One day I was playing Black ops and it was in the Vietnam section. Que my Vietnam vet father walking in. He told me lunch was ready then looked at the screen. He sat down, watched for a bit, and then started critiquing me by saying stuff like, "Quit running around so much! Stay in one spot!" Or, "Quit wasting all your bullets! Three shot burst Jack, three shot bursts!" I finally gave him the controller. He went prone and stayed in that place for an hour. My dad is so cool!
You're lucky, my grandpa was a Vietnam vet and he was so traumatized, that we lose him if we mention Vietnam. Like we could be talking and if he hears Vietnam, he walks into his room and stays there for like 30minutes. To 2 hours
+TheMegaBob My dad got pretty messed up when I was watching Full Metal jacket. It was the sniper scene, he walked in and immediately walked out. He's usually perfectly fine though. He answers all my questions. I'm really sorry about your Grandpa.
I seriously nearly cried, idk why but it sort of reminded me of speed racer in the beginning how speed almost beat rexes record but literally stopped right in front of the finish
Why parents don't want kids playing video games right now: No, don't play that game. Its too violent for you. Why paren't don't want kids playing video games in the future: No, don't play that game. It sucks. Like seriously, its shit.
"Why do you play video games? (game about killing demons with the elements) why not go do it?" Cuz sure, I will just get a set of magic gear and be able to control lightning and kill demons.... *le sigh*
My oldest nephew has been playing the original Doom since he was too young to sit up on his own (he has autism and it effects his physical coordination) His father would put him in a chair with a slatted back, run a belt through the slats, and buckle it around his waist so he could remain sitting upright. Then, he would work the direction controls, directed by his son, and the child would press the fire button to kill the demons. Side note: They say violent video games make kids violent... Lies!! This child has been playing Doom and other FPS games since he was only about a year old. He's never been in a fight at school, or done anything more violent than smack his big sister on the arm when she was picking on him. He's been out of high school for a few years now. Nicest kid you'll ever meet ^ _ ^
and therese story about that called player 2 you can seach on youtube or in vimeo ... i found one on vimeo that redirect from nonline news here the vimeo one vimeo.com/162531355
Must be nice to have parents that don't say "an hour of gaming is plenty, it's unhealthy for you" and then take the TV for a 4 hour netflix binge. Hypocrites.
UGU Zach They aren't technically wrong. An Hour of gaming does more damage to your eyes(especially if sitting close to the tv), your hands/fingers, and your posture/spine than 5 hours of TV watching. So maybe realize they are actually being serious when they say that. Now it is slightly hypocritical because any large amount of staring at the TV regardless of what it is, is damaging. You are obviously a kid and naturally you won't see it this way, but perhaps you should rethink things.
Yea me too. It's very poetic. And it really touches me thinking about the son staying up to countless nights trying to beat the ghost for the fastest lap only to stop at the finish line just because he loves his Dad and wants to preserve that little memory of him. The feels man T-T
It's really jealous in the comments about their parents playing video games with them because my mom doesn't like video games. She usually say to me that: "Don't play video games. The company only makes them for money!" My reaction was like: "If the company makes video games only for money, why do they still update the game? I could say that for the company of Flappy Bird!" The reason why she started to dislike video games because when she was back in high school, their school said to them about the false information about video games. They said that "video games are useless," "video games rotten the kid's brain" and etc. Though, she has positive attitudes like being caring and supportive to us.
Vincent Cardona what kinda weird mum do you have?? They do make the games for money. And they update them to get more people to play which equals more money. Your mum is absolutely right, i dunno why it's a bad thing to make something for money. Apple makes phones for money etc.
Vincent Cardona well they do make them mostly for money but hey, game devs need to make a living too, and it is our job as gamers to allow them to do that
Vincent Cardona i feel ya my mom allways said next time when i asked to buy a game like cod or even xenoblade with my own money (may i inform you is by friken NINTENDO she just red a esrb rating and saw that it said animated blood and then there went another fun game)
Not really, you give bairns a specific amount of milk, because you know how much they usually drink. Sitting feeding a baby can be pretty boring because it can take time and 'you' as a parent need something to do in the mean time, but you certainly wouldn't set out to play something that's going to engross you too much, especially if it's in the middle of the night. Also you aren't going to forget that you have a child in your arms anyway, they can be pretty heavy, especially as they get older. The average weight of a newborn is around 7.5lbs/ 3.5-4kgs and mine were both heavier than that at birth. Take 4 or 5 bags of sugar and put them in a bag, rest that in your arms while you play and tell me if you forget it's there. Oh babies move and make noises, they also fart, shit and puke too, you'll definitely not forget about them when that happens.. Take it from me, I'm a dad (twice over) and a gamer.
Wor Jackie ah ok, I guess its fine as long as the parents are very responsible (cause there are some terrible parents out there, I've heard alot of sad stories lets just say)
yes it is nowdays... and some pretty games have on pc too, i remember the lego games and serious sam 3, bionic comando and other stuff... but they are great!
When i was around 6 me and my dad would always race up the stairs because we had 2 pcs.The first one was a newer one which could run Age of Empires 2 and the other one only AoE1.He often let me win, but when he didnt I really enjoyed watching him play.He didnt only give me a love for strategy games, but also for history.
I had a very similar thing with my father where we would play command an conquer together and the loser would have to make dinner and from that I learned how to make many different foods at a young age until finally I started winning.
CLOROX BLEACH Are you being a lazy,freeloading piece of shit who simply won't go out and look for a job because he wants to stay at home and play video games? I'm in my late 20s and I've had a job since I was 14 because if I wanted to have a car or buy games etc then I was gonna have to pay for it all myself but I also wasn't lazy and I had a dad who liked games he just wanted me to have good values. So yea go get a job and sure there's a difference between you literally just being too young, and you just being a lazy shit. I have no way of knowing which you are but you certainly sound like a kid, so maybe instead of shitting on your dad you realize he is trying to get you to have decent values and to be a respectable member of society.
My favorite memory is playing Left 4 Dead with my daughter when she was about two years old. She used to get *me* hyped up. Boy could she take down a Tank.
What's wrong with that? My family of five (Father/39, Mother/43, [Me] Eldest brother/16, younger sister/10, baby sister/6) played gory-ass games a lot. Fallout, Left 4 Dead, DayZ, Walking Dead, State of Decay, yea... Not a bad experience actually. The only problem is that my baby sister imitated the zombie and bit me, though not that fiercely, It's just disgusting.
I remember when my dad, bro and I would play Halo 1. Dad and bro would share one controller (Dad moves around and aims while bro shoots) While I had the other to myself since I was more experienced. Then...we encountered the flood o______o
When I was a kid, one day my father wanted to play video games, so I gave him my PS1 controller so he could play some Crash Bandicoot 3. My controller eventually flew through a window and was never seen again.
