Tell us stories of your parents/family and the video games. If you have a story from someone else's family that still involves video games, that's fine too.
Pic semi-related for me, as any games with "2-player" I tried to get my dad to play would always end up with this reaction from him.
My mom is in love with Earthbound and is beating the game for a second time as we speak.
>Playing any team based multiplayer game
>dad walks in
>"shoot him"
>but dad hes my tea-
>shoot him anyway
My brother and I used to play Sonic 2 with my dad sometimes. We'd both take turns being Tails. On top of that I'd sometimes watch him play Tomb Raider 1-3.
My mom and I beat Super Mario World together after we got a SNES. She was better at getting to the bosses and I was better at beating them.
My dad and I beat alttp a lot around that time as well. And much later my sister beat Paper Mario, TTYD, and Super Paper Mario together.

If my Dad ever sees me playing MGS, he stops to watch. He loves the kooky plot and characters (He's a Kubrick/Lynch fan). His favorite moments were thehe end of MGS2 whereyou're running around naked and getting calls from colonel and the first boss fight from MGS4 ( he actually got a jump scare, and we've watched hella horror movies and that rarely happens).

He played a whole load of vidya in his childhood but now he doesn't have the time for them. He respects the medium and let me play 18+ games from the age of around 5. He's cool.

I'll sum up my experiences with my dad by saying that he played Diablo 1 co-op with me when I was four and that he designed what's still the best Timesplitters 2 map on my memory card. My mom used to play N64 platformers and Rollercoaster Tycoon all the time. Neither of them really play video games now, but I bought my dad the new XCOM for Christmas last year and he stayed up until 2:00 am every night playing it until he went back to work after vacation.

We used to watch our stepdad play Tomb Raider 1 as well. Other games he's beaten include Doom and motherfucking Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! One of the hardest bosses in vidya history.

My dad would play Hitman Silent Assassin and CoD when we had the Gamecube, there was also one time he got addicted to Mario Kart for a couple of weeks. He hasn't played anything since we moved and I got my own TV though.
My mom's lucky if she can find the start button on the controller.

My oldest cousin by about 10 years had a n64 before all of us other cousins. Whenever we had family gatherings we'd take turns playing Ooc or Mario part in his room. The guy was such a bro about it. He'd probably like nothing more to hang out with his friends and GF but he'd give us about an hour or two of his time before he went out.i wish I had the courage to ask him about questions about love and life when I was a teen. Now that ship has sailed. He was he big brother I always wanted

She's seen me and all my brothers play games our whole lives, we've owned most consoles, but she never really payed any attention to it. I remember when I was little, playing A Link To The Past, she said to my dads friend: "I don't know how they do this so well" and chuckled.

I figured they would want me to play sonic, as I used to play Generations and Unleashed as a treat for them Saturday nights if they were good. They fucking love Sonic.
My parents are pretty casual but they love video games. My dad really likes shooters even though he's pretty terrible at them, he plays a lot of Battlefield 4 on his PS4 and at first spent most of his time waiting to shoot a Stinger or a SMAW at any vehicle that enters his line of sight. He's done a decent job of gitting gud since then, though, in my opinion.
Mom loves anything with zombies in it. My dad got her hooked playing Nazi Zombies on World At War ages ago, so much so they bought all the map packs just for the zombie levels. They'd get so into it they'd wake me up at like 2 in the morning to ask for strategies for whatever map they were on. They still play it today.
She loves the Telltale Walking Dead series, as well. Got a pretty good story out of her playing it, too. Spoilers for anyone who hasn't played Season 1 yet.

