Thank-you for the advice @korvus. :)

@Storm_Marine, he is not stubborn or oblivious to anything. I think he's just worried that some one could hack into our computers. I'll try to talk this through to him in a couple of days, we usually meet at the end of the day to go over school and other things. However, tonight and tomorrow night are movie nights so we won't be "meeting".

I respect his points of view and if he says no, it's no. Again, thank-you for the advice Korvus. :)

Hi gamers,

I'm a 14 year old male, raised in a Christian family. Last summer my parents let me build my own PC, they were both very supportive of the idea and my Dad seems quite proud of me. Anyway, since building it, I started looking into gaming. I have GTX 750ti GPU that I can't really use fully. I would like to start playing games like that new game Ubisoft was coming out with, I forgot what it was called, Planet Side 2, and Team Fortress 2. I think FPS would be a lot of fun!

However, in the past my Dad has been quite vocal on how he does not want us playing multiplayer games. I think he thinks that someone could hack us. He seems to be fine with other games, just not multiplayer games. I really, really want to play these games, but I'm afraid I won't be able to convince him that no one can hack you through a game. And the games can't be rated M, unless it's just for violence.

He is by all means NOT a gamer and I would be very, very surprised if he ever did get into the hobby. He doesn't like us spending a lot of time on the computer or iPad or Wii. But the thing is, they're homeschooling us and we hardly know anybody. And those that we know are in another town 45 minutes away! So as you may suspect, it gets really, really boring around here.

So, do any of you have any advice? Should I just present my "case" and see how things turn out or should I try to forget about multiplayer gaming and just try to find some fun single player games.

Thanks,

-Chuck
