Make Mum apparently when I was in my total youth, (young child) loved to control me. You know make sure I did everything she wanted.

But I have noticed over time since I have started to rebel against her rules and regulations she has become addicted to one certain type of gaming.

Not the typical Shoot em ups, beat em ups or RPGS.... but controlling games.

What are these you might say.... well think Sims, Harvest moon, Sim city and you'd be in the right general direction.

My theory is that she is starting to live in a virtual world because the real world doesn't suit her any more!

Sure these games are entertaining but I wouldn't really choose them against other genres of gaming.

She places them day and most of night. She's on leave at the moment... she started harvest moon two days ago and is on the last bit of the fifth year. Is this just obssesive or stupid.

I love gaming but nt 24/7!

I fear that if my computer blew up that to earn my pocket money I'd have to clean the house every day and feed my siblings... *simpsons shiver*!

Problem is she can't stand any other type of gaming.

CBFD: Too bloody

Delta Force: Too violence

Kirby's Dream course: Too cutesy

Pokemon: Too babyish

Zelda: Too set

Mario: Too comercialised

I mean come on... could my Mum become the next Sadam Hussain?

The world lives in fear tonight as the parents of the world are currently getting they're Sims to spawn, crops to grow and city's to develop.

We're apparently the world's saving generation and to tell the truth if our olds are gonna sit on their ar*es playing controlling Sims thinking back of the days gone past then we are the only hope.

On the other hand my Mum has become less strict and layedback.... I hopes it's from the games because I haven't found any bags of white powder round the house. :D AnywayI can get around her easier... but she doesn't pay any attention of my achievements.

I say place the first every age limit on games.... for under 30's only... heh!

That leads me to another point... there are all these kids moaning about games having unfair age boundaries... well what would happen if we turned the tables.

Imagine if you will... a couple of adults... say over 30's hanging on the street corner... smoking fags jingling money in their pockets. Suddenly a kid pops round the corner and the two men jump on the kid. Pinning the kid to the ground they get him to pop into the shop on the corner to get them the lastest copy of Resident evil... would there be a new law... shop assistants could get sacked and fined for selling games to over age adults... heh. :D
