What do your parents think of N?

[RandomDigits]

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.

My parents dont even know about N

[im_bad_at_n]

my mom is addicted into trying to stop my addiction and my dad doesn't really know i go on n even though we are all in the same house.

My parents don't know. I've been trying to find the courage to tell them for four years but I just can't bring myself to do it.

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.

until they find out this is why all your homework is late...

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!

[blackbelmoral]

same. except they reserve the right to annoyingly take away my only other source: my ds, for a few weeks. i hate that.

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.

My mum likes it. My dad thinks I should not waste the time with playing N. My younger brother is silly so on, he hates it.

[Tunco]

My whole family hates computer games and,games in short words...ARRRGGGHH!!!!!!!!

[maya]

N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. 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.

[faemir]

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 >=(

[Zephyr]

Mum-Dosent know/dosent care, "you spend too much time on the computer"

Dad-"You die alot"

Orange-I'm creating a favorite posts section in my sig so i can put that in

How do i put !@#$ing quotes in my sig?

[wolfgang]

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.

[Sniperwhere]

My parents don't give a damn about N. Heck, every time I mention it, they always say "N? What's that?" Even if I mention it multiple times in the same hour.

[isaacx]

my parents dont care about any games. as long as they dont interfere with my school work atleast

[lookatthisisgoodatn]

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...

[Sniperwhere]

"Ah, no, I wouldn't play that gay game for me life."
Yes, he called it gay.

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.
