I remember my brother nuked my dad in RA2 once. It was a 3v3 (us 3 vs the AI) and my brother was bored of it so in retaliation my dad pulled my brothers Ethernet cable from the LAN setup and I heard "OH COME ON IT WAS A JOKE!" from my brother's room right after disconnected.

My stepdad moved over here from England when I was around eight years old and brought his softmodded Xbox with him. That huge console with its huge power converter and a hard drive full of snes and gba roms blew my mind at the time, and I still think about how spoiled I was to be able to play all of those great games. My first experiences with Metroid, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Pokémon and Street Fighter were all on that thing.

My dad let me fight the Cyberdemon because he said it's fine to kill animals. Also my dad when there was a huge snow storm in Maine we all went to live where he worked at a mobile home dealership and he set up a huge LAN party essentially.

My dad let me play Wolfenstein 3D and watched me shoot people but when I had to kill a nazi dog he made me uninstall the game.

My dad and I have never been close and still have a strained relationship but, one time he came home from the office, opened his briefcase, and pulled out a copy of Extreme G (N64) he had rented for me because he thought it looked like I'd like it, and he was right. Thanks dad.

Thanks, Dad, for chronically threatening to "crush that drat Super Nintendo into a cube," and then one day disappearing the SNES without warning. I now constantly worry about the impermanence of all my possessions, thanks Dad for the life lesson.

The Gamecube is 4 Super Nintendo's (or 2 N64s) crushed into a cube so maybe he knew something you didn't .

Thanks Dad for renting an snes along with Street Fighter 2 for me on my birthdays and staying up with me really late to play. I grew up poor so my first console as a Christmas gift was the original Xbox shortly after launch with Tony Hawk 2X and Project Gotham Racing. I played nonstop the entire day and I'll cherish the memory forever

My grandpa was in the foreign service so when my dad was in college he was living in Barbados for a while, and there was one arcade on the island with a handful of machines. My dad had somehow learned about the Galaga no fire glitch, went to the arcade and eventually a crowd of like 30 kids gathered around while he absolutely demolished the high scores. Nobody knew how he did it for like 10 years

I went to a computer-themed flea market with my dad in the late 90s, where he bought a whole bunch of pirated stuff on floppys plus a couple he hastily stuffed into his jacket, which prompted me to keep my eye on them when we got home. One was a weird stripped-down pseudo-shareware version of Colonization that almost single-handedly got me into gaming, the other was a bunch of low-res porn including an interactive blowjob gif you could speed up, slow down and scrobble back and forth, which almost single-handedly got me into jacking off. So thanks dad on two accounts I guess.

I never really connected with my dad so I couple years back I thought I'd try via Telltale's Walking Dead because I knew he occasionally stopped on the TV series while channel surfing. He heroically stayed barely awake through all five sessions (I played, he decided), figured out that his choices didn't mean poo poo halfway through the first episode, was a huge fan of the "..." response, probably because it took the least amount of time, and still tells me about how he saw the odd episode on TV when we talk every couple months even though he knows I don't care about it at all. In the end I think we both wish we weren't so fundamentally different people.

I used to catch my dad when he was real stoned trying to figure out how to play counter-strike: condition zero. He was pretty good with the USP but I never saw him use the buy menu which was funny. He'd stop playing as soon as he realized anyone was watching

My dad used to pick up GameCube games on release day for me while I was at school and I distinctly remember the day Metroid prime came out and he picked my up from school in his signature blue flannel work jacket. He never was into games much aside from Tetris back in the day but he and my mom always helped me out to get consoles or games or whatever.

my parents couldn't find a Wii for christmas the year it came out. the following february (i think) I came home sopping wet from the rain after having a really lovely day at school and just wanted to go to bed so I went to my room and turned the light on and a brand new unopened Wii box was propped up on my chair. I was so overcome I cried and hugged my dad
