Guest ward Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ok, so I used to play Day of Defeat (HL mod) for years in clans, competitions etc Played at the highest level for the game, and had a great time. I was brought up playing Doom, Quake etc thanks to my dad being a gaming enthusiast when he was younger, always had a PC of some sort, Atari when i was really young. Now my dad is in his mid-50s and he plays Day of Defeat: Source in his office, which is across from my room. He always has the door open, speakers blasting, so all I can hear for hours on end is world war 2 gun fire and the most obscene swearing i've not heard from him since I used to go to football matches with him. Examples: "MOVE UP THAT FUCKING MACHINEGUN TO THE RIGHT, WHAT'S THE POINT IN STAYING THERE WE'RE GETTING SLAUGHTERED" "OH YOU PRICK" "TWAT!!" "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE, GET THE FUCKING FLAG" "BUGGER!" etc It's like I'm listening to myself when I was 15/16, it's fucking hilarious, and I'm thinking about hiding a tape recorder in his room one time he's playing. It would be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 That's brilliant, I remember when I was a lad I made the mistake of showing my dad how to play the original C&C: Red Alert. I didn't get back on the PC for about six months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Babar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 yeah record your dad abd post in here- ç! My mother is a hardcore gamer too. She's playing belote (cards), like 5 hours a day. I don't understand what's the point in playing the same card game over and over all day long. This's just taylorism : she says this is the score that keeps her playing. IMO a lot of games, like RPGs, rely on this mechanism : you just want to get to the next level, or the next item. I call this swindling. Games that get you into transe are the best, shooters, rhytm games, etc... i love them because you succeed best when you empty your mind. I'm pretty sure it might exist some buddhist sect using video games in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triachus Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 years ago, i was posting on some general gaming forum and there was this one poster who was pretty close to 60, and he called himself: w00ha! a great fun normal guy tho, but it was a little awkward to have a videogaming grandfather in your midst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 My Dad isn't into games at all but he once saw me playing Call of Duty 5 and, like most Dad's, he is into history. A couple of days later I caught him attempting to play it and he was completely clueless with the controls and couldn't seem to maneuvre around a wall. It was one of the most sad but cute things I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goffer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 lol i love threads like this. My dad broke one of my xbox controllers after missing a put for some huge tournament in Tiger Woods golf. I only hope to continue gaming into my 50's. Also my dad curses a lot when he plays online poker... he has gone through 3 wooden keyboard stands and a few keyboards.

Guest ward Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 My dad used to break old joysticks on a weekly basis when i was a kid It's so funny walking into his office when he's playing on a server and I try to talk to him, he'll get killed, curse then snap at me it's fucking hilarious. he only plays on a public server where he knows all these other english dudes and cus he plays with his speakers on i can hear the conversations he's having with them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest olson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 my dad is only in his 40s but can't play video games to save his life. he tried to get into gta iv and it was just sad to watch. however gta IV is pretty tough since each button has like 9 functions depending on the context haha.
