My son (Brain cycles through moments where I applauded him on his Technical Proclivity's, his relative Intelligence to all the other dad's stupid rear end kid's, his independent world view, me and him being able to talk frankly to each other in a way probably deeper than, hell, most people at the bar or something, just think we can sit here and talk about Quantum Theory or whatever my Brillian son read from Michio Kaku last month and most people are just like, wow it's blowing there minds) plays Elder Scroll Online and posts his character's role playing backstories to people who don't actually read them, in a subforum of a forum where hapless adult men stumble over there own brains discussing one of the most useless activities in the world.

Michio Kaku is a shallow media whore and if you truly care nothing about your Elder Scrolls characters' backstories then so are you probably

She used to play cool games like Castlevanias 1-4, Legend of Zelda, Tetris Attack, Dr. Mario... Goddamn, I've never known anybody who could even come close to my mom in Dr. Mario. She'd start on Lvl 20, high speed, and make it another 15-20 levels past that. I think 42 may have been her best but I can't remember. All I remember is how amazed I always was that she could do that. Tetris, too, just a beast at puzzle games.


Yeah...and now mom's desktop is littered with games with the word Saga inappropriately appended to the end of the title. :sigh:


And my final point: Game Gear owned except for the lovely game selection.

Same. She's always been pretty bad at games except for Tetris or any Tetris-clone at which point she turns into some kind of master. :psyduck:

my dad played wow and max leveled a hunter without doing any quests

my dad used to play a lot of games. now he only gets into Bethesda stuff. dude spent a shitload of time on Skyrim, letting the xbox run while he did dishes so he could shoot fireballs at the giant he trapped in a doorway when he went through the room.

High-functioning otaku.
My dad used to play Ogre Battle 64 Warcraft 2 on PSX. He also told me what items to buy when I was playing JRPGs cause I sucked at budgeting my money.

Now he just plays the shareware texas hold em garbage that you see on that CD rack in the checkout line at Walgreens. My mom plays a similarly off-brand farmville clone.

Wow. Way to hog the gaming from your own flesh and blood. You have serious problems and I question how much of a true gamer you are.

Your dad has pretty much lived a successful life to be at that point. Like, drat what a good retirement.
