My computing teacher in high school was a conspiracy theory maniac who used Macs because he thought they would help him stay off the grid and became an award winning sprinter as part of his training for the oil wars. One time I found a bunch of videos on one of the computers of the creepy IT tech guy lurking outside people's houses and going into one (hopefully someone he knew lol) to let the camera linger on a trumpet or something for an uncomfortably long time. I showed this to the teacher and his eyes went incredibly wide and he told me to delete it immediately

In sixth grade I was in a computer club after school which was basically just playing Civilization 1 for an hour

We had a game club in my middle school where they played TF2 for two hours and I eventually stopped going because they only wanted to do 2fort. I don't think anyone captured the flag the whole time it was going but they loved it. Eventually it got shut down because of complaints about the room's noise and smell

I was in the gifted program and it was basically just an hour of the original Sim City twice a week. Eventually the superintendent found out we weren't doing anything other than playing video games and called a meeting about it with the school board. We came up with a bullshit speech about how the game is educational and we're learning about civics or whatever. It was sufficiently convincing to the school board, so there was no inquest into the matter. The gifted teacher rewarded us by buying 10 copies of Sim City 2 with school funds.

In middle school my friend and i discovered that if you put the tomb raider 2 disk in a cd player, it would play the game soundtrack. For some reason it included a track that had the sound of a running shower

There was also this cool tutorial level that took place in Lara’s mansion where you could explore, with tons of switches and weird stuff that made it seem like there were legit secrets to find

When we found a shower in the mansion, we were convinced this was proof that the nude raider rumors were true, so we spent a stupid amount of hours trying to figure out how to trigger a shower scene

I think all we ended up accomplishing was trapping the senile butler in the meat locker
