I'm spending the holidays with the folks, and I was playing some Destiny today. My dad was watching me over my shoulder. About five minutes in, he said, "Are you kids still playing Wolfenstein? It gives me a headache just watching." Ok dad.

He also refers to all third person games as Zelda.

What are some other fun names your parents/SO's give video games.

My parents call all shooters Halo and used to think that Master Chief is a chef so when I asked them to get me a Master Chief T-shirt they almost bought me the MasterChef tv series t-shirt, luckily they couldn't find it so they asked me to ask for something else

I have to give you credit for putting this much thought into your product placement.

Your Dad knew Wolfenstein but not Destiny? Wow.

This isn't a game, but my mom thought HD (as in high definition) meant hard drive, and continued to call it watching something in the hard drive even after numerous corrections.

My mother never called them any more than just "games". "Are you playing that game?", "oh I thought you played that game last month", etc. I don't think she realized there were more than one. Now I'm 24 so.. we don't really discuss games.
