They are illustrative of how silly your statements are. You can replace "video games" with virtually any noun. Human beings got along just fine without laptops too, that doesn't mean laptops aren't beneficial.
How?
Only 15, can't get a job yet :/
Asian parents op, they haven't given me a game related present since I was 8. Now I'm just getting MONEY THAT I CAN'T USE.
Hey man, there can be many jobs my friend. I was working at a Produce stand at 15. Just ask around. During these summers of college I work at a Rental/moving/party company. But usually it's only for people out of college.
Sometimes you can't always get what you want. Right now, given you are still 15, just accept what your parents have told you regarding the console/game and see if you can maybe go to a friend's house. When Brawl was coming out I was on smashboards and the dojo constantly even tho I didn't have (and would never get) a Wii. What I did was go with my best friend to the midnight release then go back to his place and "sleepover" which mean play until the sun came up. After that I'd go every now and then and play a few matches. If you can't do any of that then just try to get it out of your mind. Do other things. It sucks but that's life and honestly it really shouldn't be a big deal. Brawl was the only game I've played pretty much in that gen (until I got a 360 in college around three years ago). Before that I was lucky to have a GC, PS2 and GBA (tho well after launch which is another option for you to just get the console and game a few years later if you still want to play). I only ended being able to get around 3 games per console so I missed out on a lot in that gen too. It sucked but again not a big deal. Just know that one day you'll be in control of your money and you'll be able to get whatever you want (within budget of course you don't want to go broke). So point is, you'll be fine.
). Best of luck!!
Implying that videogames (ESPECIALLY NINTENDO GAMES) aren't a rich form of entertainment. And how do you know videogames can't help in life? Videogames help with hand-eye coordination (Pretty much any action-based game), critical thinking (Puzzle games and adventure games, and most importantly, they make people happy, they're a medium that you can inmerse yourself in, just like a book or a movie :/How?
It's not barbaric to refuse to give your kids something they don't need and won't help them in life. Kids should be learning skills instead . . . and reading books.
On topic: I don't have a Wii U and won't be able to get one for a while. No Smash for me.
SO I should stop playing smash and go read twilight?How?

If your parents would ever make you feel like buying a game is reason for them to not let you live in your house, they are terrible people, and even worse parents who should have used protection if they didn't want to be emotionally nurturing to someone.
Not sure why you have your age set up as 33 but okay. This makes a bit more sense to me.
Oh well, like Venus said. See if maybe your friends can get ahold of the games if they happen to have the required system and just play the games with them.
When i was young, I couldn't use my real birthday to sign up for things (gmail/forums/etc) because it said you had to be at least 13 or something, so I made my DOB the year 80 and stuck with it
You really shouldn't lie.
whoa, have you seen this modern generation? Children who play the right video games are ok, children who play no video games at all (or fps CoD games) are ****ing terrible.
Really what you are saying here is just plain bull****. It is proven fact that children necesserally NEED games. It doesn't have to be video games though. But taking in account that we write the year 2014 and video games are everywhere you could say that parents, who prohibit their child to buy a video game console, are just stupid. They have no reason and your idiotic reason "as long as he lives in the parents hood they have to obey" is dumb. I have good experiences in this, since my mother was always prohibiting me things when I was a teenager. But I always got what I wanted, because I managed to persuade my parents with logical reasons. Stupid outrightbanning video games is definitely not logic. And I think playing video games with friends, and that whats a Wii U stands for is definitely something that is good. Socially and mentally. PERIOD.
His parents aren't banning him from beds or books though, and one could argue that books are absolutely necessary to begin to even the learn the literary capability to even play games properly, and more importantly, to progress through school. Given he's around a freshman in high school, why don't you try to tell me he doesn't "need" books. Yes I suppose he could fail out of school because he doesn't "need" school either. He doesn't really need a a balanced diet while were at it, he'll just die earlier.
To be fair, while his final statement isn't really a question, it nearly directly implies that he's inviting input for how to go under his parents radar.
Still, there isn't a need to go into a lengthy debate what exactly good/bad parenting is. That is for an entirely different subject that I am sure one can find in the Debate Hall.
Asked if other people couldn't get the game because parents dictated your life, and get 20 more people trying to dictate your life?When i was young, I couldn't use my real birthday to sign up for things (gmail/forums/etc) because it said you had to be at least 13 or something, so I made my DOB the year 80 and stuck with it
Btw, this thread was mainly to ask people if they can't get their hands on the game like me, but somehow it ended up about me, so thank you for those who are trying to help me.
Well it's more like, is it natural or acceptable that his parents would ban him from buying video games and is it worth discussing how to circumvent that ban, to which my answer is no. Relatively on-topic I'd say since that's the advice he's looking for.
You seem to be missing the actual point of my post.
It wasn't my argument at all. It's yours. I simply substituted the nouns to illustrate how your "argument" didn't make any sense.
Lol here, I'll show you again:
You certainly don't see how yours is.
If you're just going to deflect, why even post?
I'm not deflecting, you're derailing, there's a difference.
