Do you think I should buy a wii?

when i play a pc game one of my aunts will ask "is that playstation?"

He's in his room playing MARIOS!

That kid's been on the computer for HOURS.

Nephew, I am disappoint.

are ya winning?

"Are you winning?"

>>33696349
>>33696345
WHY DO ALL OLDER RELATIVES SAY THIS, HOLY SHIT

Are you winning? Who's the guy with the sword? Are you the guy with the sword? Etc.

"When did you get an Xbox? Let's play some Halo.

What do you mean you don't have Halo?"

Videogames ain't gonna offer you food, son.

No one says anything.

Playing video games is a pretty normal thing.

My cousins might ask some general game things, but other than that, they don't say much.

My relatives actually tend to avoid me when I play video games, probably I cause I have a tendency to make sudden outburts while playing things like Team Fortress 2 that are generally just strings of 4-letter words decrying my opponents mothers and implying that they work in the trade of prostitution.

Whatcha playing?

This is a bit different then what the OP is asking for, but when my underageban cousin came over his parents asked that i try make sure he doesnt play any games that are too violent. Well this kid managed to wake up hours before me and he was able to play gta3 for hours without me noticing. By that point i didnt even really care and i let him play

this thread made me laugh. Awesome stuff, keep going bros.

>>33696497
I hate you.

"You don't kill the hooker afterwards, that's just bad manners."

My grandad, bless his heart.

I remember playing StarCraft one time, and it was on the briefing screen with zeratul and a scout image.

My parents thought the game was satanic.

>>33696497
>outburts

"Hey, uncle, can I play? :3"

"No"

"But I played the other day"

"Don't care"

"When will you let me play?"

"When you're older"

LET ME PLAY, C'MON I WANNA PLAY, LET ME PLAY ALREADY. ITS MY TURN.

Which guy are you?

"every time i've over you are always playing that game"

I'm usually playing my 360, and no matter what game I'm playing my uncle just calls it "the game"
Fucking faggot.

"i am gay"

When playing Zelda.
"What level are you on?"

why does that girls bounce so much?

>>33696766

The one I just lost? ):

geez, you're STILL on that game?

What are you playing?
Answer goes here.
Can I play?
Sorry, it's one player only.
Can I watch?
Sure.


7 and 3 year old cousins are easy to deal with, and it's fun to try and teach them how to play games when it is multiplayer.

Does anyone else's parents play on one of those free "game" websites like pogo?

"OH MAN, THAT DRAGON IS HUGE!"

"Yeah."

"OH MAN, YOUR SWORD IS HUGE!"

"...Yeah."

"OH MAN, LOOK OUT, AW SNAP< SON OF BITCH!"

"...Die...please."

They made a Street Fighter 3?

>>33696909

Yep, If it was WoW, my mom would be a High Warlord at Poppit by now.

hey don't you think it's about time to unplug that thing?

>My mommy says video games invite the devil into our house.

God damn, raise your children properly, idiots. None of this religious fear bullshit.

While I'm playing an FPS:
Can I play?
No.
Please?
No, let's play super smash brothers.
because ssb is for children
I genuinely do this, not trolling

My cousins and I play Goldeneye whenever they come over. Shit's awesome.

>>33696908
I have 5 cousins, one is 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10.

All from the same mother.

All from four different fathers.

The oldest 2 are autistic.

They live in a trailer where i refuse to visit.

I use both locks on my door when they visit.

I hate my extended family.

>>33697012

SSB and Brawl are for children

Whenever I die or even get hit in any game, my cousins will yell shit like
"OOOOH SHIT OWNEEDD" or "HAHHA FUCKIN' SUCK"
Oh my god. I hate them so much.
I have to babysit them while their parents are in town. It's sad because they're like 16.

What are you playing?

[Insert random JRPG]

What is it about?

err...


Why can't they come over when I'm playing something an FPS?

>>33697088
Just say yes.