He was so bad at moving that he couldn't jump + go forward, so he eventually raged after falling five times in the same hole, and threw it through out an open window x) Luckily the controller unplugged by itself so the PS1 didn't fly with it.
I'm pretty much the only Gamer in my family, but a while back (during summer visitation) I picked up a collection of old Sega games bundled into one disk on the PS3. I was scrolling through them and my father decided to sit and talk for a bit. When I passed Golden Axe he told me to stop and scroll back, then he started talking about how he used to play it in the Arcade when he was younger. So we did some co-op and he kicked my ass score wise. After that we preceded to play all the Golden Axe games (except the shitty remake). Just saying, having a parent with at least some Video Game experience is quite the gift, these kids are lucky
I was thinking of him during the one where the guy's dad had a ghost in his game because it reminded me if the feeling I get when watching Alladin or Mrs Doubtfire
My parents have no interest in games at all. To be fair back when they were teens, TV first came to Indonesia in 1960, so they never really played any. They don't have anything against it, though. But they do get concerned about my brother and I spending too much time on games and not studying, because let's be honest, we can all get carried away.
My son isn't yet as hardcore as me. When I play he just drops his tablet and watches in awe. He just turned 5 lol. He's much better than me in slither.io or other tablet games.
My dad isn't a gamer, but my mum sure as heck is! She mainly plays Terraria with me and my brother, as that is one of two games we own that can hold a minimum of three players on the same console. Also, when the MMOG LEGO Universe was still operating, we'd dig out the laptop and load up the computer and play together, though it was rare that we'd be on the same server.
That got me too! Wish I had something like that left of my step dad. I use his username but with a Mrs in front :) so I will always have him with me! Not to mention a giant tattoo owl on my arm ❤️
Watching this made me so happy cause it reminded me of my childhood, my dad always told me when i was still in a crib i would always stand up and watch him play video games, when i could hold the controller he would move my TV and system into the living room and we would play different games but in a way playing together, we still play games together but this time split screen, now that i am 16 i tell my dad that one day i will beat more games then he has :) we are still going strong.
Meh, It would be nice, except, "kid" is used as a curseword. When i play csgo i often get called kid, people use me as a target if i do something wrong. SO if those people could fuck off it would be nice.
my dad was a dedicated gamer to a point where, before i was born my dad was next to my mom, asking if she has ok while playing on his N64. he was the one to introduce me to many types of games and we would play together sometimes if he wasn't bussy. sadly he died a few days after my 15th birthday, RIP old man
When I was 3 I first started playing Zelda: OOT (we also had Majora's mask but it gave me nightmares...). My dad would patiently watch me play and guide me; I couldn't read at all, I was so bad at reading I told my dad I could write my name in the new save creator. I remember him laughing when he saw "BAa" written as the save file. He would read and guide me on my adventures through Hyrule. I'm smiling now thinking back on it. Crying now. God, I can't type... Gah, it makes me so happy to think about the time that dad spent with me. He encouraged me to learn to read, but I was resistant, so he stopped reading for me. He bought me Winnie the Pooh books so I could learn to read. When I wasn't playing, I was trying to learn to read. Of couse my dad would still watch me play and guide me. He told me that the colored words the character say are important and I should learn those. It wasn't long before I was reading at a 4th grade level, granted some time did pass. At this point, I still did not save Hyrule. I would often go to the Kakariko Village and pretend I was building roofs. Zelda was the foundation of my learning and my relationship with my father. I had so much fun, something I wish I had more of today. My days feel dull and repetitive. Of course, I'm excited for some things, like going to Japan this summer, but I've been getting so little sleep with work and school. The other day, I thought myself, "After I visit Japan, can I finally die?" Life has not been cruel to me. I was born very fortunate, but life is full of pain, stress, and regret. I truly only live for these small moments in my life where I feel great happiness. School has been really hard recently... Brought some silly thoughts to mind. My teacher must have noticed my deprivation, and after her class she held her hand for a high five. I high fived her and smiled. I began walking away, but she held her palm out with fingers facing up. She gave me a serious face and powerful eye contact. She was imploring me to hold grab her hand. I grabbed her hand, curious. "Good job, Cameron." I have a breakdown everytime I think about it. The fact that people care for me hurts and makes me so happy at the same time. Videogames have really held me together. I wish I could play games with my dad, like the old days. We're both so busy, and I'll moving out next year. I'm afraid of the future. I'm so unsure of it all. I know I want to keep on living, for the small things, but I just miss it all so much.
Cameron B. just hang in there man for all we know u might find new find memories's with someone else who will be dear to you like your dad. just make sure to hold on to those memories.
I dont if this is as powerfull as thise stories but im 14 and before i was born my entire family, and i mean entire, my dad, mum, uncles, grandads and grandmothers all played starcraft 1 and i have played since i was 3 and still play sc2 with my parents on a weekly basis. Although i seem to have other come there experience as i beat them every single time :)
lol on my birthday when I was in first grade my dad introduced me to sc1, then a couple weeks later we stood in line at midnight and bought 2 copies of sc2. Like with chess, at first he beat me every time but eventually I started to beat him. It might not sound impressive, but when I was 8 we got into gold league 2v2.
what the actual f**k!!! this literally the EXACT same thing as me, but we also played racing games, assassins creed, cod,skyrim, all halo,minecraft,goat simulator lol im serious and more but most recently we are going to play far cry primal, for honor and battlefield 1 and my dad will pay for most of it! we all have a insane battle staions for example my dad has duel benq monitors and a pc better than mine!!!!!! he also has the g502 mouse(but i do have the g900 not to brag or anything...
I started playing chess with my dad, but around the age of 9 I beat him every single time. Now he doesn't want to play chess with me anymore, but at least I got him into videogames so we can play them together.
Tolbryn The IX naa believe me, theres a los of people that like to say that children have more ability to learn these games but most of the time is just adults dont have the time nor the entusiasm to get better
my favourite thing to do is play halo 4 on 360 w my mum and dad, I play with my mum more but it's great, wen we started all she did was walk into corners all the time but I helped her learn, we have been playing for 4 years starting at CE anaversery and for the past year she's had a gold account and is level 58 at the moment, I'm 118 and have a challenge to get to max 130 before Christmas, I'm so proud of her and we now play Spartan ops, some of her best acheavments are starting solo play to try to get a sense of direction (but she's pretty good anyway!), getting better than me at using wraiths and scoped weapons, and a smaller acheavment is killing watchers because she's not so good with moving targets. we started halo because her complaint was that she couldn't tell what where friends and what where foe, so we started halo because we kill 10 foot tall aliens and she gets to wear pink armour! it's made my gaming experience one of the best I could have hoped for.
I've been gaming all my life and while I'm not a parent, I have bought up my brothers since my step-father passed away. They're 15 and 11 years old at this time but they've both been gaming since they were, like, 3. They game because I game and they look up to me. Gaming is the way that we all just sit down and spend some valuable time together. It's something special and they know that. Their love for gaming is now stronger than what mine is which I didn't think was possible, but work gets in the way. Either way, they're closer to me than anyone else in the family because of video games (and the fact my room has all the consoles and PC in).
