"Listen to your parents!"

Parents are those really hip people that most of you share your house with. You know the ones, always trying to make you do things because 'it's for the best', the ones that make you cringe when they 'dance', and you are always trying to figure out why they aren't happy people in the mornings. (Understanding these things comes later, wait till you're a parent...)

It's now September, and offspring of the world should now unite in gearing up for the festive season and start dropping hints regarding possible presents. Clearly last year's Christmas campaign by moi was not a success as I got a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Blue in my Christmas stocking.

However, this year will be different as I've printed off a complete list of all those Dreamcast games that I'm missing from my collection and left copies of it in inconspicuous places around the house, like on top of the TV, on my mum's favourite chair, draped nonchalantly across the toilet seat, that kind of thing.

Knowing my mum though, she'll probably end up getting me Legend of Zelda for the N64...

So what about you? What is YOUR Christmas campaign going to be this year? Are you rooting for Conker's Bad Fur Day and going to get Fur Fighters? Are you gunning for Perfect Dark and going to end up with Digimon World? Do you keep asking for a shoot 'em up and getting told that drugs are bad for you?

In short, do your parents have a clue about your gaming desires or do they come out with comments like my mum's recent one: "Microsoft and Nintendo are bringing out their new Playstations soon..."

My parents are useless when it comes down to consoles, they now next to nothing! I'm getting a PS2 for Crimbo, I have got this one in the bag, my dad has given it the thumbs up already, just what to get with it and how many games I'll be getting with it is another question though!

My parent know nothing abou my gaming desires, i have to give them suttle hints about what i want.

By suttle i mean i have to tell them, many time what i want.

Are you a parent? If so, do your children scream for games? Do you let them go on the consoles or do you shout at them and tell them to get to bed, even if it is at 5 in the afternoon

I hate my parents. They shouted when I came in at 1:00 am. grrr, they think I'm about 6.
