Gaming in college. What's it like?
- Thread starter boarder542
- Start date
I knew my college roommate since Middle School. I was more of a console gamer than he was, but I played through Final Fantasys 8 and 9 and some GBA RPG's...I played a good amount of PC Counter Strike too, before v. 1.2 was released and cheating was rampant. He actually was forced to drop out of college due to excessive gaming of Counter Strike and Might and Magic which reflected upon his poor grades...
As the years progressed I found I changed to a more portable gamer - the DS was a Godsend in this aspect. I haven't finished a long RPG in a good while.
Middle and High schools were definitely the gaming havens for me. College can be too, for some, but focus on your studies. If you drop out of college, you'll have plenty of time to play games. Once you graduate, you'll have time to play too as you continue/start your job search.
Multiplayer games were always key in college, Halo and such. Thankfully no one I played with liked any of the sports games so the games we played were good for years. Online multiplayer wasn't real big then, but it gained in momentum.
After my freshman year, I got heavily involved in my social and campus life so games took a sidebench and became more of a social activity - a far cry from the hardcore RPG'er that I was in middle and high schools.

The one semester that I was completely addicted to WoW (right when it came out and I was playing like 8 hours a day at least) was the semester where I got my best grades ever.

I had a lot of free time my freshman year last year. 1 or 2 hours between classes is really condusive to gaming. I found myself popping in a game just to pass time until my next class. Tecmo Bowl on the VC, Sonic and the Secret Rings, or my DS.
I first brought a DS and some games when I first went (because I had only one PS2, and that stayed home because my brother wanted it home. Sigh.). My roomie, who isn't much of a gamer, brought his PS1. Picked up a Wii and was given another PS2, and those were my gaming mainstays. I also had a bunch of games, too, although I tried not to bring a crapload, if only because I know I won't play it. My stuff didn't get stolen either, and I left my door open alot. People respected other people's stuff. Although, there was a klepto on one of the upper floors, and he swiped someone's 360. That didn't happen again, though.
I go to WPI, so there's a pretty good gamer community. We have a Game Development Club, and an IMGD (Interactive Media and Game Development) major. So, you couldn't go much of anywhere and not see games. Even the frats had games, whether it was either GHII, or a Cube hooked up to a projector for Smash.
On my floor personally, we had PS2s, XBoxs, GameCubes, a couple SNESs, a N64, couple 360s, and seven of us went and camped out for Wiis at launch. Every single day there was gaming to be done. Sometimes Smash, a little Soul Calibur here and there, some Guitar Hero, Starcraft, the list goes on. I had a blast. And, there was really no way to shut yourself up in your room alone. If you did that, we tried to force you out of your room and join the crowd.
We had some WoW players too. What I thought was funny was that we had a guild leader (who we nicknamed Guild Leader) and someone in his guild on the same floor. Interesting.

Magic the Gathering.. pretty much ruined my college life.. although I'm finally "going back" i live off campus in an apartment with my girlfriend. so the only time i'll get for games is when I can find time between the homework and work..
I guess I took the wrong major.. when I went to college the first time I was a theater major and I was literally working on plays from 8 in the morning till 2 am pretty much 6 days a week.. i had no time for gaming..

There are other reasons as well why you took the wrong major... most importantly being that this will wind up being your career:

I'm in college, have a girlfriend, and I work 30 hours a week. So I personally have a hard time finding the time to play games. I seem to prefer shorter games now since I can beat them more quickly. It's hard, especially with my girlfriend. Any time I try to take time for myself, she instantly thinks that I'm mad and don't want to be around her.
Luckily for Summer quarter I only have two classes, and one of them was a 5 week speed course that I already passed with an A. So now I have several hours a day I can spend playing games. When I start Fall though, I'm back to scrounging for every minute I can spare for games.

My other 3 roommates are all in the Game Design program at my school, but mainly, one of them plays Counterstrike, the other loafs on the couch with his laptop and talks about how awesome Nintendo is, and the other isn't really that big into games, believe it or not. The only time I get in which I can get in a couple solid hours of uninterrupted play is from 8 a.m. to about 11 a.m., Monday through Thursday, because I work out of town all weekend and don't take my consoles with me.
Ah, my freshman year I played through FF7 in about a week and a half, and thats with beating all the hidden bosses and such.
Keep in mind though, that besides video gaming, there will be more girls willing to have sex with you than any other time in your life. And you should get out of the dorm room to take advantage of that.
Normally, they won't want to stay over out of shame, so you can just go back to playing games once they leave.

This thread is real relief to me personally. I'm a senior this year in high school, but I've got 2 brothers who both are going to college/grad school and they get plenty of time. They both brought their consoles, and I plan on bringing mine. The college I'm going to is a small liberal arts one, so it should be fun to introduce people to my Wii, and get them hooked up on SSBB and Mario Kart by the time I get there.

