Re: {GATT} Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship

[TriniXaeno]

I have said it before, I'll say it again....

The Sims!!!

It's known as the equalizer in the spousal war of digital enterainment.
Man's greatest weapon in a decidedly meagre arsenal.

If you're unlucky to have your female fall in the 1% that have a natural
resistance to "The Sims" , you're stuck with the other four tools at our
disposal. The Internet (teach her how to use google), Movies (VCD, DVD
or the rips if you're a cheapskate), Music Videos and Mp3s.

Once you have some idea of your significant's other taste in
these....just inundate 'em with an 80gb filled with same and that will
buy you some serious gametime.

Yup

It's even better against males. We are just suckers for digital stuff. You
girls have it so easy. We are so simple to please.

I once had a girl call me up looking for nrop DVDs to buy for her boyfriend.

Damn, he's a lucky man. lol

Having my gf fall in love with a videogame has been an aspiration of mine
since we got together. She just sits there and watches me play
sometimes...it's kinda creepy.

She's a Harry Potter freak, so I got the Quidditch World Cup game as bait
last night.

It backfired.

Now I'm hooked on Quidditch.

And because the game has no multiplayer, it's going to be tough to let go of
the controller when she sees it later this week.


I'll try Sims eventually though. Her computer should be able to handle it
well.

Bookworm Deluxe might work.

Or offer her a copy of "Quiddich through the Ages".
Or even "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them"






So have you beaten your Bludger as yet?

She gets vex when I say this, but she's not a gamer, and she doesn't belong
in sweat.

I really against the idea of forcing my lifestyle on other people. I'm also
against non-gamers in Sweat.

But she's interested in learning how to play a game, so I'll start somewhere
simple. Quidditch Cup or some GBA roms ismc.

I don't know if her interest is genuine, or just the loving gf type of
support. Either way is great, but a sweat is too much too soon.

She genuinely likes Samurai X though...so that's a start in another area I
hadda explore.
