stormcrow Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Can a game bring your relationship ( ooh thats a big word!), almost to a grinding halt? Well, in this case, just about.......... I have used my status as an invalid to take time off work, and of course invest that time into GR...........only one problem......the lady. She seems to be under the crazy idea I'd spend that time with her............phwww They dont get it, how one man can want to play a game all weekend. How a man can be driven to stay online for over 13 hours to play GR with people 6 hours behind *damn timezone...grr.*.......... If only they'd see the beauty of the game, life would be so much easier.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRW_Hotdog Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 i hear ya brother... don't know how many times i have heard "you love that computer more then me" but then she says another day "at least i know where you are everynight, and you're not out getting drunk" (GR=bad addiction anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calius Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Well it could be alot worse ... For example .. playing GR to the point of obsession & buying camo gear, then invest in weapon lessons .. then purchasing a rifle ... then shooting your wife. Hmmmmm ...

Killa_N_Manila Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 This game doesn't have such a firm hold on me that its ruining relationships for me...it did about a year ago though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCrawler Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 This game doesn't have such a firm hold on me that its ruining relationships for me...it did about a year ago though! That's because you're too young for a relationship . I have a very loving and understanding wife, she understands that she will never be able to train me...oops I meant change me.

xG5kdo Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 This is true. As my ex aptly put it (by screaming right on my ears) :" YOU SPEND MORE TIME ON THAT ######ING GAME THAN YOU DO ON MY BED!!" Funny thing is, she refuses to play it. I tried. Oh how I tried. But she refused for some reason. So...I got smoked, big time, everytime she invited me to come over and I said," Well, sorry babe, but we're on a mission here, and never shall I leave my comrades behind." Eh. I'm single again now though. So it's ok now...everything's back to normal. Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Recon Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 OK guys...let me tell you from a lady's point of view. Well I myself have given Ruin my little speech about spending to much time on the computer. Always going to GR. But I understand alot more now that he has explained it to me. He has repeatedly told me that its like a job to him and that its his responsibility as a staff member to checkup most of the day. He has played the game several times when i was at his house when we didn't really have much time left together. Such as the other day, he was playing with his buddies when he supposed to be cleaning his room. But we had made a deal that he would play a few rounds and then clean his room so he could spend the night over at my house. Well I guess I didn't get mad that time because I got to play. And it was great I absolutley loved killing the people. I especially liked killing tyovan I got him several times . anyway.....back to the point, girls like to be held and like to be around you guys most of the time. They probably dont like just sitting there and watching you guys play the whole time that she's there. Yes girls like spending time with you mature, nice, and interesting guys...... wether you like it or not. So my suggestion is to you guys that have girls that get mad at you when you play is that 1)At least try to spend time with her 2)If she's there and you're playing the game absolutley try and get them to play so they can have some fun too. (I'm sure other girls would like to kill people too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 (I'm sure other girls would like to kill people too.) No, I think you're just vicious like that. JK Interesting Speech... don't know how many times i have heard "you love that computer more then me" Lol! Neither do I! she understands that she will never be able to train me...oops I meant change me. Lol... I'm going to plead the 5th on this one. Anyway, just don't let GR run your life. Then it'll hurt you. And inspite of everything she says, she knows she ALWAYS comes first, no matter what. And that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
