Tell me your fondest video game memory involving your parents.

my parents have always seen video games as waste of time, and still do
so no "fond" memories

its funny how it was okay for me to watch TV as long as I wanted but gaming after certain time was out of the question

>>388714376
they told me videogames made me violent

jokes on them though i was violent anyway

When the first Crash Bandicoot came out, my mom let me skip school and drove me to the mall to buy it.

Thanks, Mom.

That was the only time my dad played vidya with me and it was awesome that me and my dad were hero's.
Atleast to my 6-8 year old mind it was.

That image screams 1999, even their haircuts do.

I had a fond memory of playing Melee with my parents and sister when I got it for my 10th birthday. I remember everyone having fun, mainly because we equally sucked at Melee.

I also remember playing Wii Sports with my entire family for Christmas 2008, but this was also around the time my parents stopped gaming.

My mum's obsession with Mario games. I don't know why she liked them so much - her favorite was Yoshi's Island on SNES.

>>388714748
she wanted italian dick

Entering my older brother's room on the first day of 1999 to ask him if I could play with the new game we got for our N64 (we only had Mario 64 until then so I didnt know how playing other games work, I was 6 okay?)
I remember it as if was today, the game was OoT btw.

I still find it weird that my parent tell me video games are a waste of time, it's still sitting in front of a tv/monitor which they do anyway.

Nothing even close to that fun had ever happened before or after that

Playing Mario Kart/Party on N64. Even mum would join in. Good times.

Also EyeToy on PS2 playing that window washing minigame and dad pretending to wash the bird shit with his tongue

i remember getting one (1) game for my 10th birthday which was that shitty south park fps for the n64. on the drive home my brainlet mother saw a line on the box about anal probing aliens and made us go back to toys r us. exchanged it for rogue squadron so not bad.

My parents use to run gaming club in the 90s, my mom used to beat dad in tekken all the time, he would then play solo learning combos and shit however that didn't help him much. Years later me and bros were playing tekken 5 and we managed to beat the game with all the chars cept kuma, couldn't beat Jinpachi, mum came and beat him in 2-3tries.

Completing Driver 76 with my dad on new year's eve.

>>388714376
I can't even remember what christmas it was but after weeks of asking my parents every day to "Buy me a videogame" I finally opened up my presents to discover a brand new copy of Mischief Makers.
I wasn't even upset that they didn't buy an N64 (I don't know why but in retrospect it was probably because they were sold out for the holidays) I must have read that instruction manual 100 times before I actually got the N64 a few days later.
I was never really able to get my parents into games but I think that's fine.

My dad and I never got along much growing up. He was the "I work hard everyday and I'd you dont, then you're a pussy " kind of guy.

Video games were beneath him, however one day he was watching me play Tekken 3 and I was getting my was handed to me by the character Law. My dad was very nostalgic of the 70's and noticed Law looked and sounded slit like Bruce Lee.

He sat down on the couch, actually asked me if he could play too. I was overjoyed. We played a few rounds and it was one of the only good memories with my dad at a young age.

3 days later my mom finds Tekken 3 I'm the floor and says, "I'm sick of fucking telling you to pick up your games" and snap the disc in two.

and bought me many sonic games until the dreamcast
it was the best time of my life

I competed with my mom for good Tetris scores and I played Myst with my dad, we both were equally fascinated.
He never wanted to play himself (he actually learned how to properly use a modern computer just a few years ago) but he always wanted to watch when I played point and click adventures.
I recently thisisthefutureoldman.jpg'd him when I showed him my Vive and he was thrilled.

> fondest video game memory involving your parents
Video games was the escapism I required to flee a life of abuses at the hands of an alcoholist, heroin and opium junkie, living on welfare, Dolophine and other opium-based farmaceutical prescriptions.
Games and books allowed me to live in bright worlds, while my grandparents wasted all their retirement money onto protecting my father from the law, through bribes and services.
After his death, I kept gaming and reading, but those times of simple merryment as a kid, are now replaced with escapism from a jobless and friendless life as an adult.

My mom loves videogames, we started playing them together. Her favorite are Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario 64, Spyro and Ocarina of Time. She likes to try new things, but she always goes back to those whenever she can.

