I do it all the time. Today in Computer Applications, we were allowed to put anything that's not innapropriate as a logo for our letter heading. I put Paper Mario sprites next to my 48-font-size name

Share your brilliant ideas.

In Tech., we are having an upcoming project, but the teacher dosen't know what it is.(lol) She says she takes suggestions, so we might be doing sprites! I also did a report on B/W, Epic Mickey, Sonic 4&Sonic Colors, and a book of poems on Video Game characters.

I sneak Pokémon into all my assignments.

Sometimes TF2.

Oh, definitely. I even did a PowerPoint presentation on how to do the Galaxy Man level from Mega Man 9. I got extra credit for using a lot of animations. Most of them were Mega Man related. I'm sure Ive done it a lot more then that though.

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.

In English class in Grade 8, I was supposed to write a newspaper on any appropriate topic. I picked video games. Therefore, my whole project was gaming related.

Not video games, but I did make a project about the Laz0r. Does that count?

I would also draw little pictures of Sho Minamimoto on Algebra tests. I would get them back colored in with red pen.

For English, I did haikus on the Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, and Canyon. That's a Majora's Mask reference for the blatantly unaware.

Recently in a class we had to do a project about ourselves and present it to the class, and I told my classmates that I was a big Need For Speed fan. ^_^ Good stuff right there.

Since second grade all creative writing or free-writing assignments have been Pokémon.
Only since fourth grade did I include the accented e.

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...

Haha Kaz, I always have an urge to put smiles everywhere, and I always wonder if my teachers know of the game.

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 once did a lengthy presentation on E3, and every now and then I sneak in Pokémon and Portal references.

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

I declare you to be the winner.

I don't think this counts, but I will usually draw Pokéballs in the corner of my papers. And I will sometimes draw a portal reference somewhere. (You can see "THE CAKE IS A LIE" on the front of my History notebook)

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 started doodling on my calculator with whiteout this morning, after a while I had subconsciously drew a giant Team Plasma logo on it. Calculations are gonna be a lot more fun now...

There are a few things wrong with that:

1. He doesn't like Pokémon.
2. He loves CoD MW2
3. He wrote 11 pages on it

He must not get out much, all CoD really is, is a game made for multi-player.

I once put a reference to the DSi Sound in a current event paper. Other than that, I don't put much video game references into school assignments. But I might put a gaming reference into an engineering assignment.

And what's with the suggestive tag at the bottom? ._.

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 :/

On a Social Studies Project, I used the fire starters up to 4th gen.

It was a Propaganda assignment. I only got a 96% because my teacher didn't get where I was going with it.

I did it all the time in 4th and 5th grade when we wrote journals about whatever we wanted. Most of the time I wrote walkthroughs for the levels of my favorite video games, even though, the teacher wouldn't know what I was writing about

In computer programming a few weeks ago, we were allowed to make a program display whatever message we wanted, so I made it say "all your base are belong to us." Of course, the teacher had no idea what it meant and presumably thought I had suckish grammar.

I'm going to accomplish something in life.

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.

D00d, that's so fricken epic! A teacher who plays pokemon, I wish one of my teachers were that awesome!
I did a diarama of Aztec history and put in an action figure of Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy7!

We were doing this project about Greek Mythology and me and my partner had Zeus, so I made a Zeus Sprite using Pokemon Sprites! I was really good and we got a 100 for it! I was glad too!
