So today I ask my parents if I might be able to run to the mall and grab a Wii at my local Bestbuy. Apperently my parents are still into the whole "Nintendo is only for the kids!" thing and refuse to let me waste my cash on one now. What is a guy to do?
You probably couldnt get one anyways because they are sold out everywhere.

:/
Why don't you just take the bus or something and get one anyways? (If there are any left)

But thats the weirdest excuse your parents have, why do they care if its kiddy or not? I could understand they not wanting you to get a console for its violent games, but too kiddy? Like WTF?
show them a Red Steel trailer

No its not that out there, I've heard it before. Sometimes parents think gaming is just for kids and that they should be spending their money on more important things.

I see, well, i'm glad my parents know its fun, and also, its the ONLY think I spend my money on XD.
Since I'm 19 I can't really turn to my parents and ask for $400 for a gaming console lol.
I have the money and all. It's just what can I do with that money...
Why don't you just get your money, take the bus, and go out and get one!

Its what I would do XD.
lol my mom is standing in line FOR me!

That's what my parents think exactly. You were so dead on with that, it's scary.

....This is creepy. Same for me. We could be twins or something Toungue
I work my @ss off for my money and then when I want to spend it on something I want, I can't. Mad0mg

Well it isn't at all like my parents don't appreciate games. My dad plays Unreal Tournament with me a lot, he bot like 3 copies so everybody could play. It's just he thinks Wii is too kiddy. And as for taking a bus... You try to find a bus service on an island...

Wow. That's a worse argument than my parents'.

Poet's option is already sounding the most logical lol Toungue