Dad didn't understand how they worked, but he always bought them for us and watched us play. He tried to help us when we couldn't figure out a puzzle in Majora's Mask and he actually got it right, he was so proud and happy. I miss him and those days

Playing street fighter 2 on snes with my brother and dad. My dad picked dhalsim and spammed his stretch attacks, neither of us could beat him. We'd get mad and call him a cheater which he would just laugh at. Similar situation in soul caliber 2, he picked kilik and stomped us. Also in sf2 my dad fucked around with the settings and somehow gliched the game to still be playable but the characters looked like they were made of sand. Pretended like it was a cheat he did on purpose. Thought it was the coolest shit and asked him how he did it but he'd say it was his secret.

Also we got stuck on the last boss of tenchu and he beat it for us although by spamming the bombs but still

My Dad used to help me through games that I was having trouble with when I was younger and I'd watch him play, so I have quite a few fond memories. I guess my favourite is watching him get all the Power Cells in Jak and unlocking the secret ending.

When my dad got me an N64 with an atomic purple controller. He likes the older games. As far back as I can remember, we had an Atari 2600. If there was a Pacman cabinet anywhere, he'd be there. I played as well with him. But that N64 with 4 player local and Mario party tho.

>>388716064
Also my father calling me and when I went to the PC he downloaded a japanese ROM of Pokemon Ruby saying "I bet no one of your friends already has this"

Closest thing is my parents getting me a Gameboy.

Had to buy games (other than Pokemon that came with it) myself though. I think that I've only received three games as a gift ever and I'm pretty sure that only 1 of those cost money to the giver.

My dad and I are super excited about the new xcom expansion and we have both been talking about it for months.

My parents weren't against vidya but never triedto play it because 'oh I'm too old for this'

Meanwhile my best friend's father kicked our asses at Tekken, Mario Kart etc

>>388715328
This is the only console I've ever had when I was a kid. My dad then became a PC fag forever and I followed his steps.

Everytime i think about this i get teary eyed. Ironically he died in a car crash that year. And oddly enough as a kid it made me feel a little better to think he got taken down by an enemy racer. Not many people even get to have a father, let alone one that cared this much.

My dad bought me every game system since the NES. The perks of having a drug dealer father. He was super into Grand Turismo. He went to jail for 4 months and when he was gone I got every license and 1 billion credits. When he got home he almosg shit himself. He stopped selling drugs and became a truck driver. He didn't play as much but he watches me and my kid brother play anytime he comes to my house. I might not agree with all his choices, but he did what he could with what he had. He's my bestfriend and I'm probably going to kill myself when he dies.

>>388716910
At least you're close. I wouldn't off myself when he dies though. I doubt he would want that.

I remember being in school, history class about ww2, my dad bought me medal of honor Frontline and make me watch saving private ryan.

My dad started off playing Castle Wolfenstein and Descent. Then Mechwarrior 2. Then Mech Commander. I know the whole fucking Mech Commander intro by heart. My entire family knows it.

He writes these christmas letters every year that are supposed to be from santa (have a younger brother) and in them he always says these things hes too afraid to say out loud otherwise ans I always sob like a baby.

He had a heart attack this year and I just remember listening to the little hum of that computer every night, trying not to think of him in the hospital.

My mother would watch my brother and I play SNES when we were growing up; not all the time of course, but whenever she would have free time she would sit nearby and watch us while she read a book or something. She did this all the time to the point that even now she still remembers most of the OSTs, especially all of SMRPG.

My mom played Shenmue 1 and 2 with me.

My mom and dad never cared for playing games, but they were always supportive with buying me games and consoles growing up. I enjoyed playing games alone anyway The solitude when everyone was gone and/or sleeping made the game feel so immersive.

Look again, those are bars. Look around the window frame.

My dad "helped" me with Ghosts 'n Goblins once, but he didn't make it past the graveyard (while I was consistently making it deep into level 3) and that's it. My parents always hated games with a deep passion, and the few friends I had almost never came over since I lived far from school, so I mostly played by myself. I think that's why I generally prefer singleplayer games over multiplayer games to this day, even when the games main focus is the multiplayer part.

