How can i convince my mom, that video games arent as bad as media say it is.

5. Talk to her about what's going on in your life besides gaming, but including gaming. Show her games you think she might like based on her interests. Talk to her about which games you like and which ones have disappointed you and - especially - why, so she sees you can evaluate games wisely. Tell her your plans for making more goldwhich shows you have a grasp of economics. Tell her how another game has used Greek mythology or some period in history which you're studying in school. If you pay your dues, so to speak, by communicating with her once in a while, she will likely relax and back off because she'll see the benefits of gaming in your life.Purdicus

This is a fantastic point. If I were a teacher, I would use video games as a teaching method. I haven't been in school in over a decade, and I can say playing MMORPG's has taught me FAR more about economics than any high school class ever did. Such as time, process, and cost of obtaining raw material, cost of manufacturing raw material into a desired item, how to price items to make a profit based on supply and demand, as well as learning how individuals manipulate and monopolize certain markets.

Playing the Assassins Creed games inspired me to watch several documentaries about the Crusades, Knights Templar, and The Renaissance. As well as read many Wikipedia articles about them. Which in turn gave me an idea to incorporate the Templar's (using real life information about them) into a fiction novel I'm writing.

All because I play video games. :)

I have a similar problem. but not with my mum, with mu girlfriend...

When im sitting on the forum, or have a gaming time for 1 hour or 2 she flip's

She wants me to focus more on book's, classical films, classical music, she don't like me listening to rock or metal, she actually told me that if I ever buy a single game again she will leave me?!

I barly play anymore beacuse of her atm, before i played maybe 2 hours 2-3 time a day, when I had my own time, but instead she got angry about that, that im not open minded, and I will be like the comic guy in simpsons.....

Why can't a hard working man do what he enjoys without to be call that your a child for playing a game consols?

Don't what to do tbh...

Any woman who tries to make her boyfriend/fiance/husband be someone they are not, then she has no business having any sort of relationship. Might sound harsh, but that's the truth.
