There is no way that I could handle the whole 'stand under a freezing waterfall' thing. But otherwise, I'd like to become a spirit medium too. Though I don't think my parents would support me in that either.

Also, imagine all the stress you'd have to go through. Definitely not my kind of job, even being a big fan of this series.
U can´t say such things in general about every pw fan who wants to become a lawyer
For me it was an idea I considered, I looked into the job and I was at Trials a few times.From those expressions do I know that I wanna become one

To each his/her own opinion. I'm just saying that anybody who has only played the games and has no other experience in Law shouldn't instantly assume that being a lawyer is all exciting.

I agree with this. Some people I know actually believe that being a lawyer is like what Phoenix and Co. do, and are completely ignorant of everything else in the world of law.
The reason I want to be a lawyer is because it's an occupation that fits my personality, its something I'm interested in and my parents still think that me wanting to be a palaeontologist is still a phase.

On topic now, I've explained my mum - in short - what the game is about. So when I say 'objection' she kinda knows where it comes from. I think she would even like the game, but she's never going to play it. For various reasons, one being that she wouldn't know how to turn on a nintendo ds. And my sister doesn't like thinking much, so she gave up fast. My bf is doing great though, and he's steadily becoming a fan. Yay!

2) Whenever I talk about AA, I'd be asked why the heck I just didn't become a lawyer since I'd supposedly make a good one.
3) My grandma tells me to leave the room whenever I cry "Objection!", whether I'm playing or not. So I yell it in five other languages since she can't understand (and since they do work on the DS.)

He really liked it and was very sharp! He solved all the contradictions like that!
XD the first time he had to object I held Y and told him "Say "PROTESTO"
"What do you mean?" He said
"Just say it"
"PROTESTO" *Phoenix yells "Protesto in the game"
he was like "WTF This thing is awesome"

i was browsing here one when my dad came in. I have this habit of closing the window when someone comes in. I like my privacy. But he made open the window. I was looking at a movie poster edited with Phoenix Wright characters I was like "Oh, someone edited a High School Musical poster with some characters from a game I like, that just happens to feature lawyers". I don't think he cared xD.
That is SO something that would happen to me.
Except I've learned that even if what I'm looking at is bad (even though usually I'm not), not to close the window. I scroll down or change tabs. It's much less suspicious.
That happens to me all the time too. I usually just scroll down, change tabs, or go to my homepage (google) and pretend to look up something. Then of course sometimes I'm not paying attention and my parents come in before I can change the screen, and then they start staring at whatever I'm looking at (Be nice if they could at least make it less obvious! Me and my stupid paranoia issues...). Last time that happened to me my dad came in and saw me on this site and he said "Oh that's for that...um Phoenix Wright was it?"
Then some other time I tried to explain 2-4 to him for some reason. I don't think he was able to follow it though...
Meh. Maybe some day my dad will play this game (At least he supports me playing the games though)

mum: why isnt your work here?
me: becuase my work is complete crap
dad: yeah but if you ask her to draw anything from Phoenix Wright, it come out beautiful! (which it doesnt BTW)
art teacher: *gives me a questioning look*
That was pretty much the first time I realised that I talked about it so much that even my dad remembered the name of the game. He also says stuff like "If you asked her to write an essay on Phoenix Wright she would get top marks!"

Ever since it came out for the Wii, we've been buying and playing the games together. It's a lot of fun.
After we bought and I beat AAI, my mother started playing it. She enjoys it a lot.
My mom and dad like to imitate some of the character's "objections" and their movements. It's hilarious.
It usually turns out with something like this:
Dad: *in deep, scary, Von Karma voice* Objection! *does Manfried Von Karma finger wag and tisk*
Me: Oh wow dad...seriously...

Later, my father saw me playing the same part and he said "Hey, this one look like your godfather"
And one of my friend once asked "Who's the pimp?" when talking about Redd White.
When my step-mother saw Gumshoe, she said "Hey, he's cute! He look like your father!"

She does know about the fanfiction, though, and thanks to her overhearing some conversations, she knows about slash. Thankfully her internet use is limited to email because there is no way on EARTH I could adequately explain the fandom to her if she found it.
The real surprise is my partner: I got him into playing the games after he'd seen me obsessing for several months, he's currently at the end of T&T and knows a lot about the fandom. It amused me that whilst playing the first one, he went, "I can see why all you people write Phoenix/Miles." I think he's got a bit of a crush on Mia.
My kids know about it, but they're too young for it (there's too much reading and the logic puzzles are a bit beyond them). My eight year old saw my phone and announced rather matter-of-factly that "You have Phoenix Wright on your phone and they're kissing." :) My younger son, who's four, has asked if he can play it and I've told him when he's a bit older.
My sister thinks I'm a pervert and a weirdo and that anything Japanese is kinky and bizarre and creepy, so it's no surprise that she's quite blunt about not being interested.

My grandma liked it. My parents don't know anything about Ace Attorney, but I set my phone to shout OBJECTION! whenever I get a text message and my dad thinks it's hilarious.
My phone has Edgeworth's OBJECTION whenever I get a text and Phoenix's OBJECTION for other stuff.
My parents just echo the objection when they hear it.
Or they'll just tell me, "Your phone objected you."