If I love videogames, it's all thanks to my dad.
Before my birth, he was a dedicated player: pool, card games, gambling, sports... In the 80s videogames arrived and for a born player like him in his twenties it was heaven. To this day, he loves the shit out of Arkanoid and I help him installing emulators to play it.
Then I was born, he had to put gaming on the side for a while. But then he gifted me a Genesis for my 6th birthday. What a great day. What a great period of my life. I was an incompetent kid at videogames then but he was always there helping me play. Hell, he finished Sonic 1 for me.
Now that he got old he became a bit more cranky towards the fact I still play videogames but just a bit.
He recognises the games I and my brother play, he likes to watch us playing in short bursts and he also plays a bit (mostly Arcade emulators and phone games, but still).
I am very grateful to my dad, maybe I should tell him more often.

Oh, my mother kinda dislikes videogames but in the end she started playing mobile games too. Because my father convinced her to do it, kek.

Back in the Pokemon Red/Blue days my dad tried to be supportive of my gaming as a hobby for the first time. Without saying a thing he got in line for the midnight release of Blue and wordlessly dropped a bag containing the game, the massive guidebook for it, and a couple attachments for my GBC in my lap the next day. I set to reading every page of the guide and putting the little screen light and headphones to the best use I could. I didn't know what else to do. It wasn't something I knew how to react to, as he had been so cold about gaming and towards me in general for the years leading up to that point. So I thanked him and 100%'d the game in gloriously accessoried fashion. Still have the whole kit in a box I dig into every once in a while when I want to bawl like a bitch.

My mom never touched vidya. My dad played Mario Kart 64 with me and my two brothers once and when he got taken out by a shell, I remember him mumbling, "ahhh yazoomaria". Also, Christmas time, crowded around the TV eating my mom's Christmas cookies and playing Rogue Squadron 64 with the brothers

Went to Las Vegas when I was a wee lad to visit mi padre for the summer. Padre went out and bought two consoles, an SNES and N64. Played Goldeneye for the summer with him and going to arcades n shit. Shit was so cash, was gonna get ready to go again the next summer, he died.

My dad only ever played vidya on the NES, mainly Jordan Vs Bird. He would also get really crazy at Ice Hockey when we rented it.

When my dad died and I can play as much vidya as I want to fill the void

my dad used to have time for video games (and for me lol)
we would play Bad Company 1 and later 2 together, and honestly they're my best memories of him so far

i remember one time he nailed a pretty sick sniper shot from really far away, he used the bullet drop in the game to shoot a guy behind a concrete barrier atop a lighthouse

Tell me anon. How fucked up are you because of that experience?

>>388714376
I have a few

My Grandmother always had a SNES at her house with Super Mario World and All-Star Collection.
So whenever we would be over for a holiday we would all take turns playing SMB3 Battle Mode. We still do actually.

My mom wouldn't really play with me, but one time she was feeling adventurous and she played a few rounds of Budokai 2
I easily beat her, but it's still something i remember quite clearly

And my Dad used to play alot of COD4 and MW2, and he was quite good.
So every night i would watch him play and cheer him on, and sometimes he would let me try too.

he used to play it drunk with a close friend during the mid 90s, taking turns whenever they died to play, but hasnt played it since as he gave his life to save my dads shortly after my birth in 97 and it always reminds him of it
when Ubisoft done Ubi30 i picked up all the games when they gave the chance to get them all during the final few days and i played a couple of them until i came across Rayman Origins, noticing it lets up to 4 players
i took my PC down with me one of the weekends when i visited the house to show him and hooked up 2 controllers so he could play it with me

After that last one, every single game I've touched has been a disappointment. I don't really play games anymore.

I wish my parents loved me.

My dad and I playing Pickle Wars on our Windows 95 PC in the mid-90s, then upgrading to Windows 98 and getting Duke Nukem. We traded off beating levels until we finished Duke It Out In DC.

My dad didn't play a video game until he and my mom took a spin on NFS Most Wanted for my 360 and we all busted a gut laughing at how bad my mom was, and how she got instantly arrested for running into a cop.

They bought a Wii on Christmas the year it came out, and we all played Wii Sports that day, and it was barely ever used again.

