Unfortunately, you hang around a gamer, you pick up gaming, I guess?
I made sure to not play Grand Theft Auto IV: Chinatown Wars around him.
I can assure all that I made sure I was not poppin' caps in people's asses during turf wars or stealing cars in his presence.
His father on the other hand may have stolen a car or two and went driving with him in GTA:IV.
BH enjoyed watching the "ghost" game: Persona 3, while I played though I didn't play that around him either or do anything other than go to school or occasionally visit the Velvet Room.
The song that plays in that space is kind of creepy with operatic vocals and I don't know where he gets this stuff from but he always wanted me to go see "Ghooosstttss". He associated the eerie sound with ghosts and thus his obsession continues.
One of his current favourites is Crash Bandicoot.
Like most people, he is fascinated by the Tiki Mask, and more so the sound the Mask makes when one collects it.
He doesn't like it when I hit the turtles but he's okay with the spinning attack on some 'kunks (skunks).
So far, his favourite game is Patapon 2. He may love those little one-eyed beasts almost as much as I do and is very upset with them right now that they're building a bridge and cannot be bothered (ie I am finished with the game and won't play it anymore). He keeps asking for them though and will once in a while ask if they are finished building their bridge. I told him that it'd probably take them about 2 years or so to complete.
He likes digging up the garden and wacking pinatas in Viva Pinata. I...don't know anything about that or why H1 would allow such a blatant display of violence.
But it might explain why he will tell his daddy to go "get" certain types of cars in GTA:IV.
Of course, the game that started it all was his love of The Ramones and Rock Band.
He has graduated from singing and is starting to play an instrument...kind of.
::sniff::
I'm so proud!