Me and Dad used to play doom one and xcom together. I miss dad.
>>268605321
My two older ones used to watch me play racing games and such, youngest has a huge kid boner for simulated violence, especially Serious Sam and such.
>>268602701
honestly I wish more games had the option of playing local multiplayer with just 1 cartridge.
by the time my kids start caring about online they should get a job to buy their goddamn games.
>Dad used to love Galaga and Wrecking Crew
>mom emulates shmupsShe has shit taste
>>268604832
Parents are always wrong. Us independent children, amirite anon? :^)
>>268605806
It would be nice, yeah. I have a few that are decent for local. I do worry a lot about them playing online. Not a place for little girls, you know?
>>268605287
>You read like me.
>>268600668
Isn't there a starfox story just like this? What is about having kids that make women wanna fuck animals?
>>268604939
no, you're a shithead and a retard.
stop blaming the slave children who built your phone
Dad started to be a huge nerd after he gave me a PS1. Since then, he buys almost every console that i buy as well.
He loves sony. He has a thing for japanese ladies. My dad will probably be the oldest person to ever become a weabo and this is great holy shit
>>268605998
nintendo's online features are such a joke that I wouldn't really worry about your little girls.
Direct interaction between players is impossible in most of their games.
>>268606115
you should go to japan, get him lots of a viagra and some high quality japanese whores
this is the least you could do for your father.
I've been able to get my dad into shooters somewhat.
The funny thing is, when he's playing he throws himself around the couch like he's trying to dodge the imaginary bullets. It's pretty hilarious to watch.
>>268605660
Both of mine are still toddlers, so I won't let them watch met play those games, mainly because I remember getting some serious nightmares from Doom.
I just enjoy the look of sheer joy they get when I boot up Sonic. Its so fucking satisfying.
>>268606310
Yeah, that's why I'm okay with the 3DSes, but the internet in general fucking scares me now that I have them running around.
>>268606582
My two oldest are 8 and the youngest is 6, he just loves the fucking violent stuff. Hasn't acted out or I'd cut him off from watching me. I only even let him because I played DOOM and such at a fairly young age. Plus Serious Sam can make the blood fairly goofy, like green, or rainbows, or stuff like that. It's really just a kid watching me use goofy guns to turn goofy aliens into goofy blood.
>>268606593
there should be a 4chan summer camp for kids to harden their skin before venturing to darker places in the Internet

>>268606873
I'm more worried about them ending up on whatever the new Stickam equivalent is. Part of why I don't own a webcam.
My dad still to this day kicks my ass at Soul Calibur. I have no clue how.
>>268606873
>touching is good
was that seriously their slogan?
>>268593823
>Dad loved video games
>was the person who got me interested in them
>we would always end up talking about them, or playing them and trying to figure out how to beat stuff
>there was a block buster not too far from where we lived, and right next to it was a chinese restaurant
>every 2 weeks friday night we had the same ritual
>a little while after he got home from work we would get in his truck, head to the Chinese food place and put in our order
>we went next door to block buster, and we would always pick out one game and one movie
>we would get our food, head home, and stay up late eating, watching movies, and playing video games
>rest of the weekend was spent trying to beat it as quickly as possible together, before we had to return the rental.
My entire childhood essentially revolved around waiting for that Friday.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh that's pretty trashy
>>268606845
That actually sounds fucking awesome. I just recently got into horror/violent games like the Walking Dead, Gears of War, and Alien: isolation, and my wife has gotten nightmares from each, so I obviously shouldn't let my kids watch it.still, I like knowing that I can play more family- friendly games and enjoy them, and have my kids enjoy them more than I do.
Seriously, they giggle and get so excited when I play a game they love. It's the fucking best thing in the world to them, so much that they can't contain it. It warms my heart every time I hear it.>>268606845

Mine love Smash Bros more than anything else, it seems like. Nice playing with them, but sometimes I just want a gorefest. Halloween is coming up, as an example, and I love to replay FEAR on Halloween. Can't this year since it's my turn to take the kids out.I might take the day after off so I can stay up late and play it.

That was just one story in regards to that cousin and vidya.

My dad plays Red Dead Redemption and Left 4 Dead 2. My mom use to play Animal Crossing gamecube when back when.

Grandma liked Super Mario Bros but never able to beat it. Grandpa still gambles and he likes card games and stuff on PC but not "true games". Also chess, he's played it since he was 10.
My mom played some Spyro during PS1 days. She actually beat Pokemon Red. Nowadays just plays Facebook games and stuff like that.
Got my dad to play with me couple of times as a kid. He played max 15 minutes and that was it, couldn't get him into games. Brother has gamed his entire life like me but our tastes are pretty different, he mostly plays online games and mostly on PC. Nowadays LOL, used to play Enemy Territory, Runescape etc. owns still an Xbox 360 but doesn't use it, used to play some COD and Halo.

