This thread is for the gamer moms out there that we know & love. Share your best mom stories. I remember we used to play the first super mario bros when I was little. She would always start and say 'when I die you can start playing' but she never died. I used to be all like "MOM!!!!" but she kept to the rules -- she knew what she had to do to raise a hardcore gamer and I'm glad she did. My favorite moment though is when she showed me the whistle trick on super mario bros. 3. A big moment in gaming for me. She can't beat me in any game now, though, but we game whenever I hang out with her.

accidently made this thread in games so here is my opquote:my mom was decidedly not cool about video games growing up, but that never stopped her from enabling me.

when I was little I couldn't figure out one of the haunted houses in super mario world, and she actually went up to an employee at funcoland (I think) and asked them to find out how to get through the level for me and they did

my mom thinks vido games are a giant waste of time and is discouraging my dream of becoming a video game developer. hopefully I'll listen to her one day.

my grandma who is 78 or something still plays video games. she introduced little 3yo me to such NES games as final fantasy, kickle or whatever (ice pushing ownage game), original tmnt, gradius, contra, etc. she played all these with me and we played all the good and bad snes games together (yuo know the ones). now she plays ps2 games she's beat all the kingdom hearts, all the jak+daxter games, crash bandicoot games, shadow of colossus, etc etc. I'm going to buy her a wii u for christmas and play more games with her. she owns. you can hear yelling at the video games during the day+night ("AWW! HELL TURKEY!" "drat IT. POO POO BUTT!" "AHH! GET 'EM GET 'EM HELL FIRE!")

Endorph posted:so does she only hate japanese games and is cool with like canadian/us/korean games or does she hate those and double hate japanese games It's more Japanese culture and I think it stems from similar reasons as to why there are tensions between Korea and Japan China and Japan and...basically every other asian country and Japan

My mum has been slowly trying to beat Spyro for like 15 years and I was thinking the other day that she'd probably die before defeating Gnasty Gnorc. It made me really appreciate my own mortality.

She's still really proud of filling out the whole map in Sim City 2000 like 20 years ago.

My dad has been playing Halo 1 for 8 months and finally beat it and now he doesn't know what to do it took him a full year to get through metroid prime and I had to beat the boss for him because the first time he got close to finishing the final form a cat jumped on the reset button

Koreans have the biggest gripe about this generally, mostly because they were under Japanese colonial rule the longest. Ofcourse it looks very silly to everyone else.