Not to mention, when I was young, me and my whole family used to play Mortal Kombat 3 on the SEGA Genesis. They were awesome times. My family wouldn't do that now (as they all hate gaming apart from me and my brothers) but those times were awesome as a kid.
I picked up my 5 year kid at kindergarten I asked: So, what did you do today ? Son: We played Dark Souls!! I: uhm.. ok ? How did that work ? Son: Well I was Tarkus, the other was Solaire and the fat kid was Siegmeyer!! And that left me with a smile :) ps: My son doesn't watch me play Dark Souls 24/7
I just wanna say I'm a gamer dad expecting a second kiddo soon and I don't usually fall for feel good internet stuff but that truly made me feel good. Havent felt that respected and appreciated like that in a while. Thanks Gameranx. You guys are legends
My son and I play WoW together and console games. I love FPS and RPGS where as he loves Racing and Action but He loves to watch me play and be a second set of eyes for me when I'm playing. We also switch whos playing 360 or Xbone and he keeps saying how he wants to design his own game when He gets older just so I can Alpha and beta test it for him.
My grandfather is in his early fifties at the moment. When I was around five years old, I used to watch him play video games like it was a cartoon. I used to always tell him what to do, and he usually listened. He even played Cars and Dora with me on the game cube when I was young as well. My parents aren't around, and to have him so committed to having and spending time with me at that age and still now means a lot. I kick his butt at Call of Duty, sometimes. We've played Uncharted series, God Of War, Batman Arkham series, Dead Space, so on! We still do to this day as well.
when i have kiddos, I'm going to teach them how to play: civilization, hearts of iron, Europe universals, and more. to create a grand strategic master.
I know my love for video games is seriously fueled by my parents. I remember sitting down next to my mom while she was playing an rpg, and I would help figure out whatever puzzle or roadblock was in her way. And I remember being nicknamed the walking talking strategy guide since I would always remember what went on in a game. Gamer parents are awesome.
so , I was 8 and was playing gta San Andreas at my cousin's house and my dad walks in the room I pretty much shit my pants and he says as I die in game he says "Why didn't you beat his ass and I just laughed.
Exactly. He then said that it's kind of too fast-paced and needs to be slower, but apart from that it looks awesome. Now i believe a little bit less that my father played DOOM. (jk obviously)
It's an awesome thing to be a parent who games, and when the whole family gets in.... it's brilliant. Me, my husband, our daughter and my brothers. She loves it and it's amazing to watch her taste develop, plus throwing her a gaming party where the adults were in more costume than the kids was truly a sight to behold.
I spend most of my time in a wheelchair, so I can't, like other kids, play football in the park. Instead, I taught him to play FIFA, so I've been able to keep that relationship because of video gamea
Thanks for trying so hard to inform us about how different and special gamers are!!!You are awesome, I respect you and I'll keep on expecting the best content as always!!! :D
so im a girl and im a daddy's girl i love my dad... and my mom but shes not big into gaming. so i grew up with both of my parents in the army im 13 and they were in the army for 10 after i was born and a few more years before hand as well. so when dad was home from being gone for 3 months me and him would sit down on the couch dad would pick a game for the Xbox(usually Halo 1,2,or 3), have me sit in his lap and we would play the until i fell asleep. some of my most fondest memories was those times me and my dad did that. now i have 2 younger brothers than i share that experience with along with my dad and mom some times in the back ground telling us how to play and screams at the jumpscares.
My 5 year old son loves playing driving games (need for speed and driver san francisco specifically) on my old PS3 and always wants me to watch him and talk with him about what's going on on screen. It's awesome to watch as he lets his imagination run wild and just laughs so much and then he enjoys watching me play some of my games on the PS4.
but that's why it's so hard to lose to a kid sometimes. not really because their age but because some will go on and on how they wrecked you. yeah, im talking aout those cod kids.
Just saw this video and I think it's great! About 10 years ago I use to play on a counter strike team with my dad and brothers. We ended up playing in a league and making it to main (just a higher division). Still play counter strike with my dad now it's an awesome way to bond.
That's how I got my (then) 9yo son into PC gaming...We assembled his first PC together, from spares I had. Great fun, and, gamer dads out there, do it. Gaming (PC or otherwise, though I'm biased) is a great hobby to share with your kids. And PC building together is even better (even if little fingers sometimes snap a DIMM module while installing it) ...He is 11yo now and he still brags about it at school...
Can't compete with the last one on the list, for sure. I play games with my kid and record videos of them to upload to our youTube accounts. Let's me relive our time together during visitation, since he lives with his mom. Not the same as actually spending time with him, but it helps for those times when he's not here. It's something he wants to do when he's visiting, and we usually play a lot of games anyway. Recording it just gives me that memory-refresher.
Racing the ghost of your fathers' car is honestly just such poetic way to play with him , and it really gave me a warm feeling inside knowing that in some small miniscule way. He can still play with his dad 😢😔😊😊
I really wanted to cosplay Zelda from Twilight Princess, so I showed my mom and dad a photo, and though they've never played the series, they got so excited, they decided to help me make the outfit. Mom helped me sew, dad helped me with the armour and jewellery, and we continuously improve it.
kinda reminds me of me and my father. we always played diablo 2 together. one was responsible for the keyboard, drinking potions and stuff like this, the other one was responsible for the mouse, choosing where to go and what enemies to attack. then, after some time, we switched places. was pretty cool and i'm still a big diablo 2 fan lol
When I was about 5-7, me and my grandfather would always play battlefield 2 after his days of work. He would always be in control of the game and I would be the spotter as I have better eyes than him. To this day, 10 years later we still talk about games and bond over them. Best Grandad ever in my eyes
my dad and I will play destiny, not together but on the same PS+ account. now I suck at the game however, he's at light 326 (max is 335) and shares most of his awesome gear that isn't quite as good as his main stuff with me. it's an amazing feeling to see his amazing hear and then getting to use. a truly amazing feeling. since we're kinda stereotypical guys in the sense that we don't show affection towards each other much, this is much more unique than if my mom or little sister did the same thing
I played through borderlands 1 and 2 with my dad, I doesn't understand anything about the games but he still played them with me because he wanted to spend some time with me and get to know me better and it just made my hart smile
My dad got me into gaming when I was 3 years old, he was playing Psi ops mindgate conspiracy and I loved playing with him, and now being 14 years old I still love gaming and play every day, sometimes my father plays with me too and I can't be any happier
Since i was 7 years old my dad and I played a lot of LEGO games together and we always had a competition between our two, who firstly finished the game 100% had won. So it made it even better! So I got an even stronger connection with him.
My dad only connected with me, gamer wise, by showing and teaching me how to play Megaman 3. Wish that can happen again. He's still alive, it's just that he hasn't done that in more than a decade.
