I'm suprised no one mentioned this, but why don't you play POE2 when he's around? No Americans there, just Ukraine and Germany.

Or just play Surge or Mass Destruction.

wow man, I feel for you...my parents used to be like that.  Then i bought my dad Unreal Tournament.  Since then, whenever I get a new game, I get it for him, too, and we play together.  Father-son bonding.  My Dad plays Bf2 with me and my brother, and he loves it because he lives in NJ, my bro goes to college in DC, and I'm married.

maybe if you ask him if he would like to play it with you?

man that's tough.  He's right, on principles.  But his method of execution of a new policy is not constructive, but destructive.

Good luck, bud........

IMHO!

Let your dad be a dad and respect his views and opinions - no doubt he feels he's thinking about your best interest even thou it's hard to understand his reasoning.  What I would suggest is to get his attention, privately away from other family members, and let him know that you respect his wishes however, you just don't fully understand it.  Invite him to go on-line and try the game for himself - let him turn it on, load the game, press the buttons, and play the game.

When it's right ask him "when you play the game do you think about the country of your player or are you just trying to keep your guy alive".  Also, mention the benefits of this game vs. other games - no blood, no gore & guts, no extreme violence, it's a strategy game, it's about team play, it's an award based game {bling!}, It's based on a US war game model used by the army, etc.  Give him time but don't dis your dad.

Kaboom.

Teabag him while he is sleeping and when he wakes up at the sight of your balls in his face, tell him that is what you do when you can't have your Battlefield

Let me get this straight.  You've played 580 hours and your father just now sees what you've been playing while locked up in your room?

I'm sorry, but that'll never happen in my house.  My kids only 11 and I know EVERYTHING he does.  I'm sure it'll get harder as he gets older, but parents need to be parents.  As long as my kid lives in my house, I'll know everything that goes on. 

The Colombine kids are a great example.  Don't get me wrong, I am in no way comparing YOU with those kids.  I'm just trying to think how parents can go on with THEIR everyday life knowing nothing while their kid is building bombs and creating hate websites on their computer in the parents house.

Like I said, I'm sure your a great person and intend to play BF2 like most of us here.  He's just trying to be a dad as best he can.  It doesn't hurt to sit down and talk with him about it.  I'm thinking as long as you don't show signs of acting out scenarios of the game in real life, what's to worry?

Take some flour and a credit card or similar object (school ID's work wonders) and make it look like a crack snorting line. When your dad comes in look like you've been snorting. Say "this is what happens when I can't play BF2!!!11!".

I tell him that its just a "video game" and its not even real. I guess he wont let me play anymore even if I "only play on US"..... I got like 580 hours and up till now its been OK....but now its a big deal....


Can anyone figure out a valid arguement  that its not "un-american" to play a fricken video game, sometimes being on MEC/China and killing a USMC guy....


This is really weak....
Hey, your dad pays all the bills right (he probably paid for the fucking video game), he can tell you what you can and cannot do under his roof!!

Once you live on your own (i.e. your own apt) you can play whatever the fuck you want!!

I do agree that he is a tad hyper considering it is ONLY a video game! However, it is his house. . . .

Unless there are other factors we don't know about (poor performance in school, not doing chores, etc) then I think his father is over reacting.

Just ask your dad why it wasn't a big deal 580 hours ago. Or ask him how many Americans you've killed lately because BF2 warped your little mind.

You're right it'll get harder. The kid's gonna be learning to be an adult over the next few years, and there'll be stuff involved with that that he isn't going to want his dad to see.

How you deal with that is up to you, but I'd try not to be like this guy's dad.
