Mine are. Even though I do indeed have a life; I go to a university, have good grades, and work most of the time. My parents still think video games are for little childs. I'm just about done arguing with the since they always come up with a new reason to hate video games. Whenever I'm playing FPS's they always tell me I should join the army. Are you guys experiencing the same?
My parents were fairly supportive. I had gamer friends who were pretty good people. My parents figured that I could have been spending the money on drugs or alcohol if it wasn't on games. I mean, they know I wasn't that kind of kid, but still.
No, not really. I mean, my mom always curses my gaming consoles, because I might waste my time, but they never actually banned me from playing. They aren't considered against gaming, but I'm sure they would prefer if I didn't waste my money. Blah. I don't care.
My dad is pretty much supportive aslong as I don't sit glued to a game all the time, he's even started to play games himself. My mom though, less supportive.
My mother never had an issue with it. Same as with Muthsera666,if she knew I was doing that she knew where I was. And I grew up kind of rough so it was helpfull to her to know where I was,so she not only supported it but helped me finance the hobby.
My mom has a little problem with gaming. When I played Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC, she thought that I might do the same thing one day. My dad loves gaming as much as me, though.
They're not really against it, but I've usually made the right decisions about my hobbies in the past so they're usually fine with what ever. (Work before play)
my dad plays some games every once in awhile, my Step mom on the other hand is a super christian alcoholic ex drug user who thinks the world revolves around her (she calls herself the Queen) and she thinks I am addicted to video games the same way she used to be with drugs -_-
no, my mom is actually very supportive of my love of gaming. she is even cool with(if not glad) that i am pursuing a game design career. maybe she thinks ill make her rich one day or something. oh and my html is not verry good can someone help lol
Well I am mum so I think its safe to say I dont mind the kids gaming, only time I but in is on the odd occasion they want to spend the entire day and night playing which is not good, I spend a LOT of time playing but regularly sitting around playing all day and night isnt a good thing, everything has to have a good balance so when I think they're playing too much I just take us out for a long walk to get some air in our lungs :)
Mine are against but I moved out a long time ago so I don't care:P I find it funny though. They are sure that playing games is a waste of time and money while they do watch some kind of daily soap opera with a horrible actors and even worse storyline.
My dad has a commodore 64 before I was born, and got the nes a little bit after. If it wasnt for him, I never would have gotten into gaming. He was big into it in the early days, but work kinda got in the way for him. He enjoys Tiger Woods on the 360, Peggle, CoD and GTA: CW amongst other things on the DS. It probably helps that my uncle games, and we've been seeing more of them lately.
As for my mum, shes enjoyed stuff before. Loved a bit of Tetris and Open Tour Golf on the NES :P Think its a bit too complicated for her now, though she doesnt have any problems with me playing. Hell, they fund the "addiction" most of the time ;)
I don't know really. Sometimes they are and other times they aren't. My dad seems excited that I want to go into game design, but other times it seems that he sees it as waste of time. I guess my mom tries to be supportive of stuff like that, but she really doesn't like me playing games, unless absolutely nothing else could be being done instead.
My parents don't mind, I live on my own anyway. They know that gaming helps me with fighting my disability and that it's better than if I were a heavy drinker, smoker or doing drugs. All they ask is that I don't game too long every day and focus on other things, which I do anyway. I can't game all day even if I wanted to, I always look for other things to do.
No. They don't care, not even the kind of game me and my brothers play. My brothers played GTA III when they were 9 and 7 respectively, and my parents didn't care.
Nope they aren't. Only ignorant people would be againt gaming. Naruto
Not sure I can agree. Most last-gen people don't understand gaming and see them as a threat, if anything it shows their protective nature if they are against games.
Yeah, most parents are like that. Sure we are not suppose to play overnight, but, seriously it is up to us. I know I made a bad move overnight and I would rather accept my mistake myself rather than them blah blah blah. Because I know I am not dumb, so, I don't need them baby sitting. I know it is a hard to control addiction, but I am the one responsible to control it, not them. Luckily after I graduated from college, they finally let loose their control.magicalclick
I was in the same situation as you and hopefully after I graduate from college with a Aerospace Engineering degree they wouldn't care if I game in my spare time.
They flip-flop on the subject a lot. Sometimes my Dad seems like he likes games and then the next minute he'll be having a go at me for 'always being glued to my TV' even though I've only played about 2 hours that week.
I'm not sure at all. They could really care less for it. They think it's goofy and for kids. I don't know, I've moved out since then. That was a few years ago when I still lived with them :P.
Same here. I actually understand them, and I can't imagine myself trying to convince them that there are actually interesting storylines and things like those in games. They would laugh their ***es off.
