So, I'm going to New York for the weekend. If my mom buys Minecraft for me this weekend, then I get a free gift code! But when I told her, she said I need to get checked for my video game obsession.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to convince her to buy it? I can buy it with my own money - it's only 20 bucks, anyways.

EDIT: My mom says she'll probably buy it, but dad started whining about how Age of Empires has better graphics. If I could hurt my eyes, then I would long ago. I play Pokemon at least 2 hours a day.

SECOND EDIT: Mom looked at the website and thinks it's shady and that it's a scam, and Notch is a hacker and simulated millions of people on millions of websites that like Minecraft. She said that she'll see if the full version is even released -.- I mean, I understand she doesn't want to take risks, but seriously?

THIRD EDIT: Convinced Mom that Minecraft's not a scam, but now she says that I don't need it.

..Either way, she baked cookies today big_smile

Well, it's still not very nice to buy something if your parents don't want you to. ^^"

I just paid my mom with cash and she used her credit card. Problem solved.

08jackt · 2011-08-12 23:47:52

it's your money so really it's your choice what you do with it
say you wanted to buy like a spaceship or something and your mum didn't want you to, and then you crash it into the earth and kill thousands of people, atleast you would have learned to use your money more wisely.

and there's no such thing as video game addiction, that's ridicolous. that's like saying "ohhhhhh im addicted to food." you're not actually addicted to food your just a fat forever alone that's going to die before the age of 30 because you're to lazy to exercise.

We don't actually need food, it's really just a drug that the government got us addicted to to take away our independence.

But that's a topic for another thread. CONTINUE.

My dad is a pretty big gamer, so it was fairly easy for me to get MC. In non-video game cases though, I use the method Aidan said: Pay your mom or dad in cash, they buy it with their credit card.
