Figured this was the best place to post this, my mother has recently took an interest in esports and inspired by miniWHEAT I have undertaken the task of making her a progamer.

This was filmed on a whim earlier, and I plan to teach her sc2 in the upcoming weeks.

Love the accent. Good luck in teaching your mom sc2, RTS games are hard ones to make people interested in them. I feel like either people have the interest in them or they don't. It seems quite black and white

I used to raid with a couple whose children also played. It was weird hearing a couple's marital discussions in the middle of the fucking raid. Then again, the husband used to sing and it would embarass the shit out of his wife. It was great.

That game can be pretty infuriating, though. I've yet to complete either Angry Birds or Seasons. T_T

Hehe, awesome mother! How old is she (if I may ask^^)

My parents both play video games. My father played RPGs (Icewinddale, Baldur's Gate) and strategy games (Warcraft 1, Heroes of Might & Magic). My mother only adventures (The old Interplay Star Trek games from '92, Monkey Island, ...).
Though both of them switched to Lord of the Rings Online ~2-3 years ago. Now all they do is play that with my sister (raiding and stuff), because they dont have a lot of time (casuals, 4-5 hours a week)
Reminds me I promised to help my mother and teach here how to use hotkeys...

My father was thinking about picking up SC2 but then said "I'm too slow for RTS these days".
Both are 59 =)

Heaps of Mums play WoW around here, I've chat to a few at work actually back when I played in the classic days. My partner plays Lord of the Rings Online and has for a few years now and she's always running into older females playing on it.

Pretty cool IMO.
Just a simple guy, going wherever this journey takes me.

My father in law is a dedicated gamer almost in his sixties. He usually ends dinner with: "Dear (his wife), could you please clear the dishes tonight, I have to go see about saving the world." (He plays single player strategy games and WoW)

Oh yeah, same for me. She often also asks me to look up how to beat that level she's stuck at.

Also my dad enjoys playing games, mostly single player ones, like Mafia II, CoD and similar ones. He has also played SC2 single player, after seeing me play it. I remember playing Q3, NFS:U and Warcraft 3 (amongst other LAN titles, I remember these off the top of my head) on LAN as well, it was pretty fun. Shame he doesn't have too much time for gaming nowadays though.

I think it's pretty common for fathers to play games, maybe not q3 sc2 etc but the majority of people's fathers (that I know) have a console, something to do with trying to recapture their youth probably .

My mum thought the same for quite a while, It wasn't until I explored and explained to her the benefits of gaming (networking with people from other countries, media aspects etc) that she approved of it and started to take an interest in what I was doing, after that she was happy and supported me with it.

What language is this?
And why is your mother the coolest being ever?

My mother, like all mothers in my family, find video games to be the bane of my growth and possible prosperity. Additionally, I got her to play Mario Kart Double-Dash once, she somehow managed to get us to boost backwards.