My mom sold my nintendo 64 for meth

Americans decorate their door handles with gored, dead rats

My dad never Played much, besides cruising USA. But at least was supportive about it and would gladly buy a game for me and.my brothers if we were dying to have it. We were poor and understood completely so we knew it was a big deal if he gave us a $20 to spend in a game store.

My mom on the other hand has to avoid videogames altogether to maintain a functioning life. The first time I saw it was on the Genesis, I think it was desert strike, she played the fuck out of it, to the point that one night me and.my older brother woke up at 2 am to sneak some snacks and we heard videogames being played in the living room. We peeked in on her standing up in front of the TV, controller in hand with her eyes fucking closed, still able to play the game and was making progress. Idk how she did it.

And the other time was with final fantasy Viii, she watched me and my older brother playing it and became very interested, she didnt know games could have fleshed out characters and an actual story. She picked it up and 100% it over the course of 3 weeks while working a job. It sucked kinda Cuz she was always using our ps1

I dont live with my parents anymore, but my mom tells me every few years she does a play through of ffviii, she says the music makes her cry and reminds her of when me and my brothers were little kids sitting around watching her beat the fuck out of that game and collecting every card and stuff.

My dad watched me play Tekken 3, when I low kicked my npc opponent, he said in a shocked voice "do you kick your opponent when they are down?!"
He was disappointed

Last I heard of him was about five years ago; he was living in California with his third wife, and working as a massage therapist. Looking back he was a genuinely sleazy guy, but damn if he didn't pass his ill gotten gains onto me.

That was the last time she showed me mercy, though. Turns out she used to play Soul Edge at arcades with her friends a few years prior and got good there. We played all the Soul games up to 3, some Mortal Kombat, even a little Contra on the PS2 eventually. Dad isn't really into video games anymore, but my mom plays all kinds of mobileshit and is always willing to beat my ass at Pacman and Tetris, jesus she's good at those games.

My Dad would always buy the latest Madden or NHL game for whichever system I had. We would play together sometimes.

RIP

My parents got me a SNES totally unexpected around christmas. They came home late one day and told me to go get some stuff out of the car, and there it was.

It came with Street Fighter 2, a 6-in-1 shooting game and the bazooka gun. They couldn't have chosen better. There was a SNES demo display at the mall where you'd be able to play for free as long as you waited in line, and you could also request games, but it usually ran SF2 and I'd always be going there to play. It was magical to have that game at home now.

my dad only played games with me once.

we played the last bronx demo on pc and he bodied me by mashing buttons.

Probably 4 or 5 years old. Use to sneak out of my bedroom and sit on his lap while he played doom. he Worked 3rd shift so it was really the only time I got to see him. Life hasn't been that good.

Got confused about what type of pride you meant for a second there anon

Playing Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Super Mario 2 and Super Mario 3
We'd always play co-op on DK, I'd be Diddy and always drag him down with my shit skill.
His ring tone is actually Gankplank Galleon because playing that with him was my favorite thing to do.
He'd always give me ups on SMW because I was trash on that too.
He'd always beat Mario World 2 and let me do the slot machine mini game.
He'd also always play SM3 despite me being a little shitter that would get the flutes and skip worlds. He'd always try and convince me not to and that we should beat the entire thing but my retarded ass thought it was cooler to skip worlds.
I still play all those games because I just associate them with happy memories and they never fail to entertain me and take me back to those days.

Watching my dad play the original Warcraft on his computer, legends says he is a beast in Warcraft 2.

Watching them both play Infotron (a long ass puzzle game).

He introduced me to my first fps Marathon back in 1996.

Back when I lived with them my dad use to watch me and my sister play video games (are ya winning son? style) Resident Evil 4, Wind Waker, Warcraft 3...

On Saturdays he used to take me to the arcade, we always played and finish Taito's Space Gun, Aliens and the Simpsons arcade.

They were pretty hesitant to let me play video games, as my mom said they are a waste of time. (they never actually bought us any console). But still got fond memories with them and video games.

Me and my dad never talked much. He was a workaholic, and he did not like me playing video games.

We visit my cool uncle who just got a cutting edge home theater setup with a new X box. He somehow managed to talk his brother, my dad, into playing Halo. After a few days me and my Dad played Halo, it was practically the one thing we could agree on. It was some of the best times we had together.