One day I was playing Black ops and it was in the Vietnam section. Que my Vietnam vet father walking in. He told me lunch was ready then looked at the screen. He sat down, watched for a bit, and then started critiquing me by saying stuff like, "Quit running around so much! Stay in one spot!" Or, "Quit wasting all your bullets! Three shot burst Jack, three shot bursts!" I finally gave him the controller. He went prone and stayed in that place for an hour. My dad is so cool!
That's so dope! :D
You should be glad he got enthusiastic about it, tho.
You're lucky, my grandpa was a Vietnam vet and he was so traumatized, that we lose him if we mention Vietnam. Like we could be talking and if he hears Vietnam, he walks into his room and stays there for like 30minutes. To 2 hours
+TheMegaBob My dad got pretty messed up when I was watching Full Metal jacket. It was the sniper scene, he walked in and immediately walked out. He's usually perfectly fine though. He answers all my questions. I'm really sorry about your Grandpa.
+Number 31 “The Vault Soldier” ™ Yeah, when my dad came home a guy spit on him and called him baby killer. Just no respect whatsoever.
Teach kids to be gamers and they won't have money for drugs.
That is actually true though
They won't have money for anything really
Also they will have no stress because of games long day at school straight to games
You mean, teach them to be a PC gamer? If so, their collage is going to go down the drain.
Ohhh another "PC GAMING IS SOOO EXPENSIVE WAAAAA" type of person. Oh little does he know. :P
my 3 year old tells me when i die in a game and then yell at the the game to stop killing daddy's characters
Mike Foster dawwww
Shockwave005 Gaming awwwe
Michael Foster so cute and nice :D
That's pretty cute
yo i feel u man
The last one where the father's record was still in the racing game made me cry.
Same I felt sad
i thought i was the only one
I seriously nearly cried, idk why but it sort of reminded me of speed racer in the beginning how speed almost beat rexes record but literally stopped right in front of the finish
Gay
theres a short movie about it i found in vimeo
vimeo.com/162531355
When I'll have kids, I will teach them how to play my favorites.
I'll give my kids PTSD by letting them play the Souls games.
+Bergonath No dinner until I see the soul of Ornstein.
teach them how to play nuts in the table, that's a good game.
+Proxy Sigma
XD
ı will say them "hey,kid let me teach you how to play your father's favorite game,skyrim" lol
My mom and I are both gamers and she got me into playing video games when she got me a game boy when I was two years old.
i think two is a bit severe
oh how i wish your mom was my mom
i started when i was 3, with a nitendo64
my mom got me in to gameing with her old gameboy.
On what server can u find these mins of parents?
Why parents don't want kids playing video games right now: No, don't play that game. Its too violent for you.
Why paren't don't want kids playing video games in the future: No, don't play that game. It sucks. Like seriously, its shit.
I'm pretty sure it will be because the parents will want to play instead.
True story
10/10 comment .
Exactally
That would be cool, my dad tho lets me judge what i can take in a game, i am 13
They say "why watch youtube videos about Minecraft when you can play Minecraft" I say "why you watch football then?" 😂
lmao
"Why do you play video games? (game about killing demons with the elements) why not go do it?"
Cuz sure, I will just get a set of magic gear and be able to control lightning and kill demons....
*le sigh*
rekt
JohnTheAmazeingCat _thecat GAMER BURN
Or watch and play football and video games lol. That for me is the perfect life, gaming and sports
My oldest nephew has been playing the original Doom since he was too young to sit up on his own (he has autism and it effects his physical coordination) His father would put him in a chair with a slatted back, run a belt through the slats, and buckle it around his waist so he could remain sitting upright. Then, he would work the direction controls, directed by his son, and the child would press the fire button to kill the demons.
Side note: They say violent video games make kids violent... Lies!! This child has been playing Doom and other FPS games since he was only about a year old. He's never been in a fight at school, or done anything more violent than smack his big sister on the arm when she was picking on him. He's been out of high school for a few years now. Nicest kid you'll ever meet ^ _ ^
Yep
And then there's my parents, who think I'm a fucking idiot for playing video games
*hugs*
Haha me to
Join the club
sorry.. that here my heart when i read this comment
i feel ya
the #1 spot they hosted. man that had got to be the most sweet thing i have ever heard of. that brought a tear to my eye.
Same
I remember hearing about that years ago, and it still doesn't fail to move me close to tears.
Yeah, just imagine that
same here, I'm glad I'm not the only one lol
and therese story about that called player 2 you can seach on youtube or in vimeo ... i found one on vimeo that redirect from nonline news here the vimeo one

Must be nice to have parents that don't say "an hour of gaming is plenty, it's unhealthy for you" and then take the TV for a 4 hour netflix binge. Hypocrites.
UGU Zach OMG XD
UGU Zach It is.
UGU Zach my parents never stop me from playing
UGU Zach They aren't technically wrong. An Hour of gaming does more damage to your eyes(especially if sitting close to the tv), your hands/fingers, and your posture/spine than 5 hours of TV watching. So maybe realize they are actually being serious when they say that. Now it is slightly hypocritical because any large amount of staring at the TV regardless of what it is, is damaging. You are obviously a kid and naturally you won't see it this way, but perhaps you should rethink things.
FUCK SCIENCE
The ghost car of the dead father got to me. Such a great story.
Put that in a movie!
+Anders Linden something like that is in the movie speed racer
Yea me too. It's very poetic.
And it really touches me thinking about the son staying up to countless nights trying to beat the ghost for the fastest lap only to stop at the finish line just because he loves his Dad and wants to preserve that little memory of him.
The feels man T-T
Watch someone beat the ghost but who has an original Xbox com on
+Boi Edward I hope no one tries that,
Before my dad died of caner when I was 6, I'd sit on his lap and play my DS, Game Boy Color and GBA.
PIKMANZ Forever *cancer
SP OI not a time to correct someone's grammar, dumbass.
Correcting someone's spelling of the word "Cancer" when they were explaining how a family member died is the definition of grammar NAZI.
PIKMANZ Forever That’s an awesome story bro
It's really jealous in the comments about their parents playing video games with them because my mom doesn't like video games. She usually say to me that: "Don't play video games. The company only makes them for money!" My reaction was like: "If the company makes video games only for money, why do they still update the game? I could say that for the company of Flappy Bird!" The reason why she started to dislike video games because when she was back in high school, their school said to them about the false information about video games. They said that "video games are useless," "video games rotten the kid's brain" and etc. Though, she has positive attitudes like being caring and supportive to us.
Vincent Cardona what kinda weird mum do you have?? They do make the games for money. And they update them to get more people to play which equals more money. Your mum is absolutely right, i dunno why it's a bad thing to make something for money. Apple makes phones for money etc.
