Ever Skipped school or work to go videogame shopping?

[Sion]

I know tomorrow that i am skipping school (I have tomorrow off from work) to go Classic Videogame shopping ALL DAY.

[Aussie2B]

Haha, absolutely. My local GameStop is on the same street as the bus I have to ride to college. Temptation often gets the better of me. :P

[Crush Crawfish]

Umm.....I once skipped religion class and bought Adventure ISland 2 and Bugs Bunny crazy castle 2 for my B&W gameboy. That was a long time ago.
........Does this make me a bad person?

Once, I left my GBA SP with FFTA in it at the arcade (I was playing DDR) and the arcade then closed. The next morning, I skipped two classes (due to the length of the drive) to be there when the store opened and retrieve it. As long as I was there, I played a couple Onis on the machine, too.

from K-12th grade, i only missed 3 days of school and all were bc i was sick and i did not go shopping or anything. as for college, freshman year i skipped quite a few classes, mostly to sleep, none to game. this year, i only missed a few classes and mostly just bc i knew we werent doing anything in them anyway. i guess that makes me a loser, but i dont skip school to much.

The closest I've ever come was one day in my senior year of high school, skipping my last class with a friend. We went to Game Crazy and played games for about half an hour. Didn't buy anything though.

I used to always skip school back in the day to play my games, I especially would always order used games threw mail order since it was cheaper back in the day well I got so good of guessing when they would come in that on the day I was expecting to get it I would skip school since my parents worked in the day and I would usually let a few of my buddies hang out with me and we would just be hanging out playing nes games till whatever game I ordered came in and it was pure gaming glory. I used to overdue it because the truent officer would always come knocking at the door and he knew I was home with all the other guys because he would just scream from the door I hear you guys you better come out , Well this went on for months untill I guess he got fed up and decided to pay my folks a visit on SATURDAY HIS DAY OFF, Well soon after that my Ditching days were over for a while that was untill I got to highschool.....LMAO then it was all about comic and arcades and trips to funco land for neo geo games then of course there was the occasional rave or daytime Or trip to the beach with the local school hoochies. JOY........


Thanks

Saldy all the time now that Im in collage. But thanks to my laptop and emulation I play games at work too! Woah I think i have an addiction. Nah Ill get my stuff together next semester.

More than once i skip college for videogame shopping. But that's not a big problem here, most of the time we work with groups of students so i can arange something to go on videogame hunting with my mate

I've called in "sick" to work a couple times to stay home and play games and/or go shopping.

If and when Doom 3 is released I'm sure I won't be at work either.

[Oobgarm]

I've never called off from school to game or shop for games, but I have missed classes as a result of gaming too late the night before. Thank you, Goldeneye. Perfect attendance through High School, then when college hit, I missed a lot.

Never missed work on account of videogames, though. I've turned down offers to come in on my day off so I can stay home and play games, does that count?

[QBert]

OH yeah! Grade 9 mostly. The arcade(best in Grande Prairie) was real close to our school and more times than not we would go there for lunch....and not come back. I miss that arcade. That's where I played Halleys Comet, before I bought it.
As for skipping to buy games? Oh it happened alright, I used to work in a games store when I was 15. Skipped school to go to work...errr play.

there actually was no sarcasm meant. what you did was awesome. I am sorry if it sounded like sarcasm

I've gone game shopping while at work. One day I had to drive to an OfficeMax or something that was right around the corner from a local game store. So, I dropped in for a few minutes.
There is also a Gamestop on the way to a trophy shop I have to go to once a month or so for work, and I will stop in there if the traffic is light. Nothing like getting paid to further your hobby.

I've never skipped work to look for games. I have had a few extended lunch breaks though. I usually hit an EB Games nearby on Fridays. I did leave work once for about 40 minutes to pick up some games that were being held for me at a thrift store.

now school... well college specifically, I skipped a lot of classes mostly for drinking or playing hacky sack.

As a matter of fact I am taking off work Monday and going hunting for games. Of course I have so many sick and vaction days in my account I have to start taking them......
