Great for the Wife

[Sir Robin]

My wife used to hate my computer games.

She always knew that when I was playing my games I was not going to give her attention.

That has now changed.

UV has become the official "backrub" game of our marriage.

As I watch my "elite" pilots happily blow away a destroyer while ignoring the carrier next to it. Witness dozens of torpedoes miss "napping" cruisers. Even the rare cruiser-carrier night engagement where all I touch the Yorktown with is one 5-inch shell, the wife enjoys a serious backrub.

As the basement computer room echos with, "What?! When was your last eye exam!?! Aim for the big floating flat thingy, not the armed canoe!!!" I release my need to strangle someone by reorganizing my wife's spine.

So she happily ignores everything I am saying, reads a book, and gets hour-long backrubs for free.

Not since Panzer General during my previous marriage has my spouse been able to get backrubs without giving her hubby something in return.:rolleyes:

So on behalf of myself and my spouse, thank you Matrix Games.

Now for my next rant. Anyone ever make a WWII version of Jane's Fleet Command? I don't play it much anymore but always enjoy watching my ships, planes, missiles, and torpedoes.

My Lottery Ticket type wish from me is a game that combines elements of Jane's Fleet Command, Hearts of Iron, Gary Grigsby's PacWar, and Uncommon Valor.

I'll get right on it tomorrow when I win.

This may explain all. Did one of those previous backrubs get out of hand?

my girlfriend just rolls her eyes and walks away when the UV time comes.

Sigh.....some people just dont appreciate what drives a person to want to rule the world. Explosions are a good thing too

Backrubs huh? Oh yeah...I know all about them.

My wife gets the same treatment in between UV turns...BUT she also gets them when I'm flying in Aces High. I'll take off from a field well away from the action in a plane that has alot of gas (usually a P51D), point it in the direction I want to go and then slap on the auto climb.

I have been shot down many times doing this as I am not at my machine...but as I am not a score whore I don't really care. I just re-up again from another field and go back to rubbing her back.

Now...there have been times that my plane has just kept climbing and climbing while things develop "post back rub"...until it runs out of fuel and crashes.

You guys have it all wrong. My wife brings my dinner and a beer at my computer as I'm playing UV.

But come to think of it, maybe she is glad that I'm not bothering her, and she knows I'll be occupied for hours.