Vincent Cardona well they do make them mostly for money
but hey, game devs need to make a living too, and it is our job as gamers to allow them to do that
Yeah ik but some parents just don't understand us gamers. ;.;
Vincent Cardona that has nothing to do with what you wrote in your comment dude
Vincent Cardona i feel ya my mom allways said next time when i asked to buy a game like cod or even xenoblade with my own money (may i inform you is by friken NINTENDO she just red a esrb rating and saw that it said animated blood and then there went another fun game)
Number 10 can be dangerous actually if the gamer gets too carried away focused on the game, if you're gonna feed your baby do it right honestly
Not really, you give bairns a specific amount of milk, because you know how much they usually drink. Sitting feeding a baby can be pretty boring because it can take time and 'you' as a parent need something to do in the mean time, but you certainly wouldn't set out to play something that's going to engross you too much, especially if it's in the middle of the night. Also you aren't going to forget that you have a child in your arms anyway, they can be pretty heavy, especially as they get older. The average weight of a newborn is around 7.5lbs/ 3.5-4kgs and mine were both heavier than that at birth. Take 4 or 5 bags of sugar and put them in a bag, rest that in your arms while you play and tell me if you forget it's there. Oh babies move and make noises, they also fart, shit and puke too, you'll definitely not forget about them when that happens.. Take it from me, I'm a dad (twice over) and a gamer.
Wor Jackie
ah ok, I guess its fine as long as the parents are very responsible (cause there are some terrible parents out there, I've heard alot of sad stories lets just say)
They are cute and adoring when little. But wait until they become teenager. Yikes. More headaches and they begin to question authority.
tr1bes
lol
Well the milk won't come out of the bottle if you don't suck on it
If only Split Screen was still a thing...
Were there even on pc? or only console?
+Mongocom lol many pc Games have spilltscreen
+Creepers Swankin tell me?
Mongocom some Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 oh and here's a Steam list store.steampowered.com/tag/en/Split%20Screen/?l=english#p=0&tab=NewReleases
yes it is nowdays... and some pretty games have on pc too, i remember the lego games and serious sam 3, bionic comando and other stuff... but they are great!
im 17 and i still play halo, gta and stuff like gears of war
with my dad that is :)
Do you still have combat evolved??
Seth Hensley oh yeah i have all of them
+C.P. RAIN I have the original Xbox halo edition with everything even the box that came with the Xbox
Same here. Original xbox isnt rare.
When i was around 6 me and my dad would always race up the stairs because we had 2 pcs.The first one was a newer one which could run Age of Empires 2 and the other one only AoE1.He often let me win, but when he didnt I really enjoyed watching him play.He didnt only give me a love for strategy games, but also for history.
Yeah I miss playing AoE with my friend growing up. One of the best games of all time. Your dad sounds like a good guy.
I had a very similar thing with my father where we would play command an conquer together and the loser would have to make dinner and from that I learned how to make many different foods at a young age until finally I started winning.
ME and my dad play battlefield 1 together
Wille Björndal same :D
my dad hates when i play videogames and he always tells me to find a job and not to play games that wont help you.
Wille Björndal I almost got BF1, but administrator accses is a bitch
CLOROX BLEACH Are you being a lazy,freeloading piece of shit who simply won't go out and look for a job because he wants to stay at home and play video games? I'm in my late 20s and I've had a job since I was 14 because if I wanted to have a car or buy games etc then I was gonna have to pay for it all myself but I also wasn't lazy and I had a dad who liked games he just wanted me to have good values. So yea go get a job and sure there's a difference between you literally just being too young, and you just being a lazy shit. I have no way of knowing which you are but you certainly sound like a kid, so maybe instead of shitting on your dad you realize he is trying to get you to have decent values and to be a respectable member of society.
This just made me deeply jealous and a little sad on the inside :(
Andrew Godly Don't we all?
Andrew Godly me too i wish my parents was like that 😧😧😧
Don't worry our kids would be blessed.
My favorite memory is playing Left 4 Dead with my daughter when she was about two years old. She used to get *me* hyped up.
Boy could she take down a Tank.
True parenting
You played a frigging gory ass zombie game with your two year old daughter?
What's wrong with that? My family of five (Father/39, Mother/43, [Me] Eldest brother/16, younger sister/10, baby sister/6) played gory-ass games a lot. Fallout, Left 4 Dead, DayZ, Walking Dead, State of Decay, yea... Not a bad experience actually. The only problem is that my baby sister imitated the zombie and bit me, though not that fiercely, It's just disgusting.
xD
My mum used to stand behind me and watch me play we used to get so excited together
I remember when my dad, bro and I would play Halo 1. Dad and bro would share one controller (Dad moves around and aims while bro shoots) While I had the other to myself since I was more experienced. Then...we encountered the flood o______o
your saying that. expecting that someon ask ''What happened next?'' am i right?
what happened next :p
Max Proulx Well I mean it was nightmare-ish to us sense we were so young. Dad didn't even see them coming. So many jumpscares.
o you meant a game XD tough you meant an actual flood
Max Proulx Nah. I've never seen a flood in RL before.
I have a strong connection with my father... A WiFi connection...
Number 1 made me tear up a bit
same
I almost did.. no my father isn't dead. but me and him play gran turismo and were both beast at it and I would ball my eyes out if that happened
I almost did.. no my father isn't dead. but me and him play gran turismo and were both beast at it and I would ball my eyes out if that happened
+That One Crazy Guy bro same
Search Player 2 in youtube dude,it's heart-warming.
When I was a kid, one day my father wanted to play video games, so I gave him my PS1 controller so he could play some Crash Bandicoot 3.
My controller eventually flew through a window and was never seen again.
lol
Did he throw it out the window or something? XD
By the way, you have a cute profile picture! Did you draw it?
He was so bad at moving that he couldn't jump + go forward, so he eventually raged after falling five times in the same hole, and threw it through out an open window x)
Luckily the controller unplugged by itself so the PS1 didn't fly with it.
GalloViking oh dear
lmao!
could you do a top 10 parents in video games. that would be cool to see.
I'm pretty much the only Gamer in my family, but a while back (during summer visitation) I picked up a collection of old Sega games bundled into one disk on the PS3. I was scrolling through them and my father decided to sit and talk for a bit. When I passed Golden Axe he told me to stop and scroll back, then he started talking about how he used to play it in the Arcade when he was younger. So we did some co-op and he kicked my ass score wise. After that we preceded to play all the Golden Axe games (except the shitty remake).
Just saying, having a parent with at least some Video Game experience is quite the gift, these kids are lucky
Still can't get him to play Dark Souls... Working on that one...
Ikr! My dad would only play with me if I was playing retro arcade games
+Jordan Hall Your dad is awesome, My parents feel disgusted from any game I play like tw3,bf4,ac syndicate or unity,bl2 or preseq and kz sf
+OktS StylE (GameR) Thanks ;D
+Yellow Banana Same here!
