Your Parents view on a Game you were Playing

My mother hates games so I try not to play them around her, one interesting story is when I was when I was in a Dungeon in Guild Wars:EoTN with a friend. She told me to "Get off that and go study for your exams!" and I replied "For god sake woman! If I don't do this these poor dwarves will die?Do you WANT to be blamed for the end of the dwarven race?".
In retrospect she was right.

My parents don't say much when it comes to the games I play, my GF however got incredibly addicted to some of the Nintendo DS games I play, so now she's stolen my NDS and I can't play it anymore 
My mum doesn't care and my dad finds it hilarious when I run over people on GTA so no one in my house cares about how violent videogames are.
Mother: "Uch, that looks like a horrible game."
Me: "It's a Zombie game, what the fuck do you expect."

bonny means handsome ... which could mean cute too i guess so just ignore me hahaIsoNeko said:
eh my parents dont care really
if im playing GT5 or Fifa it catches my dads eye for 5 or so mins infact when we were gettin GTA my dad would play it first to see if it was suitable for us since we were underaged was a big moment of my life turning 18 and being able to go get the game instead of havin to persuade my dad to come buy a game he could care less about
my mum however is harder to please but she was happier when i actually explained to her what the story was about and its not just a game that rewards killings ... misslead by what she heard on the news
but yeah they really dont care anymore
I know my mom reacted adversely to the Resident Evil remake on Gamecube when it first came out, and I was able to convince both of them to play Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire and at least try out JSRF. Other than that, they pretty much leave the whole gaming thing alone unless its flight simulators (dad) or PC games like solitaire (mom). My mom loves Space Invaders, though.
when ever I am bored and just wanna play a game to run around in I pick GTA IV and Assassins Creed
I am still with my dad, until Summer then I get my own place, and whenever I am playing something like this he stops to look on occasion and will say something like: "You need to slow that horse down, you are gonna hit those people... you can jump off? Aww look now they are gonna fight you.. You don't need to kill them.." or for GTA IV: car explosions, gunshots, and me cursing all at the same time; "...now why can't he have an office job?"
my mother was cool with all games
but they have both said at at least one point in time: "Now if you spent as much time studying as you did playing games..."

My mom will usually sit next to or near me when I pay games. She said that she is interested in them and wants to watch me play. She usually makes funny comments about the games.
For Example: I was playing Fallout 3 and I showed her the MIRV and when I used it she laughed. So later on when a super mutant showed up I was using the flamer and she said "No don't kill it with that use the gun that made the big explosion." My moms Japanese so she saids everything with a slight accent. It was very funny.
My dad on the other hand could care less.

Indeed he is; he is not at all fazed by violence, rather, he enjoys it.Sombra Negra said:

My parents don't understand gaming. Except for some stuff on the Wii.
Up until I moved out to go to high school (a private boarding school) movies and games that had ANY language, or even the tiniest bit of violence over the level of Wind Waker (which is the only game we had at the time that I played) were "prohibited". My dad got pissed once because I downloaded the Jedi Knight 2 demo on MY OWN, laptop to see how much better it ran compared to our old machine....which is odd since the JKII violence is about as much as they have in WW.....He also took a Bond FPS game for the gamecube that I got as a christmas gift (from my Grandma no less!) and sold it on eBay because it was a shooter.
Fortunately I was introduced to GTA3 shortly after arriving at the boarding school and haven't turned back since. I always had to hide the higher rated games when I was at home, and once they moved up to the town the school was in it was difficult, but I got by. Now I live on my own and can do whatever the hell I want, so it's great. They know I game, but they finally figured out that they can't do anything about it.

Heh, neither of my parents are interested in games, which is a shame, i believe.
My mum let me play GTA Vice City when i was 4, so i don't think she objects to much, and she bought me GTA 4(technically shouldn't it be GTA 6?) last Christmas.
My dad jokes often about or imitates the explosion sounds in Halo 3.

My mom doesn't like when I play violent games, but otherwise she doesn't really care. My dad will watch for a little while and go "pew pew pew" when I'm shooting things, but he doesn't care much either.
My da watches me play sometimes and comments on the graphics and such and my ma just sorta leaves me alone when I'm gaming...usually. Neither of them really care about the games I play.