"Turn that off and come outside. It's a gorgeous day out."

>>33697084
I LOL'D

turn that machine off and come get something to eat

>>33697009
My father is extreamly religious, but his logic is:
The bible has violance, we are sposed to teach out kids to read the bible, so whats the difference between reading the bible and violent games?

This man got me goldeneye, when I was 9.

>>33697219
I meant: "Let's come up with an answer that doesn't make us die a little inside."

>>33697088

"In the game I am, not in life tho..."

>>33697084
Cool story bro.

>>33697088
I ALWAYS WIN, GRAMPS.

>>33697219
Yes doesn't exactly work, if you say yes your parents embaress you infront of their friends by bragging how good you are at video games.

50% play the vidya.
The other 30% knows that I am brilliant, and respects how I use my time. The other 20% won't make the mistake again of asking:"ARE YOU BETTER THAN THEM, COUSIN?"

>>33697291
"Trying to" works for me, that and "kinda busy right now".

>>33697088
Okay, okay.
If possible, pause the game. Unless it's online, then this probably won't work.

Pause it.
Turn around fast and get as close to their face as possible.
"Does it fucking look like I'm winning goddamn"
That's how you do it.

>>33696909
god this, my mom downloads all those kind of puzzle games from wild tangent and shit, and wonders why their computer is so fucked up.

My cousin always asks for cheat codes for every goddamn game.

>>33697219
I always say yes to this question, no matter what.

HEY CAN I PLAY?!

No.

WHY NOT?!

Because it's a single player game, and I don't want you messing up my file.

Dad, Uncle, or some other guy says: Aww come on, it's just a game, so what if he messes up?

BECAUSE I'VE PUT IN 100 HOURS IN THIS GAME. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I JUST TOOK AWAY 100 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE.

I usually play video games at holiday family gatherings instead of actually hanging in the same room as the family. Was playing FFIX in the basement on the thanksgiving after it came out--when I went upstairs to get a coke, my uncle stopped me.
"Hey! Did you save the world yet?"
"Dude, I saved it like twice. Now I'm gonna save the universe."
"Hell yeah, kick their asses."
Then I walked back downstairs with my coke.
Then I walked back with my coke.

"Lets play some game"
"Wow you're good"
"Lets play other game"

This one time at my extended relatives house my cousin wanted to play x-box and I had never, not once played gears of war.

So I'm pretty much getting owned and my one dead-beat uncle keeps on taunting me, and this one bitch ass aunt I never see is cheering for my cousin. After I started to get the hang of it I actually won a game and I get no praise. So we switch to halo. I hate halo but I've played a lot of it because it's like the only four player game my friends had through out the early 2000's.

I basically just wrecked his shit constantly. Over and over I killed him with the pistol, stuck him, lazered him and basically killed him every way possible. Silence. I hate my dads side of the family, they play favorites way to much just because I live far away and I have nothing to talk to them about.

"I'm not sure I'm understanding this game. I mean, that old guy seems like the only likable character."

>What do you mean?

"Well from what I've seen, everyone else is either a cyborg or a jerky soldier or something. They're all melodramatic and talking about their problems and stuff, and he's like "I don't care" and smokes a cigarette. I just don't get why the writers put such a laid-back character in a game full of sissies."

--My 12-year-old cousin. She doesn't like MGS4.

>>33697473
My mom got herself the Vundo virus last week, actually.
"YOU GOTTA DELETE SOME MUSIC OFFA HERE HOW DO I DO THAT CAUSE IT SLOWS DOWN MY COMPUTER"
I have like, a gig of music on there. Tops.
She has like 15 gigs of fucking "BigFish" or [bullshitcompanynamehere] Click and point games.
The computer is slow as hell, and I ask her if she wants a new one she says
"Well I just got off the phone with the Geek Squad and they said all we have to do is reformat the hard drive. Can you do that for me?"
Fuck Geek Squad.

