As for college/uni, I've only seen one person playing games in class on a laptop. Games on smartphones are more popular here. | ||

The undergraduate library computer lab is a freaking League of Legends LAN center all day long. | ||

A few at my university play LoL in the food court while wearing furry tails... Atleast they have each other. | ||

Regardless you don't drop someone from a class without warning them and potentially screwing up their semester or worse. | ||

I would never do it because I couldn't play a game without a mouse to save my life. All I play these days is LoL. I think the ammounts of clicks would have me out of the room within five minutes. But it's not that strange. Some people go and just surf on the internet during a lecture. It's not that impossible to pay half attention. If the lecture is incredibly boring it might even prevent you from going into a comatose state. | ||

Where I study there are cafes with free wifi for the students where you can spend your time/don't have to buy anything. It's more comfy there and you don't distract people who want to learn something. But dunno, there where still several people in my classes who played wow all day :/ I wish they'd just shut down the wifi in the lecture rooms cuz 99% of the people using it just surf at failblog/facebook/whatever and distract other students -_- | ||

I never how this could be any more distracting than someone taking notes?? people show up because lots of professors have stupid attendance rules to make up for their inability to hold the attention of the room. That, and the off chance there is something said in class that is important, you are there. | ||

Little bursts of crazy clicking could really bother me. Note: At my uni, there are 2 bitches (pardon the vocab) with really fucking loud ASUS laptops that sound as loud as my god damn razer blackwidow. It's annoying as all hell. | ||

Still don't get people being distracted by it visually though. Why aren't you focusing on your notes, the professor, or some hot gir lin class like a normal person? Weirdos. Let me slack off in peace | ||
