I wonder if I have 30 dollars...
but, am moving, so i'll have to wait and buy it full price
I'm getting it for my birthday.
I'll probably just go buy it at Best Buy.
Thats ok, I can afford to pay full price.
My dad can't turn a computer on without asking me a question. And he's probably half a generation up on your dad. [ 07-04-2002: Message edited by: Maradön² ]

My parents are strategy game freaks. In fact, my dad sends me emails in mock (and I DO mean mock) roleplay trying to lure Tim and I out of our "Everqueer" type games and come get our asses kicked. In the last one, he labelled himself the noble "Parentheses", Drysart the heinous "Penusaurus" and I was the lovely Princess "Clitorous". I thought the email was hilarious except for the fact that he sent it to me at work =P
I bet our nosey MIS staff got a kick out of it.

That's just creepy.
As in, RTS games?

Yes as in, "*ring ring* Hello? - Lesley, we bought a froofy fantasy game so you'd play with us. Have you heard of Warcraft 3? - Yeah, everyone on the boards is buzzing about it. - I'm mandating that you get it and play it. Tell Tim we said hello" [ 07-04-2002: Message edited by: Piper ]

Chuckles loudly.
That is SO cool! I wish my parents were like that. Instead they think the computer games I play are going to rot my brain and lead me to want to go chop someone's head off with a sword. 
I think the closest they'd come to a roleplaying game is that board game Diplomacy. Sighs quietly. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Do they play Red Alert 2?
If so, I would love to kick your father's ass in it 
Your parents sound like Deth's dad, Pips. That story is something I could see coming from him.
My dad doesn't use computers, and my mom only plays The Sims and stuff on the Zone. That would rock to have your parents into things like yours are.

I have nothing to say except "HOLY FUCK."
That's about it. I really can't imagine parents like that. Not at all.
Now my grandma...She scares me at times.
She will sit there and play her GBA (yes, hers. She wanted one of her own after I let her use mine). She will play Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. If she loses on a level, she will cuss. No, really. She will.
She also bought a nintendo and the game Bomberman off ebay. She loves that game.
But...well...like with the GBA...if she loses a level, you hear quite the endless stream of curse words. You dont know how creepy it is to hear a 67 year old woman constantly shouting "shit asshole bastard", among other choice words.
No, Im not kidding. She even gives the game the bird at times. I think she has learned from me!
