My patented post:
Skipping school or work for a game is stupid. End of story. Don't give the industry another black eye just because you don't have the guts to face your life for a couple hours.And don't get me wrong, I'll miss some time on homework for it, but it'll all get done on time.
I know I'm being harsh, but it kills me everytime I see someone saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna get fired because I skipped work today to play (x)." Cases like that pave the way for censorship better than anything else out there.
Skipping school for Halo 2 isn't stupid, in your opinion it may be stupid, but it's not fact. Other people have different opinions, and if they don't go to work/school, I don't think it's going to harm you in any way, so it shouldn't matter to you. And as for the question, yes, I am skipping school. I love playing video games, and Halo 2 will be awesome. I personally will enjoy it, and since you obviously will feel more obliged to go to work/school, then you enjoy yourself there.
