    You obviously dont have a job or have a craptacular one...

    He said vacation time (that is paid)....

    Most places when you get into the real world offer you nice beni packages which include vacation time, some even allow you to bank your over time as "comp time"....

        I'm in the Army. I get paid whether I work or don't. I'm clearing my current installation, so I might as well be off. :laugh:

          I have the ability to work from home. Yes I'm working and playing, or admining I should say. Have web and server work to do.

          Game ON!

            Don't think I'd ever skip school/work to play a certain patch. Even though in high school, I skipped school to play the first Tony Hawk for PS2. That game was soo sweet when it first came out.

            :)

              I prefer not being a drain on society.

                I never skipped a day at school.

                Never ever ever ever.

                  The rest of us appreciate that, and I'm sure in the next life it will really earn you some brownie points! While you are out, can you get me a six pack of beer? I could also use some nachos, thanks again!

                  Its a good thing no one is allowed to take time off from work or school to have fun. Fun is most certainly stupid, and so are people who have fun. You guys shouldn't even be playing this game in your "off" time, you should be like..., saving the planet from the rest of us or discovering something that will save humankind or some bug(s) or plant(s) somewhere that is endangered or hungry or something.

                  None of us should really give a damn how others decide to spend their time. This isn't an ant colony and I'm sure the rest of us can manage for ourselves just fine without having to worry about what other people are doing. Every person who replied to this thread saying something bad about someone deciding for themselves how to spend their own time should take a good look in the mirror and decide what makes you happy in life.

                  Certainly not every has locked themselves into the same 9-5 job you have, and not everyone has the same level of responsibility as others do. Don't fault people for doing what makes them happy within reason, and certainly playing a video game should be considered within reason.

                  Don't take life so seriously, no one gets out alive.

                      No, I'd never take time off college for something as frivolous as a game.

                      I think it's nefarious to do so.

                          I would totally do no work today and just play games if I hadn't spent labor day weekened doing just that.

                          Now I have papers to write, sigh :<

                              Umm, rather unless your really that sad and dont have a life. If you dont stay in school for lessons stay to pi*s around with ur m8s (thats if uve got any) because when it comes down to it, the BF2 Disc cant talk to you, thats if you aint been on any drugs, :laugh:

                                I might be able to understand that if it was a brand new game of the year type thing, but just for v1.4 that's silly.
