Gaming Families, Are You In One?

[sXeLifer]

Not really, my little brothers and I all have 360's and my Girlfriend will play Xbox with me at her house but my mum and dad despise it, "go and get a second job" bleh bleh bleh im a student its a written rule that we're supposed to fuck all more than the bare minimum required.

 

[AWAR]

My mom is a technophobe and my dad uses his pc for "work", even my brother doesn't game

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

My sister and my Dad game, though we don't live in the same house.

No, not at all. My brother has been curious about them, but only played odd game (Legend of Legaia on PS1) and my parents never played with random Christmas day exception of Mario Kart or Crazy Taxi.

I think gamer families will come about more and more over next 20-30 years.

My stepbrothers play games, but my older stepbrother usually sticks to Pokemon. As for my mom and step dad, ha! Don't make me laugh. I have tried to get them into games, but it never works. It takes too long to explain the controls to them, and they always give up after 5 minutes and go do something else. But, I will not give up, damn it.

Not really. My brother is kind of addicted (or he was ) to Runescape and some crappy online shooter called Soldier Front, but other than that, I'm pretty much the only gamer.

Well my wife plays MMOs. I play consoles. And my daughter is always going after my controllers (she is 1) and will watch any game that is in first person (she really enjoyed FEAR 2).

Nobody in my house is intrested in gaming. They consider it a waste of time.

I would say 'same' here, but I'm the only one in my family to keep up with gaming. I have relatives that do game, but I'm the biggest one.

My aunt got into the sims for a while.
My cousin used to play zelda and rollercoaster tycoon, but now doesn't.
My cousin stephen plays on a PS3, but doesn't have many games.
My father likes Mario Kart and the original Alone in the Dark, but that's about it.
And several members of my family will play flash, browser, and casual games (my aunt/uncle own a Wii).

I for one, collect old systems, have about a dozen...
Old games, have about a hundred or so...
And still consistently play them.
Plus, I keep my graphics card up to date, and have both a Wii and DS.
And am going to TRY and get a PS3 soon.

My mom doesnt say a word about games
My step dad keeps telling me and my brother we're wasting our lives doing something like gaming when we should be out "Having Fun"
My brother plays games
My uncle plays games
Thats about it.

My sister games, and my father used to play games in the DOS age. He is the reason I'm creeped out by pixelated things.

Hilariously enough, I've been forcing myself to play some of his old games, like Tomb Raider, and realise that he was absolutely terrible at them. No wonder I'm haunted by so many different deaths in Tomb Raider; he died at every turn!

Now I just wish he was addicted to WoW, or really anything more respectable than what he does now.

 

[ActionDan]

My mum played a lot of Pacman in her youth, And my Mum and Dad are keen players of Space Invaders for the PS1. Although recently. I got my dad into playing TF2, he used to play a lot of Guild Wars before that.

 

[Nyan Cat]

Well, my dad plays games. A lot. He has logged 700+ hours on BC2 online. So, yeah, I guess so.

 

[Reep]

my dad sometimes plays bejewled and online poker in addition to actual poker, me and my brother are about the same level as eachother, my mum doesnt touch them at all

 

[child of lileth]

My dad used to play Mario 3 with me when I was little. My mom played NES a little way back then too. They both stopped soon after.

 

[Julianking93]

My mom loves Nintendo and survival horror games like Donkey Kong, Super Smash Brothers, Zelda, Silent Hill, RE4 and even Doom.

My dad will occasionally play some of my PS2/PS3 games. He likes FPS's, action/adventure and sci fi games. Currently, he plays Demon's Souls, Killzone 2, inFamous and Dead Space.

So even though they won't admit it, they do like it.

 

[Yureina]

Yes. Most of them play games to some degree. The thing is... they are all "casual" type gamers, playing stuff like Guitar Hero or other similar color matching games, whereas I am basically the only person who digs into the RPG's or strategy games.

 

[dex-dex]

my bro and i are into gaming and my mum is willing to play games like tetris but my dad will have nothing to do with them

also my parents already knew i was a tomboy and there was no way to reason so they just accepted it
