<p>Hm,
1. have a ****ty laptop so you can't install any games. I couldn't resist and tried to install WoW a while back, but well, I had like 10 frames per second, unplayable... Ahh, I really miss playing, I should try CS.
2. girlfriend</p>
<p>I didn't finish high school, didn't go to class because of gaming, so I basically never studied for my whole life until I went to my CC. That's why studying is fun for me now. Also, I'm working at my CC and I can sometimes do homework while I'm working so it's not too bad.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Professionally? w..t...f?</p>
<p>I was a Software QA Tech III for a couple of different video game companies, working between 12 and 36 hour shifts and averaging 90-100 hrs per week; however, I no longer have the desire to play.</p>
<p>Those of you who are gamers and are planning on coming to Cal, I highly recommend a new sociology class here (soc 167) call "soc of virtual communities" this is the first semester of it being taught at Berkeley kind if as an experiment, but it is going so well that they are expanding funding and will be offering it for the next two years so if you get a chance, check it out. Most of the students in this class are gamers so they have allot in common.</p>
<p>luvtoolearn: Do you have to pay for the class since it's an experiment?</p>
<p>Before CC (High School and earlier):
hours spent gaming a week: 40-50 (hardcore raider)

<p>I used to play a lot when I was younger.. but games these days are getting too high tech and expensive.. </p>
<p>I'm a starcraft fan!</p>
<p>O and Morrowind. That was an awesome game!</p>
<p>3.9 GPA/ Bizecon</p>
<p>lack...
it's part of Berkeley's regular curriculum and get a letter grade so when you pay your regular semester tuition (spring or fall) it covers it...it doesn't cost extra though. The very first time it has been taught anywhere was at Stanford last semester. It's taught by an expert in the field, so he's a fantastic facilitator. You'll learn a lot in his class. There is allot of work though but most of it is utilizing the internet, such as blogging, twitter, wikki's,forums... lately we have been doing allot of stuff in second life so it's interesting having assignments in second life...really fun though.</p>
<p>hours spent gaming a week: used to be 50+ (over 200 days /played). Now I only log in for a few hours per week...</p>
