I like how religious nuts put forth their religious beliefs into every aspects of life. I'd like to think of Doom3 as just a game and leave it at that.

Agreed, but that could have been phrased more tactfully.

Tell them you're practicing to help Jesus during the Secnd coming, I mean if you don't familiarize yourself with the weapons and keep up your reaction time you aren't going to be of much use. I mean if the JC looks at you and says "Shotgun or machine gun?" how are you going to know which does more damage without trying it out first? You don't want to choose wrong in front of him, that's for sure.

Go buy Manhunt. If they think DOOM3 is bad, they'll sh!t their pants when they see that game.

And pull an Eric Cartman. When they bust down your door while you're playing D3, scream "F**K JESUS!"

Lots of posts, so sorry if someone said this already(doubt it). One of the guys that did major work on the original doom, i dont htink he worked on this one though, was a mormon guy that was really religious. He said it was ok because you're killing the demons.

That said, your parents are unreasonable. I know spirituality is supposed to enhance your life, blah blah blah, but seems most people just use it to have a fit about everything fun. Just say you got rid of it and play it when they aren't home/at night.

Actually don't play it, cause i can't, its in the mail as we speak, make it get here faster!!!!

That's pretty interesting... you're right, nobody's mentioned that yet.

Though I agree there are a lot of people who whine and fuss over nothing just to make a show, it can also be said that often times people don't take the time to really think about what they're doing and simply act on impulse...

I tried using telekenesis to speed up your delivery, but I'm afraid my only accomplishment was blowing the rear-right tire on the FedEx van... sorry for any delay.

Ok, i haven't read all of the posts so if someone else said this, excuse me.

The trick with parents is to take away any leverage they have. If they won't buy you a game, buy it yourself, play it on a computer you built yourself even give them some money if they say that they're paying for the electricity that runs the computer. You're 18, you can die for your country on the other side of the world and vote for the guy that put you there, it's time to start doing things according to your won ideals and not someone elses.. not even your parents. If all of this fails, play at a friends house or just wait until you get to college and play all you want.

Yes, "their house, their laws". But I kinda believe that teenage rebellion (call it that even you're not a teenager) also serves to show parents the errors of their ways too. I'm not religious, grew up in a family that was also "do/believe whatever", but even so, I think your parents are overreacting. Didn't they rebel when their folks said that Rock 'n Roll was the music and work of the devil? Or did they obey and only listen to gospel/church music after that? Get my point?

If you can't differentiate between a game and reality than there is a problem. That part is concrete. The argument should not go past that.

"Mom, Dad, do you guys understand the difference between a game and reality?"

I don't leap on mushrooms and turtles, I don't steal cars, I don't snipe people with an AWP, I don't knock people out and steal their clothes, I don't dress up in medeival outfits and try to slay people dressed up as ogres (...), and I don't plan to build a BFG and try to kill a demon .... if you could even find one.

I mean, yea, at the end of their day it is their house. I'd hate to get kicked out of the house for playing Doom3, but if it came to that, cya mom and dad.

BINGO, and if your parents control you like that at 18, move out already, yeesh

 

[cw42]

wow and you're 18? if u were lke 12 i could understand... lol.

 

[pkananen]

I am a strong Christian myself. I debated over Doom also. I'm 22, and living with the 'rents one last summer. They don't know I have it, and probably would think it is a bad influence for me. (flamers: NO, NOT because they are over-controlling or protective, but because as Christians we SHOULD be trying to keep each other on a standard of righteous and holy living). I think if the game causes you to have any kind of fascination with Satanic things, then don't play it. I do take the "Its practice for Armageddon" approach. Then again - honor your mother and father.

Computer games don't affect kids. I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

That quote, while fake, is meant to be ironic, and thus you've proved the opposite of what you were attempting to.

It sounds to me that perhaps their information concerning the game is coming from a somewhat biased source that has not evaluated the game itself. Sure, it has demons. So does the Bible. Sure, it has explicit violence. So does the Bible. Sure, it can be reptitive. So can the Bible. The pivoting factor in all of this is that in playing the game, your role is to combat evil, and from a moral perspective it's in line with the Bible in that good does not align itself with the Hellspawn demonic legions. If they want to be legalistic about the portrails and accuracy, remind then that it is a fictional game and if they are still concerned, tell them where to go (albeit politely if you value free rent).

My 2¢.

Consider this guy's parents pwned.