I want to preface this by saying that I love my father and he is the best man I've ever known. Really made up for how awful the rest of the family was.
>1996, 10 years old
>I had been shoveling snow for one or two months and was house sitting for a family away on Christmas vacation back in 1995, saving up for a PS1
>I finally got it along with WipEout, Rayman, Tekken, and Resident Evil
>Just enjoyed it by myself for a few days, was going to invite friends over the next day
>Then my piece of shit older brother came into my room, he was 13 at the time
>I was playing Rayman
>He asked me what the fuck I was doing and said that it was fucking retarded
>He ripped out my PS1 and motherfucking broke it over my bedpost, grinning at me while doing it
>WHAT THE FUCK WHY YOU PIECE OF SHIT I'LL KILL YOU
>I flew into a goddamned rage and didn't care how immature I looked, I flew straight at him and started punching him as hard as possible on the floor
>All of a sudden my dad was pulling me off of him
>I told him how my brother came in and just broke my fucking PS1 that I had spent my own fucking earned money on
>He went off on my brother so furiously, it was glorious
>"You know why I believe him over you!? It's because this isn't the first time you've pulled shit like this! I have more trust in Anon than you. You can't have such blatant disrespect for another person's property. He worked hard to get that, I saw how hard he worked. And it was expensive. You're going to fucking pay for this and then some. For the next four months, you're going to be put to work replacing his console and buying him any games he wants, out of your own pocket. There are consequences for destroying another persons property. And if I so much as see you scratch something belonging to someone else, I'll sell everything you fucking own. Then I'll take that money and hold a party for everyone that you won't be invited to!"
And he didn't pull any more shit. Felt so good.

>Whenever I see her we go visit each others' New Leaf townshers is much nicer than mine
>Meanwhile dad hasn't touched a game since me and my brother forced him to in like 2004
There have been a few times when I really feel like he'd enjoy games if he tried them. He is super into sci-fi, and just anything with the least amount of time travel is amazing to him. I remember playing through Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time for the first time, and I happened to have theguidebookwith me. My dad sat next to me on the couch, picked it up, and asked me if the game was about time travel. I said yes, and he started reading the guidebook. And that was just a silly Mario and Luigi game. I'm sure there are tons of games with fuller sci-fi plots he'd go crazy for, but he's just too busyand now too oldto try.

> Started vidya with Amiga CD32
> Looked at him playing Tomb Raider 1/2/3, Shenmue, MGS 2 all the day and sometimes tried myself
> mfw he introduced me in vidya and offered me so much games. One special christmas i received a GBA from him with Wario Land 4 (didn't even heard of it) he bought one for him too to play with me.
> Our matches on Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast was amazing, especially with the Black Boss OP tennisman (secret one) we unlocked together.
> When he got the PS2 it was with Gran Turismo 3 and i enjoyed so much to watch him playing the round circuits 10 hours long he was like an idol for me.
> He had such a good taste in vidya so now i'm happy to had this chance but life has changed
> ~10 years ago he moved out with his girl and from that day it became like hard for us to pass time together. I used to live like 5 years ignoring him cause of that cause i didn't want to understand. 1 year ago he got a baby.
> I always thought he dropped the vidya from his life even if he had a PS3 he didn't play it for years.
> MFW MGS V GZ came out and remembered me such a lot of souvenirs but made me sad in the end. It's like my prefered vidya licence because of our plays. His birthday came out but as always didn't offer him anything. One week later he cale home to visit and i made him play Mario Kart 8 and i was stunned he enjoyed it. Introduce my will of offering him MGS GZ for his birthday and he told me that he would really like to play and said he misses vidya.

I was frustrated but I understood he just wanted to take a look to what I was playing. He played it then and a few times after, asking me for advice from time to time.
I just told him to get better.

My mom stole Unreal Championship from me because she heard one of the characters say "Shit"
I never got it back.
My dad would occasionally come into the room and watch me for a minute, then chuckle and walk away. Sometimes he would say "What's the appeal?" or ask me what the point of the game was.
I once got him to sit down and tryHalobut he couldn't figure out how to use the right thumbstick to look despite my explanations. He just ran around shooting at the sky or the ground, then gave up after 10 minutes or so.