Although him trying to apply his extensive special forces training to the game did get trying at times. As fun as it is the game is very limiting as countless tactics can not be done in game. Also the lack of a knife and folding shovel drove him nuts.

My parents were divorced since I was in third grade...
They dont hate each other... But everybody in school would mock me out about that.
But, from one side, my dad always hated that I liked video games, he wanted a son that shared his interests, like soccer and motor racing...
But when I was little, for xmas mom gifted me a bootleg nes, with one of these 100 games in 1 cartridge.
I used to play alot of Galaga with pops.. I had so much fun because we were having a very good time together. Then, I think that he realized that he was doing something that he told me alot of times not to do (play vidya).. and that was the last time I played a video game with him.

Mom in the other side, she loves watching me play video games... one time I finished Final Fantasy IX with her watching at my side, she loved the music and the story.

I wish that my parents never broke up... or at least my dad would like to watch me playing something or play with me, but I think that its kinda too late for that, He's kinda old, and I dont play on consoles anymore.
Still, I love them both and Im happy to have them yet alive.

pic related, I maded pops on saints row 3 and 4. At least that's one way to play with him, I think

I was pretty fucked, definitely not just that though. Didn't really spend much time with my dad after things like that combined with other stuff.

We are pretty close now though. We work on cars together sometimes. Helps that I don't have to live with him anymore, or listen to him.

The Terminator, for Master System 2.

Cartridge was white. I don't know if it's correct, but we assumed it was becuase the game was hard as fuck.

The first stage was infiltrating the skynet base, with an helicopter throwing bombs at you. You were killed in one hit. For weeks I tried to pass that and see anything else from the game, but failed miserably. One night, my dad asked for a try and he got to the first encounter with the freaking terminator. I was in tears.

He never played again, and I know he eould be shit at it. Sometimes I think about trying to get him involved, since he loves action movies so much. And I think he would have a blast playing Dayz or some other survivla simulator.

And I never played The Terminator again. Sometimes I think I should try, to see if it was that hard, to get to see the whole game. But I think I prefer to leave there, as my father greates accomplishment in videogames.

the only thing vidya related my parents have ever done is when they took me to the video rental store to rent out some games. when I was 10 or 11 my mum suggested Professor Layton and Pandora's Box. No idea why but i got it anyway and was hooked. She even started playing it herself and got a decent ways through. She still helps me with puzzles whenever I replay the games.

mom used to play for me while I watched until I was 6ish when I decided I should give it a go. She's always had an interest for mario games despite being old and incapable of playing for too long.

When we got "fast" internet in the early 2000s dad started pirating the fuck out of everything. We had these stacks of CDs and DVDs - at the end of the 6th gen we piled up over 300 games.
My mom was a closet metalhead - just like my dad. She played mostly on consoles, though. I remember she played a lot of Devil May Cry and Silent Hill 2 when the PS2 came out.
As for my dad, he taught me emulation and other stuff. He's also somewhat borderline autistic to us, but without him I wouldn't be the decent person I am today, I believe.
They were and are not god-tier parents, however I think that if I was born in any other family (I know this sounds like bragging), there'd be a 95% chance that I would've been a worse person.

Probably the first is my dad showing me the warp zone in 1-2 in Super Mario Bros. Man, I haven't talked to my dad in about 10 years I think. Fuck.

On a less depressing note, my mom NEVER played video games and didn't give a flying fuck about them until all the way when Skyward Sword released. I visited her place and brought the game with me. She saw me swinging the sword with the wiimote and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

the wii just came out and my dad went to every retail store to buy one for my birthday. just as he was about to give up, he was walking outside of the gamestop and saw a delivery truck come for the store. he asked the guy working at the store about the truck and they told him that's the supply truck for when they get new game shipments in. he waited about 1 hour later and lo and behold the gamestop employee had brand new wiis coming into the store. my dad was the first person to snatch it up. ended up also getting twilight princess zelda and rayman raving rabbids and playing all night. that's my fondest memory

After the main portion of Christmas events has passed I'm playing MGS on the PlayStation while the rest of the family is chatting and relaxing in the living room. I end getting stuck on the torture scene and can't mash X hard enough. Soon enough the controller is being passed around to see who can save Snake. I like that memory a lot.

