one of my earliest memories is playing Guerilla Warfare with my dad on the NES he got by selling matchbox cars. whenever he drove me to school on a friday it was a coin flip if i would just play hooky and he would call in sick to work and we would go to the arcade instead. young gaming parents ftw

Me and my buddy were taking turns playing RE4 in the living room one time and my dad came in and was watching the game too without us realizing. At some point one of us died and suddenly my dad very loudly said "oh! that's so pwned!" We just looked back at him and didn't say anything and then kept playing lmao

lol sweet

My dad got so mad at me for beating him in Battletanx: Global Assault that he took the N64 to Jakarta the next time he went to work and "lost" it

He kept using the motorcycle tank and I kept ramming him with the hovertank, which was cheating apparently

lol reminds me of playing my dad and uncle in mario kart 64 and neither of them cared about winning and just spent the entire race throwing shells at each other but they wouldn't play battle mode because they knew a child would demolish them if he wasnt distracted by the race

My mom had some weird hang ups about video games mostly being a boy activity so our family video game collection was curated by my brother. When they divorced my dad got a playstation and bought me a copy of Crash Bandicoot and Monster Rancher. It was the first time any games were bought thoughtfully with me in mind. I was obsessed and I wouldn't shut up about how magical it was that I could offer my dad's Metallica cd or whatever to the game and generate a new monster.

I remember coming home from a visit with my dad and my mom smugly presenting me with a game for our sega console that she choose 'just for me' and it was a game called Awesome Possum Kick's Dr Machino's Butt. I don't know if I was more excited that my mother got me, her darling girl, a game of my own or that the game title held the forbidden word 'butt'. It was a bad game but a big moment for me.

this rules and im happy for you

in 5th grade I went over to a friends house for their birthday party, and a kid brought a whole PS2 with gta3 in it. we were all marveling at it, bday kid's mom walks in and says "Wow, look at those graphics!"

the kid with the ps2 goes "yeah watch this" and pulls out a bat and beats a random woman to death and sprays blood everywhere. the mom shrieks NOOO and literally loving yanks the ps2 out of the wall and rips out all the cables, and then called every single persons parents to tell them about this while yelling at us between calls

she tried to go on the no violence tangent with my mom, who just said "es un juego, tu eres boba?" (its just a game are you stupid?) and I was never allowed in that house again.

lmfao
