I seriously hope none of you guys do this. Just say you like video games when describing yourself and move on. How hard is that?

There, now you're not looked down upon by everyone else.
What did you say when it was your turn then?

please tell me you are at least semi-pro, why would you say competitive gaming otherwise?

>"ahaha user, do you play that new pokemon game too?"
Absolute denial, or even remotely talk about the subject again and continue working.
Seriously, hide that power level, no one cares what you are or do in your free time.
Because it's gaming and it's competition. How else would you word online pvp games?
seconding this,tell us user.

People like him make me happy my parents used to force me to socialize and go outside. I could have ended up like that.
>being so insecure that you can't say video games
>have to introduce ourselves to the whole class for whatever reason
>never have to interact with anyone beyond that
What was the point?
The exact way you just worded it. Honestly, just saying "multiplayer games" is enough. Unless they asked, why even bring up the type of game? Just say you play video games.
>have to introduce ourselves to the whole class for whatever reason
haha wtf
I would stutter it out and then get intense autism anxiety for the rest of the year
Sadly the only other "hobby" I could say was reading, so I went with that and everyone just thinks I'm a lonely virgin autist still
I dread this every semester
>Just say you like videogames?
>They ask what kind of videogames

Fucking Kill Me

I don't know which is worse
anyone got the comic when dating a magma team member? i thought it was cuuute
Yea unless you get to know someone, talking about nerd shit like vidya and anime instantly outs you as sperglord, even at engineering school where over 50% of the students are weird.

Why would you have to do this at university? Don't you just go to lectures and everyone does their own thing?
>now you don't talk to anybody at all in class in college
>tfw that was me for 6 years throughout my entire higher education
Go to lecture, sit down, leave at the end without talking to anyone for 6 years.
Unfortunately you still gotta deal with loads of group assignments, but luckily I've never had to deal with class presentations.
There was a time when that story would have been told by the fat guy. But now Sup Forums is full of normies.
>artist just makes stylized bullshit
Fuck that
You gotta diversify your hobbies at least a little bit so whenever this bullshit comes up you can belt out whatever is most appropriate for the situation
This. Don't bother talking to your peers, they aren't worth your time. Also, depending on the major and teacher, don't bother going or paying attention in class. It's easier and better to learn the stuff on your own.
Depends on the university. At mine, they have this whole "engaged learning" thing where you are supposed to make friends with your professors and other students. Nearly every class I have attended has had an introduce yourself day before hand.
I usually talk about bee keeping, or vinyl records, as I am a bee keeper, and record collector outside of playing video games.
Oh shut up faggot, I probably play more games than half this board. I'm just capable of not being a fucking autistic sperg in public.
>stylized bullshit
Isn't that what all art is user?
Not in case based classes
Sounds like he's quite happy to socialize, although he's the misfit in your class. Could've tossed him a bone and given him a chance desu even if he sounds quite boring
In psych 101 where there are 800 students, sure.
Generally at upper year courses where your class size can be 10-30 students it's not unheard of, especially in courses with practical/lab components or humanity (ie: English/History) courses.

My teacher managed to play it off with a Mark Twain reference (e.g. he would frequently go up on stage and just stand there silently while his audience waited) so things weren't as awful as they could have been, but FUCK.
>even playing videogames in the first place hwere you would have to hide it from people
And yet, you're still bragging about how normal you are. Fuck off.
Did this for my 5 years at Uni
Had to switch out of Science because one bitch teacher had a hard on for forcing people to work in groups
nah that fucking autistic as fuck way of wording it just say online games don't be a faggot
I'm not throwing any bones to people who sound like psychicpeebles on helium who ramble on about minecraft for twenty minutes
>tfw you're awful and awkward even with a script
Just kill me.
>Protip: You're doing a meme course if you have to do any form of group assignment.
I dunno man, in my second semester of Ochem and we have group work. Actually really great for learning/teaching. The professor has the highest averages of all the other Ochem sections.
>that kid that did presentations about video games in class
that kid was me
>Keeping yourself in reasonable shape and knowing how to act in public is bragging about being normal
Did I strike a nerve with you or something, tubby?
That's rough man :/
>oh fuck this guy is min class
According to your own story you had already judged him from the point you saw him playing on his laptop.
I think he was looking for more similar lewds and was disappointed there was none
>Improv
Meme tier garbage. I can do improvs pretty well and still find them a waste of time.
>class goes around saying their favorite piece of media
>half the class says Bioshock Infinite
>instructor also said it was his favorite game, but the dude is pushing 70 so he's still coolhe said his favorite movie was Brazil and so I decided to watch it the next day and it's fantastic

