Poll: Do Your Parents Play Video Games?

[DarkhoIlow]

My mom is an old school person(she is 54yo)so she's not into video games.

My dad on the other hand liked to play on the gameboy back in 2003(Gameboy pocket).He would keep all the Mario games to himself and not share the bastard =P.

My dad played Half-Life 1 and Quake 2 back in the day. Since he didn't upgrade his computer since those times, he doesn't play anything now.

My mom loooooves CTR, ans often asks me to bring it along with my PS3 when I visit her for a long period. She also plays Wolfenstein 3D and the old school Dooms.

But recent games sail right over their heads.

Well, my mum plays used to play all those casual games of Facebook, then moved away from that. Now she usually plays game on her Ipad, like angry birds or scrabble. Occasionally she'll get out the Wii for a game of Donkey Kong country returns or Wii fit, but not too often.

My dad used to play some shooters when I was younger. His sight got really bad at one point and he had to quit. He rocked at Goldeneye. He beat the hardest difficulties way before me (I was only in 4th grade), and was good at the Genesis shooters with the light gun. My mom has been a Nintendo fan for a while, sorta. She owns a Wii herself but it was her who owned our original Atari and NES. She keeps up to date with some things for my sake, though, for holidays. Sometimes tha doesn't go so well. I'm looking at you, Black Ops.

No, they do not play them. But I might show them some easy games they might enjoy. (they haven't played a real video-game in like 8-10 years)

 

[The Hot Sauce Thief]

My mom plays the old Crash Bandicoot games on the old xbox, and my dad plays Fifa 10 and Modern Warfare 2 with my little brother

 

[Super Toast]

My mom plays spyro and GTA.


...She pretty good at the GTA part.

I find that endlessly amusing.

OT: Nope.

My mum doesn't, but I suspect that's because she knows nothing about it. She was surprised when I told her that games could be scary...

My dad on the other hand plays them all the time nowadays (more than me, recently). Basically just Mario Kart and Black Ops multiplayer on the Wii (he's clocked 100s of hours on that)...he admittedly doesn't understand how games can be fun when they aren't competitive. But he enjoys himself, even though he is terrible. You'd think practice would make perfect, but no.