My dad would team up with my sister and play 2v2 in halo and halo 2 whenever I had a friend stay the night. We would switch up teams when we eventually whipped their asses. He also had to beat this one level in Bubble Bobble for me whenever I got to it, I would call him down and he would beat it and go back to what he was doing.
My sister used to play everything with me. She was decent at smash, she loved paper mario and we beat the Halo1 co-op campaign together. We were brother and sister who would also get the opposite version of every pokemon game. I would always have to show her where to go, but I didnt mind it.
My mom never played, and took them away from me when I got bad grades, but she never berated me too hard for playing them a lot. She would be the one to take me to gamestop so I could buy what I wanted though, so I always appreciated her for that
Neither of them play anymore but Ill give them a shoutout for playing video games with me during my childhood. Thanks dad and Syd, you guys are pretty cool.

Well after about a year and a half of NEETdom (this is after I flunked out of community college) I managed to get a job due to family connections. It's not much better than being a NEET really, since it's part time and dead end. I transitioned from terrible depression into a mentality of just not really giving a fuck and trying to enjoy the things that mad me happy and just endure everything else. Hang in there, lil buddy.
>>268632987
You're much lcukier than me, i haven't been able to get a job in 5 years, no one wants me in the familythey all own land and had good jobsand i have the literel lowest grades the education system here offers

Oh boy do I know this feeling. They don't even pay me.

No offence to you anon, but wow what a bitch.
>>268630935
I... I'm sorry, Anon
>>268633157
Well shit, man. I suggest you talk to whatever family member seems to hate you the least and tell them you really want to start working, then ask for help with that. If they don't have useful connections, they might be able to convince another family member to help you out. My grades were total shit too. I only passed chemistry and physics because I cheated on everything, and in algebra my teacher talked to me after class on the last day and showed me that I was going to fail the class, then just added a couple points to my grade because they didn't want me there the next year.
I suggest applying at Fedex and UPS as a package handler. The job requires zero skill and they hire genuine retards. There's also an incredibly high washout rate because it sucks, so they always need new people.

Two years ahead of you, man. Kinda wishing I had joined the military straight out of HS.

So this dude didn't realize fifa was a videogame until after like 30 minutes of watching.

It's still possible to get a shitty edjamucation at a community college or something, they accept pretty much anyone who can pass the entrance tests. You could also go for a welding certificate or some other such thing that takes less than a year to earn and requires no real academics.

>Two years ahead of you, man
How bad is it?
>kinda wishing I had joined the military straight out of HS
The only difference would be that you'd be a /fit/ trained killing machine with no interest in vidya, who's possibly dead from durka's living out Muhammeds wet dream. The military isn't for guys like us anon. There's always a better way, and at least in this life you aren't being shot at by Isis or Taliban as wonder why the fuck you gave up civilian life for this. The military anons have taught me much.
You either regret your service and barely make it out, or you embrace it and become kinda douchey/really motivated at the cost of a touch of PTSD. War is hell.

Well like I said, I don't care too much at this point. I recognize it's really bad though. If I don't get my shit together in a year or so I'm probably going to get kicked out and then I'll really be fucked.

My momma didn't raise no fools. I would have joined the navy or something. No way I'm getting blown up in some desert.

Had a similar thing happen with my brother-in-law, but I was at the REX fight just before Grey Fox sacrifices himself.

My dad got me into vidya when I was a kid. One of my first memories is of playing Sonic with him when I was too young to use the controller, so he sat me on his lap and had me jump while he used the D-Pad. He spent a ton of time in the arcades when he was a kid himself, but he never really transitioned into modern gaming.
Last Christmas I put some new hardware in my old gaming rig, and gave it to him along with Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. He's just about %100 it now. He says he doesn't want to get another game until he finishes this one.
That's actually the same computer I taught my mom how to pirate movies on, and I got her a DVD player with a USB port so she's been watching every slasher movie ever made for the last few months.
>>268621178
Get him Elite Dangerous, Alien Isolation, and some of the other space games coming out. It got me back into playing video games again.
My mom played Mario Party with me growing up. She was actually pretty good at spinning the control stick, especially for the Fly Guy wind-up game inside the mini game house.
She also played Animal Crossing: City Folk for a while one time. She even earned up enough Bells to buy one of the entire series from Gracie's (whichever the blue one was). If I had to guess, Animal Crossing's probably one of her favorite games.I don't know what my Dad plays because I've never met him.

Motherfucker you need to take him out for a nice steak dinner, buy him a bottle of scotch, and then paint the town red. If the evening doesn't end with you two covered in vomit and imprisoned, you have failed as a son.
