I play games for 3 hours a week about and I always considered myself a light to casual gamer. If you spent that long on an mmo a week, there is no way you could be considered good, rather than hardcore.

As for the standardized cirriculum, they are always taught differently, standardized tests do sound alright, but poorly conducted. If too much focus is just on the tests, then it is useless.

80 percent is kind of bad in my opinion. That would be like a 3.0 gpa.

Not like I can bust your balls for it today....

I think I violated my own rule about a dozen times today. Of course, Apium and I were posting during the Sony conference, so we had to keep up with what was going on.

Getting 90s is fairly difficult in my mind. I don't think there are many people at my school who have a 90+ average.

As for the double posting... its been realy bad lately :o there IS an edit button people!

Yes, but when you edit, it doesnt highlight your post like it would with a new post.

Also note how fast we were posting. I was typing as I listened and watched the conference. I'm sure I can say the same for Apium.

Still, that is why I made the three conference threads.