I was thinking of robin Williams for some reason
hell yeah
Me too. Because of his daughter Zelda. :)
i thought about that when the dad coded link to be a girl
I was thinking of him during the one where the guy's dad had a ghost in his game because it reminded me if the feeling I get when watching Alladin or Mrs Doubtfire
My parents have no interest in games at all. To be fair back when they were teens, TV first came to Indonesia in 1960, so they never really played any. They don't have anything against it, though. But they do get concerned about my brother and I spending too much time on games and not studying, because let's be honest, we can all get carried away.
Kamu Indonesia? Naicee.
My son isn't yet as hardcore as me. When I play he just drops his tablet and watches in awe. He just turned 5 lol. He's much better than me in slither.io or other tablet games.
One day he'll grow up and show you how to Git Gud >:D
+Jordan Hall Joy tears just rolled down my cheeks
actually, Robin Williams called his daughter Zelda
That was her actual name too, not just her nickname.
Mr. Orange that's what i meant
Because of the game? Zelda is an actual name. It isn't unique to Legend of Zelda.
She was named after the character from The Legend of Zelda.
+Tiny Rick chill dude, we know that
My dad isn't a gamer, but my mum sure as heck is! She mainly plays Terraria with me and my brother, as that is one of two games we own that can hold a minimum of three players on the same console. Also, when the MMOG LEGO Universe was still operating, we'd dig out the laptop and load up the computer and play together, though it was rare that we'd be on the same server.
terraria is underrated
Am I the only one who noticed idubbz' content cop's music playing in the background?
ikr
no
I noticed too.
*Idubbbz*
Naw son the fam is always listening
That car ghost got me ;(
Yeah, right in the heart... damn
I'm pretty sure anytime I played that game (if I was that kid) I'd cry and probably attempt to talk to the ghost car. Man that got my feels real hard.
That got me too! Wish I had something like that left of my step dad.
I use his username but with a Mrs in front :) so I will always have him with me! Not to mention a giant tattoo owl on my arm ❤️
Ikr, that must have been so emotional. What if he had beaten his dad's score? Oh, I just can't imagine it. Makes me wanna cry...
+y altschuler he could turn it off before it saved
Watching this made me so happy cause it reminded me of my childhood, my dad always told me when i was still in a crib i would always stand up and watch him play video games, when i could hold the controller he would move my TV and system into the living room and we would play different games but in a way playing together, we still play games together but this time split screen, now that i am 16 i tell my dad that one day i will beat more games then he has :) we are still going strong.
Mightyena EX5 i am happy for you and hope you stll go strong :)
duhok star thank you
Just imagine the new generation with their future kids, it will be awesome.
For the gamers, yeah. For the other fucked up people, no, sadly.
yes indeed friend
Meh, It would be nice, except, "kid" is used as a curseword. When i play csgo i often get called kid, people use me as a target if i do something wrong. SO if those people could fuck off it would be nice.
Yeah, we hardcore core gamers can raise even more hardcore gaming children!
+Inf Life U sure u want ur kid growin up on dank memes and Russian kids? oh, and dont forget worst of all, skin insanity o.O
When I have my own children I'm going to try my best to introduce them to gaming so we can have a common interest and a bond built of that interest.
Please don't introduce them to minecraft.
+Clorox Bleach The game should be dead by then...hopefully. And don't just assume things based on my profile name and picture.
Please don't introduce yours to Bleach
I'm going to speak of ye olden times when Dark Souls was around and TF2 was still relevant
+Jordan Hall Those were the days.
my dad was a dedicated gamer to a point where, before i was born my dad was next to my mom, asking if she has ok while playing on his N64. he was the one to introduce me to many types of games and we would play together sometimes if he wasn't bussy. sadly he died a few days after my 15th birthday, RIP old man
Content cop anyone?
yeah
Haaaoooooo
Haaaaoooooo
Yooooooooo
Wooohoo
yep
LOL not the only one
EDUPS is gawde
Are you playing the iDubbbz content cop theme song? LOL
That's what I thought
He didn't make the song. A ton of videos used it before he did.
+Nathan Jacobson FunWithGuru used it before he did and he's a big account so your point is invalid
I know that iDubbbz didn't make the song, guys.
dubbz doesnt have any copyrights for this song and he cant remove any video that is using this track
When I was 3 I first started playing Zelda: OOT (we also had Majora's mask but it gave me nightmares...).
My dad would patiently watch me play and guide me; I couldn't read at all, I was so bad at reading I told my dad I could write my name in the new save creator. I remember him laughing when he saw "BAa" written as the save file. He would read and guide me on my adventures through Hyrule. I'm smiling now thinking back on it. Crying now.
God, I can't type...
Gah, it makes me so happy to think about the time that dad spent with me. He encouraged me to learn to read, but I was resistant, so he stopped reading for me. He bought me Winnie the Pooh books so I could learn to read. When I wasn't playing, I was trying to learn to read. Of couse my dad would still watch me play and guide me. He told me that the colored words the character say are important and I should learn those. It wasn't long before I was reading at a 4th grade level, granted some time did pass. At this point, I still did not save Hyrule. I would often go to the Kakariko Village and pretend I was building roofs.
Zelda was the foundation of my learning and my relationship with my father. I had so much fun, something I wish I had more of today. My days feel dull and repetitive. Of course, I'm excited for some things, like going to Japan this summer, but I've been getting so little sleep with work and school. The other day, I thought myself, "After I visit Japan, can I finally die?" Life has not been cruel to me. I was born very fortunate, but life is full of pain, stress, and regret. I truly only live for these small moments in my life where I feel great happiness. School has been really hard recently... Brought some silly thoughts to mind. My teacher must have noticed my deprivation, and after her class she held her hand for a high five. I high fived her and smiled. I began walking away, but she held her palm out with fingers facing up. She gave me a serious face and powerful eye contact. She was imploring me to hold grab her hand. I grabbed her hand, curious. "Good job, Cameron." I have a breakdown everytime I think about it. The fact that people care for me hurts and makes me so happy at the same time.
Videogames have really held me together. I wish I could play games with my dad, like the old days. We're both so busy, and I'll moving out next year. I'm afraid of the future. I'm so unsure of it all. I know I want to keep on living, for the small things, but I just miss it all so much.
Cameron B. just hang in there man for all we know u might find new find memories's with someone else who will be dear to you like your dad. just make sure to hold on to those memories.
Why is Falcon's voice so awesome ???
Ikr?
He sould be an voice easter egg on a game somewhere.
But not a narrator tho
because he is a falcon
I dont if this is as powerfull as thise stories but im 14 and before i was born my entire family, and i mean entire, my dad, mum, uncles, grandads and grandmothers all played starcraft 1 and i have played since i was 3 and still play sc2 with my parents on a weekly basis. Although i seem to have other come there experience as i beat them every single time :)
Over come*
lol on my birthday when I was in first grade my dad introduced me to sc1, then a couple weeks later we stood in line at midnight and bought 2 copies of sc2. Like with chess, at first he beat me every time but eventually I started to beat him. It might not sound impressive, but when I was 8 we got into gold league 2v2.
