Just a quick poll, I'm curious to see how it turns out. Most parents today heavily frown upon video games, without even looking into it. Do your or did your parents dislike when you played games? Now of course playing for an extreme amount of hours is no good for you. But when your average joe plays 1-3 hours a day, is it justified for parents to highly frown upon that? Most cannot understand that it is a hobby, much like sports are. [u]Edit:[/u] It seems that fathers are more accepting of video games. Most of you say your mother highly dislikes it. And a very small amount of parents play video games themselves which is awesome.
