Good thing my dad plays videogames himself, but he always prefer game that are about shooting zombies or stuff like that, he ain't too fond of GTA though. XD
At least he only calls my DS a gameboy, he knows that the other thing is a PS2 of course. And he's the one who arranges our computer so we can play game.
A few years back, my grandma, who is completely and totally oblivious to the march of technology (although she never buys me the wrong games, so that's good), would always call my GameCube "PlayCube." Then one time she took it one step further and called my GBA "Playboy."
That reminds me of the time when I tried to teach my mom to play Guitar Hero 2. My mom actually FAILED the tutorial. You're saying, "that's impossible!" but it's not. The game was eventually like, "okay, you're failing so much that we'll just cut to the next part to save you from further embarrassment." It was very funny. VERY funny. Although my mom can do Wii bowling now, so that's a start. (heck, she beats me in it... :/ )
I remember a while back my mum complaining of violence in splinter cell.
"OMG you killed him, turn that off!"
"but it was an aerofoil round, he isn't dead!"
"you can't fool me, get off"
...and then she found out about GTA
this is so my mother she says to me: thats a bit violent,your addicted to that thing,saying that if i put as much time into home work or conentrated on my school work as much as i did my playstation.my grandad use to even call me fat because i didn't exercise. he even still calls me unfit :(

and when i was playing on oblivion and i went to kill Rufio to get into the dark brotherhood,my mam was in the room and she saw me kill him while he was sleeping and she said that "you could have left him alone he wasn't doing anything and you just killed him!" and i tryed explaining to her that it wasn't real and i had to kill him.
my mum is actually not too bad about gaming as she understands the basics (difference between 360 and ps1, that i dont really want to lose rank because i quit during matchmaking etc) although she doesent like me playing games of an older age rating without understand roughly why it got that rating.
my dad doesent understand any of it and wont listen then when i try to explain either
1)haz a rant about it i.e why do u always play these violent games about guns when its the mirrors edge demo, then when i try to explain that actually those are just cops with guns and its a game about running and jumping, he gets annoyed that i am a criminal :(
2) just goes ssssssssh every time i speak until i get so frustrated that i either stop talking and leave the room or ask him not to ssssssh me in which case he starts patronising me with stuff like "you do get stressed sometimes dont u" yes, by you! and then when i say im frustrated because ure ssssh'ing me he gets annoyed and makes me turn the 360 off for being so "rude" lol :)
My parents are mega anti-game freaks.
I can't get God Of War or [Prototype] without the help of an 18-year old friend because they say "that's hideous" or "completely out of the question"
My favourite one was when they removed my PS3 from my room and put it in a cupboard.
Being the smart-ass that I am, I plugged it in on the plasma downstairs and played the goriest game I had until they came home.
As an added "up yours" factor, I hid their SCART cable. :)