>>33697378
Fucking this, I don't consider myself as a hardcore gamer, but certainly not casual, but god damn this.

I just say yes and she goes on about when I was 5 I was playing mario bros and how good I was, and I just want to fucking break something.

>>33697560
>Then I walked back downstairs with my coke.
>Then I walked back with my coke.

>>33697615
>I just don't get why the writers put such a laid-back character in a game full of sissies.

oh ho that slaps me on the knee

>>33697615
Snake's always been "like whateva"

>>33697088

I don't get why this question is hard.

If they ask it is because they are genuinely interested in what you are doing, usually.

If I am winning I tell them "Yes sir!"

If I am having trouble or losing? "Haha, trying to get there...but it's a little frustrating!"

If they ask more, just tell them.

Jesus christ you people can not FUNCTION in reality can you?

>>33697525
The other day I was playing pokemon and my 5 years old nephew asks me.

"What are you playing?"
"Pokemon"
"Can I play"
"No you can't"
"Why not, I wanna play pokemon"
"Just because"

Then he goes with my dad and tells him

"Tell him to let me play pokemon"

WHY? ITS NOT LIKE HE BOUGHT THE FUCKING DS NOR THE FUCKING GAME, WHY WOULD I LISTEN TO MY FUCKING DAD?

>>33697615
She's right

*Playing Rock Band*

Hey you're pretty good at this.

Thanks.

Do you think your cousin can play?

Does she want to?

Yes.

Okay, hold on.

What are you doing?

I'm changing the difficulty, there's no way she could be able to play the songs on expert.

That's rude, have a little faith in your cousin.

...Okay...

...

CLICK-A BANG CLICK CLICK FWANG. Boo! Song Failed.

>>33697615

>>33697615

Your twelve year old cousin plays Metal Gear Solid?

>>33697088
I either assess how I'm actually doing and answer with "pretty much" or "not really"

Or I just reply with a rowdy "OF COURSE!" and go off about how badly I'm kicking ass.

>>33697968
>Hey you're pretty good

Hey, do you saw that new playstation? Its called WE or something, its fucking realistic!

>>33696909

yeah. my grammaw only uses AOL because she thinks it's the "only internet that will play poe go"

>>33697088
I AM THE GAME. ZALGO!

Playing TF2 or some other online game.

Mom:"Pause your game so you can take out the trash." or "So you can come and eat dinner!"

>>33698431
same with me, only during cutscenes.
D:<

Nothing
THEY SAY NOTHING

What are you playing?

My older cousin was confused I still played them.

>>33697615
I want to adopt her

They don't say anything.

They don't care about what I'm doing.
I don't care about what they're doing.

We have an understanding.

I actually make an effort to be social at family gatherings. It's my trailer trash cousins who are glued to their DS and the TV from the time they enter until the time they leave.

My mother TRULY BELIEVES that every videogame is the same thing. And she stand by her statement.
One day, she looked at me, i was playing Unreal Tournament, and she said " How can't you get tired of SEEING always the same thing on the screen?"
She has been watching her favourite soap opera for 10 years. And she still does.

What's that console? A Super Nintendo?

It's a Playstation 3

When ever I have relatives over I generally shut down whatever I'm playing. You know like a normal human being.

If they happen to play games (few do) then we'll play together.

Me playing RE4 a few years ago...

Uncle: "Them mario games are gonna kill your brain".

Me: "Huh?"

Uncle: "I said those games are killing your brain!"

Me: "How?"

Uncle: "Shut off that machine and go outside. It's beautiful! Also the football game is on and I need to check the score cause I've got a bet on the Steelers."

Me: "Them games are gonna kill your brain."

>>33698793

>>33698898

True story.

