I remember when I was about nine or ten years old and I had just got Grand Theft Auto 2.
So I was in my room, playing, and I found a tank and started rampaging down the streets and felt awesome. Then my dad walked in and I thought that I would be grounded for a week or beat down for playing such HORRIFIC games.
My dad just went up close to the screen, looked at me and said "Why don't you just drive on the other side of the road so that the cars meet you instead of having to chase them? It'll get you alot more kills son..."
I did not have a reply to that comment.

Hmm most annoying/embarrassing thing was when I was going through my second playthrough of MGS3 and my mom just happened to be passing down the hallway. You know Kojima and his cutscenes/mini movies and yeah my mom thought the plot was interesting. Bad thing is she sat down and watched me play through a good portion of it, commenting on my gameplay eg "You missed that guy." "Why did you slit his throat? You could have used him as a bullet shield, or interrogated him no less." "Why are you always shooting poor defenseless animals?" ect.
*sigh*

Sitting in CoD4 lobby waiting for start
Father: "Which one are you"
Me: uhh i'm the AMRD to Death guy.
Father:"What is amrd?"
Me: "uhhhhh well umm umm uhh"
Father:"If you don't tell me i'm turning off the power"
Me: "Uhhh it means uhhmm
Armored!"
Father:"Instead of playing this game I think you need to focus on your spelling"
One time I was playing Halo 2 and my dad walked in right when I got killed by rockets and I yelled "Ahh you rocket whore!"...dramatic silence....he leaves.

In ffx when tidus and yuna were having it with eachother in the water,my mum entered and i kept mumbling "why now",funny thinking back on it now know =p.Another time when i was playing fable 2 and you can pay prostitutes to bed with you my mum entered when the prostitute said "your bun is in my oven" and "harder,harder" i quickly muted it even know the subtitles were still there
I don't really have an awkward moment per say, but when I got vice city my mom said that I could nly kill people on missions and that I couldnt jack cars, use 'explosive weapons' etc..
Now she could care less

Too old for that now, but yes, I remember my dad walking in on me during the rape cutscene in Phantasmagoria (not that any of you spawns of the 90's would know that game!) 12 years ago or so and thinking it was some horror movie that I was watching, it seemed inconceivable to him of course that a game could have video, since Pacman was the only game he knew about. I felt really embarrassed but he didn't react too bad, he mumbled something and that was it. I think he figured it pointless to start an argument with a 15 year old teen with a full VHS collection of obscure horror b-movies recorded from TV channels at 3 in the morning, a shelf double filled with Stephen King novels, a wall full of Lovecraft-inspired pictures and a steady argument that "I have the highest grades in my class, what else do you want". Can't say I blame him.
Me and my younger brother were sitting in the front room watching my older brother play GTA: Vice City. He was killing some random people when our dad walked into the room, then my older brother said "Eat it."whilst shooting some one, and whilst our dad was standing right behind him, my little brother says "Yeah you wankers!!!" he was about 9 or 10 at the time. Needless to say our dad was quite angry with him.
HA! that's rough!Scrythe said:
the best one i have was when i was playing Dead of Alive 4 at my friend's house. his dad comes downstairs to get something and stops to watch us for a min. we were both using female's. "This bring a whole new meaning to the phrase KNOCK OUT doesn't it!" then he walks back upstairs.
other bad times are when my sister and her hot friends come down into the basement while i'm sitting there with my nerd as heck headset on >_> the worst thing that ever happened with that was a time when i didn't know they were standing right behind me as said "Yes, i'm an achievment whore!" as someone was making fun of my gamerscore
My mates mum beat me at Wii sports - even if it were 8am and I've been drinking since 6pm the night before I still should have never lost my gaming pride to a mother - especially not my own!
This isn't just my dad's fail, it's mine too. We were playing the Director's Cut of Resident Evil, and we were playing as Chris, something we never did due to his lack of item space (and Bazooka). We wanted to beat it in under 3 hours,and we ere doing well. Then we get to the entrance to the Lab. We forgot to grab the Wolf medallion. So we have to run all the way back to the mansion, grab it, and then come back AGAIN.
It took forever.
