I wish I could take a week off school.

Er...wtf? Chrome doesn't like the back button. It made me double post. 😕

I took half a day off work back on April 29th when GTA4 came out. I felt stupid after doing it. 😛 But if you have vacation to burn and it won't roll over to next year or get paid out, then by all means, sounds like a good time.

My uncle used to call in sick to work many a time to stay at home to play EQ and make long distance conference calls over AT&T during raids because the VOIP clients at the time sucked.
Same here, I would hate to get behind a week in my senior level compilers class. It is getting rather crazy in there at the moment.

I"m just hoping I get my console back from MS in time to play Fable when it releases. Just turned my xbox to play after not touching it for about 3 months and 3 red lights.. yay 🙂

Who are you to tell others how they should spend their own vacation time? A bit pretentious, are we?

Maybe he's tired of being the best dad and husband anybody has ever had, and just wants some time to himself to enjoy one of his hobbies. I'm guessing if somebody said they were going to take a week of vacation to do some woodworking or photography, you wouldn't think half as bad about it.
So do I, but I still wouldn't waste vacation just for a video game... unless that vacation is going to go to waste anyway in which case I'd gladly use it .. probably even without a video game just to stay home and sleep 🙂
At any rate, using a vacation for a video game does nothing but make you get through the game a lot faster... unless there is a race or something, wouldn't it be better for the entertainment value to last a while?
I can't wait for Fable 2, but it'll be after the Kid's bed time in the evenings for me.
note to all those judging others for judging others... I'm not making any kind of judgement on the OP, simply providing my own opinion on the matter.. everybody is entitled to do what they wish with their free time. A post like this though is inviting others to post their own opinions and here is mine 🙂
Our family has already taken a vacation to Florida in July (NickHotel FTW!). I have 2.5 weeks I have to use before the end of the year and most of December is blocked off at work and we are not allowed to schedule vacation during that time.
I appreciate your candor but this is a gaming forum, not a parenting class.

Wow--this thread is really going places!
Look, I wouldn't use beyond one day of vacation time to play a video game either--but I'm not this guy. If it's something he wants to do and is excited for it--then good for him.
Everyone has their hobbies and passions, and everyone needs their own time for themselves. Let the man have his fun. :beer:
