you know, i don't think anyone is blaming quake for making people flunk
out.  of course if you flunk out because you play too much quake you've
done something stupid.  but the point is that quake is a stupid game.  this
is further backed up by the fact that people flunk out because of playing
it too much.  quake really is silly and stupid compared with an education.
