Thought this would be an interesting topic to go over. Have any amusing stories of this nature?
While my mom tends to dislike my gaming passion, oddly enough, most of the stories I'm going to post are about her.
My friend was playing Majora's Mask and about to face the boss of Great Bay Temple. I don't remember/know the name of it, but the important part is the boss title: gargantuan masked fish. She thought it said "gargantuan naked fish".
Fast forward, me and that same friend are adults, but still love our games. I hadn't gotten Awakening yet and my friend was telling me how you can "recruit your kids". Mom said: "I'm gonna recruit my kids and make them do housework!" And I was like Mom that's probably not how it works.
One time I got my mom to play Crash Team Racing and she kept going the wrong way, even with "wrong way" flashing on the screen...
My aunt was watching my brother play Skyward Sword, and he was in Skyloft screwing around, he picked up a pumpkin and my aunt saw the thing that shows you where it would land if you throw it, and she said "That pumpkin's peeing!" I had to explain the aiming thing to her.
So, yeah...comment on others' stories and add your own.
