It's a common event for me to walk into the living room, to find my wife watching "The secret missions Japanese submarines in WW2" or whatever on the History Channel. Definately odd.-F-

2nd favorite caustic remark is her now famous "Are you going to go online again and argue over what was the proper shape of a Zero's fuel tank?"
[:D]
At least she knows what a Zero is....[:)]

Same here. Then I started checking what came on before and found it was often "Mating Rituals of Bull Elephants" or "Endangered Impala's and How They are Being Bred".

This led to unfortunate comments by me and the transmogrification of Wife Mk III into Inflamed Gorgon Mk XXX.

eh....that would be....."no"
(and she only viewed Cobra's art thread with disdain...i believe the comment went along the lines of...."these nerds need to get lives")

Just like a woman: every moment of joy tempered with a snide remark. [:@]
At least you can take some comfort that she isn't a switch hitter......
Addendum: Of course..if you're into that, you want to order GF, Series D, part # DYKE101.

My Wife V1.2 has been enhanced with Horse V2.3 and seems to keep well occupied as long as I keep updating with Money V150.00.

My Wife Model 1.0 has no problem with me playing WITP. She spends same ammount of time playing Cutthroat Online Pinochle. I do regularly install and run Flowers 12.0. Seems to make Wife 1.0 run better. I need a few more installations before I can Upgrade Laptop 1.0 to Laptop 2.0.

Remember, you will never get a girl to change, nor will she get you to change, so find someone who matches you and who you match.
this can't be said any better. my first marriage ended mostly due to gaming. when I met my second wife, I made it clear that this was something that would never be changed and everything has been fine ever since.
I'm not sure if I could have been more up front with my first wife, since that goes back almost 20 years and I didn't know I was addicted to gaming back then when things were first starting.

Biggest difference between a Wife and a Wargame is MAINTAINENCE. A wife can provide a lot of comforts and services that a wargame cannot..., but she will call for a great deal more time, effort, and maintainence on your part. A wargame is "satisfaction on demand". It's there when you want it, it doesn't feel ignored or abused if you ignore it for a week, and you can "turn it on" by simply pushing a button.

I play world of warcraft when not playing this one , between turns. Great game.[:D]

Or, just get said girlfriend hooked on gaming! I lucked out...I met my girl in Ultima Online. We used to play counter-strike together and others. She understands that I like those "Why do you play that?" strategy games. When she sees I am playing, she'll just go and play Some World of Warcraft.
But you have to compromise. "If you let me finish out the hour, I promise to come and cuddle with you while you watch Sex in the City" [:)]

Sorry if this is a little too straightforward... [:o]
Note that the title is not 'Humping vs Wargaming'. Most guys still retain caveman era instincts and would answer without any thought ('as usual' interrupts the GF) that humping wins over wargaming,
Ugg. Me like caveman instinct. Me go draw on rock. [:D]

How about this sarcastic remark from an ignored woman: "You geek! Would you rather sink a torpedo into me or keep torpedoing those fake ships?"
The proper response would be "Honey, I like sinking my torpedo into an oil tanker...and I like sinking the ones in the game too" [;)]

My favorite was "you can ride me all the way to the target".
And of course, "don't piss me off, or I just might reset to 'Retirement Allowed'"
