My dad has been playing Black Ops multiplayer for roughly three and a half hours straight. He's second prestige and about halfway to third.


What about your dad? Does he play games?

My dad barely even plays board games. He used to be a professional musician, though, so I guess he's spent a lot of time playing something.

Haha, that's pretty cool. I don't think I've ever seen my dad pick up a game in my life lol, but w/e

I play in a PS3 clan with a few of fathers. I don't know why, but I find it funny that one minute they're shooting guys in the face and throwing around insults then talking about something funny their child did that day.

My dad doesn't even know the difference between an Xbox 360 and PS3. I remember him playing some golf game on the Wii but that's about it.

My dad liked Formula 1 for N64 because it was a racing game. He never fired up the 64 and played alone thou, only multiplayer with me.

Nope. I think my mom would have been into it, but one day she was sitting around and read the seizure warning thing and she refused to play them after that since she is epileptic.

I think my dad played a little bit of Mario back when we had a nes years ago. He always said they were a waste of time or that I was lazy for playing them. Still love the guy though.

My dad used to play the Medal Of Honour games on the PS2, and he participates in the family game at Christmas or somthing, he often watches me playing. He tells me that he is to old for video games so it's why he dosn't play them.

@natetodamax: My dad hates video games.  He has tried a few, but it has never worked out.

My uncle however, is WAY into RPGs and free to play MMOs.  He was the one that let me onto Baldur's Gate and a few other great games.

Oh, and at the game as well.

My dad has his own 360 and an SP. If he didn't have to work, he'd probably play more stuff than I do.


My mom, though, likes to watch us on occasion and hops in on all the party games and she has my SP that she sometimes uses for Tetris and stuff like that. She also goes insane if she hears something has Pac-Man or Centipede on it.

There are games specifically catered to homosexuals? Who knew!

My dad has a 85 warrior, 77 druid, and 63? rogue on World of Warcraft, he's been playing off and on since Burning Crusade came out. He's also showing some interest when he sees me playing Starcraft II, might try and get him to give it a shot soon.

My dad was the one to get me into videogames. He bought an Atari 2600 when I was about 5. He played for about 2 days and grew bored of it. I latched on to it quickly, though, and thus began my obsession. 


I think he played a bit of duck hunt too, on the NES, but he is a jock like my brother and gets bored of videogames quite quickly.

My dad kinda got me in to gaming. He played Tomb Raider and Resident Evil on the Playstation and I remember me and my brother watching him play.


He's not really played much since. Maybe some iPhone games.

My dad was the reason I started playing videogames. Whan I was 4, I used to sit next to him play Megaman 2 and Strider on the Genesis, flawlessly. Growing up, he would let me mess around with his Final Fantasy VII save file (as long as I didn't save it) and his 100% perfected Megaman X file. He's bought the Super Nintendo (Famicom, where we're from), SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, 360, and PS3. He thinks Yoji Shinkawa's art is cool, too. We're not averse to talking smack in Hot Pursuit. Last game he played was Vanquish, and loved the ridiculous-ness.


...Oh, and he's also the reason I have a taste for anime. Back in the day, we used to watch Macross, Voltron, Gatchaman, Daimos, Mazinger Z, and a bunch of other crap. We also like tokusatsu: live-action, spandex-wearing, Japanese superheroes (shameful, I know). Kamen Rider Black, Ultraman, Shaider... the good stuff. When I was about 2nd grade, I would come home from school around 4 PM. There was a block of tokusatsu on TV from 4PM to 6:30PM. My dad would come home at 5PM, and just quietly sit right next to me.

*Ahem*

The only time I got my dad into games was at the arcade. He loved Mad Dog McCree, Terminator 2, and the X-Men beat-em-up.

No way! My dad was a professional musician as well! 

The only game my dad has picked up was Wii Golf. Kicked my ass...

My dad stopped before I was born. His favorite games were Dig Dug, Q Bert, and Combat.   My mom was the bigger gamer though she played strictly puzzle and casual games.   She was a beast at Dr. Mario and nearly God like at Super Puzzle Fighter.  Not to get depressing, but even towards the end she had her DS and would play Professor Layton, Picross 3D, and Meteos in the hospital.

My dad was big into Red Alert 1 & 2, Quake and Doom before I was born. He also loves the Half-Life series. Other than those games though, no dice.


I'm thinking about introducing him to Portal 1 & 2, if not he will just have to wait for episode 3.

I'm pretty sure my dad actually plays more games than I do, and I play alot of video games. He completes games like Fallout 3, GTA San Andreas, Mass Effect 1/2 repeatedly, think he's completed Fallout 3 about 5 times now, San Andreas not far off that. And he's got a bunch of high level characters on WoW, level 85 being one of them. He's been playing for about 8 months.

Machine.

My dad doesn't play, he used to rant about games, one day though i forced him to play through 5 min of portal, and once he got the concept he was like "not bad". And thats the last time he ever mentioned video games... been like 4 years and change? I think he has respect for it now.

Well, my mom played a lot of Diablo back in the day, but she stopped playing until recently. She got to play Assassin's Creed 2, Arkham Asylum, Darksiders, and Infamous before I could because they were "her Christmas presents" and she's waiting to buy Brotherhood (which she'll probably get to play first, too :/ ). She's the best. 


Oh, and my dad plays a lot of multiplayer shooters. Way into the Medal of Honor series and played a lot of Black Ops and WoW last time I got to hang with him.

Your dad has played more Call of Duty than I have ever played by actually making it to prestige. My dad plays no games at all.
