I wish my dad got me into video games when I was 4
I didn't even try to get him started... he just watched me and wanted to play.
I remember back when I played Gears 1... the end fight with General Raam gave him nightmares lol... and his mom yelled at me.
Sounds just like me and my ol' man. I was maybe four or five years old, watching him play his Atari 2600. I was fascinated and wanted to play with him. He taught me how to live with a controller in my hand. Atari 2600, Intellivision, Super Nintendo... man, that was my after school thing was to come home and get the daddy-daughter unstoppable gaming duo going. When split-screen 2-player started going out the window (like a lot of the games we got for original Playstation), we'd tag-team it instead. One of my most vivid memories is the two of us playing through Metal Gear Solid... one would watch, the other would play. When he got stuck/befuddled, he'd hand me the controller because I could usually figure it out... then, I'd play until I got stuck/befuddled, and hand the controller back to him because he could usually figure it out. Went through the whole game like that. Awesome times.
Poor Mom was a bit jealous, though. She'd wanted a girly-girl to do girly stuff with. Dad had wanted a son and, while not disappointed when I was born, kinda had that whole slight let-down thing going. Until it turned out I was a tomboy... then he got a son anyway to play video games with, take to football games, take fishing, etc.! LMAO
So cool you get to share that with your son. And get to watch him beat up on your friends, too! LOL Treasure these times, man. You are making memories for him that he will look back on later and occasionally tear up over (manly tears, though... manly tears).
Thanks DR
I do treasure these times. Before too long he won't want anything to do with me... it'll be all cars, gals and homies. Gotta enjoy him while I can...
