My Dad plays COD!

[Lord Sam]

So, I get a call from my dad the other night, and he is stuck on Call of Duty 3 in chapter 8 where you have to use the mortar to clear the road ahead of you. So I tell him to keep hitting the roadblack an eventually you'll get past it. He has already finished COD 2 on normal and hardened, and even got about halfway through it on veteran before he gave up and moved on to COD 3. Anyways, I told him about the PGL Friday Night games of COD 3 we've had and he thought that was pretty cool.

Then I thought about it again the other day...my dad turns 65 this year. How cool is that? I hope I'm playing Call of Duty Eleven when I'm 65.

That is very cool! My dad and I always play Madden together and have since the very first one came out on the Sega Genesis. He is 60.

That's very, very cool. Unless your dad is that SugarJack guy... in which case it's creepy...

I play games with my son, and I hope we always do. If you think your Dad would have fun and keep up enough to enjoy it, bring him along for FNFF!

[Peench]

That's awesome! I don't think my dad would play any games with me... unless its Poker in Vegas (we'll be there next Mon and Tues so I'll be AWOL).

I play games with my son now and really hope I'll still be playing them for the rest of my life. Think about it this way - how cool were the games we played when we were kids? Now how insanely different is the game experience now? And we're talking about less than 20 years. Imagine 20+ years from now how crazy games will be? I hope to be gaming for a long time and hope my son has fun gaming like I do (so far he enjoys it and is pretty dang good).

to your dad - If you think its safe, maybe he can join us some FNFF.

Thats just Great

The only game my dad played with me was Tekken 3, he kept using LAW, he said it was bruce lee and all he kept doing was those damned Kick flips. I HATE THAT! I ended up getting pwned, then he said ok ill change guys, He then picked Eddie Gordo, I then banished him to Insurance work for the rest of his life.

I would bring him into the FNFF but he lives in the sticks in Alaska so my folks can't get high speed internet where they live. I know, it's like a third world country at times.

I actually got him hooked on video games with Resident Evil 2. He liked it and bought a PS1 when he got back to Alaska. My mom will read the walkthrough for him and tell him what to do and where to go so the two of them kinda play games together.

The funniest time was my mom had me on the phone while they were playing some game and this is what I hear out of my mom: "Ok. open the door on your left...your other left....no watch of for the zombies on your right, turn right, TURN RIGHT! Shoot the zombie, Shoot them! JESUS SHOOT THEM!!!"

I wish the FBI was listening into that phone conversation.

I can only imagine hearing that conversation out of my parents!! That's incredibly funny!

[Quo]

Nice! That's awesome.

[Jon Liu]

Psh. That's nothin' Peench is 69 and he's still playing games!!!

[Thornes70]

Nice! My pops plays CoD and some other crap on the PC; can't get him to spring for a 360 though. It would be cool to game with him.

Oh the saga continues...so my dad calls be up last night and tells me he just finished Call of Duty 3. Hey, that's awesome, we chat for a bit and then he asks...

Dad: So, what else ya got for me?
Me: What do you mean?
Dad: Games, I need a new game now. Is there a sequel to Gun? I like that one.
Me: No, no sequel.
Dad: When does Halo 3 come out?
Me: Uh, maybe Novemeber-ish. Maybe.
Dad: Geez, what am I going to do now?

three seconds of silence

Me: Ok, I'll send you some gam-
Dad: Right on!
Me: es, how about...I'll give you my copy of Gears of War tha-
Dad: Great! What else.
Me: ......and I'll get you a copy of Rainbow Six Vegas off the shelf.
Dad: You're awesome!
Me: (sigh), I know.

Geez, my old man is getting to a be pain in the butt! I'm sick of supporting his habit. Oh well, he did raise me (I now have to consider having kids myself, to support me when I'm playing the Xbox 12)

Your dad is awesome!

[Peench]

That's awesome!!!

You're like his game dealer! hahaaa!

I remember when my Dad finished some N64 games, and was frantic when I told him thats all we had. You can tell I got two free games out of it

my mom started playing ps2 when i got a good job and couldnt play as often, and she begged me to let her have it when i moved out. she's addicted to spyro and those ratchet kinda games. she told me when i came out there for my wedding that since i have the 360 i should give her all my ps2 games.haha.
my dad has always played games. i was young, but i remember when doom, wolfenstein, and duke nukem(my personal fav) came out. i must have played that game through atleast 6 times.
my dad hasnt played in a long time but last sept. we brought our 360 down and he saw us playing COD and he went out the next week to get it for his PC. he's totally addicted to it just as bad as i am. i wish he'd play on 360 cause it'd be awesome to play with him online.