My older brother killed himself a few hours after I kept beating him in Tekken 3. Idk if that really counts as a fond memory though.

Dad was pretty much my best friend when I was a kid. I'd actually turn down my other friends on some occasions and tell them I couldn't play with them, because I was gonna go home and play with my dad.
He bought me an NES for Christmas one year and we'd play The Legend of Zelda together. One would be in charge of writing down notes and drawing a map on a sheet of squared paper.
He also bought Dr Mario some time later and we'd play the versus mode all the time. I'd win most of the time and he'd always praise my talents. I used to think I was really fucking good at that game and it wasn't until an embarrassing amount of years later that I realised he was going easy on me to make me feel good.
Thank you, dad. You were the best.

Well my parents divorced when I was young so video games were one common thread between both places I lived.
I would say for my Dad it was the day he brought home Gargoyles Quest 2 for me because he heard of this Gargoyles tv show I watched and thought it was the same thing. One of my all time fave games.
With my Mom it was probably when she got me UMK3 on Genesis and we played for hours. Fucking bitch always picked Sonya and move-spammed her leg grab non-stop, but it was a lot of fun.

He was a shit player but loved CO4 and Waw, had a 0.7KD or something like that, I was a beast who only sniped in SnD and domination and maintained a 2.4KD.

He used to love watching me do nothing but snipe in domination and would laugh and cheer when I hit ridiculous quickscopes and would string together 3+ fast kills. Was fun having my old man admire me for something.

My mom always really disliked me being into games even if she bought them for me at the beginning, always viewed them as a waste of time. Never really took/takes an interest in my hobbies either. I mean even if it is autistic it'd be nice if she asked what the anime I'm watching is about or cared to see my shitty drawings.

My uncle was pretty bro tier, thought. We played through the Onimusha games together when I was younger and we'd watch Most Extreme Elimination Challenge every week. He recently got a really nice job so he's doing a lot better than he was, too. Keep it up, unc.

When PS2 came out, I wanted it but didn't want to bother my family with getting it. They ended up getting it for another family member and then I really wanted it. My mom asked if I wanted one and I said yea but I wouldn't blame her if she didn't get one because it was so close to Christmas.

Well apparently she spent the next few days stalking several stores until she could find and grab one and surprised me on Christmas day with it.

Christmas was the best time of year for me. My parents would always go out of their way to get me the one thing I wanted. I love them.

I guess this is related but I had a gf in high school whos parents played Dr Mario every night for hours. I still don't understand it. But I got a lot of boob action upstairs (with the door kept open :^) )

mom played a lot of tetris and mario when i was growing up. doesnt touch any game anymore.

dad played a lot of games when i was young. home videos of him playing playstation and me playing with an unplugged controller.we played a lot of games together up until like the ps3 came out. he doesnt touch any any more unless he just happens to be in the room and me or my sister are playing something basic like GTA, that was always his favorite. he got into dead island years ago whenever it came out.

I obviously had access to video games growing up, but my parents were never that involved in my childhood. Dad was too busy drinking and being on the soapbox about his dumbshit politics, then my parents ultimately divorced and we ended up homeless for a while.

Closest thing to a fond memory I have is leaving home and having my own income. I kept thinking back to a time when the family was homeless and kids at school would tease me for wearing second-hand clothes. Some fat kid would always bring his Game Boy to class and let everybody take turns playing except for me. That stuck with me for a while. Shortly after I moved out, one of the first things I bought myself with my own money was a Game Boy. I still have it 15 years later.

>>388714376

My dad taught me to play Kirby Super Star when I was 7

My cousin left his SNES at my dads house and he showed me to play

My parents were divorced since I was 2, i don't have many fond memories of my dad growing up but thats always a good one. That's one of many reasons why KSS is one of my GOAT games

I showed GTA V's director mode to my dad a few months back and we both cracked up when I used a poodle and that super fat lady NPC to destroy a barrage of swat teams.

