The title of this article is almost a lie, because no dad is a gamer, well any dad that you don't know what their favorite game is and the perfect Father's Day Gift (hint: loot, game cards, or a wonderful tie). There are some who do game, but you know what, if you're buying a gaming dad a Father's Day gaming item, then he probably already has told you what he wants, assuming you're one of the few people on this planet who bless their father with a gift on Father's Day, considering you already paid dearly for the amazing Mother's Day gift out of your -124 dollars in disposable income. 

However, looking through some electronic site advertisements, there are some fantastic suggestions for both gaming and non-gaming gifts that I think your dad will enjoy. Here they are. 

An iPhone 

Honestly, you could do so much worse, if you give him an iPhone then he's going to always use it and always call you about how it works and complain about if it's good or not or if he could do better. The regret, instantly, when you realize you somehow have to pay for his plan on it for a long while because you needed the carrier to finance or subsidize the phone will only be painful until this fall when the new iPhone 6s arrives and your dad is carrying about 2000 and late technology.  

Realistically though, you want your dad to be able to Facetime with you. The entire 1/2 of a time you're going to Facetime with him. You'll probably never actually do it or he's going to want to do it at the worst times, like during a one night stand that you accidentally accept the request on and he sees another girl awkwardly beside you, thinking that you've finally found the new one, bringing the awkward dad talks into your life in a way you never imagined before. 

Truly this is the absolute best gift you could ever give your dad. 

A Racing eSports Chair 

These things are boss, your dad is probably going to love it. It's super uncomfortable and nearly bankrupted you, even with their awesome Father's Day sale on eSport chairs, because dad deserves the best. The last time your dad played a video game was in 1984 when he won high score on a Pac-Man machine at the local laundry mat and a few times he picked up your Playstation 1 to complain about how many buttons it had (a total of 0 extra than most arcade machines at the time).  

He's going to hop in and spin around on it, making vrrm vrrm sounds as you contemplate what drove you to purchase your dad such an amazing gift. You'll wonder too, when somehow the next time you visit, the racing chair is gone and instead replaced by his other chair, because your racing chair agitated his herniated disc and he doesn't know what an ESL is, even after your long explanation over dinner as your mother stared you down for talking about things no one there wanted to hear about. 

World of Warcraft 

Your favorite thing in the world to give your dad are gifts he can't use, because you're obviously still reading with intent to purchase something on this list and haven't found that it's a giant ruse to rail against stupid father's day gifts, but why not load your dad up with WoW? This is going to play out in two awesome ways: the first is that you're going to have to suffer, as in literally suffer, through your dad asking a million questions on how to play the game because for some reason or another he feels obligated to attempt to get through the overly complicated process to install and launch a game w/ pre-skool style instructions provided everywhere, while managing the finances of a company in 200 distinct Excel spreadsheets using programing skills you've never seen to run 1,000s of formulas to determine the stats of everything. 

That or he's never going to play it and you'll have wasted the time. Oh and have fun with the subscription, that's going to be the best part of it all. 

An Xbox or Playstation 4 

What better way to introduce your dad to your callsign that's too naughty for me to repeat here than hooking up a next-gen Netflix player to his television. You'll talk endlessly about the fun you and him will have playing various games that you had bonded over as a child except in three console generations later. Sure when you were little and Goldeneye got hard, he came in and rescued the level, but the odds of Call of Duty popping up aren't going to happen. 

What will happen instead is that your dad and mom are going to load up Netflix on the console and use it exclusively for that, except now they know when you're home when your gamertag comes online and will be calling you 200 times more to fix their Netflix because their Internet was out and you can somehow magically fix this issue from a phone call that ends "oh there it goes, we'll call you back later" and they never do. 

Anything Here 

These are all fantastic options for your dad. Nothing says man up like a big 'ol bottle of Father's Day sale Testosterone pills. The adhesive chalkboard will work wonders to write down the router's password because somehow the Xbox is going to require that password 200 times a week in order for Netflix to function correctly. The teapot is a great way for dad to cozy up with an awesome tea party, after he pops a few testosterone pills and layers on some old spice. Awww yeah. 

I hope you have some more cogs in your head moving with these amazingly fantastic gift ideas. If you need any additional ideas, I suggest asking, because most dads I know probably find more value in the fact that you care enough to ask than the actual gift. Otherwise, I think the eSports gaming chair is a lock.
