Ahaha, you live with your parents.

God damn, get off your lazy ass and call blockbuster yourself you little shit.

FUKKING CASUALS

all systems are nintendo, no exceptions.

>The worst was when she called blockbuster because I wanted to know if they had a game. I told her the game was Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. she says to the guy on the phone "Nancy's Splinter Town" -_-

you deserve this you fucking idiot.

>>23664320
I want my live back Mitch

Underage Ban.

>>23664361

I was like 12 at the time...

>The worst was when she called blockbuster because I wanted to know if they had a game.
>she called blockbuster... I wanted to know
Dude either grow up or fuck off and come back when you're 18.
> -_-
I see, underage b&

Hey son you need to get one of those football games for your playstation

they just call it "your game" i.e. turn off your game, we're leaving.

They've bought me so many consoles that they know in 3 years or so they'll have to memorize a new one.

My dad still wonders when I'm gonna "grow up" from gaming. And no, I haven't lived with my parents in years.

>Nancy's Splinter Town

I want to play this game.

Still living with Mom, eh?

>>23664470

This. My dad: That madden game looks pretty good

FFFFFFF DAD FUCKING REHASHAN EA SHITTY SPORT GAME

I would play Nancy's Splinter Town.

It's a wild west fronteir town, so all the buildings are crappy wood, and people keep getting splinters, so you, Nancy, the town doctor (in a skimpy nurse's outfit) have to run around pulling splinters before people get infections and die.

My friend's uncle calls every shooter in the world "Halo." Whenever he checks up on us in his son's room and sees us playing a game that involves shooting (need not be first person, mind you) he would always ask "you guy's playing Halo?" We were playing Gears just last week and he called it Halo. I would have raged were it not so funny.

My mother calls every videogame system in the world Nintendo. Nintendo seems synonymous with "video game" to her and the grand majority of baby-boomers.

My cousin thought Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne was a Pokemon game.

My parents still call every human Mario and every non human Yoshi.
Is this Mario
NO THATS SEPHIROTH!!!

Oooh Yoshi
SHUT UP DAD THATS PYRAMID HEAD!!! IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE YOSHI!

>>23664320


I never have this problem, in fact i talk with both my mom and grandfather about games. Hell, my grandfather LIKES games. He's tried palying a few and has sat through watching me play OddWorld, Psychonauts and fucking Half Life 2 all the way through.

Hell, my parents don't even mind if I like games like Pokemon and shit as long as I'm doing good in my studies.

I fucking love my family.

>wiistation

I'm using that forever now.

I'm never calling it the wii again.

>>23664320The worst was when she called blockbuster because I wanted to know if they had a game. I told her the game was Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

Copypasta confirmed, what with splinter cell being fucking ancient and all.

I remember when I was 16 I had just got Final Fantasy X and was playing it on the big TV downstairs (we'd had the PS2 set up for my birthday)

Anyway, I was playing it the day after, and enjoying it a fair bit. My dad was watching it with a slight level of interest. Until he said "Do you just walk around and talk to people, where's the fighting?"

I explained to him that all the shit that looked like people waving swords about after me giving them commands was the fighting.

"Oh, that looked boring"

Also, when I got Tenchu 2 (I wasn't old enough to play it, and it fucked me up royally, I've executed several people since, they didn't even see me) he walked in on me playing it and said "Is this game nothing but fighting and killing?"

I COULD NEVER FUCKING WIN.

>>23664736
>SHUT UP DAD THATS PYRAMID HEAD!!! IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE YOSHI! HE DOESN'T EVEN FIT!!

>Nancy's Splinter Town

>>23664320
>-_-

get out

Can't really think of anything other than the required "calls everything Nintendo" characteristic of every parent ever.

My sister once thought Melee was "Street Fighter in 3-D" but that's forgivable considering she's 5 and I'm a humongous Third Strike fag.

>>23664758

Maybe it happened a long time ago?

>>23664663

SMT: Nocturne pretty much IS a Pokemon game.

A long time ago on Super Mario Kart SNES, my dad called Koopa Troopa "Duck" and the shells were bullets.

>>23665064

I mean he thought it was a straight-up, from Nintendo, developed by Gamefreak, canonical part of the series Pokemon game.

my dad says playing as dhalsim is cheating

Years ago my cousin and I were playing Perfect Dark together, and my aunt walks in and asks why we were running around shooting people. I tried to contextualize the game but she made us turn it off anyway because she didn't believe me when I told her that some video games have storylines now.

My mom knows the difference between all the systems and games so no, don't have that problem. : /

Whenever my dad goes out to the shops and I'm at home. He'll often say there were new games "that look good". Not once has he told me what these games are called.I could be missing out of the holy grail.

>>23665370
your dad is a scrub

ITT: Faggots who don't know this board isn't 18+ and need to gb2/b/

grandma calls the ps "stayplation"

>>23664893

l-loli :3c

My dad says video games are for gay people.

Except madden

He likes brett farve. Has pictures of him everywhere.

My dad is cool.

>>23665624
Itt: Faggots who don't know the global rules.