I remember my religious aunt coming over and giving the tapping foot + "hmmm..." at my Frank Frazetta posters with the naked maidens and barbarians beating the shit out of mountains of black people

Theres a reason my family never gathers unless its Christmas or Moms Birthday or something.
And even then theres only my female cousin, shes pretty cool and knows I dont waste my time playing the vidya.
I usually just browse the internet at those times anyway.

>>33698753

A normal human being that doesn't know the rules of grammar, that is.

>>33698986
>my female cousin
Carry on...

>>33697219
I meant: "Let's come up with an answer that doesn't make us die a little inside."

>>33699130
She has a boyfriend for over 2 years now. Sorry bro.

>>33699161
So?

"Why does he spend all of his time talking to himself in the corner playing video games?"
said by my aunt when I was talking in ventrilo while playing EVE

Hey can I play Brawl?
Sure...
Hey can I play Brawl?
Sure...
Hey can I play Brawl?
Sure...
*Walks in room*
Hey let's Brawl together.
Alright!!!
*Beats the shit out of him*
I HATE THIS GAME IT'S BORING!!! I HATE IT!!!

And that's why I don't play games with relatives...

"Which one are you?"

i was playing mirrors edge

My uncles always so damn condescending to me about video games. "So what'd you do today huh, VIDEO GAMES? That doesn't surprise me."
He walked in when my younger cousin was saying something to me while I was playing my DS, forget what it was but I was replying to him. My uncle must not have heard me replying because he says out of the blue as he comes in "Oh she doesn't care she's too absorbed in her video games."
Bastard. Somehow I always end up sitting next to him at the table, I hate it.

>>33699219
lol

>>33699277
He sounds like those fat uncles who apparently believe they are superior to everybody but yet are failures themselves. I hate those uncles.

>>33699177
No touchy zone.

>>33699219
I lol'd.

Which one were you, though?

>>33699277
Move out of your parents house, you underage b&.

So what are you playing.

>>33699277

tits or gtfo

>>33699371
Do ho ho

>>33697615
Purchase him or her a pack of cigarettes and Metal Gear Solid and a PlayStation. He or she is ready.

>>33699277
I'm calling shinanningans on this BS...Show us your dick you fucking shit tripfag.

Every single time i'm about to do a mission, my stupid fat cousin calls me to see if I want to go bowling, or 'look at some American teeties'. The fat prick does it like 4 times a day, even though i've said no like a hundred times.

I talk to my family. Like a human being.

>>33699488
>>33699403
WTF are we?!

/b/ with SOME vidya games?!

''Are you winning?''

*I turn around looking at him*

''Well yeah, currently I am''

*look back at screen*

*You have been killed, respawn 15.. 14..*

''Haha! Doesn't look like it!''

Love fps.

>>33699488
go back to /b/, theres enough dicks for the likes of you

My older relatives doesn't pay much attention to me or anyone else playing games - they're fascinated by the game itself, always going:
"Would you look at that! It almost looks real, doesn't it? I remember when we bought them Super Mario for christmas when they're were younger!"

>>33699277

Oh god that made me rage.

>>33699277
Are you hot? Got any pics?

Can you pause the game and come down here?

while I'm playing TF2....

>>33699277

Haha same for me, only instead of my uncle, it's my dad. :(

>>33699219

I think people get bothered by "are ya winnin'?" because they feel it only really applies to direct competition like in team-based FPSs or something.

If you're playing a 3rd person platformer, the question is a little hard to even understand, let alone answer.

>>33697266
I geuss I'm pretty lucky too. I, along with my family, am christian, but my parents are perfectly fine with all games, and have never outspoken something as satanic unless we're talking about satan (kind of a long shot, I know).

The only time my family bothers me while playing the vidya other than the normal bullshit is when my uncle is over. He also plays the vidya, and he just sits down next to me and just starts talking to me. It isn't just annoying chit-chat, he is knowingly trying to bother me. especially during cutscenes and boss fights. It does become funny though.

Goodness, summer /v/ is easy to troll.

