i know that times. my friend thinks terraria is a bad game because it's 2D. he also thought fable 2 was a kids game because you played as a kid.
i don't like that one, as people spend just as much time watching tv or on the computer.
How do you respond do these two statements.
1. I dont think I would likely be playing either of those types of games so that statement would not happen.
2. Eh, old people. I would ask he why she spent all day crocheting a hat for her cat that died 15 years ago.
1. I don't associate with people like that so it is not an issue.
2. My grandmother on my mother's side would say that a lot, but she was a racist, homophobic bitch so I never took her seriously anyway. I haven't seen her since I was about fourteen years old and she is dead now so it is not an issue. My grandmother on my father's side was awesome, but I never got to talk to her that much. I doubt that she would have had much of a problem with video games.
@iRaYP: I've been negative on CoD since they made the change to start locking away stuff as incentive for playing. I also often compare it to MMO styled systems. I know it's a little more fair than a level 1 vs. 85. It's more like a 40 vs. 60. I'd just prefer my multiplayer to be even from the start. I have a certain amount of pride in knowing that when I defeat someone I had no advantages and had to either out smart them or out play them. When I play perk based games I can't hep but get annoyed when I notice encounters that I only won because I had a certain advantage or at encounters when I know the only reason I lost was because the guy had a specific perk. Sure, a lot of the time the better player comes out on top but the instances where the scales are tipped seem unfair.
I don't mind that people play CoD. It's a well made game so I can't fault them for it. I do mind that the CoD like perk system has been adopted by most games since. Killzone 2 & 3, Uncharted 2 & 3, Twisted Metal, Motorstorm Apocalypse and so on all have this time based rewards system that I dislike.

1. Luckily, my friends aren't assholes. It has been a few years since anyone I hang out with thought any Call of Duty was a good game, probably right after the new game buzz wore off and we realized MW2 was terrible.
2. Again, my grandmother would not make such a statement. She is accepting of my gaming hobby, and supportive of my endeavors to make video games my career.
1, Say "eh I like this game better" no need to belittle the many people that enjoy COD
2. Say "nana I really like video games, they are a fun safe hobby of mine. Would you rather I smoke crack?"
2. I would probably be bothered and think to myself "oh yeah, and what did you do today grandma, knit? Maybe you shouldn't fucking knit so much."Hilarious xD
Ugh the whole notion of games that look childish and cute, must by default be for kids annoys me. Rayman orgins is quite cute....but hardly a forgiving game. Anime in general, some of that shit looks childish and kiddy (and for good reason) but are bat shit crazy.
Friend that want to play COD, i know the type, i try to convince them to play Donkey kong country returns and they outright refuse, grr.
1. because disney movies are made to be enjoyed by adults also.
2. because all existence is futile anyway.
1. NO. Besides, you're too shitty at COD so it'd be like I'm playing a "shitty kiddy" game for reals, yo.
2. The only way you're leaving here is in a body-bag. (But its prolly not my gma is it? Probably, bar-code hitman, Vinny again...)

- Say: "Dur hur, CooooooD" as a joke. Then proceed to explain why thea are both fine games in their own right and people like to mellow out sometimes, hence Kirby.
- Explain to my grandma the definition of a "hobby". Not that my grandmas don't know my hobbies, but hypothetically.
1.) I would say (realistically): "fuck off, this is a great game!" Lots of the people in my age group do a lot of different things nowadays so I wont be offended if they said something like that
2.) I would listen to her because I just saw a ghost of my grandma telling me to stop playing video games
