Author Topic: I'm seriously getting tired of my mom bugging me about playing killing games.  (Read 19310 times)

I asked her for my copy of Mercinaries for Xbox that she took away. She said no, and she yelled at me for playing killing games and said whoever makes those games should be strung up by their balls. She said if I wanted to play killing games that I should join the army and get my head blown off.
That's real loving nice. I know she's doing it for my own good, but for forget sakes, I'm not going to turn into a killer. I can't stand people dying in real life.


Can you tell your mom I said she was an ignorant dumbass?
She sounds like one of those parents who thinks all violent video games leads to real violence.

Well, you are eleven. You shouldn't be playing those.

killing games will make you violent
like her :V

Mercenaries isn't even too violent of a game compared to most.
And it's a really good game. :c

Yeah, I know. But it's really strange that when I was about 8 and younger, I could play TimeSplitters and Halo all day, and not get yelled at. I got yelled at for playing Spiral Knights because you kill things.
Okay, then maybe I shouldn't play Sonic and/or Mario because I'm killing woodland creatures.

Say to her that it is teaching you what to do when you grow up, and that is what ou want to do professionaly

She says it's fine if I watch movies like that, but not playing games because I'm participating.
Goddamn.

Mario is the most violent game I've ever played. Keep away from that stuff.

you shouldnt play games involving counting because it teaches you to divide people into groups based on what they are instead of treating them all equally

Goddamn.
Gay. Tell her that games are interactive and make you think, while TV just makes you mindlessly sit there and stare. Also, games can be very social.

She probably found one of those sites which try to explain why games are so bad.
