While your on the PC does anyone having there Dad next to them going, "oh let me go on the PC, I need to defeat Genghis Kahn on Ages of the Empires". Or is your dear old nan shooting the Naboo Starships on Starwars starfighter on your PS2.

I know i have this problem, my Dad is addicted to Ages of Empires II. The game he got me for Christmas. I think he's going in a mental state as it's at my friends at the moment.

Did you know that it's a commen fact that the average game buyer is something like 25. It's true.

But the weirdest thing I've seen is this 78 year old lady playing on her grandsons Dreamcast. I found that so funny, she was quite good at it as well, and the thing that cracked me up was when she said. "I dont want to playonline as I feel i'm spoiling the youngsters fun."
Can you belive that, theres millions of people that go online, idont this one AOP on the net wont make a different.

How do you feel towards this subject, does your Mum shoot Zombies with a massive shotgun on Resiedent Evil when you go to bed. Or would you hate to see old people online.

Just feel free to leave a message. :)

Erm.

My parents don't use the computer, fortunatly for us all... they aren't into gaming, and can't seem to understand how much I like it, as the clichè goes, I suppose.

I probly like gaming so much 'cos I a can do something that i will never do in real life. I can shoot a Zombie in the head with a shotgun, I can play football against Real Madrid and i can Save the world shooting terorrists in the head.

Thats why gaming is so succsessful. :)

I got two PC's as well but one is broke. But heres a good tip if your Dad's gets annoying. Pretend to lend your game to a friend. And play on it when your Dad's out. Thats what I do. It works really well.

Go ahead, call me wicked :)
