What's the difference in age between you and your girlfriend if she has a 17 year old son?

I find it much worse that Erin was actually hiding, and waiting, behind the sofa.
Waiting.
Waiting...

Another thing to add to the list of parenting ideas, thanks for that!

My brother did this to me once. Apparently I annoyed him to such a degree that he felt justified in deleting ALL my saves of games I'd been playing on his xbox. I don't think I've ever been so simultaneously angry and gutted. Thankfully for him I'm not vindictive, so I didn't retaliate in kind.
You must have some idea as to why?

I did it to my younger brother once, after several times of telling him not to throw my controller around when he loses at games etc, so I got rid of everything of his off my PS2 memory card, he never did it again after that. He didn't own any of the games or anything, so I didn't ruin things he paid money for. Just his time, after he cost me a new controller.

I think I'll go hide my Pokémon cartridges now. Just in case my parents see my latest detention slip and decide to take my typhlosion to a farm upstate...

owww, man...This reminds me of my brother's Morrowind files. It was like a year or so after we were done playing the game, and we'd all moved on to other stuff. So, one day, I was trying to make room on the pc (for the Sims, actually) and I was just going "Well, we don't really play that anymore do we?" So I just deleted the whole game WITH the savefiles.

I've never seen him so mad as when he lost his level 76 Orc...

This whole comic could literally just have been that image of the Argonian's shocked face, and I would still be rather pleased. I fucking love Argonians. Though I always kind of preferred to imagine them as not being capable of a wide range of expressions. When I wrote something involving an Argonian, I had him barely able to go beyond anger because of his primitive dinosaur face, and so relied on body language to get the rest across.

This hits home considering I married Ysolda D:

I also plan to do to this to any children I may have, since it's genius.

My first thought: LOL!

My following thoughts, in no particular order: "That's awesome!" "I may have to try that." "That was f*cking mean." "Gods I love it!"

EDIT: for spehlink.

Oh but why stop there? Why not make a quest that tells them to improve their grades? One that will kill their character every time.

If your girlfriends son is 17, why do you even need to be authoritarian anyway. He's basically an adult. If his grades are down, that his flipping problem and he's old enough to realise that.

But I can't think of a course of action more likely to brew indiscipline and resentment than treating a mature kid as though they need to be disciplined.

It's pretty much the equivilant of putting a horse's head in somebody's bed for gamers.

The fallout from something like this would be horribly, horribly nasty in my family. Thankfully, none of us hate each other.

You're a very smart, and very very very very bad man.

That said, grades are more important. But please, don't be too mean.

Killing Stockpile Thomas? Yeesh. That seems pretty harsh.

I mean, we all know Erin doesn't have a heart of gold or anything, but you can't just take that from them!

and that's why it is bad to have parent who understand technology and games. that being said if i was a parent and i would at least make a backup before i did it.

i would be very annoyed the short run. there wouldn't be revenge because that won't bring back the saves and in fact it could motivate parents to delete potential backup they made.

That being said i would not hold deeply against them in the long run because it is just a video game. but i won't fully trust them anymore.

that is harsh and effective in some way; but it's only fully effective once. the kid will learn to backup there save files quite often after that.
i advise you watch out for potential revenge because what you did is kinda personal
