>Be 7 years old
>Be ill
>Miss school and play Mario Party 2 all day
I wanna be young again.

>Too sick for school, too sick for video games!

I still found it fun.

Have fond memories of playing games like Quackshot, Buster Busts Loose and Mischief Makers while on fever.

>have chicken pox
>play NES all day
Good days

>IF YOU'RE TOO SICK TO GO TO SCHOOL YOU'RE TOO SICK FOR VIDEO GAMES

>tfw even when I was sick my mom made me go to school

Having a mom that was a teacher was suffering

I had a hernia surgery, parents bought me uzumaki chronicles and i played that shit for a month straight

shutup mom

>Having a mom that was a teacher was suffering
my mom was a teacher for 20+ years and she always believed my lies about being sick. sounds like your mom's just a bitch, user.

>tfw that was my mum too

>sick from school
>cool but comfy morning
>get to stay in bed made by mum
>she brings you chicken noodle soup
>get to lay in bed and play pokemon sapphire on GBA
>will never be that comfy ever again

>get busted playing them anyways
>get NES taken away for a week and forced to go to school the next day even though I was actually still sick

Got bedridden last week. Tried to play mhgen on bed but I couldn't because headache was killing me.

My immune system fucking sucks, so whenever I was too sick for school, I really was too sick for video games.

>sick from high school
>want to study and get ahead of my work
>too sick for school, to sick for functional thinking!
>have to play games instead
Fuck you sickness

I never got to stay at home sick very much because my mom was a nurse that didn't want us missing class + I wasn't ever sick much to begin with, but one of the few days I was home sick from middle school, I did a full play through and beat ehrgeiz's dungeon mode, which I thought was hard as fuck at the time

I remember being sick when Mario Sunshine released. My mom told me I was too sick to play but I snuck out my chamber to watch my brother play it, I was extremely jealous.
The diarrhea didn't make it one bit better.

>rarely get sick
>whenever got sick was actually too tired to play
I just skipped a lot of school to play vidya which is why I ended up nowhere.

Yep. Pic related when I'd fake being sick and they'd pull this shit

Your mom was a stupid bitch, forcing you to go to school and infect other students.

>Get chickenpox
>Stay in bed crying while playing some purple ninja video game that was in the ps1

>get sick last year
>take the day off work because of this
>Earthbound Origins was released a couple of days before
>spend most of the day playing it.

EXCUSE ME

2D is hard

>tfw you actually are too sick for videogames
I just wanted to take my mind off of it

I remember beating jak x while I had pneumonia

I remember raiding while I had severe diarrhea. I'm convinced my butthole is amongst the strongest in the world after that day because I managed to hold it in like a champ.

im sick right now! what should i play?

>Purple ninja video game

>brother and I both stay home be of food poisoning from buffet
>I throw up once and perfectly fine the rest of the day
>playing the shit out of sonic heroes
>my brother throws up multiple times and is sleeping all day
Good times

Main one I remember:

>Was in like middle or high school
>Had the flu and a really bad sore throat at the same time.
>Pretty much everything I ate came up not long after.
>Played Sonic Advance during that time to pass time.
>I now link the last few levels of that game with getting sick.

Shit sucks. I also got violently ill when I tried a friend's fried egg and now I cannot eat fried egg without thinking about it.

Fucking bitch.

Jokes on them I was old enough in middle school they'd leave me by myself at home while I played marvel bs capcom

You need a spouse, they'll take care of you when you're sick unless you're both sick

>When I wasn't faking sick I actually was too sick for video games

>tfw constipated like 7 or some shit
>doc gives me a laxative
>tried to play sly 2 because i didn't think it would be that bad
good thing i had the bathroom next to my room cause my bowels couldn't handle Neyla and my shit at the same time

>Sly 2
>7 years old

I want the underage to leave

sly 2 came out in '04

>get sick and still go to school
>get my entire class super sick
>school gives me warning that i have to stay home next time im sick or i'll get in trouble
>abuse the shit out of this and stay home every time im even remotely not feeling well
>hang out with my dad all day (he worked from home) and eat hot dogs and play Quake with him while everyone else is at school

shouldn't you be out starting a family or something. get off Sup Forums old man.

>tfw used to get my mum to pick me up from school because i desperately needed a shit

devilish

Food poisening... The fucking worst. It goes out both god damn ends.

I played TMNT manhattan project from start to finish. It was my first house so I was maybe 7?

Anyways, when I finally put the controller down, my hands were so stiff I couldn't uncurl my fingers. First game I ever beat.

Good times.

Holy shit, I didn't remembered this till now
>Got sick
>Mom goes to rent a game for me
>Rent pic related because she liked the cartoon
>She picked this game to actually play with me all day
>I recall the game being okay, but even as a kid I was aware that she wanted to share something that I loved with me

Thank you for the good memories, user.

>8 years old
>playing Pinobee
>the instruction booklet says I have one more world to go before I beat the game
>pretend to be sick the next day so I can finish the game right away
>in the last stage before the final world
>get stopped by the fairy godmother
>she doesn't look too happy
>stage ends abruptly
>every stage ends with a wall of text telling me all the stuff I did in the level
>I button mash through it as usual
>dramatic music starts playing
>Pino says something like "What is this monster that I've become?"
>it won't let me skip anymore
>Pinobee grows fangs and screen goes black
>shot of Pino's grandpa sitting in a corner in the darkness
>"BUT WHAT BECAME OF GRANDPA...?"
>game cuts straight to the title screen

My mom would usually say no to vidya if I stayed home but she's technologically dumb so I would say I was listening to music on my playstation when she came to check on me and then resume playing when she left.

