Times when... you + parents + gaming = embarassment.

My parents caught me playing Postal 2 when I was in the midst of pissing in someone's mouth and then setting them on fire.

They mentioned possible therapy after that...

Random Phone call.

Mom: Hey Son.
Me: Hey mom.
Mom: What are you doing?
Me: Playing Borderlands.
Mom: You having fun?
Me: Yes.
Mom: You killing everything that tries to shoot you?
Me: Uh.... Yes.....
Mom: Keep up the good work.
Me: Sure....
Mom: Did you find the boat?
Me: What boat?
Mom: Go to Tracher's Landing. You'll find it.

15 Minutes Later - Phone call back
Mom: Yes son?
Me: The fuck did you know that?

Two years ago.

My Dad owns the hell out of me in Brawl.

With Ness. And me as Snake.
The first thing is possibly the most hilarious thing I have ever heard.

Family embarrassment? You have no idea. My uber-dysfunctional family has the potential to embarrass me anytime my mic is live. And they have, several times. Aside from that, I live with people who hate the very act of gaming and find fault from anything and everything I do. I'd not care for them to know what I do when I'm gaming, regardless if it's something that's potentially embarrassing.

If I can give you an example of what I'm dealing with here. I once DVR'ed(Tivoed) an episode of Drawn Together just to sate my curiosity about the show. (It's a shitty show, avoid it.) But my mother and brother watched it and spent the next two weeks giving me a bunch of shit about everything in the show. I didn't even like the damn show. They also went snooping in my computer while I was at work and found some...questionable images. (Not going into detail, just use the word porn if you must.) I cannot even lock my damn door anyway, all I can do it wedge it shut.

You're probably asking yourself how someone keeps their sanity in this kind of environment. In all honesty, they don't.
Should have hidden that porn better. Cover your tracks in electronicland.

For me I put a password on my computer, and all content of questionable legality is stored on an external hard drive which is hidden inside a box that is locked that is hidden somewhere else (in a different spot, I change it up).

Yep.
My, aren't you paranoid.

I laughed at this and brotherhoodofsteel's post about borderlands.

Back in my years of runescape my dad wanted me to show him the game.
The first thing that happened was a girl in a bank screaming "PRESS 123 IF YOU WANT A GIRL TO FILL ANY OF YOUR DESIRES"

Coincidentally, she found someone, and they ended up taking the same path that I was taking my dad through. They talked dirty the entire trip.

I wasn't allowed to play that game anymore.

My Mum hates playing video games that aren't on PC but she loves watching me or my younger brother when we're playing games on the Xbox (which is quite rare) Every time I play a game she asks me if It's Fallout, she really seems to like that game.

Just any scene including Tidus and Yuna in FFX, always felt awkward whenever the parents are in the same room and that happens, luckily the laughing scene wasn't one.

Parents walked in on the FF X laughing scene.

Ugh...
Sorry to hear that man, hope that never happens to anyone ever again.

Killzone 2 probably. My family have nothing against swearing, but I was sat playing, with mum at the dinner table, and every couple of seconds we'd have another one thrown out there for no reason. I was embarrassed even when she wasn't in the room, it was just ridiculous. Only time I've ever felt the need for a swear filter.

A few years ago. I was playing Killer 7, and the scene where Samantha was riding Harman came on, with my parents literally 9 feet to my right, going over last year's taxes.

It was...awkward

That interactive sex scene in Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in the US, but I don't think that version had that scene). Mom walked in on my 12 year-old brother playing it, then came to me asking what kind of game I had bought. Best thing was, I hadn't even gotten that far in the game, so I had no idea what she was talking about.

My grandpa (WWII veteran) walked in when I was playing the D-Day level for Call of Duty 2.

Dead silence for a full ten minutes.

I was once looking at Viva Piñata[/] for some mindless fun when I first got my 360 and the game was cheap as chips. My dad caught me looking at it and was like "Huh, look at that game. It's so gay, right son?"

"Uh, yeah dad. In fact, I wasn't even looking at it. I was looking at "Death-Fighter 900 - Return of the Scorpion Queen" that's next to it."

Then I hung my head in shame, for betraying my love of cuddly critters.

My dad always walks in when i'm being killed, also when I get saboteur, i'm sure there will be alot of awkward moments.
Don't worry, it's nowhere near as bad as you think.

The only problem I had was my mum was walking about downstairs when I started the game up (the first thing you see is a pair of nips) and I was convinced she was going to walk in and start interrogating me on it.

Please tell me you paused it as soon as you noticed?

My sister was swearing heavily when she couldn't find the last emerald shard on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle with Rouge. Dad walked by, but being the kind of guy he was, he just walked off laughing.

Whenever I play a Final Fantasy, I feel ashamed when my dad is nearby. XD