My mum is well trained I suppose. If she sees a game that looks relevant to my interests she'll buy it if it's cheap or come home and say "oh *game* looks good, you may like it"

>>23664320

>>23664394

Mostly this but back when I was a kid, but I think most of my relatives have better sense with video games now.

My parents are pretty much alright when it comes to games. My dad gets amazed at the graphics of the current generation of games. He sat watching me play GTAIV for at least half an hour when it first came out. My mom's the one who makes the humorous errors, saying things like "Game-Box" and "X-Cube" in complete seriousness.

>>23665624

All of 4chan is 18+ only, but there's no way to stop the little bastards flooding into every nook and cranny.

Ah, I still remember when me and my dad were playing through Silent Hill 2.

Dad: Holy crap, was that thing just having sex with those monsters? YOU JUST GOT A GUN SHOOT IT!

HOLY SHIT, IT'S BACK? HAHAHAHA, OH WOW, THIS GAME IS FUCKED UP

:D Great memories. Also, he told me the Vorts in HL2 creeped him out, and he kept telling me to shoot them

>>23665792

Pretty much the same here. Only my dad believes that graphics make the game, with gameplay being a distant second on his list.

whenever I watched youtube videos at work this old woman always used to ask me if I was playing a game.. same thing when I posted on forums. shit drove me ape shit

>>23665624
global rules brah
that's why we say underage b&

>-_-
go away

My mom thinks my playstation 3 is just a blu-ray dvd player.

I haven't tried to explain to her the reality yet.

I don't know if I'll ever have to.

My dad hadn't played vidya since crash bandicoot, so years later when I get Brawl as my first game for my Wii and he says: "Is this your new game so-- You prat, you bought a new crash bandicoot game? Why the fuck are you spending 400$ on a Nintendo Wii when you have a playstation that does the same damn thing." Then he saw pikachu being played and said: "Is that pichichu?"

My dad ;_;

When I came back home for winter break, my little sister and one of her friends glanced over at my 'lil bro and saw him playing TF2.
The girl says, "Which Halo is that? I thought I had seen all of them?" I could sense the rage building within him.

My kid brother then proceeded to tell that bitch off.
I was so proud, /v/.

My mom called my DS "gameboy".

My grandmother calls every console a "Mega Drive" and she always asks me if I still buy "tapes" to "watch" on my "mega drives".

my mom was always ok and knew the ames of shit but my dad called a memory card a "memory cube" and a wii a "wee-oh"

>>23666072
Your little borther is awesome, your little sister is rape fodder.

>>23666114
My grandmother is dead.

But yeah, she did the same thing. She used to say things like "Here's 50p, go buy yourself a tape".

And then proceed to hand over £20, which my parents always told me not to take.

Lol, senile people.

>>23666054
I bet she can't tell different games apart, cause my mom can't.

DSes were "Gameboys" until my mom actually started using them

>>23666241
Mine saw me play through disc 1 of FF7 when I was like 13. She'd just sit there, knitting something, glancing at the screen. I think she just wanted to be close to me...

My Dad is okay with games and plays mostly FPS and RPGs (Baldur's Gate and the like) himself. He's not terribly good though, plays on easy and gets me to do hard parts for him sometimes, like the Beserkers from GoW when I let him play my 360. It's fine though, he just likes to shoot a few guys after a day at work.

I call my DS a gameboy.

My girlfriend gets right pissed and hits me when I do.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, /v/?

>>23666054
>My mom thinks my playstation 3 is just a blu-ray dvd player.
it is. dont even pretend that thing's a gaming console

>>23666054
>ps3
>anything but a blu-ray player
Got some bad news for you bro.

>>23666510
DS is a gameboy. It's THE GAMEBOY DUEL SCREEN

My mom calls playstation a "power station"

Any fps is called "Stupid killing game"

My dad thinks WoW is called "Blizzard" and he refuses to believe me otherwise

Back when I was about 7 or 8 I remember most parents calling pokemon "poke-mens" or "poke-mans" pronouncing poke as in poking somebody.

I still call my DS a gameboy. I can't shake the habit.

>>23664320
Hey OP ever think she might be doing it on purpose? Because she is. Any parent who says it wrong is doing it wrong on purpose in order to make you hate games like they do, it works sometimes. I've seen a childhood friend of mine start to hate all video games because his dad called everything nintendo and "mario games" and "pacman" and such other bullshit.

Trust me, just don't talk to her about games anymore EVER and ignore her when she makes a mistake.

I'm the person who makes such errors, since I only play PC games and nothing with 3d graphics.

I actually asked about the "Gamebox" once.

>>23666562
en garde

I remember as a young lad my dad would take me to the arcade every weekend and we'd play Primal Rage and that Alien: The Gun game (like a rail shooter, can't remember it's name exactly) I remember my dad would absolutely whoop the shit out of me in Primal Rage, but I didn't care.

Keep taking me until arcades went outta fashion.

>>23666510
you should leave that bitch, fucking abusive whore.