Awesome :) Been playing SC:BW since I was 10 years old in 2000. Such a masterpiece.
Well easy for you to brag when you are Korean...
what the actual f**k!!! this literally the EXACT same thing as me, but we also played racing games, assassins creed, cod,skyrim, all halo,minecraft,goat simulator lol im serious and more but most recently we are going to play far cry primal, for honor and battlefield 1 and my dad will pay for most of it! we all have a insane battle staions for example my dad has duel benq monitors and a pc better than mine!!!!!! he also has the g502 mouse(but i do have the g900 not to brag or anything...
Just to help you, the song at 2:38 is called "What we do here is go back"
cool
The entire background aong is that
The last one really hit me right in the feels... ;~; Gaming forever my brothers
I started playing chess with my dad, but around the age of 9 I beat him every single time. Now he doesn't want to play chess with me anymore, but at least I got him into videogames so we can play them together.
nice
William Ocoró
but i spent most of my time building things with legos xD
Tolbryn The IX
naa believe me, theres a los of people that like to say that children have more ability to learn these games but most of the time is just adults dont have the time nor the entusiasm to get better
Tolbryn The IX
Also you and your dad are awesome sir.
William Ocoró thx, he works at home so we can often do something together.
my favourite thing to do is play halo 4 on 360 w my mum and dad, I play with my mum more but it's great, wen we started all she did was walk into corners all the time but I helped her learn, we have been playing for 4 years starting at CE anaversery and for the past year she's had a gold account and is level 58 at the moment, I'm 118 and have a challenge to get to max 130 before Christmas, I'm so proud of her and we now play Spartan ops, some of her best acheavments are starting solo play to try to get a sense of direction (but she's pretty good anyway!), getting better than me at using wraiths and scoped weapons, and a smaller acheavment is killing watchers because she's not so good with moving targets. we started halo because her complaint was that she couldn't tell what where friends and what where foe, so we started halo because we kill 10 foot tall aliens and she gets to wear pink armour! it's made my gaming experience one of the best I could have hoped for.
thanks so much Mum, I love you!
GG dude ;)
I wish my parents would even pick up a controller, *sigh*
so same
I hear you man. Whenever I tell my dad to play with me, he tells me that it's the devil's machine.
same ;-;
Good luck with that, man.
ikr
I wish my parents even picked up a controller. The only thing they do at home most of the time is watch tv *sigh*
RagingRealm Same here
I've been gaming all my life and while I'm not a parent, I have bought up my brothers since my step-father passed away. They're 15 and 11 years old at this time but they've both been gaming since they were, like, 3. They game because I game and they look up to me. Gaming is the way that we all just sit down and spend some valuable time together. It's something special and they know that. Their love for gaming is now stronger than what mine is which I didn't think was possible, but work gets in the way. Either way, they're closer to me than anyone else in the family because of video games (and the fact my room has all the consoles and PC in).
Not to mention, when I was young, me and my whole family used to play Mortal Kombat 3 on the SEGA Genesis. They were awesome times. My family wouldn't do that now (as they all hate gaming apart from me and my brothers) but those times were awesome as a kid.
i play cod and uncharted with my dad

someone's ballin
Don't cut yourself on that edge now.

My father died when I was 8.
I wasn't ready for this feels trip.
I picked up my 5 year kid at kindergarten
I asked: So, what did you do today ?
Son: We played Dark Souls!!
I: uhm.. ok ? How did that work ?
Son: Well I was Tarkus, the other was Solaire and the fat kid was Siegmeyer!!
And that left me with a smile :)
ps: My son doesn't watch me play Dark Souls 24/7
if that actualy happened... those kids have the best parents ever
A single tear just rolled off my cheek
Hope your son didn't kill anybody
+Pachi3080 high chance he did since he was Tarkus and we all know you can't kill Tarkus
+Klemen Dajčman He out poised everyone
I just wanna say I'm a gamer dad expecting a second kiddo soon and I don't usually fall for feel good internet stuff but that truly made me feel good. Havent felt that respected and appreciated like that in a while. Thanks Gameranx. You guys are legends
My dad needed me to help him play dead space.
yep more a less same here but with my uncle instead of my father.
"Well son this game is called Dark Souls and don't wine if you die more than you live"
My son and I play WoW together and console games. I love FPS and RPGS where as he loves Racing and Action but He loves to watch me play and be a second set of eyes for me when I'm playing. We also switch whos playing 360 or Xbone and he keeps saying how he wants to design his own game when He gets older just so I can Alpha and beta test it for him.
while my mom went to bowling i played games with me dad (mkda) and i always won

For the people who are causal players that are to fucking lazy to read
My grandfather is in his early fifties at the moment. When I was around five years old, I used to watch him play video games like it was a cartoon. I used to always tell him what to do, and he usually listened. He even played Cars and Dora with me on the game cube when I was young as well. My parents aren't around, and to have him so committed to having and spending time with me at that age and still now means a lot. I kick his butt at Call of Duty, sometimes. We've played Uncharted series, God Of War, Batman Arkham series, Dead Space, so on! We still do to this day as well.
gonna learn my kid san andreas that's what i grew up with ;)
you better cause that's what I'm gonna do as well
i grew up with that game, played it when i was 12yrs
It was almost 7 or 8 when I played it
Don't learn your kid grammar please.
oh no you said it b4 me
when i have kiddos, I'm going to teach them how to play: civilization, hearts of iron, Europe universals, and more. to create a grand strategic master.
Yeah, war/government strategy games as super fun
Raising future dictators huh... NOT IF I RAISE ONE FIRST! MUHAHAHA!
Yea
dude I love civilization
***** hehehe. GURLFRIEND, COME. WE NEED BABIES. NOW. Says why: cuz I need to beat this guy on the internet.
I know my love for video games is seriously fueled by my parents. I remember sitting down next to my mom while she was playing an rpg, and I would help figure out whatever puzzle or roadblock was in her way. And I remember being nicknamed the walking talking strategy guide since I would always remember what went on in a game. Gamer parents are awesome.
Im 13 and ever since i was small ive been trophy hunting with my dad and my brother
My dad and I used to play Goldeneye on the N64. He was a dirty, no good, screen peeker.
My dad used to play co-op survival with me in MW3. He still plays MW3 survival to this day. Video games are a great bonding activity, if you ask me.
so , I was 8 and was playing gta San Andreas at my cousin's house and my dad walks in the room I pretty much shit my pants and he says as I die in game he says "Why didn't you beat his ass and I just laughed.
