What do your parents think of N?

Talk about whatever is on your mind, if it doesn't go anywhere else.

Yeah. I mean it's on my computer and all... Plus, it seems in the past, I've been wrong about her opinion more than once, so I haven't really felt like checking. And I don't know how I'd introduce it to her now, and still make a convincing impression of being a noob :\ It would require a lot of lying.

What you need to do is invite them over to your SoHo loft, cook them a nice meal and after they're all fat and content, just come right out and tell them. They're your parent. They'll love you no matter what.

I haven't opened N in about 5 months, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure my parents don't know that I played it, though. They always yell at me for "thinking about games too much" and it gets on my nerves because I do more than just play games on here. I read Wikipedia, the news, the weather, go on Youtube, and while I was still in school, even if it was half-assed and rushed, I EVEN DID HOMEWORK OMGOSH

Actually, no. It's just easier, faster, and more convenient to access those things on the internet. My parents hate cyberculture and the general electronics field, and it has been the source of many arguments, fights, and screaming matches. Fun had for all!

At least you have an alternative source of entertainment other than the computer. I have maybe one commercial game for it, Age of Empires 3, which I have to run on lower settings because my computer is old. I used to have Max Payne 2 but the 2nd install CD is too scratched up to use anymore. I do have a PS2 as well, but my selection of games is fairly limited. I want to get a 360 sometime this month, as I'm job hunting right now.

I also hang out with a couple of friends from time to time, so at least I'm more social than I used to be. Driving is such a liberation.

Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.



lol at all of orange's activities.


and my mum doesnt really know the n game, and my dad watches me playing it sometime. he secretly enjoys it but when i asked if he wanted to try , he declined. hes missing out big time.

My parents are fine with my playing any game. The only reason they had against me playing N was it was the only time I've sworn in their hearing - they take swearing extremely seriously (not to say I throw swear rounds okay or think it's fine and dandy).

The bigger problem is that my parents moan how i'm always on my computer. Because apparently that equates to playing games which equates to wasting my time.

I'll be damned if I'm drawing or reading the news, or talking to people, or learning japanese etc etc >=(

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Reading these posts makes me happy my parents are so relaxed.

Anyway, my parents are disinterested in whatever I do on the computer, but if they took notice of N they wouldn't have a problem with it. I think my dad once told me not to hammer the keyboard so hard when I was trying to chimney jump through doors on St Atilla's training maps.

My twin sister actually played it a little, but she's not really into games that much so she just forgot about it.

I showed them the game, my mom seemed to like it. I asked her if she wanted me to teach her how to play, she accepted.

We just didn't get around to that.

My dad, I don't think, cares very much.
Some moron in school watched me play it for a couple of minutes. I asked him if he wanted the URL, he said:
"Ah, no, I wouldn't play that gay game for me life."
Yes, he called it gay.

Bet he's secretly playing it right now...

Tell him to say that to the Metanet community. One of the most intellectually advanced forums on the web. That way, he can see how "Gay" it really is. :P

Nah, I bet he really is playing it in secret.
