The COD in question here is Call of Duty: World at War, which is the game I'm primarily playing these nights online.

Hugh, meeting [his son] halfway, considered the benefits and the drawbacks of the game. "I could tell that the content was accurate - but there was lots of shooting and blowing things up," he says. "But there was a fair bit of that during World War II. So it was undeniable that Evan was experiencing history and there was this teamwork factor ..."

Evan would get to play the game, but before that, Hugh had him look up the Geneva Conventions online, read their provisions, and then the two discussed its history and what they mean. "So the deal is that Evan has to fight according to the rules of the Geneva Convention. If his team-mates violate the Convention [assuming Hugh means online human players] then play stops and Call of Duty goes away for a while."

Man, my dad took me to see Robocop in theatres and helped me beat Streets of Rage 2. This guy sucks :ganishka:

When I was a kid, my dad beat Blaster Master! He's a bigger gamer than I am, and I'd bet he's literally playing Dawn of War II as I type this... and I'm pretty sure violating some virtual Geneva conventions in the process.

Yeah, poor kid.

The only game either of my parents ever really played was Lode Runner, to which they did get addicted for awhile.

I only played super double dragon on snes but that was a fun one to play cooperatively with my cousin. Me and my dad stuck to donkey kong country on snes.

Forget porn, I found my dad's hand-drawn Zelda 2 map underneath his giant speakers.

Your dad is cool. Could you perhaps scan the map? I wonder what it looks like. :guts:

Yeah that's something the whole Internet would like to see I think, no kidding.

:judo: Sorry guys, it's been lost for years. I was just an irresponsible kid back then with no idea how awesome that would've been to keep. I suppose it's either in some dump somewhere or deep in some old box in my dad's attic. Oh, and I just talked to him a few hours ago and he was playing Wind Waker, so even today he's still gaming at least a little bit.