>>33696497
You sir win. Nice job at evading the question.

>>33696125
Isn't that a bit gory for a video game? Is that normal these days for them to show THAT MUCH BLOOD? I can't believe how graphic that last kill was....
That's just from Gears of War on my Xbox. Can't wait to show them GTA4 some time.

>>33699635
my dad does that, i remember when i first got COD4 and he waltzed into my room as i was playing it and said "how can you play a game so realistic without shitting yourself!? that grenade just blew your arm of crikey!"
YEA I KNOW BECAUSE YOUR SHAKING MY HEAD GODDAMN

>>33699752

Just trolling trolls who troll trolls

"Pause that game and come visit your family."

"Oh hi, sorry it's an online game so I can't pause it but I'll be in in a minute."

"Well just pause it and come in here. We barely ever see you and you're always playing those games."

In actuality, I see these people all the time as they don't live very far away, and I'd rather finish my game of TF2 than go sit uncomfortably in the living room and bullshit about random bullshit that I don't care about with people that don't know what they're talking about.

>>33697893
People asking that are usually trying to be sarcastic as you're playing a video game and they view video games as children's toys.

HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

>>are you winnin?

NO YOU CANT WIN THIS GAME IT GOES ON FOREVER

i have like 10 aunts and uncles. 8 cousins. Fuck, i can barely remember their names. Yes, im mexican. But the rich kind that get kidnapped a lot.

I have another one:

Playin' Pokemon Gold on my DS (nostalgia :3. I had found it the week before and was kicking ass with my Espeon). My cousin comes over to me.

Cousin: "What are you playing?"

Me: "Pokemon"

Cousin: "AHAHAHAHA. Pokemon is for kids!"

Me: "No it's not. It's a really fun game!"

Cousin: "Halo 3 is WAY better. I played it at my friend's house and it was so much cooler than stupid Pokemon."

Me: [facepalming like Picard on cocaine]

>>33699277
>>33699660
I'm not seeing a problem here.

Also I used to play the SNES during Thanksgiving, xmas, etc. Now I pretty much just chill in the living room with everyone else.

Sometimes I think my uncle visits /v/, last thanksgiving he was slowly leaning toward me while I was playing tf2, a huge grin on his face as he drew his mouth toward my ear, he then whispered softly
"Hey sonny..."
Then suddenly he just plain shouted, right into my ear.
"ARE YA WINNAN?"

>>33699506
Like Roman!

>>33700221

That conversation sounds rather contrived.

>"Are you winning?"
I'm playing WoW and checking the auction house, there is no winning or losing.

>"Pause the game and come see your relatives!"
I can't it's TF2 what the fuck

>"Can I play?"
No goddamn it's single player

>"Can I play?"
It's still fucking single player

>"Can we play something that's multiplayer?"
I'm on a fucking PC, unless you're carrying a computer with you I don't think so.

>"It's my turn!"
Says the fuck who? It's my game, my PC, my fucking house. Go away.

>"HAHAHAAH WOW YOU SUCK AT THIS GAME"
Fuck off you're like 14 holy shit do you even know what this game is

>>33700262

lol

>>33700262
The troll face uncle anon wants to be

My grandma when coming to tell me about some stuff she saw on TV (she usually does this)

*starts then cuts in mid sentence*
"Are you playing ONLINE or you can pause?"
If I say online then she won't disturb me, if I say no then she will tell me whatever is on her mind.

She's nice.

>>33700367

Well my family is very bland.

ITT: Underage b& and neckbeards that still live with their parents.

My mum: Can I come past the TV?

She says this as she steps past.

My dad: How's it going?

My dad used to play games more than me so he knows how to act when I'm vidya'ing.

>>33700406
I play multiplayer games on the PC all the time, just plug in the xbox controller and the other one gets the keyboard.

>>33697893
Oh wow is this a normal person?

>>33699752
Goodness me, a female tripfag.