One time I was playing Fallout and my mom walked in the room, she said something about liking the graphics.

This happened maybe a year ago.

My douchebag cousin calls Konkey Dong, Donkey Kong.
Shit shit pissed me off so badly that I smoked all his weed and punched a hooker.

My dad apparently loved Castlevania when he was younger. He bought me the PS2 one for my birthday, but I couldn't really get into it that much.

My dad got my brother and me into video games. I watched him play Doom on his old computer all the time. Then one day he passed the torch to his 5-year-old daughter and taught me how to kill the demons.

>>23666880
You are the demons. And then you were a zombie.

My dad some times buys me games. They sit there, gathering dust. My dad does this with many things.. Things I never really appreciate. I feel bad, because I'm sure he cries about not being able to get his son something good.
But I am not playing those games. Those are just bad, bad games.

>>23666924
Fuck!

>>23666880
What happened to his 5 year-old daughter bro?

>>23664320
Call Blockbuster your self you piece of shit.

When I was a kid my mother would call the SNES the "Sega" or "Gameboy" and then correct her self in a flurry of rage. Or she would call it the "Nintendo" leaving out the "Super" or call it the Super Nintendo, as it was, and then laugh and say "I mean Sega, I know what it is" and with out a reaction from me would scream "What ever! It's stupid anyway".

My household never even owned a Sega product or gameboy. So I didn't know where she got that from since generally all systems are "the Nintendo" regardless.

And I would only rarely correct her in casual conversation: its not like she ever bought a title for Sega expecting my siblings and I to play it on the SNES. I never ever corrected her when she was having an ape shit fit.

Years later and after my aunt put my mother in a mental hospital for a few weeks: I would look back on these instances and realize that my elementary school "friends" were the same kind of spoiled, limp dick, fuck wits that were given every system and would bitch to other people and throw fits about their parents confusing all of them. The parents of my friends must have told my mother stories about confiscating their Sega's and SNES's because of this, and my mother must have got it in her head that it was something she could go ape shit over in our house hold. Going ape shit was her favorite thing to do.

In during a cool story for bro's.

>>23666927
You're killing your dad, all he's trying to do is connect with you. Play those games you fucker and make your dad happy.

My mom plays games like Diner Dash and Cake Mania. And... when I visit her... I do too.

Fuck all y'all, Cake Mania is addictive.

My grandma introduced me to gaming- We played LoZ: ALttP, Legend of Mana, Legend of Evermore, and a whole slew of original Gameboy games (something with a Mole, the gameboy Mario game, etc.). She bought me a Sega Genesis for my ninth birthday. She introduced me to Myst and Riven.

We had plans of going out to buy an N64 (which had recently come out) when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It migrated to her brain and she was dead within a year.

Last gift she bought me was that n64.

So when my parents make fun of me for being a nerd, needing to grow up, having an "addiction"... I just blow them off.

>>23664659

No, it's a horror game where the splintered (A human race separated for so long they became almost an entirely different species) have been enslaved. Nancy a psychic must save them but ironically you kill a bunch of them throughout the game.

>>23666927
Tell him what you want, goddamn.

My girlfriend hates FPS games, but plays them whenever she watches me. "OH OH LET ME PLAY, LET ME PLAY" because it looks so fun to her.

She also builds computers with me. I make her do it nude some times.

>she called blockbuster because I wanted to know if they had a game.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Your mom is cute

>>23667089
no girlfriend, hand etc.

>>23667019
I tried, I really did, but I couldn't get into them...

>>23667046
He buys the wrong things. He can't remember the title of anything to save his life. The last time he did this I didn't have the heart to tell him I wanted something else. He was so happy that he had done something right.

My parents didn't want to buy me any console when i was a kid ;_;
Believe it or not, they don't know who Mario is
I don't blame them, videogames are non-existent in my country

OP is clearly a troll you fucking idiots.

>>23667032
;_;

My dad calls the PS3 the PSP sometimes.

My dad isn't really into gaming and all, but into it enough not to be casual Wii shit. He was into Myst and Riven, some others too, but now is just into racing games, mostly Gran Turismo.
My mom was one of those who would call every system "nintendo" but, at least acknowledged that me playing the vidya wasn't a horrible thing for me. She wasn't really fond of shooters though.

>>23666927

My mother used to think Diablo 2 was called Diabolical. When my father and I got into Everquest, she came up with the nickname Evercrack without any internet exposure.

"Nancy's Spinter Town"

oh man is that fucking funny

Pic related, only with my cousin, and he did the same damn thing with Mortal Kombat 2.

>>23666072
cool bro bro.

Oh god, Nancy's Splinter Town. That's fucking awesome.

I believe it's safe to say that "Nancy's Splinter Town" is now a meme. We all think it's hilarious, it's memorable, and I can see it sticking.

My grandparents recently bought a Wii and were wondering why it wouldn't play the blu-ray movies they got with it.

>>23666927
My dad buys terrible games too. But he generally buys them when traveling abroad, meaning that I have around 14 or so European games (half unplayed) that no UK retailer will accept.
