My parents think it is a waste of time. And y'know, I told my mom I wanted to go into game design for a career. D:<
I want to get a 360, they said I could if I bought it, but then they were all like "Noo, you could do other things.

If you buy it with your own money i don't see why it would be a big deal.

My mom hung out at arcades in her teenage years and was awesome at the games. She's always been supportive of my interest in video games... guess I was lucky @_@

Okay, that is just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG in SOO many ways!! These aren't games, but I have an uncle in his mid thirties AND 83% OF HIS TIVO SAVEBOX IS FAIRLY ODD PARENTS. As far as I know, my aunt loves it to!! If my mom did that, the following would happen:
Me: after a long screaming match, I run out the door and run as far as I can before passing out. sweatdrop
Luckily, that won't happen. My... dad at least, is way supportive of my gameing. He might think I spend to much time on my DS, but he is 110% okay with me gameing.

I know this is a bit crass, but just tell her you plan on picking up crack and getting pregnant with your new-found freetime. And maybe joining a gang or becoming a hooker, and then that way you'll never be at home anymore. Sorry, but parents are my least favorite kind of people...

I'm one of the lucky ones that had a diagnoses where I had to keep my wrists and fingers moving a lot to alleviate pain, so my doctor told me to get more game time in. That man is still my hero.

lol Good job! My dad plays games, so sometimes when my mom picks on me, my dad is there to defend me, saying he wants it instead. We have like...3 PS2's in our house. xD

My mom is too busy to notice biggrin
Also my friend's parents are all gamers, so no worries.
Still, if you're too stupid to put down the controller or log off so you can get an education, help out around the house and be socially skilled, then your parents should take away your video games. Otherwise they're not being good parents, they're setting you up for failure.

That would never, ever happen to me unless - by some extremely unlikely chance - moved up to my Dad's. My Mom and Step-Dad are gamers like I am, and under stand the "Be there in a sec! Gotta save my game!" thing.
My Dad and Step-Mom, on the other hand, hate it when I spend all day in the house playing games. My Step-Mom threatened to throw my PS2 out the window if she heard any more "annoyingly repetitive video game music". That nearly made me want to smack her...
So, yeah, ask her how she would feel if some form of entertainment she really enjoyed was suddenly taken away, and don't take "I don't have any" for an answer, because everyone does.

Speaking as a parent, and also as someone who has had parents, my mother always wanted me to get rid of "junk" I didn't need, and she was always asking me, "Are you sure you still want this? Aren't you too old?" I will give her credit that she never got rid of anything that belonged to me because she believed that was wrong. But I know of far too many people, including my own husband, whose mother never asked but waited till they was off at college to get rid of old comic books, magazines, and toys - many of which today would be quite valuable. None of my things were ever taken away and disposed of until I was ready myself to give them up. In those days, there were no such things as video games, but the same principle applies. I kept mostly favorite books and old records and a few other odds and ends.
My brother, on the other hand, kept nothing. He had a lot of stuff that would be valuable today, but he was just like that kid in "Toy Story" - the one who destroyed his own toys and took out some of his sister's things, too. I had one of those original Barbie dolls which today are worth thousands of dollars in good condition. My brother destroyed her, too.
My son is a pack rat. he has managed to keep almost everything he ever had, including all his old video games.
