As we know, most of the you on this forum are below the "legal" age of buying mature games. This was posted by "Rocktimus Prime" on the xbox.com forums for getting your parents to buy you that new mature game coming out that you have to have.
It was originally posted for Gears of War that is coming out but you can substitute any game (or actually anything) that you want them to buy for you.
I, in no way what-so-ever, take credit for writing the following post.
Step 1, Give your Parents some love:
Since after all they probably will be buying the game for you, or at least be supplying the allowance that you are going to spend on it. Throw out a few extra hugs before bed time, or an I love you. Make sure that you do this not too often, fake love is easy to see through as well can lead to parental suspicion. Also, be sure to keep this affection going throughout the week if you do or don't get the game on launch day. Love = Games = Fun = GOW
Step 2, Act like your only "intrested,":
Parent's love to see thier kids smile, but they also love to rain on your parade. So next time you see a GOW commercial, or 360 commercial, don't scream out OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT!!!!ONEOONEOENE, instead just relax, take a deep breath and say, "neat what they can do with technology," then follow up with "Dad/Mom, did you ever imagine technology becoming so advanced?" Parents love when they can yap on about when they were kids, and if you can survive a 30 minute talk about how they didn't have calculators to do math on, your one step closer to GOW.
Step 3, GOW is rated Mature, and you should be to:
GOW is rated M because the ERSB expects players to understand the games Violence and Language are for entertainment, not re-creating. Maturity is a gift, and shows that you have learned much in your life, so now is a good time to act mature. Ask to help around the house, wash the dishes and no matter how bad your Mom's roast beef is, you perk up and say "Mom you really know how to handle meat!" Another great act of maturity is to get up for school on your own, don't have Mommy pull the cover off you. Get up and serve yourself breakfest and then act like your really excited to go learn your ABC's and 123's. Also find out your parents political affliation, and express intrest, even if your Dad is a crazy libertarian.
Step 4, Know the Issues:
You know that GOW is violent, and features weapons. Weapons are scary to parents, because they don't want to find you planning Columbine 2 as you strap a chainsaw onto your bb gun. So know what's controversial. Look up some Gun Control websites, and learn the facts. Of course you want to go with the side limiting guns, but its all an act, just act like you care. When you see Violence on primetime tv, tell your parents "it's sad how misled some children are, that this behavoir is acceptable." Then follow up with "violence adds depth and drama, but it is not something to recreate outside of entertainment." Well look at you, now your Perky and Punctual! GOW is just a Step Away!
Step 5, The Release:
This is it the release! You know the game is coming out, and you may have to wait a day or two after release, but your hard work will pay off. Have a family discussion with your parents. Let them know you are intersted in the game, but that you want them to know it is rated Mature. Let them know that your are mature, and that you understand the content in the game is pure entertainment. Tell them that you do not need an immediate decision, and that you love them no matter what they choose to do, then hug your mom and say I love you make sure make this hug last extra long, as if the longer the hug the more meaningful your charade is.
Ok now the bullshit is over. Go into thier rooms, snoop around and find some inciminating evidence. Porn, Condoms, Alchohal, Credit Card recipts, anything that could pit one parent against the other. If they say no, wait till you can corner one parent alone. Tell one that you have evidence that the other would not like to find, and thier only option of keeping this secret is through GOW. Now you've got your parents by the balls, time to ram the foot home! When you end up at the store, get your reserve for Halo 3 legendary, and then tell your parent that you have some more evidence (that you really dont) and you'd hate to have to release it....unless you get Rainbow Six Vegas and COD3.
When you get home, Release the evidence anyway, causing your family's destruction and bask in the glory of being spoiled by your parents fighting for your affection.
The End. Enjoy GOW!
