Another reason for my wife to go quiet on me....

[HamishUK 0]

Yeah thanks to the people who posted pics of this game I read a review in a magazine. Checked out the screenshots and that convinced me enough to buy the game.

"Another game!" my wife declares.

I have now had the silent treatment for 2 days.

So thanks 'screenshot' guys....wife hates me now....

Got my copy a couple days ago. Spent the last two days working on missions. Wife not happy; had to placate her...if you know what I mean...

[LtJamesWatts 0]

Haha, know the feeling guys.

She still asks me now and then "how the hell can you enjoy playing a game".

Can't complain in the end though, because she knows that taking this away from me will make me very unhappy

It's more the "why do men like violent games?" question I get thrown at me.

[max power 21]

" 'cuz they're violent! Now shaddap before you get five across the eyes!"

I like my humour like I like my coffee!

Bought the missis another pc to shut her up!!!

Had a massive row with her thursday night!! she actually had my pc in her hands threatening to throw it!!!

if she had -i wouldnt be here posting now!

and i dont mean cause the pc was broke!!!

so yeah pc games do make ppl violent!

I'm sure the misses would prefer me to be playing computer games than having an affair....

Hang on, I don't need to justify playing ArmA!

there are some girls/women who enjoy these types of games too, they are rare but if you have one, you are one lucky bugger lol, could always try to convince them its educational in some level, or perhaps "i have to play it cus its work related"

[icebreakr 3159]

The only way for me (as I see it) is to tell her that i switched to "this engine" and I must make multiplayer missions for them ehh kiddin', i have one day per week reserved only for ArmA

[ck-claw 1]

Damn better not let mine see that last post!!!

i aint got one day a week reserved for her!!!

eep.. 1 day per week?!

how can you live with only 1 day per week! i admire you, plz teach me..

[froggyluv 2136]

My girl (of 6 years) actually likes that I spend so much time in virtual land. Calls me 'geek squad'. See i live on a tropical island with lots of bikinis running around so she appreciates my err... reformed behavior

Hint- take care of her 'needs' before you plan a long session

[LtJamesWatts 0]

What island might that be?

Think that's the island that could make me forget about Arma, J/K guys, I love my wife too much for that

[maxqubit 1]

After many years the gaming hobby of me and the dislike of gaming of my wife established some kind of DMZ, a stalemate if you like.

But things are shifting thanks to my kids (4 and 8). They both enjoy the occasional XLA demo's of 360 (Frogger, Pacman and even full blown games like Burnout)

So it seems to become a 3 vs 1 affair:)

[thr0tt 12]

My wife calls herself a PC widow.

Now, time is scarce, can only play 3-4 eve's a week, we have to make 'quality' time and watch TV, I mean how is that quality time ? Still, always got the laptop on so I can 'watch tv' with her while surfing...

Works for me

I had this happen back in the day (Duke 3d, Descent 1). I achieved my long term goal of getting the wifey addicted to gaming as well - no problems now

Lucky bugger, wish it was that way for me, but i cant complain anyways, I'm single again.

[lone.wolf 80]

Hi guys, my wife like that i play games, it keeps me in the house not out running with the single friends...

And i have a understandment that i only use 4-5 hours a day, and most have to been when my two daughters(twins) are put to bed in night...    

So i cant complain much  

[karantan 0]

So i cant complain much  

Same here. But I'm apsolutely giving an advantage to the family life and its obligations over the game's playing (so I'm always on a tight with a (free) time for it), so in return I have an understanding and loving    wife; heck, I'm even receiving a pc games from her as gifts.

I have now had the silent treatment for 2 days.

2 whole days to enjoy ArmA in total peace and quiet without interuption? Sheer bliss! You should be gratefull to the screenshot guys.

Cheers,

Stewart

Ah your wives have obviously never played ArmA...

Who could resist such a brilliant game? :P

(Play it in a window and religiously learn to use ALT + Tab and have Word open in another window )

[mchide 0]

I have to play it... every kid needs a toy.All the time i buy barbies to my girls, hmm and what i give to my wife , and understanding.Guys you need to help your wifes and than you will have peace around your PCs...

[Varry 0]

I defend myself by telling her; would you rather want a man that spends his time at the pub getting drunk, go watch the footie on sundays, ending at the pub again and not going home before having a fight (at tha same pub, or another).

I le you guess wha the answer is...

[ck-claw 1]

hey i have the best of both worlds!!!

permantly pissed at the pc!!!!