>>33697635
>"YOU GOTTA DELETE SOME MUSIC OFFA HERE HOW DO I DO THAT CAUSE IT SLOWS DOWN MY COMPUTER"
Oh fucking hell, it's my entire childhood and early teenage years coming right at me.

"DID you install some game called "Diablo"?? THAT STUFF PUTS VIRUS'S ON THE COMPUTER, GET IT OFF!!!"

A couple of years ago at New Years my cousin and I were having a gay old time in my room: he and his girlfriend were making out on the bed and I was playing AoK.

Said cousin's mother (my Aunt) comes in, and says (to me) "You're such a nerd! Why aren't you on porn?"

The cousins I play video games are usually older, or just a year younger than me. They just play Skate 2 or some game that I don't really care about my file.

Shit's so cash.

Uncle: ARE YA PLAYIN THE VIDYA?
I swear to God he says it just like that.

First time I played guitar hero in front of my uncle, he thought it was a video, and I wasn't doing anything.

What the hell is wrong with you? First you're playing ultra violent games, now you're playing this happy looking kid game.
(Dark Cloud 2)

"Did he just swear?!"

way to reply just because she said she was female guys

I was playing WoW last Thanksgiving, and one of my female cousins comes out of nowhere and goes "Watcha playin'?"

I responded with "World of Warcraft, it's pretty - " "Pfft, WoW is easy. I beat it already, a while back."

She cut me off to tell me she beat a game with no ending.

"Did you now?"

"Yeah, my stepdad's brother works for them. I talked to him and he gave me some cheat codes."

"Uh huh..."

"Yeah, you put them in, fight this big purple dragon thing, and then you win the game."

"Two things are wrong with your statement."

"There's nothing wrong with it, are you retarded?"

"#1 - World of Warcraft doesn't end. You can't beat a game with no ending."

"Bullshit!"

"#2 - You don't even have a stepdad. Your parents are happily married and in the motherfucking living room. Want to keep going?"

I laughed pretty damn hard when I told her parents what she had said. The expression was priceless.

Oh yeah, when they ask you "Watcha playin'?"

>>33700483
>Underage b& and neckbeards that still live with their parents.

Well, i'm sorry that I can't afford to buy a house in the middle of a recession, living on a tiny income from a part-time job, and up to my neck in University fees. Also, my 9 year-old cousin hates it when I play Pokemanz, and always asks to play Halo 3. Feels bad, man.

Shit like this ALWAYS makes me wonder if everyone's extended family is completely unaware of technology or even the internet.

Que estas jugando mijo?

>>33697615
HAHA your cousin is fucking right

>>33700672
My mom has always been good with the video game stuff,
but god damn, if the computer has any problem ever, it was my fault somehow.
Sure, I caused problems, but so did she damn it.

>>33700914
I heard dark cloud 3 is coming out. Please let this be true.

I'm always playing multiplayer with my cousins, so the question that gets asked is: "Who's winning?".

My grandma is hella chill about it. She'll come in if she has a question and say "Are you playing a match?" if I'm playing CSS. I showed her Crysis one time and she sat there watching me play for like 10 minutes straight. She'll bring me tea and food sometimes when I'm playing (usually because I don't eat if I'm playing a lot that day, but she wants me to be well nourished). Fuckin love my grandma

>>33701102
Best thing I read all day.
Everyone knew someone like that growing up, glad to see they still exist.

>>33700672
My parents believed that computers contracted viruses by inserting CDs that have been left outside of their cases.

oh wow...i read though this like ultra-violet

>>33700221
Bullshit story is bullshit

Not exactly about the vidya, but my mom thinks if you put a lot of stuff on a HDD the computer will go slower.

>>33701374
Wow, your grandma is awesome. My grandma does that too!

>>33701102

I've never even played WoW, don't plan to, and I hate it because my brother's a slave to it and has ruined his life with it.

But I'm offended by your cousin.
