Hello everyone, my name is Craig, and I've been a videogamer for a little under 30 years.

In that time, I've ran into many people - parents, grandparents and sundry other confused relatives - who just don't 'get' video games. They find it hard to understand that, even at the age of 34, I still play video games, and find it hard to understand that not every game is a murder simulator.

Time and again, I've found myself answering questions and dishing out advice - why, for example, it's not OK to buy Grand Theft Auto for Little Timmy's 6th birthday.

So, I thought I might offer some advice on a wider scale, and open up this thread to questions from some of the many confused parents, grandparents and sundry other relatives who find themselves drifting onto the MSE forums.

Ask away - ask anything, and I'll try to help.

Nice idea, if a tad egotistical and mildly patronising, but maybe better in a section of the forum which isn't gaming orientated (i.e. we probably know what we're talking about).
