I was talking with a coworker about what games my parents allow me to play, and what they let their kids play. My parents were fine with most things bloody things, like Resident Evil 4, Left 4 Dead and Gears of War, mostly because you were fighting like aliens or zombies. They were fine with military shooters too, and got really interested in the Modern Warfare storylines. The game that they really had a problem with was GTA, of course, but later, when my little sister started playing it, they got invested in GTA 5’s story, so eventually we could just play whatever we really wanted. How bout you all? Did your parents have any weird or strict rules in games or movies?

    We had no consoles, I saved all my money to buy a Gameboy color and Pokémon crystal.

    Which mother then said I had to key my twin use as well

    Annoyed as fuck over that. They could have bought their own damnit

    Mother looked at the games I bought for the color but I only really played crystal, donkey kong, that sort of thing.

    The computer was edutainment games only, but me and twin liked Oregon trail 2 and Amazon trail and the like.

    Once the internet arrived they didn’t realize I found a place to download like rpg maker games.
