Do your parents play video games?

I don't think my parents have ever played a video game in their lives.

My Grandma is super into Tetris though.

I am a dumbass. I totally forgot that my mother is the family's Pokemon Master because she played Red, Blue and Yellow, caught all 150 Pokemon in all three games, level them up to level 100 (or 99, I forget where it caps off) and would have done the same on Gold/Silver had her job not got in the way. I HAVE DISGRACED MY FAMILY!

-runs self through with a sword-

My mom was willing to play Jet Moto with e as a kid and helped me with a few riddles in FF's but otherwise she wasn't very interested in videogames. Dad however immediately turns the Wii on when I come over and starts talking trash about how he'll kick my butt. He had a nes & snes when I was a kid and played both with me a lot when I was at his house.

That is my mom. Or it was..I have no idea if she still plays though.

When I was 4 or 5 my dad woke me in the middle of the night to show me that he got to last world on the original NES Mario. He was so damn excited I thought he lost his mind. Shortly after that he gave himself a guilt trip about being too old for games and never touched another one again. I think his father lectured him about being a proper father or some junk. He was always overly sensitive on his father's approval/disapproval. Kinda sad because I woulda loved playing video games with him growing up.

Both of my parents have played video games in the past. Never really was a first preference hobby for either of them though. Fond memories of playing Spyro and Crash Bandicoot and even some Final Fantasy VII with mum though.

My dad bought me a NES when I was 7 and still calls my PS3 the Nintendo. I think it's safe to say he's never played it before.

My parents think video games are stupid and a waste of time. My dad spent all of yesterday playing solitaire.
