    Yeah my kid doesn't want to do anything and sees it as an opportunity if we go out without him.

    Never had the problem. I grew up in an age when there weren’t any games - you went out with your mates - played footie, whatever.

    My kids were brought up in a semi rural environment. They had their games, but still spent a lot of time outside.

    Which was when?

    You seem to be sneering at people who have problems with games and kids right now.

    If my kid got into Fortnite I’d probably have to put her up for adoption for being a ****ing dork. Her mum will see to it that she hates Xbox anyway.

    It's not a girls thing, my daughter isn't remotely interested in any of it.

    Nor am I, never have been and never will be.

    I find adults who game to be morons to be perfectly honest.

    Depends what they play. @luvgonzo is defo a dork. He has a box of wine on an enema tube into his arse so he can drink and game at the same time.

    You can't ban Apex Legends you horrible parent...

    I like gaming, and I don't give a **** who thinks that's bad. It beats taking drugs... although gaming while on drugs is also fun.

    Certain games have a decent amount of fun in them, but most of the online... ALL of the online stuff is awful, full of weirdos and creeps. Vitamin D deficiency epidemic every summer when the schools break up.

    Yeah, I'm sure it does and I known I'm generalising up to a point.

    This is the premier league board though so why should I be different to everyone else?

    Then you're not effectively banning him. Lock up his controllers, and keyboards and what have you where he can't get them.

    Either that or stick them in the draw with you wife's vibrators... Either solution will keep your son from finding/getting them when banned.

    My girls aren't into fortnite, but one spends hours playing Roblox and the other spends hours video chatting with her classmates.

    I'm not allowed to be within 100 metres of a bottle of wine when playing Pac Man.

    If it was Mrs. PacMan I could understand the court order. A court order from regular Pacman is a.bit deviant, even for me.

    Spent ****ing fortunes on that game. Arcades only, they had one in Subway Records in Southampton, all the teenage kids used to huddle round it for hours.