I wanted to pick something recent and really liked and said Dishonored.

btw video games

Which retarded gay classes are you taking? Social studies?
I say I work out and play video games.
I'm a manlet so I always do an exagerated flex when I say those things.
It makes people laugh.
It's nice.
Same, but I just laugh at all the autistic shit I did in middle school.
Are you saying you WOULDN'T judge the fat guy taking up space spread out in a crowded hallway doing a literal WAHOO thing in public?
i swear we had this exact thread before
I judge anybody who uses any laptop that isn't a Thinkpad, let alone a huge heavy crotchfire gaymen laptop
Though I guess that makes me an autist of a different sort
Nah, maybe it's different between countries, but pretty much everything has group works here, including stem. Too much.
No
When that guy comes back to Uni with a gun in his hand, he will remember you, just keep that in mind, you normie.
How many of you fags wrote an essay over video games? How many of you ever wrote a paper arguing about why video games don't cause violence?
>Once had to write a five page essay over a paper advertisement, go in-depth about the messages and contents and shit
>Chose a Doom advert and basically wrote three pages of Doom history
>Professor cuts the requirement to three pages after I already finished it
>Made an A
Guns are illegal at universities, user.
>hatsune miku
Oh lawd
who is that autistic qt?
>tfw your taste in vidya is so niche you don't even fit in with other gamerfags
so are autists brandishing knives.
No, not really. Doesn't exactly sound like a potential close friend, but maybe someone who you could talk to in class sometimes in lack of other company. I would've dropped him after the Minecraft tantrum though. After that he moves into "perhaps good for a laugh if he causes a scene"-territory
Not for long
Depends
Are you in the IT field? Then judge all you want.
Are you Sup Forumsaylord with arch and anime wallpaper? You are in no position to judge

You are the normie, normalfag
>this thread
Thank god my classmates is dotards
In a group assignment, you don't need to introduce yourself to the entire class. You'd only need to introduce yourself to your group.
If you do need to introduce yourself to the class at university, you'd just say your name and possibly where you're from. You don't need to give them your backstory.
It sounds like OP is underage and still in school.
I do IT indeed but with a company issued Dell Latitude and not my Thinkpad
I use Windows 10 and Arch but with no animes.
I hate introduction when you barely gonna interact with each other for 4 months. Especially if the subject isnt even that important
Could be worst, one of them is a LoLfag.
>transfer to new uni
>my first semester there (spring 2015) I get assigned to a group project with a guy who immediately introduces himself as a 6+2chan user and GGer

>started waiting for class to start further and further away from the room so he wouldn't talk to me
>finally seemed to give up on me when I described GG as "a bunch of people arguing on twitter"
>high school
>revealed my power level about anime
>brought a few manga to the school and showed it to people
Everytime I remember,I want to kill myself.
I said I liked to exercise, cook, travel, read, and socialize. All of those are true to some extent except for socializing. I strayed away from my other hobbies like vidya and anime. My professor asked me what type of exercises did I enjoy the most and I said I liked to jog. Later, two guys started talking to me because they enjoyed jogging, too. It all worked out I think
wow I think I'm in love
It's those thighs.
>guy sitting next to me is an MGSbro
>reveal anime
>show manga
are you a retard?
Had a class on interface design last semester, someone did a presentation on League of Legend's controls
>Modern phhysics is a meme subject
>There are girls in the "anime club"

Not introduction but the cringiest thing ive ever experienced in Uni was a fat guy trying to clear a point with the professor using Medieval fantasy terminology
>not doing whatever the fuck you want
>not being yourself
cmon step it up and don't give a shit
I truly was and I regret it everyday.
Well,luckily enough,there was never an anime club where ı studied and I spent all of the club shit sleeping.
2d is perfection!
>get group assignment
>it's not assigned randomly
>somehow get in a group
>everyone in the group has 10x your work ethic and is 10x more social
Cowards like you are the ones I really dont like. Rather be a dork than live your life as a poser. Naturally you don't share exactly everything with people you just met, but what's the point of being a wannabe-normie?
>Anime club
>The girls there are ugly and autistic
This will never not be the case
>say you like playing nintendo games
>the only other person who shares this sentiment in the class looks and acts like a typical nintentard that Sup Forums makes fun of
I go to a smaller state school where none of my classes have more than 25 people. Every single class has had us introduce ourselves to our peers.
