Post funny things your parents have said to you about games

"This is becoming a sick obsession!" - my dear sweet mother in reference to my modding hobby

"Real...istic blood spattering. Nice." - my mother again, complimenting my skills

"You know, there was another item on the news about computer games, they still say they make people violent"

"They might make some people violent, but if you are influenced by video games you could be influenced by anything. Most of the people who bring this up are just parents looking for scapegoats and cash for their shitty parenting."

"Hmph, this guy is a professor, he knows what he's talking about. And they wouldn't show it on the news if it wasn't true"

"Wjat?"

[Duff-e]

during the playtesting for dod, it would go really late into the night (like 1-2am) which isnt that bad now, but i was in like 10th grade then so my parents would get mad and after awhile they thought i was a nazi because it was a ww2 game.....

Mom: "You want to work in video games?!"

Mom: "When are you going to get this video game thing off your brain?"

Dad: "It's your life. Do what you want."

Mom: "Look! I clipped these articles about video game industry from the newspaper!....Did they promote you yet?"

Mom: "When are they going to promote you?"

Mom: "Do they have stock? Will they give you stock options?"

I get those all the time from all my family

When I was a little tiny baby (a few years ago), me and a friend used to play alot of SNES. We used to rent this sidescrolling fighting game, which you walked through different levels and kicked some ass.

When we played this game at my friends house, his dad would look at it and say :

"What the fuck, this game is violent and stupid!! Return it to the store at once!!!"

If we played it at my house, my dad would look at it and say :

"What the fuck, his foot-movement isnt synced up with his actual movement speed, that's pretty silly".

good thing my parents never really complained about the games, it was rather a matter of me not getting out enough D;

same here, but what could I do ? My friends dont like going out, except for lans or to play some soccer (which I'm not a fan actually)

My mum is always saying I should go do something, but the only thing to do is drugs around here. So screw her!

What is this all about with moms clipping newspaper articles? Is it some kind of primeval instinct? I keep getting those placed on my desk as well.

"Now I'm really gonna trash all these computers!" - Mom, mad after an argue that wasn't related to computers/gaming/gamedesign at all ...

[DelaZ]

Dad :

You're really addicted you know? You should go out more. I don't say it to annoy you, but I care about you and I don't want you to spill you're whole life on a stupid machine.

You've spilled you're whole youth on your computer. All those wonderfull years wasted.

You're gonna lose your girlfriend if you continue like that!

I'm going to throw your computer trough the window!

You're really sick! Get off the PC!

Ohhhh.. Not again!

Please for the love of God!

My dad comes back from his work and asks to my mom were I am :

- Mom : Guess??

Dad (playing FS2004) : Hey check it out! I landed again! .. etc

Grandmother : I smell something burning? Are you sure the PC isn't getting to hot? If I were you I would turn it off... you never now. (excuse for getting me off my computer )
