*The* Gamer's wife/girlfriend Support Thread.

Im an ex wife!

I used to wake up every saturday morning to my bf shouting about COD in the next room ¬_¬ To be fair to him he did try not play when I was there but then when I said it was fine he was on it all the time.

When he was doing that Id read haha :] But I can imagine living with it would get bloody annoying quickly!x

[BridgesAndBalloons]

I find it can be annoying when my partner is totally engrossed in something he's doing something in a game, or when he's talking to other players and I'm trying to talk to him about something I feel is important. But that doesn't happen too often.

But I assume it's as annoying for him when I get totally engrossed in something and don't really pay attention to what's going on around me.

I find it amusing when he's really into doing something on a game, and he leans forward, takes a sharp intake of breath and then there's a flurry of mouse clicks. He kept doing it on some zombie game he was playing, I found it quite funny, but then he couldn't concentrate on what he was doing because I was laughing at him :)

Oh, Liv.

The shouting at games can be so funny. Sometimes I find it amusing actually, when he invites friends over, so it's 3 dudes in my apartment playing world of warcraft shouting all sorts of funny, yet obscene things.

[Childerbeast]

I like it when he plays COD with his young cousin n has to curb the language lol

[Heaven Knows]

I walked into our living room once to find my boyfriend shouting 'your mum' jokes at the game...not through a headset; just at the screen...^.^ lol!

[shadow-light]

he partner looked at this thread last night and the first thing he noticed was the "would you kindly" in someone signature lol, can't remember who it was now though...

[sajhfuahuefghaeg]

MINE.

I changed it, sorry :P

I love Bioshock.

[Childerbeast]

Bioshock is prolly the only game i can get into, actually excited for the new one :)

Hey can anyone ask their gamer husbands (Or wives/partners etc) , on behalf of my gamer husband how the eff to get 'simul view' on the new playstation tv to work (In case someone decided to get one of them and managed to work it out when my hubby couldn't :) )

[FabulousMike]

Not a fan of Bioshock, at the moment i'm all about RAGE.

[Lilyyy]

COD seems to be the worst one...How can you have fun playing a game, if all you do is shouting at the screen?

Meh...I don't understand. :(

[staceyrawrcakes]

I always shout at the screen. More out of frustration than anything else haha

[FabulousMike]

Shouting at the screen is what a lot of people do i think, i know i do it a LOT.

[staceyrawrcakes]

Mine's mostly when I'm playing Assassin's Creed and everyone is walking in my way. I think I shout a little more than I should do but I'm just so into it and getting carried away with what I'm doing haha

[shadow-light]

my partner bought saints row the other day and is now playing it constantly despite having exams coming up that he should be revising for

[Childerbeast]

Saints row is funny to watch - not so much for the should be revising crowd tho! lol

[shadow-light]

it's insane... none of it even seems to make sense lol

[NoAngel]

i thought i was the only one who sat and watched games.... ive tried to join in with games like harry potter etc

[Pictsie]

I find it hard to enjoy watching someone else play for more than a few minutes, just get bored of it n end up doing something else

[shadow-light]

it depends on the game, some have more interesting plots than others

[Childerbeast]

I have a laptop - gives me something to do whilst he's killing things :) Plus when hes like LOOK LOOK! LOOK WHAT I DID! i can glance up n be like uhuh very nice honey XD
