Yoshi1176 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 So in order to keep my almost perfect grades in check my mom has decided to not allow me to play video games on a school day. My school starts this wendsday which means when halo 4 comes out ill only be able to play it on saturdays and sundays. Any one have a idea to keep me leveling up same as every one else.

fzdw11 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Play Halo 4 for 48 hours straight on the weekends, no sleep! Sleep is for the weak anyway. On a serious note, though, if you can prove that you can keep your grades up and still play video games, it'll be a win-win. My suggestion is to do your homework immediately as soon as you get home from school, and do this daily, even without Halo 4. If you can prove that you're still be responsible in your school work, maybe your mother will see that and allow you to play on weekdays too, as long as you stick to your homework schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks ill try that but the staying up option is not a option in my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzdw11 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks ill try that but the staying up option is not a option in my case Yeah, that one was a joke. xD The reasoning behind the second, if you start school on Wednesday, that's giving you more than 2 months worth of school prior to Halo 4 coming out. That being said, I don't know how often you get a report card, by when I was in school it was roughly every 9 weeks, meaning that you should theoretically have one by the time Halo 4 is released, and if you've kept up your grades, well, who's to say how things will turn out?

Mr Biggles Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just make sure you find the balance between school and work, your mother can't overwork you anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 What I do, is that I make sure I actually finish my school work early in my class, and do my homework there too. I then go home and tell my mom that my homework is already done. She's usually quite impressed by this come the report card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 As a father and experienced kid....I offer this. At no point in your life should you try to do things quickly or.for the sake of a game. Video games may seem important now, but later on life you may regret shortchanging or sacraficing things simply to play a game. I would not worry about leveling up. If you have a good amount of skill as Biggles does, then rwgardless of rank you will be able to beat many opponents. Having that high rank or unlocked armor mods doesnt mean said.person will use them.effectively or earned them. I would worry about a solid education and just leave Halo for the weekends or for when you truly have downtime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Reiden X Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Play Halo 4 for 48 hours straight on the weekends, no sleep! Sleep is for the weak anyway.

If you can prove that you're still be responsible in your school work, maybe your mother will see that and allow you to play on weekdays too, as long as you stick to your homework schedule. My mother did the same thing back when I was in Middle School, once I hit High School she let me take my own lead. But what she did was the RIGHT thing, and thanks to my improving grades she let me "Play for 48 hours straight on the weekends, no sleep." Back then (for me at least) sleeping was for *******, now I am in College and I know how to coordinate and balance my studies. And like someone said, if you are good enough you'll lvl up REALLY fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quail Checkers Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'd play Halo 4 anyways, but just try to keep both in check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 i have a similar situation with my parents. I am allowed to play on friday nights, weekends, any days with no school, and one day of my choice during the week. I have to balance my time between school, sports, xbox, and these forums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
