Why are you playing violent video games again? You're grounded, no more computer for a week.

Why are you playing sports games? Why don't you go outside and play sports for real? You don't have anyone to play them with? How come when there's so many kids outside. They're bullying you? Just suck it up, be a better man, ignore them and they will go away. Anyway, I told you not to play this, get it off the computer. Speaking of which, no more computer for you for a week.
>Playing Black & White

There always is. You can't use the computer until you study.
>"Study", return after several hours, find that he's using the computer
Sorry, I'm working on something very important, you can't use the computer now.
