Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Dads of GAF, can you relate?

That wasn't the premise.

It's funny but my kids are usually the ones that are very competitive about gaming while I'm more about keeping it light.
A couple of weeks ago my son saw me "playing" dark souls and he was really keen on trying it. I was like, 'are you sure you want to do this to yourself?' but he (and my daughter) were both totally on board.
So we played it separately and coop for a bit. He had some trauma moments but the worst was when we got to the gargoyles boss.
He initially died so my daughter and I went into his world to help him get through it. We killed all of the enemies along the way and even summoned Solaire (praise the sun!).
The moment he went through the fog gate, there was a gargoyle right on top, blocking the way and just slashes him right off the cathedral to his death.
It was horrible for him and the worst part was that we had to go somewhere right after, so he had to sit with that dejection for the rest of the day.
Fortunately, we did make it back and he got his vengeance haha. But yeah, the experience right now is that the kids seem the ones driving the gaming fanaticism, not me.

Do people actually relate to that?
A real woman wouldn't put up with a man-child.
Seems like the script was written by someone that doesn't play games, but thinks this is what we do all day.
That being said, I did briefly consider naming my daughter after a game character.

For those that dont get the irony here, Sean, who plays the son, has like 4 kids and is a really good dad.

He should have named his son Sephiroth, what a bad dad and FF7 fan.

He should have named his daughter Aerith.
Wife: Honey I'm home how was your day.
Husband: Aerith died today
