Times when... you + parents + gaming = embarassment.

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

My 10-year old sister will occasionally watch me play my 360, which can be quite awkward when I'm playing Gears of War 2, GTA IV, etc.

Random Phone call.

Mom: Hey Son.
Me: Hey mom.
Mom: What are you doing?
Me: Playing Borderlands.
Mom: You having fun?
Me: Yes.
Mom: You killing everything that tries to shoot you?
Me: Uh.... Yes.....
Mom: Keep up the good work.
Me: Sure....
Mom: Did you find the boat?
Me: What boat?
Mom: Go to Tracher's Landing. You'll find it.

15 Minutes Later - Phone call back
Mom: Yes son?
Me: The fuck did you know that?

Quit holding out on us, man. How did she know?

I don't know. Even to this day. She's done it before!

Fallout 3 : Takoma Park Location
Brawl: How to unlock Toon Link

She's scary how she knows and she doesn't play.

My mom!: Telling me stuff she should have no clue how to do since the days of Fonking Fallout 2!

 

[Nwabudike Morgan]

Easily the time when I was seven, had friends over, and tried to teach my mom how to play Contra. Words just fail.

 

[dehawaiiansupaman]

My grandpa (WWII veteran) walked in when I was playing the D-Day level for Call of Duty 2.

Dead silence for a full ten minutes.

Please tell me you paused it as soon as you noticed?

Yeah and quickly decided to change games and never plan any shooters when he was in town. Ever.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Eh.

My parents don't bother me much when i'm playing games and reading so i have nothing to input.

 

[hotdogoctopus]

I was once looking at Viva Piñata for some mindless fun when I first got my 360 and the game was cheap as chips. My dad caught me looking at it and was like "Huh, look at that game. It's so gay, right son?"

"Uh, yeah dad. In fact, I wasn't even looking at it. I was looking at "Death-Fighter 900 - Return of the Scorpion Queen" that's next to it."

Then I hung my head in shame, for betraying my love of cuddly critters.

You sold them out. And somewhere they know it.

 

[TOGSolid]

Actually, I've never really had this issue. The closest related story I have is years and years ago when I was playing Tie Fighter. My mom tried to watch me for a minute and had to stop because she was getting motion sick. I lol'd heartily.

 

[mrhappyface]

"No, no, no dad! Don't stand in front of Wesker with the Sniper Rifle!! Not his head, His heart! Goddamit, i lost at least 7000 dollars worth of Healing Spray. No! Switch to your machine gun! Machine gun, not pistol!" This was at my birthday party.

 

[NotAPie]

My mom walked into my room when the opening to GTA 4 was playing.
She slapped me over the head.
Seriously, The fuck was with that spanking scene in the intro?

 

[Jammerz]

"No, no, no dad! Don't stand in front of Wesker with the Sniper Rifle!! Not his head, His heart! Goddamit, i lost at least 7000 dollars worth of Healing Spray. No! Switch to your machine gun! Machine gun, not pistol!" This was at my birthday party.

Oh my God!, I couldn't stop laughing!

 

[Firenz]

When I was still living in the wonderful comforts of my parents home my father walked in to see what I was playing. Rather than the strategic joys of one of the Paradox games, or even the old-school games that he used to play as well, I was playing GTA San Andreas.

My mission appears in the subtitles.....

"Go beat up the crack dealer"

Ah the joys of virtual antisocial behavior.

 

[Poofs]

seeing my dad cuss out a twelve year old on xbox live
i didnt need to see that

 

[LeonLethality]

Parents walked in on the FF X laughing scene.

Ugh...

thats nothing my parents walked in on the X-2 Leblanc massage scene... HAVE YOU HEARD THE SOUNDS SHE MAKES?!

 

[fanozelda9]

Losing to my dad at Mario Kart 64 while he was playing as Peach. That and a lack of funds prevented me from buying Mario Kart Double Dash or Wii

Im on a boat and
its going fast and
I got a nautical themed pashmina Afghan
Im the king of the world on a boat like Leo

Yeah I couldn't believe there is actually an achievement based on that song ("you're on a boat!"), when you unlock it it the description is T-Pain's line: "bet you never thought you would be on a boat!"
Borderlands is pretty damn good!

For me it was the terrible realisation that dad had not even passed bootcamp on halo 3 multiplayer
terrible, terrible times!

 

[Rhymenoceros]

When your 14 and you realise that it was your DAD who let you but GTA. It can be embarassing when your Mum walks in on your either having sex with a hooker or crushing people into walls with a taxi

Two years ago.

My Dad owns the hell out of me in Brawl.

With Ness. And me as Snake.

LAWL LAWL

god im jealous...

my dad can still beat my ass in any sports game there is, and the rubix cube, but he tried to play mw2 with me and i had insto headshots galore on him and man he was pissed, saying i was cheating

my mom one time walked by on kingdom hearts 1 during one the super emo (still like em) video moments and she goes "what the hell, what are you playing with goofy and donald on it? a 4 year olds game?" and of course with a rasberry red face i say "noooooooo, ITS A GOOD GAME GET OUT GODDDD!"

another time i was playin ffXII and i was setting up the gambit glitch with that ghost and how it spawned zombies and my mom walked by and said "what hte fuck is this game doing? why is it playing by itself" and i go "because i set it up to do that" and she goes "wtf is the point of that? you buy a game and then have it play by itself.?!@#?!@" and i responded "BECAUSE I NEEDS MORE LEVELS! DONT JUDGE MY SKILLS!" and she walked out looking ashamed of my hobbies lol

Parents:ME sex

Friends cousin:Walks in room when the butcher on re5 gets [spolier]his head chopped off[/spoiler] plus the curtains where drawn/no light/death metal blaring.She ran for it.

 

[Ekonk]

*DOOR BURSTS OPEN*
ARE YOU WINNING SON?!

.. its the menu screen, Dad....

I lol'ed.

OT: Everytime their is some kind of gruesome death in the game I can feel my parents disapproval burning in my back. Still, my dad likes racing games. So WipeOut HD is kind of awesome in splitscreen. And my mom thinks the setting of Assassin's Creed II is pretty slick.
