Head_Hunter Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Yes, playing games have caused me missing out on a planned events on several occasions notably on a party which I scheduled to go with friends. And also arriving late during a college exam. I arrived late to my exam due to the fact, I was playing with bitterness fueled by series of battle losses which occured while I was playing a video game titled: 'Pay day 2. Have you missed out on a planned event before due to your involvement playing games? Edited November 12, 2021 by Head_Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I never arrived late before simply because of playing games. But I've been penalized due to gaming during learning period at my college school, and my device was held for the period of 10 days before I got it back.

They really took your laptop in College!? That is weird and over the top. This is something that one would expect to happen in primary school not college.

Head_Hunter Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 It's weird, but it happens in the higher institutions especially when you're operating your device while the lecturer is in the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point buddy, but the issue occured why the lecturer was in the class, that's why the case worsened for me. I was simply using it to interact in an online community like this one, and my lecturer caught me by surprise and collected my mobile phone.

Heatman Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 When I was still in college, I can't really count how much classes I have missed as a result of coming late to class as a result being delayed with playing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Even now that I'm college, video games are distraction to me education career. I've seen my phone, PC ceased by my course lecturers due to the fact I'm always playing and accessing the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Internet in general had that effect on me. But not a lot these days. I make sure to give some time slots these days. But apart from that I make sure to not fall for this much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something that's very common when I was still a teenager but as I grew older, I learnt how to manage my priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Yep - when I was a teen, I'd be waiting on my friends to get ready for an event and I just start gaming to pass the time and then I just lose track of time and before I know it, I have to rushing out of my house to get to the destination because I'm now late.

Empire Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I never had that happen to me, I get out and go right after if I was or into the gaming moment. But while going to the event my minde is not in place 😜 Meaning still in gaming mode, that's the worse part more then anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teenagers are well known for that act and it's almost impossible to stop them from doing that even till today generation of kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
