Here is an interesting article from on of Yahoo's video game reporters/writers. Though I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, most girls I do date do not play video games. For those of you who have spouses or girlfriends who do not play *cough* turth, you may want to share this. Either way I found this article funny and think it was a nice read.

 

"if they call you a "n00b," it might be time to think about kicking them to the curb."

These shoes rule. These

These shoes rule. These shoes suck.

I love ALL of those things

Salus — Mon, 03/24/2008 - 08:13

I love ALL of those things (OK, maybe minus candles) and like WoW and am not a girl. So there.

 

(Karli - Stacey & Clint are amazing. I love how they dress up full figured women and are always like, "LOOK at that chest! Take a button down and show it off!" Then Stacey let's out a huge "SHUT UP!" and I squeal with glee.)

have to agree $15 is a hell

casecold — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 21:29

have to agree $15 is a hell of alot cheaper then a night on the town. someone once told me to try pot i responded thats 20 bucks i wont spend on wow.

clown puncher.

For me , WoW costs what, $15

Mashedtater — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 14:43

For me , WoW costs what, $15 a month?  Versus a night on the town or a trip to the mall where I find myself $100 poorer and probably with nothing to show for it but heartburn and a hangover.

Hell, I have all of those

Karli — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 14:28

Hell, I have all of those AWESOME habbits and still manage to get my fair chunk of gaming time in =).

What Not to Wear....dear god I miss TLC.

I'm sure that Kati & Karli

Cisper — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 14:13

I'm sure that Kati & Karli will be with me on this one. Grey's Anatomy fucking rocks and how dare you speak otherwise.

Shoes, I don't go particularly shopping for shoes, but I do have about two-dozen pairs.

Furniture, some people just don't like sitting on boxes.

Candles, they make things that men stink up, smell nice.

Decorating, eh, can't be fucked doing this one so ionno.

Barqz — Mon, 03/17/2008 - 13:56

/AGREE TO GARRETH.  Its wrong for us to play a game, but its okay to sit there and have to painfully spend time with a girl while she watches her trifel soap operas...no justice

I love how non-gaming women

garreth — Mon, 03/17/2008 - 13:47

I love how non-gaming women assume that a gaming guy in the relationship is an aberration that needs to be "fixed".  When, in fact, women have just as many odd, annoying, addictive and crippling behaviors of their own that men just take as a given.

In other words:

Guy gaming = make him stop immediately because it's bad

Girls buying shoes, candles, decorating bullshit, furniture, hours of Gilmore Girls/Grey's Anatomy/HGTV, constant demanding of cuddles and "us time" = totally ok and is the "right thing"

7. If you can't beat 'em...LoL...a very familiar option to a bunch o' guildies!

I am just typing a lot of useless rambling so that what I am about to write is not on the front page

 #7 is why Spek started to play... I am getting better. It started with Starcraft when we were dating. Couldn't get her to try the shooters.
