I´ve tried to get my friends to watch #100 of Day9 but they refuses. Now i have watched episode 100 like 3 times, and i get emotional every time. I would also want my mom and my friends to see it.
People outside of gaming really dont understand the life of a gamer. And the #100 really shows a life of a gamer

I went to check how many views the day 9 daily had, and I ended up watching 45 minutes of it.
Cheer day
Wishing you well.

Intersting and a nice read. However, I think Sean would not support the idea of taking kids out of school

Can I ask about your "unschooling" ?

Sounds interesting. Brief history of your years 5-x please?



I'm interested in this as well. As someone who was extremely moved by D9D#100 I think it's awesome that it's getting notoriety even among people who aren't avid gamers.

That being said, I think your mom is crazy bro. This quote in particular bothers me: "He learned by gaming, watching television, and figuring things out on his own. My job was to trust his true Self to do the job–to lead him to whatever he needed or would need in life."

This in reference to you (OP), how does this sort of approach fare in developing you for integration into society?




it wasn't ALL from television and gaming, but I did learn a lot from those things. I learned economics from playing World of Warcraft (auctionhouse 101) spelling / vocab / grammar from typing during games, any time I didn't know a word I would look it up because I didn't want to sound dumb. science/history have there respective channels on TV. I still did some work with math books, read some literature etc. but it was rare, and I was still able to graduate highschool 2 years early. The thing that being unschooled has taught me more then anything, is that I can learn something if I WANT to, extremely easily. When I wanted my GED I had no problem studying and getting it.

To answer your main question though, I have basic knowledge in all subjects that are applicable to society, the rest is all about finding what I love to do (which for the time being is cooking) and figuring out the best source of knowledge available to me. I'm applying for a culinary apprenticeship in April, wish me luck! :D

That sounds pretty awesome. TBH, not that much that I learned from high school I'll ever use now or in the future. Most learning really does happen outside of school. The only question I have is, are you still eligible to apply for university/college? Because not having a degree of some sort actually closes off a lot of potential career opportunities out there in today's society.


The GED is basically equivalent to a high school diploma and really isn't too hard to get. My cousin was a HS dropout, got his GED and technically "graduated" high school a year early. I remember looking over his practice test when I was a freshmen in HS and I remember it being pretty easy... this was like 7 years ago though.

Pretty epic we got Mrs. Plott to show up n TL You're truly an inspiration for me when I have kids.

Moms 4 life imo ^___^


Don't rub it in too much, some of us got stuck with real jerks. Showing her d9d#100 however did I think give us a brief moment of understanding (maybe 2-3 hours?). Although it was short, being able to produce any sort of connection between me and her was a stunning accomplishment, so thanks again for that. <3

btw thanks again for signing my license plate at Blizzcon, freakin sweet! <3 <3

I would have to disagree with your mother on certain points.

Developing one's memory (through memorization of miscellaneous information) is important, even nowadays, even if we have calculators, Wikipedia, and electronic dictionaries. An engineer needs to know his or her multiplication table, a journalist needs to know his or her irregular verbs and synonyms. There is no time to look it up, there are more important things to do. The perfect time to learn all this is in school, and, yes, through boring repetition. In some ways, school is supposed to be tiresome and monotonous. In other ways, it should be fun and intellectually challenging.
You and whose 200/200 fully upgraded army?
