i should, because my future career is the only thing with value i have.
>high school loans out laptops to each student
>they're shit but can emulate stuff at least
>have one class senior year where the teacher actually lets people use them (usually you're only allowed to use them for specific assignments or to help you doing homework at home and the like)
>just spend all class emulating super metroid, final fantasy 4, etc. for the entire semester
>got a D- because I paid literally zero attention
I also had two study halls that year (well one, but the other was a drivers ed class and 75% of the time it amounted to just a study hall anyway) and I did the same shit there so it probably didn't help.
>>339864112
runescape
Runescape.

it must be subliminal programming
the yoga agenda is on the rise, but why?
>did fuck all in school
>still graduated with a 3.7 GPA
Feels good
>>339868052
Looking back, I think that's what it was. It honestly didn't help much, but it was nice having part of the day free.
>>339866428
this
Diablo 2 and then hl2/ counter strike sauce. Only managed to get a job because a family member got me in. Making more money then all my friends who went college though.
>>339864112
Runescape, Skyrim, Dark Souls, various grand strategy games.
Still made it to an average college, I just could have done so much more when I look back.
>>339868424
Yeah, I fucking highly doubt that.
>>339866137
I had straight Fs and dropped out because of WoW too, anon.
>tfw your GPA starts with a decimal
Everquest.
>>339864112
>that guy in school who hated you for no reason
>>339867089
NCLB didn't lower the standards. It made it so that schools HAD to lower the standards or risk getting closed down because it left no leeway for schools that were poor and had students with more needs.
Are you actually retarded? I went to school in the NCLB era, but damn, your special ed program must have had all the budget cuts.
>>339867341
>>339865875
>Straight Fs because I couldn't be asked to do any homework
>Always passed tests
>Dropped out and got a GED at 16
I don't think "dumb as shit" applies to people that have no drive to be there. High School was a waste of time and I'm glad I got out early.
>>339866181

>>339864112

high school was easy as shit
now if we're talking about college, also none, depression made me fail college

Scania/Brea were the only good servers.
>>339868739
it's more likely than you think
I got real burnt out in high school but had to be there because of cultural norms or whatever the fuck. When teachers were giving notes, I would act like I was paying attention while I got some homework done, and that would be the only homework I'd ever get done, for the sake of avoiding detention.
I got top score on AP calc test and graduated Summa Cumme Laude
World of Warcraft.
Just kidding. Every time I studied I ended up doing shit in my exam. Any exam I winged I got the best grades on.
>>339864112
tf2 is the reason I got Cs and Ds instead of my predicted As and Bs. It's also the reason I didn't go to prom.
>tfw missed like 40 days my senior year because I didn't want to be there and had to make most of them up to graduate
I got all A's and B's it was great.
Failed and dropped Uni because of these games. Was heavily deep into the multiplayer of these two games and sometimes would go into class with no work whatsoever cause I'd spend all night playing either of these games.
Shit man there were days when I wouldn't even attend class and just go to the nearby Barnes and Noble and read Conan comics all day.
For some reason, still had a 2.5 GPA. But dad made me drop out because he was going to refuse to pay my tuition.
International Business was such a shitty degree to be honest anyway, especially coming from a knockoff business school.
Its been 6 years since and I still haven't decided to go back to school and still haven't gotten down to paying the meager one thousand dollar loan left to be paid. Guess I'm staying NEET for life.
I have never failed a course or willingly skipped a single class.
>>339864112
Saints Row and RuneScape, only I didn't fail, just fell behind. Made it all up in the three weeks of "it's your last chance to catch up" week though. Really don't see the point of school when a couple of books at the end of the year tells you everything you need to be considered "smart" by grade standards.
>>339864112
all the games, i hated school and prefered to do anything except study.
>>339869524
damn and I thought I was bad for letting it make me fail one of my courses in college
you missed out unless you didn't have friends or anything man
>>339869589
I got Warcraft 3 when I started high school and it was my first proper PC game, it made me skip homework a lot, now dota 2 is ruining my life because its the only thing close to something as great as Warcraft 3 that I can find
>>339870138
chill out homie
shut the computer down and go outside, it will be there when you get backit's not as good as wc3 anyways
Playing/Modding Doom ate up a ton of my time, enough for me to fail a few classes. No regrets tho
runescape
I fell behind in History because I was shiny-hunting on my DS under my desk.
>>339869589
>People like this actually exist..
I was heavily into WoW when I was in college, but still god damnit; don't you get that anxious feeling when you haven't done a damn thing for your class?? I didn't always produce the best work because I was gaming a lot, but it was always there
>>339869117
It pissed me off that all it took to get an A in high school is complete half a page of homework and turn it in on time. Could literally fail every test/quiz and still make an A in the class.
>>339870646
good
they teach false history anyways
>>339870786
I would, but I'd only get those feelings when I'd be resting in my bed and reflecting the day. I would think to myself how much of a disappoint I was, how fucking stupid I was acting in regards to my classes, how I was going to be a bum for the rest of my life, and how selfish I was acting while my parents were helping pay my tuition.
But for some reason, when I woke up the next morning, the thoughts would fly above my head and I'd just say to myself fuck it who gives a shit.
>>339864112
Shattered Galaxy
Goldeneye
C&C Renegade
Final Fantasy 9
12k hours ain't no thang
>>339869589
>tfw friends with basically everyone in the school but not good friends enough to be considered a part of the core group
>>339870786
>>339871518
To be honest though, I'd probably be much more different now if I went back to school and would probably "try". I took one of my sister's online courses since she was taking 5 classes at a time and told me to take one for her. I felt the anxiety you was talking about. Matured a lot since then. Being a NEET is good and all, but when you see others around you succeeding, you feel that worthlessness hitting you.
>>339864112
Didn't fail high school, got by with mostly A grades simply because most of the time spent at school is a fucking waste of time.
All the games I played during my school years were action games and RPGs, nothing really occupied much of my time besides some multiplayer shooters like Jedi Outcast and Soldier of Fortune II.
Given the pussy ass "equality of outcome / just pass the kids so we get more funding" environment schools have become, all you really need to pass is to do your homework and not skip class. In just about every class, you'd still pass even if you utterly failed each test. I spent most of my time in class just completing the homework for the next day and doodling in notebooks. Had gotten reasonably good (still shit) at drawing as a result, had several books full of nothing but silly story ideas and characters and other dumb shit. Wish I had stuck with drawing after school.
I dropped out of college after a year because US universities are too fucking expensive and their culture of academia is just fucking awful, even more of a waste of time than high school. Got training in welding and have been living comfortably since.
>>339864112
WoW was the fuse.

