Yeah. I can only play during holidays. But they allow me to play after exams since we basically don't have homework during that time.

yeah i mean they were pretty reasonable but when it got too intense ( 5+ hours on end) then they would warn me i should do something else. im not s HUGE gamer but i definetly visit the site every day and download games and play them. its a great passtime especially as it is summer now.

My dad has never cared what kind of games I played.(First game I ever played was Doom 1, or maybe Wolfenstine 3D, the gold 'ol days of gaming) he used to care how long I played, but he doesn't even care about that any more.

my parents aren't very tech savvy so they cant password lock a comp or something like that. They could've hid an entire system of mine but they never did either. Guess it was too much of a hassle.

Back when I was growing up, my parents tried to. Little did they know that I kept a spare handheld system hidden at all times in case I did something stupid and had my privileges revoked. There's nothing like a can of Mountain Dew, a Game Boy and a few hours less sleep to make you feel free again.

Nope. My parents are not around. wahahaha.. I even bought my own DS. hihihi.. They never restricted me in any of my games though, in fact they were the ones who introduced me to my first game console as a kid. I'm living with my younger siblings now.. I'm their new parent. wahahaha.. FYI, I don't restrict them in anyway about their gaming. My brother likes online games, while my sister likes to play online and console games. :-)

They don't restrict me in gaming though they constantly give advice which is usually ignored.Late nights for gaming are a blast. Woot!

my parents didn't restrict me when i was little, could explain the wierd guy i am today. mortal kombat and time killers were in my game library...and they were never the ones to try and revoke my game systems, since they were bought for me and belonged to me, it was the tv that always got taken away. that belonged to them.
