Your gaming relationship with your family.
MrFudge | 1:09 PM on 08.22.2007 0 comments


I guess this blog is something that the younger readers of D-toid can relate to more, but I was just wondering what everyone's family here at D-Toid is like about gaming. I mean things like, do you game with your parents? Are they the ones who got you into gaming and so on.

For me personally, I got a SNES from one of mum's friends boyfriends and it started from there. Soon after though, my dad got a Playstation with Resident Evil and he loved that even though he was known to get quite pissed off, a trait I unfortunately acquired as a child.

But one day he returned with Tekken, which taught me the wonders of 2-player games, something new for me at the time. I felt I could actually go all out against him, but now I know it was probably just him going easy on me. My mum has never really gamed much besides Tetris, and for some reason Pokemon Stadium. Throughout my childhood I always wanted a sibling to play games with, seeing as I never got to see my friends too much, due to going to private school when I was younger.

I've never been able to get my family into gaming, and I doubt I ever will, but it'd be interesting to see the stories of fellow D-Toiders. So, do your families game? If so, what games and to what degree?

And now I've posted a blog I guess I can post this image, thus raising myself to the level of Epic Fail, other newbies have done with their 'God thinks I suck' posts.

 about me

I'm 16, I've been playing games since I was about 4 or something. In the next couple of years I inherited my first console,a SNES from my mum's friend's husband who was a pretty hardcore otaku/gamer. Although I don't know him anymore I've got him to thank for getting me into gaming.

The game I probably have the best memories of is FF VIII, but I tried replaying it recently, and found that I hate the turn-based battles now. But a game I still love like I did when I was younger is Mario World, that's still all sorts of awesome. I've also always been into fighters since Tekken.

The current platforms I'm playing are my PS2, DS and Wii. Besides gaming my hobbies are kitesurfing and guitar. I plan to update my blog sometime, I just never get 'round to it.