My dad loved to play DOOM when he was a kid. I then bought it on steam and showed him it again. (The original doom)
Same here, but instead i shown my father videos of DOOM 4. He didn't believed me saying it weighted around 50GB :D
+Architector #4 Back in the day a lot of games never made it past 1mb, so it was probably quite the shocker
Exactly. He then said that it's kind of too fast-paced and needs to be slower, but apart from that it looks awesome. Now i believe a little bit less that my father played DOOM. (jk obviously)
+Architector #4 Compared to the new one, the old Doom did play out a little slower. Well... The graphics made it look slower anyways
It's an awesome thing to be a parent who games, and when the whole family gets in.... it's brilliant. Me, my husband, our daughter and my brothers. She loves it and it's amazing to watch her taste develop, plus throwing her a gaming party where the adults were in more costume than the kids was truly a sight to behold.

Thanks for trying so hard to inform us about how different and special gamers are!!!You are awesome, I respect you and I'll keep on expecting the best content as always!!! :D
My parents don't understand video games. My mom still doesn't know how to turn on a VCR.
lol
I feel your pain
my mother knows how to work the ps4 into playing movies
I bet at least your parents speak english...
Best comment
so im a girl and im a daddy's girl i love my dad... and my mom but shes not big into gaming. so i grew up with both of my parents in the army im 13 and they were in the army for 10 after i was born and a few more years before hand as well. so when dad was home from being gone for 3 months me and him would sit down on the couch dad would pick a game for the Xbox(usually Halo 1,2,or 3), have me sit in his lap and we would play the until i fell asleep. some of my most fondest memories was those times me and my dad did that. now i have 2 younger brothers than i share that experience with along with my dad and mom some times in the back ground telling us how to play and screams at the jumpscares.
So yeah thats my family in a nut shell
+Makalover22 som cuute
awesome this is my wife and two daughters game with me
nice
My 5 year old son loves playing driving games (need for speed and driver san francisco specifically) on my old PS3 and always wants me to watch him and talk with him about what's going on on screen. It's awesome to watch as he lets his imagination run wild and just laughs so much and then he enjoys watching me play some of my games on the PS4.
My dad died from drinking bleach and my mom died from meme cancer...so i dont have any parent kid gaming moments
Roland the spammer fuck me that's some dank deaths you got there
Ryan Johnson cry about it, brother
some kids play way better than adults
YEP
i could beat my mom and dad at the same time in smash bros when my mom is OK and my dad pretty friggin good
lol that makes no sense
but that's why it's so hard to lose to a kid sometimes. not really because their age but because some will go on and on how they wrecked you. yeah, im talking aout those cod kids.
+SuperAwesomeBros. Bruh does he even know how to DI or juggle?
Just saw this video and I think it's great! About 10 years ago I use to play on a counter strike team with my dad and brothers. We ended up playing in a league and making it to main (just a higher division). Still play counter strike with my dad now it's an awesome way to bond.
Me and my dad are building a pc.
That sounds cool
Thanks it will be!
Same here, but I am the only one doing things. He is just gonna teach me where everything goes and stuff like that.
That's how I got my (then) 9yo son into PC gaming...We assembled his first PC together, from spares I had. Great fun, and, gamer dads out there, do it. Gaming (PC or otherwise, though I'm biased) is a great hobby to share with your kids. And PC building together is even better (even if little fingers sometimes snap a DIMM module while installing it) ...He is 11yo now and he still brags about it at school...
in 2092, pc builds you
I Got my 6 years old cousin into playing skyrim fuck his parents gave him Call of duty for hes birthday
cod ruined my little brother.. all he ever plays is shooters.
don't stick to first-person games, jeez, how about that sweet sweet platformer action
BeadleBear still a first person action game :/
Does the POV really matter though? And they made a toggle view option for a reason. I just like a game that's not entirely shooting something
BeadleBear I'm not saying don't let them play skyrim, but other genres exist too: jrpgs,rts's, puzzle, platformer, racing, fighting etc.
Can't compete with the last one on the list, for sure. I play games with my kid and record videos of them to upload to our youTube accounts. Let's me relive our time together during visitation, since he lives with his mom. Not the same as actually spending time with him, but it helps for those times when he's not here. It's something he wants to do when he's visiting, and we usually play a lot of games anyway. Recording it just gives me that memory-refresher.
me and my mom play gta5 online
ffs you make me jealous
+Andy C D Trust me, she'll love it.
+James Dryden lol
+James Dryden she goes everyday
+Anthony Edwards I'm dead.
Racing the ghost of your fathers' car is honestly just such poetic way to play with him , and it really gave me a warm feeling inside knowing that in some small miniscule way. He can still play with his dad 😢😔😊😊
I really wanted to cosplay Zelda from Twilight Princess, so I showed my mom and dad a photo, and though they've never played the series, they got so excited, they decided to help me make the outfit. Mom helped me sew, dad helped me with the armour and jewellery, and we continuously improve it.
kinda reminds me of me and my father. we always played diablo 2 together. one was responsible for the keyboard, drinking potions and stuff like this, the other one was responsible for the mouse, choosing where to go and what enemies to attack. then, after some time, we switched places. was pretty cool and i'm still a big diablo 2 fan lol
My dad plays all kinds of games and he got me into gaming and its is nice to just sit and watching him play.
The first game and only game I've ever beaten with my dad was borderlands and to this day I still go back to borderlands and play a little bit
When I was about 5-7, me and my grandfather would always play battlefield 2 after his days of work. He would always be in control of the game and I would be the spotter as I have better eyes than him. To this day, 10 years later we still talk about games and bond over them. Best Grandad ever in my eyes
My dad got me into games like Bioshock and Portal a few years back and that kinda just sparked my love for video games of all kinds.
the last clip really got to me.
i use to play the game and it makes me so happy that he feels close to his father by playing it.
my dad and I will play destiny, not together but on the same PS+ account. now I suck at the game however, he's at light 326 (max is 335) and shares most of his awesome gear that isn't quite as good as his main stuff with me. it's an amazing feeling to see his amazing hear and then getting to use. a truly amazing feeling. since we're kinda stereotypical guys in the sense that we don't show affection towards each other much, this is much more unique than if my mom or little sister did the same thing
I love this video, this one really got me like "I really have to be that cool dad" not to the other kids or people, but for my own kids
I played through borderlands 1 and 2 with my dad, I doesn't understand anything about the games but he still played them with me because he wanted to spend some time with me and get to know me better and it just made my hart smile
My dad got me into gaming when I was 3 years old, he was playing Psi ops mindgate conspiracy and I loved playing with him, and now being 14 years old I still love gaming and play every day, sometimes my father plays with me too and I can't be any happier
Since i was 7 years old my dad and I played a lot of LEGO games together and we always had a competition between our two, who firstly finished the game 100% had won. So it made it even better! So I got an even stronger connection with him.
that father's ghost racer made me cry :'0. i wanna leave i mark like that for my kids, grandkids, and so on ❤ that was beautiful
My dad only connected with me, gamer wise, by showing and teaching me how to play Megaman 3. Wish that can happen again. He's still alive, it's just that he hasn't done that in more than a decade.
