My twelve year old brother uses my account. - Games

Buying him a copy for himself sounds like the best idea. Just say it's an early birthday present and you won't even lose too much money. Am I glad that I have my own computers...

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;22869351]Tell your parents "If my brother wants to play this game so bad, why don't he save up money to get it himself." If that does not work, lie and say "Yeah I checked the steam rules and it's forbidden to share your account, I've already recieved a warning.[/QUOTE] It won't work, if you read the OP, his parents seem damn stubborn.

OP buy tf2 on a new account for yourself, and when you want to play something else, log on your shared account. Don't buy your brother a new tf2 copy, because he will obviously still use the copy on your current because he has all his hats there.

Convince your parents that the computer isn't responding and that it's from something your brother tried to do.[/QUOTE] Yeah but what about after his parents are convinced. The buttons still won't work. He's fucked.

I got it! You could say that there is an error in the game and your fixing it, then when he walks away start playing, when he comes back to check open the console and type in random cvars. I did that trick and occupied my 9 year old cousin for about 4 hours.

Tell Parents that he goes on...Idk porn,some website that isn't allowed...

[QUOTE=iLander;22867614]oh my HE CRAFTS WEAPONS HE HATES? Idea. Change your password, Tell him and ur parents that your account got hacked all because of him and his "OOH I WANT MORE GAMES SO I SHALL USE THEES STEAM UNLOCK!111!!" and if that don't work, pretend that you can't login. the next day :dance: :ohdear: :dance:[/QUOTE]

Lay down some bloody rules for him, and explain the reasoning behind the rules to your parents. If their still dicks, read out the eula for steam.

1. Change password again 2. Tell your parents you don't care about it if they ban you away from the computer 3. Explain them that your little brother fucks up everything you had. 4. While you are banned do something else. 5. Tell them that they always can buy another copy, you won't let him to play on yours 6. ??? 7. Profit

Get a steam friend to call himself "STEAM ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION" and his avatar as the steam icon. Make them talk all serious when he's online and say the account is breaching terms of service or some shit. Do some other shit, get his parents to rage etc.

Show him Modern Warfare 2, the kid will be stunned.

1. Tell him to stop it or you'll beat him 2. Make your parents spectate him to be SURE he doesnt mess up ANYTHING 3. Make him another account with tf2 on it (dont clock me) 4. Change your accounts password and say someone hacked into it, play when nobodys watching

[QUOTE=CounterTunes;22870052]Change your accounts password and say someone hacked into it, play when nobodys watching[/QUOTE] It could be a good idea if he would tell it has been hacked and the parents would buy the game for the little kid and then he would tell he just lied so finally they bought that kid a new copy

castrate him

1. Uninstall every steam game he plays regularly on your account (steam cloud will save your shit dont worry) 2. Wait until he loses interest in video games/gets pissed and demands that his parents buy him the games 3. Re-install all your shit ALTERNATIVELY: 1. Unleash the god hand on him 2. Dragon kick his ass into the milky way

They said that they were going to ban me from it for a week fine. after a week, I play it furiously infront of their faces. eventually, I got good at their hiding spots. I'd take it, play it when they werent looking, put it back, and develop tactics on how to do this. I know all the hiding spots for items of all sizes in my house, I know where every squeak is by the inch, I know what can wake up who and when to back off/retreat, basically, study the problem and know your surroundings. Next steam sale, buy it for him. itll be what, $5? no biggie, and you'll have him off your account. Do in it front of them, like at his birthday, or christmas, some kind of gathering, etc. so he knows, and they know, that he has an account with this game and has no need to use yours.

1. Change your password. 2. Tell your brother first that your account has been hacked and try to get the password back with him. Like, show him fake Valve emails about you trying to retrieve the accounts. xD 3. Tell your parents, because if your brother does that first it will make it seem your brother cares about the account more. 4. Wait until your brother gives up and asks your parents to buy another Team Fortress 2 copy. 5. Change the password back and tell them Valve recovered it.

[QUOTE=PopLot;22869415]Yeah but what about after his parents are convinced. The buttons still won't work. He's fucked.[/QUOTE] He can re-enable the desktop icons, it's real easy. :downs:

[QUOTE=iLander;22867948]no way, it's a waste of your money, even if it was for 99% discount. ask him to get his own copy. with his own money.[/QUOTE] Grammar, the hardest thing to use since the smartness feature was removed.

I mean, this sounds like it could work.

[QUOTE=kill3r;22870432]You know where every squeak is by an inch? What?[/QUOTE] floors squeak when you step on certain places (usually)

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;22865749]Sacrifice your brother to Chet.[/QUOTE] Blood for the blood god! no, wait, Blood for the Valve god!

[QUOTE=Hackintosh;22865768]Buy him his own copy when its on sale.[/QUOTE] This or also you can tell your parents that the account is yours and you have your own items there. Tell your parents that motherfucker delete your own items to his own benefit.

Assuming it's yours: Tell your parents that sharing the account is against steam TOS and that you could potentially be VAC banned from TF2 making it so you cannot play the game on all legitimate servers. [i]Say that he can register an account for free, in 3 simple steps on [url]www.steampowered.com[/url], where he can have the games he wants purchased to his own account, in which means that you two could potentially play the game together, since the steam client will not let two computers logged into steam at the same time.[/i] Assuming your parents bought the game for both of you: Explain that your brother is being a giant dick removing all the cool weapons you earn because he's using the ingame function to get shitty hats, and you had to work hard for the achievements to unlock those weapons. Say that your brother doesn't fucking care about you, yet you have to care about him to grin and bear while he practically erases all the effort you spent into a game. Explain to them it's practically the same if you got on the game he spent hours on, and deleted the save file, so he would have to start over from the beginning. And that you do that constantly, just because you like the title screen that shows the beginning level instead of the one he's currently on.

Get him to play Runescape or something.

OP, how old are you?

[QUOTE=ShnitzelKiller;22865664]It really pisses me off. Every time I log on and change the password, my parents threaten to ban me from the game until I give in and tell my 12 year old brother what it is again. They feel it's so unfair that I can play and he can't, even though the game is rated M and everyone hates twelve year olds, especially when they use microphones. He saw a tutorial on the web on how to noclip and fucked with the files in the team fortress folder, he crafted all the items he thinks are useless (as in he can't use them well, i.e. the huntsman) into HATS, and I can't stop him. Being a little kid, telling him not to do things makes him defiant, or he tantrums and threatens to intentionally get me banned (the cause of my first password change). What's more, he spends all of his time on an all-crits Mario Kart server. He has to have everything that I have, and I lose everything that he fucks up. Is there any magical steam feature I haven't heard of that might divide the game's user-specific content between two people using the same account?[/QUOTE] Tell the little brat to buy his own, TF2 is cheap as hell right now. Also, enjoy your VAC Ban if he cheated online.

Tell your folks its rated m and steam isnt for kids

Get an account for him and get tf2 whens it's discounted for said account. Then, he'll hopefully stop bothering you.

[QUOTE=DeandreT;22870042]Show him Modern Warfare 2, the kid will be stunned.[/QUOTE] Please no.