When I was 12 I was in the hospital recovering from apendicitis for a week and my mom brought in the snes so she could play and hangout with me while I was in bed. Sometimes I would get frustrated with her because she couldn't remember where to go but she loved playing that game. We played the snes and the n64 version together, easily 100 hours, at least is felt that way. When I was 22 my parents divorced. I live on my own and don't see my mom often.

I know exactly how you feel, dude but don't consider something like that. That other anon is right. Your dad wouldn't want that for you.

Nothing really with my parents, i have more memories with my sibling. Although, my parents would watch me and play vice with me. I was about 7. My dad also played no mercy with me. And of course, when the wii came out we all played wii sports. But my parents hated that i played some games like hitman or halo. They would buy me games then take them away. It also didnt help that my dad was an alcoholic so he would yell at me sometimes just for touching a controller, and the next day be ok with anything I did.

Only game he would ever play, really.

You're a little shit, you know that right? I bet you have a punchable face

Once, as a child, my father saw me playing C&C: Retaliation on the PSX and asked me what it was. I spent half an hour or so showing him the ropes, telling him basic game mechanics, teaching him the cheat codes that i'd use to get past particularly difficult sections (FUCKING ANTS). He seemed to get bored pretty quickly, so I carried on playing by myself.

Two days later, I come home from school to find that my dad set up the PSX in the living room and had been playing C&C literally all day. The first video game he had ever played. He had this child-like wonder at the interactivity of it all. I sat there and drank my strawberry milk as I watched him overcome challenges through creative methods, exactly the kinds of things i'd been doing to work my way through the game.

Thing is, i'd had the shit kicked out of me at school that day. I was aggressively bullied and had no friends for the entirety of my childhood because I preferred to sit in my room and play strategy games. Seeing my father utterly engrossed in something I had also fallen in love with convinced me that I wasn't a freak, or a mistake. He accidentally showed me that everything was going to be alright, and still to this day has no idea how much he helped me by wasting an entire day playing a video game.

> Dad & mother have been fighting about some old shit apparently
>Go to visit them, dads already a bit drunk & not in good mood
>Start drinking too
>Having drinks with dad in the garage trying to cheer him up
>We have some epic laughs, everythingwenbetterthanexpected.png
>Didn't know hes been secretly drinking moonshine too
>Suddenly a complete personality change happens, he thinks I'm fucking with him or some shit
>We go outside, I try to hug him
>He throws me on the car hood (nelson)
>Mom calls cops
>I free myself, still trying to calm him
>Somewhere he gets this wooden rod with girth of a bicep and starts hitting me with it
>Hurts like hell and unarmed, so I try to gtfo
>Runs after me to the backyard, we start wrestling in the raspberry bush
> Can't breathe because he chokes me, he's much stronger than me
>Hit his throat and throw him over me using my legs
>Police comes and I'm walking back to my home
>Dad still runs after me
>Go hide in the backyard of an old friend

Then he did his oldest trick in the book, faking to have a heart attack so police take him to hospital, not in a drunktank. Then he called a taxi from there and gtfo back to his home. I went to a bar to get shitfaced because of the bruises, my ear ripped badly.
>Realize there is no helping that psycho, should've smashed him when he was down but I'm too much of a dirty hippie for it.

>passing along scum tactics

Literally reminds me of when I let my little brother play dark souls on my modded xbox 360 for the first time ever and I sat there like a dipshit and explained everything as he went through, even boss tactics like the taru fight stairs and shit.

I still regret that, I stole his experience so to speak.

i fucking destroyed my computer lab classes with this shit

ASS was always top on the leaderboard, and kids even went so far as to delete the score file, and I would re-blast their shit. every time.

>mom never really cared about games, I tried playing Witcher 3 with her because she likes fantasy, drama etc etc
>game is too long and we're too busy
>will try to play The Last of Us with her at some point

apart from that
>just when I was really getting into vidya and just when vidya itself was becoming more and more visually appealing, my dad gets sick
>spends most of his time still working, either in the office or at home
>sickness lasts for 5 years, drains him of weight almost completely
>never got around to asking me about games
>never got around to asking him about games
>everyone is just so focused on his illness and his care
>one day when I come from school I get the news that he died that morning
>regret never really playing with him
Looking back on it, he might have been too obsessed with work. Then again, I was too shy and too ignorant to ask him to play something with me.
