I did a PowerPoint on the history of video games, from the Missile Command cathode-ray tube computer to PONG to the Wii. I got one of the three highest grades of the class.
Also, in Spanish, whenever I'm asked "Que cosas te gustas?" or something similar I put "Me gusta jugar videojuegos" and I go into detail about which games I like playing.
Sometimes in very deep papers I make a cake reference or two, and its usually circled and a question mark is placed next to it.
Oh, and I know its not video game-related, but I sometimes draw faec's on very tedious questions I know I got right on math tests, and lolwut pears when something was worthy of it. These shenanigans wouldn't be tolerated if I got bad grades, but luckily...
I'm always putting game related stuff in my school assignments. One of my most recent ones was for an English essay last semester. We were supposed to evaluate/review some sort of product/service. Naturally I was going to make mine gaming related. However, instead of going with the typical Wii/DS/PS3/360, I did mine on the Sega DreamCast. Got a pretty good grade on it also (amazing how assignments are much more interesting to work on when they are about something you are actually interested in).
I've got a lot 
Two years ago we had to give a speech in English about something. I hadn't prepared ANYTHING, so I just spoke about the first thing that came to my head; The revelation of the DSi. I stood in front of my whole class talking about the differences between a DS Lite and a DSi, and while I was considered a major nerd for saying the work Pokémon once, I got a pretty good mark for it! ![]()
I also make indirect Pokémon references in descriptive writing pieces:
"A sky-blue turtle pokes it's head from behind a bin, drooling heavily. It then crams itself inside it's hard, brown shell, just it's curly tail poking out, and uses powerful jets of water to shoot down the street."
A couple of days ago in Drama I snuck in the lines "I wanna be the very best, like no-one ever was". It was a disaster, the only person who got the reference really put me off. :3
And finally in the planning stages of my ICT course, I put "Make the correct party escort submission position decision" in the final task box that I had free, and then in the details box next to it I wrote "There will be cake".
I wrote a 4 page essay about gaming in 8th grade. I covered everything from "What is Video Gaming", to "Video Gaming as a Career".
I got an A+ and it got featured in one of those "quality work done by our students" board thing, my school has. Never was I more proud of being a student.
The smirk on my face doubled in size, when I heard that parents thought my essay was influencing people to play games and wanted it taken down

In tech we were supposed to make a store. I made a game store and did made tons of references throughout. I might actually be able to dig up some business cards and maybe the Keynote presentation. Wouldn't that be something?
P.S. 100th post! ![]()
EDIT: In response to Quadcenturo, pretty much my whole class scream that during Geometry. Nobody really knows why. But we do. ![]()

I don't really put gaming related stuff into my school work but my friend has a major problem with it, he once wrote an 11 page essay about why he loves COD modern warfare2

Most of my grade dont really know much about Pokemon. So I draw the Team Plasma logo on all my books and equipment, and the school tables if im feeling like it. (Yeah, I'm a bad student..)
Also, I have a menger sponge keychain, like N's, which I wear everyday to school. Hoping SOMEONE might spot the reference. No luck so far :/
Oh boy, do I.
In 7th Grade, I was told to bring in 3 things that described my personality. The 3rd tihng I brought in was my Pokémon Diamond case, to show that I am an avid gamer.
SHOCK: My teacher has Diamond too, beat it(Before I did, no less), and wanted to battle me. I told him that I'd give him a Raincheck, gave him my Platinum FC(when the game came out), and then I pummeled him with my Giratina + Infernape combo. BTW: Epic English Teacher.
one time i did a project in 4th\5th grade, it was a make-your-own-planet assignment. One continent was from a book, one was a reference to that one spin-off of Adventure quest (the one with the dragons), and there was a portal into an area that was a reference to another game that i found online.

On a future retrospect project, I will be doing a retrospect of Half Life Full Life Consequences, a great literary work.
