Dam Kids...I've had video games in my life ever since I was born. It all started with Super Mario on the NES... the good old days of stomping on turtles and mushrooms... We also had the Super Scope to play Duck Hunt, but my mother refused to let me play with that on the basis that it was a gun... Growing up that trend continued as I was unable to play first person shooters such as Golden Eye, but was allowed the cartoon violence of Banjo Kazooie or the sword slashing in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...

Dam Kids...I've had video games in my life ever since I was born. It all started with Super Mario on the NES... the good old days of stomping on turtles and mushrooms...

Growing up that trend continued as I was unable to play first person shooters such as Golden Eye, but was allowed the cartoon violence of Banjo Kazooie or the sword slashing in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... Yet I wasn't even allowed to play Smash Brothers on the 64! My parents were tough with allowing the games I played... They always looked into them and if they did not approve... I'd have to find a friend who's parents did and play it at their house! :D

Now that I'm older, I have an Xbox 360 and play Left 4 Dead and Halo regularly... mostly with a bunch of swearing angry kids over Xbox Live... And I wonder what ever happened to parents censoring their children? I turned out just fine not playing these games until I was older. They sometimes ruin the game even more than losing does... Not only am I losing... I'm losing to an 8-year-old who's mommy still makes him lunches... and he's got to rub it in my face!

I can take friendly smack talk, I've been known to dish it out once and a while... but I can't stand these freeking kids yelling at me through the night! I've even had one kid swearing at me (and I SWEAR to you this is true) with their mother egging them on in the background!!! I'm pretty sure that's not what "Family Game Night" is supposed to be like...

Anyway... there's my rant... just had to get that off my chest...
