Poll: Ever turn someone into a gamer?

[Warped_Ghost]

I turned my little sister into a gamer when she still thought I was cool. (she was about 6)

Yea, got my sister into games aswell... even got her to get a job at gamestop to get me games cheaper. Ha.

Subsequently i've also had the opposite effect. I absolutely crushed 2 of my friends in halo... me going melee only of course to make it fair... 2 v 1 and after a few sessions of that they said f' video games lets go surf... so i got pretty good at surfing aswell.

It was sort of a joint effort between me and my dad, but I got my brother into games. He used to suck, like all small children do, but now he's scary good. He and his friends took home the top 3 spots in a fair-sized local tournament once.

Well...my dad. Because we had a Gameboy Colour and 1 game lying around. He tried it out and loves it. That game is Tetris.

I got my friend addicted to WoW if that counts.

 

[simplybushido]

A few of my friends are now happy gamers because of me.

Tried once, the person ended up losing to the Cat. Never really bothered trying after that.

 

[dududf]

My Dad.

He now plays games once a week, and has a top of the line PC computer that he only emails on.

 

[Vek]

My little brother, and many friends.

I managed to get my older sister hooked on Resistance 2 for the PS3...now she won't get off....she plays video games more than me now where before she hated them...

I also turned my dad on to reading and he has now read every single Harry Potter book and the Eragon books...

Damn I am good...I should be a pastor (jk)

 

[Shadow0Wolf]

Yep, my grandmother, who can still beat me at the odd game of bust-a-move (old N64 game)

 

[azncutthroat]

Friend from school. I hooked her to 360, then when she came over my friend hooked her on WoW. Then she spread the infection and hooked her sister on WoW.

Unfortunately, I never got to personally turn anyone into a gamer. I was just the guy who liked games back in elementary school when no-one else did, and now I'm just the guy who sucks at all the multiplayer games that are "cool" nowadays. *sigh*

I'm slowly converting my roommate one Mario Galaxy star at a time. Next thing you know she'll be fragging n00bs and who knows what else.

 

[tibnik]

Would turning people to stuff like Warhammer count? If so then yes I have, if not then no

 

[NEVRINx54]

both my lil bros

Well, no, but I am converting my dad into being interested in games. Before I got my PC, video games were bad and made people kill people.

Now he can watch me play Left 4 Dead 2 without saying "Where did we go wrong..."

In fact, now he wants me to let him play some games...
Let's put it this way, he probably can't, because he can't move in two directions at once. Like he presses down on the W key, then releases it, then the D key, then releases it, etc.
