They don't care. They know I can tell the difference between a game and real life.

Mom thinks GTA is vile and should be banned. Fortunately I don't live with her anymore, so feel free to send me a free copy.

Once I proved I was mature enough to handle the graphic content of this genre, they figured I was responsible enough to get any game I wished.

My wife will read a book while I play and sometimes out of nowhere laugh at something someone said or the radio. Why would my wife care if I'm killing in a game? This question is stacked for kids, not the adult audience that GTAIV is for.

When I was a kid, my parents, though very conservative on some things understood that I was a smart enough kid to distinguish reality from fantasy, and they were pretty liberal about the games and movies I was allowed to watch..

My parents actually enjoy playing some videogames, but the violence really turns them off. They don't seem to mind *me* playing violent games though.

My girlfriends fine with all the violence in the games, it's when I rip the sofa arm by slamming the contoller into it that she's not so keen about. Poor sofa arm..

The wife hates violence and sex in games and doesn't like it when I play them. I'm lucky though because she works 12 hour shifts on the weekend, so I get a lot of good playtime in anyway. That's my little secret, so let's just keep that between us (oh, and the rest of the internet).

I don't let my wife see it, because if she did then I probably wouldn't get to play it anymore. Yes... my balls were cut off long ago.

It's more that the parental units don't much like video games in general. They don't get their knickers in a twist over the violence, just the games themselves. That said, they'd probably not appreciate the chainsaw gun... >_>

My parents never cared about what games I played. They were the ones that bought me Mortal Kombat when I was in Elementary School. Video games are something they probably wish I would stop playing but they never cared beyond just wishing that.

I keep getting told that "Mennonites" (My family's religion by heritage) wouldn't approve of me playing this video game. Screw that.

Then I turned 18 and they trusted me enough to make my own decisions about the games I play.
