How's 2008 HSC students going. I feel its an easy enough question. I know i use to be a game buff, net, console, the works.. but I literally can't play anymore, always feeling like I waste time, which is true. But how about everyone else?

I think playing a game or two once in a while is okay, just to get your mind off the work. But you have to be able to control yourself, because sometimes you could get addicted :p

DotA games once a while, probably one every 4-5 days.

Not really, virtually quite gaming. Oh, maybe some occasional (can't spell) rampaging in GTA :)

HSC although important shouldn't rule your life. It's all about a balance and if games is something you enjoy, make time for it. :)

Where's the "never played games in the first place" option?

Unless some sweet Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation I haven't touched in two years counts? :eek::eek:

Actually I half-assedly played poker online for like two weeks in the last school holidays, there were too many idiots though so I gave up.

EDIT: OMG I lie, I totally still whip out the old Pokemon Gameboy whenever I'm bored as fuck.

I was really depressed because after we moved I couldn't find it, I was really cut, it took me like eight months until I found it... but yeah now it just stays on my desk, perfect way to distract myself from shit boring homework and shit boring phone calls :shy:

yeah i love the original pokemon blue.
yeah i play 10 people poker tournements, where people talk dirty on the chat.
and go all in first hand, so its like 3 people, one with a deep stack.
pointless, unless im playing for like hundreds of dollars.

Civ3, The bane of the HSC. I swear that game can take literally hours of my time and i still feel as if i've accomplished nothing game-wise.

pokemon blue ftw! though I always pick charmander.

what sites do you use? My dad's a poker fanatic and was like "use this one! and this one! and I'll transfer money to you!" but yeah, every game I've been in the people are total tards who don't know what "check" means. it's just infuriating and lame so I stopped playing fairly quickly. :eek:

i play when I want. I.e if I'm not dojng anthing I might play PS2 (I'm not bothering upgrading yet) for an hour or so Friday night, or when I just feel lazy. Haven't played it in several weeks and played it for a bit tonight as i just didn't feel liek studying. Also play a 15 miunte webgame usually when I get home from school to relax.

If they are 'tards' and don't know what 'check' means then would you not win and take all their money and be laughing all the way to the bank?

um, no. It means they raise everytime it's their turn to act, and since I can actually play I assess the odds and presume they actually have a hand. Nine times out of ten, they don't.

seriously, poker is a game that you can only properly play when everyone knows what they're doing. It doesn't pay off to play with idiots, it costs you.
