Happy Motharrasss Day

Happy mother's too all mothers here and mothers of people here at Dtoid!

What time to tell you about my mother and her expirences in video games. Well, to start off I've always tried to get my parents to play games and I have had little to no success. But in the case of my mother she will always try whenever she can. Her favourite game by far is Mario Kart 64. Most likely for the reason that she beat one of my brothers in a race in Moo Moo Farm.

To this day she still brings it up and takes a moment to bask in her glory. She still likes me to hook up the ol' N64 for a game of Mario Kart, and I've considered buying Mario Kart 64 on the Wii but I've never gotten around to it. Mario Kart Wii might be a good birthday present for her....

She played various games throughout the next few years, nothing really standoutish. She tried hopelessly with GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas and VI. She loves to sing in rock band, very obnoxiously might I add. She's tried Guitar Hero, and she wasn't all that bad.

She has tried Halo, she has tried everything in between, nothing really worked for her other than Mario Kart. Then one day i got her to try Wario Ware: MegaMicrogame$! I tried to find the easiest mini game for her, i came up with one where you drop a strawberry on a piece of cake. She loved it, she played it for hours on end, just that one minigame. She eventually got the high score and ran with it. I refrain from playing that minigame now.

That also reminds me of a minigame with my dad on WarioWare: Twisted. It was one where you had to jump sheep over a fence to keep a kid alsleep of something. He also played that for hours on end, and got the high score and I also do not play that one anymore. (well that not exactly, I tried to beat his highscore once, I didn't even come close)

I've set up some tennis matches on Wii Sports with my parents, and they all end in hilarity.

Well until next time, keep on keeping on mothers!




I'm gay because I like Coldplay.
(bonus: my moms favourite song)

Aw, parents who play games <3. My grandma loves the original Zelda, and used to play it with me when I was little. Families who game together stay together.
