What is it with parents and games?

Most of them see something against our hobbie and form of entertainment when some of them play games for themselves! I think Meka is for example.

You see, I would rather spend time playing on my latest game then talk to my mum about how work was. Maybe she sees them as unsocial as said in another topic.

Ok, I am mostly on my PC these days in my room and when I am playing my favourite games and chatting to mates she sees it as a crime that I am in my room alot! Arent most kids?

Anyway, do any of you have parent/games related storys you would like to tell?

I think my mate got chased round the house with a knife before by his Mum, maybe game realted.

My dad use to be a Crazy Taxi freak!

When he use to drop me off for school he use to say stuff like "Just doin my job" etc!

Very embrassing!

I think my mum played Virtua Tennis for a bit. Shes into tennis in "real life" and cos the controls are so easy so got into it for a couple of weeks. She tried Tony Hawks but that was a bit difficult, more than one button to remember you see?
