    If any of my parents took any interest in any game I played when I was a kid, I would 100% play that game with them, alas…

      My dad used to play some Mortal Kombat with me. Until one time, it was in my early teens, 13 or 14 maybe, I had been playing a lot of it recently and was just whooping his ass. Like 8-0 streak kind of ass beating. So he bet me $20 I couldn’t do it blindfolded.

      Well I did, I lost one round but won two to get the match purely off of sound cues and blind luck, and he paid me $20 and then never played a video game with me ever again.

          No. No, it really wasn’t. I wasn’t socially aware enough at the time to think to throw the match. But to be fair I didn’t expect my dad to pull such an ultimate rage quit.
