Has any of you ever had your parents or family members comment on some of the game sequences that they saw ? For example, I was playing FFIX a while back, and my mother was walking by as FFIX's intro seequence was playing. So this huge castle (Alexandra) showed up with these beautiful waterfalls and all in the background. My mother saw that and immediately said, "So how do the people there get food and stuff ?".

Hahaha, I thought it was a pretty funny comment.

Plenty . My father would sometimes imitate the cliche blurps from Red Alert ('Yes Sir!' 'Affirmative!') because of the corny (Russian) accents. He also heard his fair share of 'Hadoken!' and stuff like that :lol .

Last weekend I was at my parents home, playing MGS3. First my father commented how tame al those so-called 'wild' animals were, later my mother was kinda shocked when I pushed a guard into an electrical fence.

My dad loved to shout "How are you Ken?" when my friend and I played SF2.

At one point, he heard Sephiroth's song and thought it was a demon song.
"No dad, the enemy's an angel!" *laughs

My parents are Super Bomberman players. They want to play each time I go at their house and their goal is to beat me. Poor them :lol

I recently "upgraded" my dad to Splinter Cell CT coop. It was so funny. He kept alarming the gards and I tried to kill them all. It worked to some extent until we wasted all our lives.

I was playing the Driver's Ed level in Parappa the rapper and the instructor kept saying "turn to the left, to the right". Later that night we were driving to a resturant and he kept saying "now turn to the left now turn to the right" whenever he turned the car.


I was playing MGS3 and was fighting the End and my dad was watching me play. He was trying to give me pointers ( :lol ) on sniping. Needless to say the fight was more like an episode of Looney Tunes instead of MGS. Whenever i brought up the inventory during a firefight he thought i was cheating because everything stopped moving.

Let's see... He always had comments while I was playing some Transport Tycoon Deluxe some years ago, later on when me and my brother were playing CounterStrike over our network he always had comments on where to hide and the like. Needless to say he always managed to spoil it, we didn't even have to look for each other since we both knew exactly where we were....

It was only a few days when I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3, my dad came into my room, saw me sit there and looked at the TV. I was sneaking behind one of the guards, and told him to freeze. My dad kept watching, and saw the silly looking dance, immediately asking what movie this was. He looked at me, looked at the controller, looked at me and simply walked away.. Saying something like 'I should've known.'

The funny part? He always told me, after I said to him that graphics are becoming more life-like, that he would see immediately if it was a game or not. He didn't even last this generation, let alone when the next comes

I remember I was playing FFX, and casting Holy after Yuna had gotten her best weapon and the Break Damage Limit ability. My dad saw the 99,999 pop up over the enemy; "is that short for 'Holy Shit'??"

My dad loved to shout "How are you Ken?" when my friend and I played SF2.

Haha, my friends always thought Ryu said "for you Ken," because they were allies, and they thought Ken said "for you Ken," because he was a conceited jackass. Oh no videogamers, what will we do with you?

Most recent commentary from a non-gamer: I show friend Ninja Gaiden and he's impressed by the graphics, but less impressed by our favourite ninja's garb, "that suit looks pretty gay." I guess the tight leather and shit kind of is but...idiot.

A friend of mine (who's black) had this to say about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...

"That n*****'s on a jet pack? That's fuckin' crazy."

I laughed for about 5 minutes.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Dad: What game is that?
Me: Last Bronx
Dad: There's no guys in there named "Jackie" are there?

Years ago playing Donkey Kong Country 2, mother says: "Whats's this? Kronky and Diddy Bongo?"

 

[StarscreamLSU]

A few years ago I was playing Metal Gear Solid 1 and was right at the ending. My dad was by the computer and yells to me, "Seems like a lot of dialog, when do you get to actually play that game?"

Another was when I was at a friend's house playing a Co-op game of Star Wars Arcade on the 32x. Whenever you'd take like 3 hits Artoo would squeal. After about 2 hours of that my friend's dad stormed into the room and asked what kept making that high-pitched noise. After telling him it was Artoo he said, "It's bothering me, so you two had better become ace pilots or I'm turning the damn thing off."

Rei_Toei, you're lucky. My parents took turns playing Super Mario Bros. with me once or twice about 17 years ago, and they haven't touched videogames since.

 

[LakeEarth]

One time me and my friend were playing All-Star Baseball 99 for the N64 and his dad walks in and says "who's playing" and we replied "Err...we are". He thought it was an actual baseball game :lol

He probably barely looked at the screen and went by what he was hearing though.

 

[blackadde]

Mostly "What the hell is that?" followed shortly thereafter by "Shut that damn thing off."
