An American teenager has dropped out of high school in order to become an expert at the video game Guitar Hero.
Blake Peebles, 16, quit his sophomore year at North Raleigh Christian Academy to concentrate on perfecting his game, which so far has seen him win prizes from gift certificates to gaming equipment and chicken sandwiches.
The Raleigh, North Carolina native’s parents hired a tutor and allowed their son to drop out of school after he wore them down with his complaints.
"We couldn't take the complaining anymore. He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time," his mother Hunter told The News & Observer.
"Fuck school! I can go out in the world and win chicken sandwiches with my skills."

Depends on what kind of chicken sandwich, really.

His tutor will be fed up with him constantly "refining" his game during a session.

When are the school holidays over, wherever it is you live?
I don't know, I have not gone to school since I was 16. I dropped out to polish my contra skills.
You know there will be an interactive fucking game in this lifetime

please see above at how TRIFECTA kills a otherwise healthy thread in just three simple posts. It's quite fascinating.