>got sick like a mother fucker back then from someone elses house
>Dont want to go to school so breath really hottly on the thermometer for good measure
>pop on Billy hatcher and the giant egg, and play that, ape escape and Gex all night and till morning
>get even more sick, too sick to play
and it was a grand 20hours of play time

Why are triggered gen Zers so cocky?

Are you that new that you don't know you're here forever?

Thought it sounded cool and finally managed to find it.
If you feel like some nostalgia, or if someone else's curious, here is it.

>have to stay home from work but just healthy enough to play simple games
>Fallout 4 is on sale so say fuck it and buy it
>play through the whole thing 2 times before I get healthy

I should get sick more often, I might be able to get through FFXIII

Played Harvest Moon for three straight days, only stopping to sleep for about 8 hours on the second day. Then got sick.

>Farm chick too plain and default
>Cute red head who travels allot and likes weird things
no contest

I played this on dreamcast while home sick once..sometimes i miss being a kid other times i just wish i was dead desu

The cute brown haired girl (Ellie) was the easiest to court. Literally just give her eggs, cakes or flowers once a day. She's also the best girl.

Not really when I was young, but I was in early teens.

...

I tried (or tried to play) MGSV on my deathbed last year. I legitimately thought the ridiculous, crappy story was only that way because I was delirious and in horrible pain.

After making a miraculous turnaround, baffling medical science and defying death, I replayed it and realized the story was actually that ridiculous and crappy.

Game's still good

I rimmed an escort and got really sick last winter. Ended up in bed all week playing MGSV. Game was shit, worst of the series by a long way.

>haha one time i was sick
>i didnt do anything but play video games
>haha wow it was great

what a shitty fucking thread idea kys

Last December I was feeling sick and awful and I thought it would be a good time to play Lisa the Painful.

I didn't feel any better after finishing it, since now I had to deal with a broken heart as well.

I still love my family to this day despite their flaws.

We all secretly do. You might act like you hate your family, but the truth is, they have to do something really horrible to you to break that bond

?
The original Paper Mario, not TTYD.

>mom makes me go to school anyway
>throw up during lunch
>get sent to the nurse
>nurse calls mom, tells her I'm sick, etc
>mom doesn't believe her, have to stay in the nurse's office all day dry heaving

Thanks mom.

oh shit, my bad

what were you sick with?

Are you me?

I've had food poisoning once and I had to lay with my legs bent all day, if I laid them staight then 20 seconds I'd be sprinting to the toilet. Eventually ended up laid on my bathroom floor drenched in cold sweat completely naked for half an hour.

Bad times.

That happened to me with the banana pudding. Felt like shit.

>be six years
>be sick
>miss school trip to a cold wet and windy place
>spent it playing Sam & Max hit the road and other great ms dos games

I also have 194 hours of vacation built up, though I have been making a conscious effort to schedule vacation time. Still probably have more than will carry over to next year, though, so I might lose some of it.

I wasn't sick but I remember one time there was a pouring rain and dad said: oh well, you can stay at home and I remember being comfy playing Banjo-Kazooie

Why do we have such good memories of playing video games when ill? What makes it so special?

You actually are middle-aged aren't you? You're way to old to be frequenting a website for arguing about video games. Find a wife and grow up.

>be 6, 7 at the latest
>watching uncle play silent hill
>he's in his late 20s and cool as fuck, really look up to him
>just starting the game, I already feel sick for some reason beforehand, game is making me anxious on top of that
>watch him make his way through that initial alley scene
>gore intensifying
>I throw up on the floor at its conclusion

And that's how I was introduced to quality survival horror at a young age. I also vividly remember watching him play some time after that, before the fight with the infected cop. My uncle was getting frustrated because he wanted me to read off the strategy guide like my dad would for him, when I was so young that I could barely read. It was too late anyway though, he missed that key item to cure the cop and was already going for the bad - ending.

I was off school sick when I was about nine, lying down on the sofa. My dad, usually really busy with work, had taken the day off to supervise me. He doesn't play video games, or really understand the appeal. Eventually, tells me to bring my PS2 (a gift he'd bought me a few years before) downstairs and watches me play a level on Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban that I'm having trouble with. Being eight, I'm having difficulty understanding how to beat this one part where you have to get past Snape. My dad figures it out, ends up playing the game with me for a while. One of the best memories of my childhood with him that I have.

This shit.
I used to love having a sick day and fishing for lobsters in an almost empty world. Super peaceful.

>shit black kids don't say to their father

Fuck lads, I'm feeling it.

>have cancer
>chest pains from chemo
>video games help keep mind off of it most of the time

You're the man, and it is your job to take care of HER. She shouldn't have to do anything for you.

>get sick and still go to school
>get my entire class super sick
>school gives me warning that i have to stay home next time im sick or i'll get in trouble
>still go anyways even when my parents tell me not to
Fucking having to make-up work. Same reason I didn't like vacations.
