The good thing is that my nan calls my playstation a playstation. The bad thing is that she also calls all the games playstations as well.

Just had a conversation about gaming with my dad last night. He says, "I don't lie it when you play those games too much its not good for you."
Me: "Well, dad, I have other interests than you did when you were a kid and its what people do these days. Plus gaming is a great social experience and its better for you than watching the same amount of TV."
I just think sometimes parents are jealous they didn't have this stuff when they were kids.

I play gears of war and gta and I laugh when people die get dismembered or fall off tall ledges but watch the news there are far worse things. Yeah if video games made you a killer we would have an insurmountable number of killers in the streets everyday. Plus humans are naturally violent so video games are a good way to outsource stress.

Thankfully, my parents were cool with me playing video games. And to this day, my dad will listen to me talk about whatever game I'm working on.

Have some pity. I had an original Atari, and I wasn't a kid (out of college and all). These poor parents had parents like them who wouldn't let them play. Sigh. It's not the age, it's the ignorance. Age is. Ignorance can be cures. Some good ideas there...

according to my parents, every time I play video games, my brain rots and I get stupider. Even being in one of the top classes at school, they still think that. Parents are very ignorant.'
"GTA IV has too much racism and nudity."
That's why its an M...

my dad's not too bad about this stuff (even though the blood in assassins creed makes him nauseuous LOL!!!), however my mom can be really anal about playing "too much", and assuming games rot my brain.
