[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

 

Lol Tanki you fire at tanks, it's not really the same as "shooting" people.

[smarty147 171]

they dislike anything to do with playing on the computer.

Exactly. But my mother puts them all (or did put them all) in the same category.

[Hex 11,520]

My parents don't interfere if I balance out my stuff.

[tousif_the_master 2,240]

Dont play this game, waste of time care about your studies and these things :P

[Mr.Ace 1,116]

My Dad literally plays this game

and my Mom literally Hates this game :lol:

So as long as dad keeps playing it i can play too xaxaxaxaxa :P

[Momma_Bear 149]

I finally told my mom about Tanki and my small role in it.  She was surprised and then confused for a few moments, but she finally smiled and said how wonderful it was that I was "doing some good in the world." :) 

 

As for my own sons, I fully approve of them playing Tanki, of course! 

[VaudeVille 1,428]

Except for two very good real life friends, no one whom I know personally knows that I play this game.

I guess I don't play much anyways and if at all I do, I only play at night when everyone sleeps B)

[Maf 32,300]

I hide my computer and say I'm playing Tanki, when I am actually doing extra school work, so they think I am addicted to it, and they don't like Tanki now.

Hahah, haven't been caught, they still think I'm playing games, lel.

Being  a parent and having my youngest son ( use to ) playing  this game ..I have said this to my son , put it this way i would highly recommend him to find something better to do with his time then to waste it here .. his real life is more important then a computer game that gives you only a small pleasure in life .. where in the real world hanging with friends and making memory's is more important for his future ...and the growth and development of learning to make friends and exploring the world ...

[TTK_229 1,080]

(My name here) get off the computer!!1!11!1one

[MLG_Keemstar 176]

When I play Tanki my mom is like: You play way too much tanki, your going to end up as a criminal

When I play something like Halo 5 or Battlefield 1 ( much more gore and violence ) my mom doesn't  care

That's like driving a truck with 2 wheels

[MLG_Keemstar 176]

I get triggered when you get something wrong

you have to understand we as parents are looking out for the best interest for the future of our children and yea i do agree to a limit that video games can be a good thing in some of the jobs out there .. for example military uses them more now then before ..computer skills also can work in office jobs and working for Mc Donalds due to people who have no ideas on how to use a touch screen to order food and scan bar codes so .. it all depends on what kind of work you are getting into ..

I agree. But some parents are skeptic just because they perceive video games as 'a waste of time' and something which anti social teens in the basement do. That's the image of video games that many parents have, especially in conservative societies. That's what we need to change.

But that's because we want the best for our children. We want them to grow up and be succesful, and it is key to learn as much as you can while you're a child to get ahead of the competition that occurs in the world.  

While there's nothing inherently wrong with video games, they don't make the best use of the time we have here on Earth.

 

And it is true that many futures are ruined (hence the basement stereotype) because the child spent too much time playing video games and too little studying or doing extra activities to bring out his/her potential.

 

And they wonder why the Asians are getting ahead... -_-  

 

And then they blame it on an "unfair" economic system and illegal immigration... <_<

Actually, video games are an amazing way to bring out a child's potential since they provide an interactive environment for a child to explore without any risks. Take Minecraft, for example. Isn't it a great platform for a child to bring out his creativity, architectural or survival skills? I see video games as a form of art. Most parents who are against video games won't have that much of an issue if their child indulged in, say painting or watching good movies. I find that wrong since video games are also, in fact, a new and evolving way of expressing your ideas in a more detailed and interactive way than ever before. It's not just watching a movie, it's living inside it. Of course, it can become dangerous if left alone. That's why we need parents to involve themselves with this. They need to make sure that their child is getting all the right values. Played God of war? Make sure the child understands the pointlessness of violence. The player will evolve with the character and understand the blunder he has committed as he throws himself into the Aegean sea at the end.

So, basically, video games are new. They are still evolving and they will get better. As adults or soon to be adults, we need to make sure they evolve in right direction instead of suppressing them. The more we make attach stigma to games, the worse we make their future. Let's not allow that to happen. :)

i do have to agree with Mine craft all my kids including my self have played on it and its one of the best games out on the market .. you do see more parents in Canada opening up to video games ..its taking a slow turn around but it is coming more and more every day.. would i stop my kids from doing mine craft .. no.. why cause it has so much learning skills.. where as some games for younger players have way too much violence that no child should be subjected too.. including chat rooms / forums where there not regulated properly.. this is where a lot of issues happen..kids being lured out of there homes to meet strangers or even school age teens .or so called friends .. that bad things have happened to them and yea i have seen so much over my life time ,that when they were  younger i watched  my children on the computers .. so that i could  set examples of what could happen..and praise them when they have chosen a game i would allow them  to play on ...

I don't think they care too much. Of course, my mom gets mad at me if I play too much/don't start homework early enough, but that is not a problem all that often.
