Am I a bad papa?

gmku · 07.31.2006, 11:52 AM

If I'd rather listen to the Dead Kennedys on my Walkman than sit with my son and learn how to play Vice City?

porkmarras · 07.31.2006, 11:53 AM

Can you not get your son to listen to Dead Kennedys on your walkman with you then?

pokkeherrie · 07.31.2006, 11:56 AM

they should've put dead kennedys on the soundtrack of the game to avoid families getting torn apart like this.

gmku · 07.31.2006, 11:57 AM

No, he doesn't like them.

porkmarras · 07.31.2006, 11:58 AM

Raymond Scott perhaps?

porkmarras · 07.31.2006, 12:00 PM

Seriously,kids love music and are more open minded about it than you think.My friend's son is a serious Spacemen 3 and Crime & The City Solution fan. He's only four.He also thinks that Raymond Scott has sold out.

gmku · 07.31.2006, 12:00 PM

hehe No, I think our common ground is Sonic Youth. Some of it. He doesn't like it when they get too noisy or weird. He likes parts of Washing Machine but thinks The Diamond Sea is lame, and forget about SYR 4!

We also dig the Beasties together. And Hendrix.

Yeah, I could try that.

Actually, I tried doing VC with my son a couple years ago and he just got pissed off. My hand-eye coordination was shit and I couldn't keep the car on the road. He looked at me and said, "What the hell is wrong with you? You know how to drive, why can't you do this?" like I was messing up on purpose. I think that scared me away from trying again.

gmku · 07.31.2006, 12:52 PM

He's off to college in a few weeks for the first time, by the way. I'm feeling a little sad about that.

golden child · 07.31.2006, 01:01 PM

oh he is big kid?
then fuck him!

i thought you were talking about a little kid...

h8kurdt · 07.31.2006, 01:02 PM

haha I was thinking the same. I thought he was 6 or something.

gmku · 07.31.2006, 01:04 PM

Oh. So becuz he's all of 18, I should stop caring? Sound advice, thanks.

& for the record, not that I'm a huge control-freak, but still, I'd be loathe to let a 'little kid' of mine play VC.

Trasher02 · 07.31.2006, 01:07 PM

You can't play vice city???
Learn how to play it, it's way more fun then listening to the dead kennedys.

gmku · 07.31.2006, 01:10 PM

I'm a real klutz at gaming. I can't handle the controls. No coordination. And I also get bored after about 30 minutes.

jon boy · 07.31.2006, 01:20 PM

tell hime you will play it but then he has to go for a walk with you or something. a drive i dont know.

Lurker · 07.31.2006, 01:21 PM

I think it would be weird if my Dad wanted to playing video games with me.