Wait, I just remembered, jokes about using people like objects aren't funny. Therefore "decent" and "sense of humor" don't work together for this "joke."

I was pretty much all but out of the gaming world when I hit college my freshman year, 4 years ago. I was playing a little bit of Call of Duty, and MVP Baseball 2003 I believe it was at the time, all on my PC though. I hadn't owned a console since the N64, and my gaming time was really minimal.
My second year of college I became an RA. And there was one thing that ran rampant in my dorm: Halo. Now this was the fall of 2004, so Halo 2 was just on the horizon, and EVERYONE was playing. We had nightly 8v8s on my floor, and it was great. Halo 2 came out, but my floor stuck with Halo 1. Eventually it switched to a new addiction: X-Men Legends. This was now the Spring of 2005, and after playing hours and hours of Xbox, I decided to pick up an original Xbox, despite the fact that the 360 was coming out shortly.
The primary reason for me was the fact that XBox games were hovering around $20. The only game I paid full price for on the original XBox was XMen Legends 2, and that was a mistake.
So I played a LOT of Xbox over the next year and a half. Then I picked up a Wii (thanks Amazon) this past fall, and this spring, as I was working 3 jobs, I decided to save up a little each week and buy a 360.
I don't play as much PC gaming now, the only games I really played on the computer this whole time was World of Warcraft for about 3 months, but I didn't have the time to spend on it once I got up in the levels, but I still think it's a great game.
Anyone that says that college kids don't play games is an idiot. As an RA, I don't get to choose my roommates, I get put where they place me, and after having lived in about 6 apartments over the past 3 years, I'd say about 75% of my suitemates have had at least one gaming system. This last year in my apartment between the three of us we had:
- 2 XBoxes
- A 360
- A Wii
- A GC
- A PS2
I'd say realistically about 50% of the males I know play video games still. And, many other people want to come over and play games, especially in the dorm atmosphere.
If you're looking to really get people into your room and playing games, a N64 with Goldeneye, PD, and Mario Kart will make you everyone's favorite floormate.
Ya, and I have a girlfriend, and quite a few girls play video games here as well, especially at parties and stuff... so get a clue.

Ok fine, you win.
To the OP...Sorry I misled you. Gaming is fantastic in college you will have a really great time and I'm sure you will meet a lot of good people there to game with (seriously). Just remember to do your homework.
However, while you are there please try to ignore everyone else around you. Its the only way you won't end up in a situation where you have to make a decision that could hurt someone's feelings. Life sucks that way.

I wrote an essay for you despicable sexists:
An essay on objectifying women
Let us commence a journey into the much travelled topic of objectifying women. At one stage or another, every man woman or child will be faced with the issue of objectifying women. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, it is important to remember that �what goes up must come down.� Inevitably objectifying women is often misunderstood by the over 50, who are yet to grow accustomed to its disombobulating nature. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve
Social Factors
There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When J H Darcy said 'fevour will spread' [1] she created a monster which society has been attempting to tame ever since. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet objectifying women irons out misconceptions from our consciousness.
Recent thought on objectifying women has been a real eye-opener for society from young to old. It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man.
Economic Factors
Our world is driven by supply and demand. We shall examine the Maiden-Tuesday-Lending model, which I hope will be familiar to most readers.
Cost
Of
Living
objectifying women
The statistics make it clear that objectifying women is a major market factor. Obviously the cost of living will continue to follow objectifying women for the foreseeable future. The financial press seems unable to make up its mind on these issues which unsettles investors.
Political Factors
No man is an island, but what of politics? Contrasting the numerous political activists campaigning for the interests of objectifying women can be like looking at the vote of the man in the street with that of one more accustomed to objectifying women.
It is always enlightening to consider the words of the star of stage and screen Kuuipo Lionel Forbes Dickinson 'The success of any political system can only truly be assessed once the fat lady has sung.' [2] This quotation leads me to suspect that he was not unaccustomed to objectifying women. It speaks volumes. If I may be as bold as to paraphrase, he was saying that 'political ideals are built on the solid cornerstone of objectifying women.'
While objectifying women may be a giant amongst men, is it a dwarf amongst policy? I hope not.
Conclusion
To conclude objectifying women has, and will continue to be a major building block for the world in which we live. It fills a hole, ensures financial stability and it is human.
I will leave the last word to the famous Britney Hanks: 'At first I was afraid I was petrified. Thinking I could never live without objectifying women by my side.' [3]

Treating women like objects only makes sense, since the only objects THEY want our our money, our nice possessions, and in some cases, our mammoth schlongs. There is a reason why prostitution is the oldest profession in the world, because it gives everyone want they want.

Also, I respect people's personal views on marriage and monogamy, but I have a desire for poon. And if the sluttyness of college equates to me upgrading from D ass to C- ass then I'm all there.
