3 guys all next to each other playing WoW is this normal at all I've never it my entire life seen this. but it did give me the good idea to put SCBW on a flash drive and use it to burn the time I am now from my previous class to my next one. :D:D:D ( I really wanted a certain teacher so I have a 4 hour break in between classes I tend to get things done but 3 1/2 hours of work sometimes burns me out ):D:D:D  | ||

If the kid is smart enough to pass the class without paying attention why does that bother the professor so much? But yeah I see kids playing WoW, SW, SC, etc all the time at school. | ||

I don't think it's normal especially if you consider they could play at home. Dunno if that was the case with the guys in the library, guess they played in between breaks? | ||

Of course, everyone had their finger on the Alt+Tab in case the teacher decided to take a walk around the classroom. But yeah, you should always have CS 1.6 and/or SC:BW in a flash drive in case you and your friends have nothing to do during a class. :D | ||

But if you're busy with gaming you won't recognize him saying something important. Rather watch a stream and check what's going on around you from time to time. The only problem is that it is disrespectful ;( | ||

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

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 | ||

Let me slack off in peace it's someone playing a computer game, with thing blowing up and an irregular pace... it's bound to draw your eye, hense why we notice police cars/emergency vehicles so easily, it's out of the ordinary. sorry, most students don't have the attention span of a god and tend to watch the game instead of focusing for 2 hrs.. which is why professors always say "i don't have people walking around because i don't need to, your peers will be watching you from behind and i'll know who is watching a movie jerking off etc.." | ||

Let me slack off in peace From what i noticed, the people who got distracted by the games when i had lectures were the same who spend their time on facebook and random sites on the internet. Only thing i have found anoying is people who makes noices/Talk silently during the lectures. | ||

Depending on the layout of your classrooms and where you're located you have to see the person playing games when you look to the lecturer. And if your left eye sees explosions every 3s that catches at least some attention. That's annoying as hell for someone with a short concentration span. | ||
