Game moments you don't want a loved one walking in on

Brutal. Sexy. Wrong. Keep the door locked shut if you're playing any of these

I went to the toilet and left the credits on to Gears of War, and for some reason my mum walked into my vacant room. THIS IS MY KIND OF SHIT

what about the end of Finaly Fantasy X? or the death of aerith in VII? definitely don't want any loved ones walking in on you crying like a baby!

Ha, when I got Ninja Gaiden II, I decided to move it to the HDTV in the living room. And then my mom wanted to watch. I no longer own Ninja Gaiden II...

Imagine sitting in the living room, playing any game with some short skirts or giant busts (say Dead or Alive 2 or even Soul Calibur 3), and your dad constantly checking in on you saying “How’s your Japanese porn game going?”

Also, shanking a guard on a rooftop in Assassin’s Creed isn’t exactly mom friendly. “It’s crucial to the mission, mom. If you’re that squeamish then don’t look. Honestly, considering we watch Dexter every weekend, I don’t see what the problem is.”

Haha yea it always happens when somebody is half naked on the screen. Funny thing is that a survey says that the average MMO player is thinner than the average American.

I'm pretty sure anytime I play Unreal Tournament my mom gets uncomfortable. Especially since I normally have the volume turned up so "DOUBLE KILL", "HEADSHOT", "KILLING SPREE" reverberate around the house. I turned off the cursing, though, so I think that's what saved me.

lmao!!! I have THE best story for this,

I was reading THIS article, and my mom walked in and started talking to me when i was between the GTA Strip club part, and the Leisure Suit Larry part. She just looked at the screen and said "What are you looking at on there!?!?!?"

The irony was unbearable!! hahaha!!! Convincing her that i was reading an article on moments you don't want your parents walking in on was not easy to do

Final Fantasy IV (that's #2 in the U.S.) when Palom and Porom turn themselves to stone to save the rest of the party.

I cried when I was 6, the eyes still well-up today. If the wifey/mistress saw me bawling over two clumps of pixels I'd never recover from the embarrassment...

...and she'd get to go shopping whenever she wanted.

LOL the sex xcenes in god of war, when you're just about 15 blood orbs away from getting a new ability leveled up...yeah, nobody needs to walk in on that.

It's be something like-
"I'm not actually having 'sex' with them, i'm just beating them violently with my dick so I can get superpowers...wait."

First off,YAY first comment on this website :D!

Second:I've had A LOT of walk ins.I was bored once playing IV and decided to random get some love from a hooker.So I get one,go to a secluded area,and I decide to get the $70.Then my MOM walks in right when the girl says "Grab my titties now you ****!".I (luckily) convinced her to let me keep it.

Every time my girlfriend walked in the room during an overly dramatic cutscene in MGS she was like "Why are you playing this cheesy crap?" ... this made me realize that all of MGS story is indeed cheesy crap! Anyone who thinks otherwise - go read a book or two!

Actually I just remembered one more such moment. I was a kid and was playing Full Throttle - I was at the end credits and it played that weird country song. I was quite exalted by the ending and I was fully enjoying every bit of the game. Then my father walks in, hears the music and asks me "Do you like this crap music?" ... and I say "yes, yes it's quite cool!! Look, it's from this moment in the game when you meet this mechanic guy in his trailer..." ... Hearing that track again reminds me the shame!

The sex scene in GoW was a great one... had to mess up and run away so my mom didn't see. Also there's one in MGS4 with Johnny in a barrel having some bowel issues, great time for my mom to walk in on. Also my dad still teases me for playing Okami (no idea why) and how I shed a tear at the end of MGS4. Good times...

@iffo: MGS is no cheesier now than before, you've just been wipped...

how old are you guys? you let your parents deprive you of your own games? no matter how "wrong" a game is, they are private fraking property!
you bend by your parents views of right and wrong?
