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

[Deleted]

When I play any shooting game my mother asks me why I can't just talk to the enemies instead of randomly shooting people, and that me playing this will make me a killer overnight. :/

Playing some Naruto fighting game, the CPU was naruto and used a move that turns him into a hot naked girl (game-wise its a counter attack, doesn't make sense to me either) and my mother concluded that the focus of the whole game was those 2 seconds, so I had to return the game.

Mum walked in while I was playing CoD4: asked how the game was, I replied 'awesome' and told her about the storyline. Then onto the cut scene of the nuclear blast and you crawling out of the chopper past all your burnt up buddies.
Now, my mum is a buddhist so you can imagine her reaction! - Backed out of the room slowly.

The worst was when my step dad came in to see me screaming at the tv with much glee and laughing hysterically while shooting africans (Resident Evil 5) - now, did I metion he is black....

The closest I've come to embaressing was at the end of Uncharted 2 when

Spoiler

Lazaroveic gets beaten to a pulp by like 6 of those purple zombie gorillas while screaming in pain and fear

Hahaha, my ex's mom came over to visit and she saw the fallout 3 scene when I blew up megaton and said, "ahh the inevitable future." And being that she was a child of the cold war, it made me lol inappropriately hard.

Some of the songs from the rock band/guitar hero series are pretty embarassing to sing. Rebel girl in particular. And my mom says that when I sing "Down with the Sickness" I sound like a parrot choking

Playing God of War during the cut scene where Kratos is on the boat with the topless girls with your Mom in the room.

And the winner for Best Embarassing Moment In Public Created By A Parent is ...

I was in a game shop with my mum, playing Schism or w/e on Guitar Hero: World Tour on the thingy, when it first game out...

she wasnt paying much attention most of the time, but when she eventually did... you know what she said..?

"You could probably do a lot with those fingers..."

then there was this horrid sort of very quiet, syncronised giggle throughout the room...
looking at it now, its probably that giggle that made it bad
but its always real nice to have your mother accidentally talk to you about fingering in a public place... thanks for that..!

 

[xXGeckoXx]

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?

Two years ago.

My Dad owns the hell out of me in Brawl.

With Ness. And me as Snake.

I found that boat wow that's a story. How did she know most people who play the game obsessively can't find the boat.

I don't have any moments from it being my parents. However, I was playing Final Fantasy XII (Don't kill me) when my grandfather came in and started too watch me play. He then saw Ashe and said that she was hot.

OMG!!! My grandfather walked in while I was playing that exact game, except I had Fran out using her bow and then I changed her for balthier after I killed the giant bird. He then proceeds to go "Bring back the girl-y, she was yummy *licks lips loudly".

To put it simply, I wanted to get a soldering iron and burn the memory from my brain, ... unforutunately I don't think it works that way.

*playing Final Fantasy VII*

Mum: Hey let your cousin play!

Me: It's a one player game mum...

Mum: Don't be so damn selfish and let him play the game with you!

*facepalm*

Also mum walking into the room during the scene in MGS where Snake is reminiscing about Meryl's ass.

 

[Devilyweevles]

Well, I want you all to try this. As you're playing Resident Evil 4, an d you're blasting one of the zombie-esq peoples heads off into an explosion, have your parents come in. Then try a Q&A on why the game "is totally appropriate for me"

Your moment definitely beats mine. Especially when you mentioned what he did, and unfortunately a soldering iron doesn't work that way. Trust me on this.

My mother once or twice a week tells/asks me :
1.What are u doing in front of the pc or in front of the tv (if I play Xbox) so many hours?
2.The same question but it contains my bf or my friends..
3.All the other girls at your age do "this" or "that" , what are u gonna do?
4.Isn't this boring? or Is this serious? or Are these things for serious people?
I try very hard not to answer,or I just nod!! If my sister is around and try to agree or say sth I just remind her that I won't help her again with her pc ... And of course the usual question is about why or how much money I spent in "these" things...

[Bihac]

Trying to explain how to play Golden Eye (way back in the day) to my father who is a soldier in real life. Was fairly embarrassing, in the end I let him kill me repeatedly so he wouldn't feel so bad. Though recently he watched me play MW2 online and commented on how realistic it all looked, and that the gun's were very accurate in appearance.

As for the mother, I'd say either one of the wrestling games which had one of the "Diva's" not wearing very much at all during a loading screen or, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, she watched in horror as I went about field stripping corpses one of which happened to be female, the ensuing conversation was about how it was an economic in game need, and not because I wanted to see pixelated cleavage.

And finnaly for the sibling, never really. She's 10 years younger than me, and has been playing Hitman 2, since she was around 6. Though occasionally I can see her bore my parents into a border line catatonic state by trying to explain a game to them.
