Skyrim vs. Girlfriend/Boyfriend; a new perspective : Othor Games

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:07 am

As a single man I had a long talk with my significant other, myself, and it turns out I'm cool with letting myself play Skyrim all weekend next week. To make it up to myself I think I'll do something nice for me with my ample free time and disposable income.

As a self-sufficient advlt the idea of another person in my house telling me that I can't play video games over the weekend, or distributing game-time to me like a parent, is inconceivable to me. How can some of you live like that? Where's your dignity?

Amen to that. The problem is that it is hard to find someone who can understand what us gamers go through, so you need a gamer 'significant other' to get both the satisfaction of a lot of gametime and someone to mack on (and as a bonus someone to nerd out with).

Agreed. I'll be playing Skyrim well into the early hours of every morning until I go to bed alone and hug my duvet.

Those losers.

I'll be playing so many hours that I might die like the WOW Chinese gold farmers.

yah I saw myself in a mirror and I end up sleeping with myself

I just can't have a [censored] conversation with myself

Need something to hug before bed? Get a dog. Even people who are deathly afraid of being alone for even 5 minutes have better options.

I never understand how some guys ignore their girlfriends and just play games. There's a balance to maintain man... a ying and a yang. Yeah, play your games, but show your woman some love man. Cause if you don't give her the attention she wants, a very single nice-guy like myself is gonna give her the attention she deserves.

Or when your girl goes out and runs into that sixy musician (me) she might just not come back home. And you wont even notice.

My current gf and I met at a bar bc her bf at the time wasnt there to guard his turf. He preferred to sit at home watching MANswers. They fought, she went out anyways, and came back to my place.

You make it sound like such a chore. If the girl wants a relationship where the 2 of you are fused together 24/7 and you don't then it's time to move on. The girl can go find a hopelessly needy guy to satiate her horrible co-dependence and the guy can go on enjoying his life. You spend as much time with her as you want; not as much time as she wants.

So instead of breaking up with him she cheats on him? Sounds like a real piece of work, and an easy one to boot. I think you did that guy a favor taking her off his hands.

I hope the OP is a troll because seriously if he isn't.... something is wrong with our society.

Lol. Its about compromise. You give up things and so does she. But if my girl takes the weekend off to go on a trip with me like another guy on here then yeah, ima ditch skyrim

Oh and btw, i know your looking for a reaction to you dissin my girl, but some random guy on the interwebs just doesnt get me riled up. And yeah, i did do the guy a favor. Ive seen the guy and theres no way he could have handled a hottie like her for any period of time.

I'm definitely no troll, so why don't you elaborate on what ways I'm wrong.

If you want to go on the trip more than you want to play Skyrim that weekend that's fine. If you don't then why torture yourself with a trip you have no interest in? Spend the time you want to spend with her. Don't force it because you think you have to.

Brb. Getting laid without having to work for it.

There's plenty wrong with society. :brokencomputer:

so my last gf dumped me cuz of my gaming. Its not like i didnt spend time with her....i just gamed when there was nothing else going on. guess she always wanted to be the center of attention. [censored] that.
I have been single now for the last 2 years and lovin it. no girl = uninterrupted gamez timez and alot more $$ in your pocket. A girl needs to like me for who i am. and i am a gamer. so deal with it.

Lol i dont know whos word carries more weight... A guy who hasnt been single for more than a few weeks at a time since he started dating in 7th grade (me), or the guy who is chronically single and takes time off of work to play a video game (you).

Such a toughie. Its almost like Ross telling Joey how to pick up girls.

Nah man. It wouldn't have enough space in my house and none of my family have time to look after one properly. Duvet's fine.

How can some of you live like that?

six.

My girl is a gamer and is getting Skyrim. (She is a TES gamer like me.) I recently found out. So we've both agreed to not talk to each other for at least a week.

I believe my wife is quite happy that I prefer games to girlfriends

Lold so hard at this

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:07 pm

Yeah I asked myself if it was OK, turns out myself likes skyrim too.
Myself can be a little creepy though as he follows me into the bathroom and stuff, but he's great most of the time.
