Never saw my dad play a video game in my life, mom played Tetris a couple of times but that's it. Non-gamer parents fail

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

Lmfao

was playing no more heroes at my dad's house which has a fair amount of swearing in it. my grandma was also visiting and she's very chill about that sorta thing

when starting each boss stage it announces their name and they say a quote. for speed buster she just goes "gently caress you, ya little prick!"

apparently this was a step too far and my dad stormed in yelling "RIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT NOW"

Lol. Reminds me of when I visited family in Ireland, my cousins put on Election and my uncle walked in right at the scene where Chris Klein was getting his dick sucked and went "Alright, let's not" and turned it off

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

Guerilla War kicks rear end

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.

Lol that's a cute story. That game does suck rear end though, iirc it has quizzes about environmentalism between levels

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.

Lmao

Space Pirate encrypted data decoded. Log 11.420.7 Pussy analysis continues to provide more questions than answers. Our research teams have isolated the energy conduit that runs from the exterior twin mandibles to the energy core in the creature's nucleus, but the manner in which a pussy actually extracts the life force from its prey remains an utter mystery. The victim loses only a tiny amount of non-vital fluids, and yet the pussy extracts energy; identifying this energy is our central problem. It takes no physical form, and yet without it, the victim experiences extreme lethargy and loss of focus, and may exhibit marked change in behavior in order to remain in close proximity to the creature. We will continue to research this matter, as the isolation of this life-giving essence could be the key to our ascendance.
