Class tomorrow

Makes you wonder how many students in this class tried to call in sick to play Portal 2 on launch day! Either way you have to hand it to the professor for calling them on it!

April 19th, 2011, is the day that Skynet, a malevolent murderous AI, goes online.

April 19th, 2011, is the day that Portal 2, a game featuring Glados, a malevolent murderous AI, is released.

I'll just leave this little tidbit of info here.............

While he seems nice on the outside, that professor is secretly engineering lemons to burn down your house with.

I dunno what you're talking about, teacher, but I'm doing science and I'm still alive.

Did I also mention that I feel fantastic and I'm still alive?

We're just cancelling class for Portal 2. Clearly anyone who disagrees is a fun barring monster.

I too was "sick" that day.

I ended up missing the memo that I had an AP Calculus and an AP Government quiz the next day and completely bombed both quizes.

Was it worth it?
Hell yeah!

Sorry teach, but they told me if I ever miss out on Portal 2 I'll die.

"I have already have had several..." Really hope this person wasn't an English teacher.

Irony: I only had one lecture that day. I made it to said lecture due to the re-installation of Portal 2. I think steam has it in for me, first I had to reinstall, then I didn't get my Super Meat Boy reward... life is cruel

I have a lot of negative things to say about my school district, but one thing they got right...

Spring break started this week. I was able to beat Portal 2's single player the day it came out :D

Stop worrying about them. They are okay. They are still people. Who are okay. They are busy doing safe things that are supervised by a responsible safety associate. Everything is fine here.

The teachers must really have feared an epidemic, having most of their students missing on Tuesday and Wednesday that week...

Bog blast it, why are my teachers not that awesome?

I still have my free legit Portal 1 thx for CoF forum, but didn't finish it...
My brain is not smart enough to solve all the puzzles.
Wonder how hard Portal 2 is...

They won't let me take tests at my school, because my tenacity is at the 99th percentile. My proctor noted that I am abnormally stubborn. I never give up. EVER.

Did someone call in sick from Halolz submissions?

Even though the teacher called their bluff, for the students this was a triumph.

It took me about 6 hours 40 minutes to complete single-player mode the day of the release, and at the same day in the evening I played with friend to do the co-op mode and we finished chapters 1 through 4 before we went to bed.

The next day we did chapter 5 and by then we both burned through most of portal 2 in a bit over a day.

I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Honesty is for people who don't have game-friendly professors.

I think that instead of sending the notes to each of his students, he should convert them into a series of talking potato batteries... but with voices set on scornful

How come I don't own Portal 2 yet?
*Looks at bank account*

Oh yeah... Shogun 2, Okamiden, the 3DS, Pokemon White, Dragon Age II....

Curse you 2011 for releasing the awesome games (or lets say the hyped ones) so early!

Guess I will have to go with Portal 1 and A LOT of custom Maps :P

Hooray for viral marketing! But seriously, what if he was the teacher? Now, wouldn't the situation be entirely different?

Hmmmm, it's been 3 days since last post... Is Shawn playing Portal 2?

Your test results say you are a horrible person. That's what it says. You're a horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.

Nearly all of the last Portal related posts I've seen on Reddit days ago.