School is brain-dead easy. Only retards can't meet the curriculum.
Maplestory didn't make me fail school, but it did make me fail at having a social life.

Still playing osrs now. No regrets

>>339864112
Doom.
The original.
Didn't really affect quality of life, guess my generation was the last one to get away with slacking the fuck off.
You poor young bastards. You'll have to put up with the next big depression and world war, then the AI taking any semblance of purpose from your lives.
But you will get to see the Caucasian Backlash.
>>339876630
very painful to look at and I think everyone hopes that it is redesigned
also has some neat stuff in there like the dragon warhammer
The problem with education is that it provides no immediate incentive for the student to learn, only a far-distant future incentive that they always hear about but never see.
>Call of Duty 2 exists
>History teachers still use lecturing to explain WW2 in Algeria
>Battlefield: BC2 exists
>The only part of the Vietnam war we were allowed to learn was the hippie pacifist bullshit
>>339875785
Obviously too sick to learn Inglés.
Battlefield 2142
All the other games aswellI didn't fail tho
>>339864112
When i was way younger i skipped a lot of classes playing batman for the GBC.
Come to think of it i never did beat Mr Freeze
>>339865136

None.
I actually validated my third year in physics today.

>>339864112
Runescape and Cod I ended up failing all my classes freshman and sophmore and still graduated. Thank god I didn't drop out.
A friend of mine literally had all aspects of his life destroyed due to his wow addiction.
Halo 2 and 3. Also WoW and Oblivion.
>>339878259
Dude, it has pretty much ruined my life. I've played off and on for the past 12 years. Why can't I let go?
>>339878681
Embrace oblivion, anon. That is our only path to salvation is to accept that we can't ever be free
eudemons online. a
Never failed an year but it made my grades sink to the point were I was barely passing my classes in high school.
6 year Planetside 1 addiction saw me nearly fail high school
I played the shit out of wow and cs1.6 and source.
But it was really maplestory that did me in. I had 5k hours on xfire after like 4 years and even more after that because everyone stopped using xfire.
I've never played a game that was so fucking addicting. At the time, max level was unachievable even to hackers, account sharers, and supposed friends of GMs.
>tfw funded a dexless page after pin cracking some level 9x sin that had his stats all wrong

>"Anon come to this party this weekend and get drunk it'll be fun"
>"Can't I'm busy with so and so"

I quit for a while in 11th grade, which was a mistake because social life in high school is a waste of time and all your friends change when they become adults, I'd have been happier if I just kept playing.
>>339864112
Lego Batman 3 made me drop out of college.
I'm so serious.
>>339864112
Counter-Strike from 1999-2005 then World of Warcraft from 2004 as well since Counter-Strike Source ruined the game
messed up all of my high school years for sure
Dota made me fail my social life.

I will never understand how people have trouble with high school. All subjects are easy as shit, theres no excuse to fail unless your life is seriously fucked up.
>>339864112
I didn't fail high school, but I was on the verge of a breakdown and got out of it early. I did drop out of college. The name of the game that destroyed my life is Social Anxiety.

I made the mistake of going to a very prestigious/well off high school with high standards. For four years I was caught between vidya and doing shitty, long worksheets. I still only graduated with a 3.0 and did bad on a lot of tests. Reading this thread makes me feel like a fucking retard
>pulled off a 2100 SAT score
>best ACE (Arizona state testing) scores in my school for all subjects
>dropped out with a 2.1 GPA
I had absolutely no drive to work. Mostly playing MonsterHunter, though there wasn't any one game I'd attribute to me dropping out.
>>339882484
whoa, is there anything more on that hot fox chick
A combination of WoW and league of legends made me finish high school with a 1.4 GPA. I stayed up til 3am every night playing and slept during school. Only my high test scores and actually doing my final projects saved me. Still took 2 years of community college to convince my university of choice to take me.
