SteveT posted at 18/11/2008 14:56:   Not played it but have played another MMORPG game... and I prefer the title geek as opposed to nerd... anywho, if he's anything like me when it comes to games then will probably do little to distract him, even if ya did tear him away, might still play on his mind until he gets whatever done :P ... should count yourself lucky, I actually roped my ex in to playing as well.

mr-ivo posted at 18/11/2008 15:11:   what the fuck is he doing playing warcraft when he could be playing with lozzie!!!

mr-ivo posted at 18/11/2008 15:12:   next time he wants anything off you (i.e kiss, cuddle, sex lol) just tell him you are busy doing a study-a-thon for the next few days and see how he likes it!

SteveT posted at 18/11/2008 15:14:   True, I guess it's the lesser of two evils, being ignored or being pestered to join in... novelty will probably wear off and he'll go to playing once in a while. As for uni, you got exams/mocks after christmas? We used to get exams in Jan and in May.

beefy69 posted at 18/11/2008 15:32:   The man must be plain daft. Loz and Death Metal sounds much more entertaining than WoW. What ye gonna play, a bit of Cradle?, some Entombed, how's about some Viking Death Metal and Amon Amarth? Or still keeping it on the melodic from CoB or In Flames. All washed down with some Jager Ja? hehehe

SteveT posted at 18/11/2008 19:12:   Just to plug my own picture :P http://www.candycrib.com/Browse/183097/ ... I think it would be more acceptable to play the game if it did look like that though

SteveT posted at 18/11/2008 19:33:   I noticed, cos I do have ya added on there :P (I be the one who did the flutterby pic). As for the pic I put you in, found that on a google search, dunno if you read the chat going on and the pic itself, guess that's kinda funny in its own geeky way

saxondale posted at 18/11/2008 23:13:   Nope, it just sounds 2 me like u r dating a man. Admittedly a not yet properly grown-up man (ie hot girlfriend should really come b4 ANY game), but a bonafide man nonetheless. Believe me we don't change our outlook on life very much no matter how much older we get, we just learn 2 appreci8 women a little bit more.......!!!

lozzie87 posted at 18/11/2008 23:29:   yeah hes 30...

---

saxondale posted at 18/11/2008 23:46:   Hehe. Maybe the appreciation of a good woman will come just a wee bit later than normal in his case... ;p

RPG posted at 19/11/2008 07:22:   Well, I think most guys enjoy playing a game or two every now and then. Its the boy coming out and can be relaxing. Let him have a little fun every now and then but if its frequent, I would have a chat with him. I must say that I find it disturbing that hes playing games with a woman like you around. I know I wouldn't be playing games but would definately be working up a sweat very often.

---

lozzie87 posted at 19/11/2008 11:02:   ok some of you are missing the point- he worked so many days without time off (and without seeing me) so that he could take 5 days off (again not to see me), to play WoW. He played for about 4 days on 8 hours sleep. Obsessive!

---

RPG posted at 19/11/2008 12:42:   Ok, perhaps he is missing his priorities, I mean, if he only played for an hour or two one of the days then thats fine, but right through, no. Something is not right. I know I would play for 4 days on 8 hours sleep but it wouldn't be with the computer, thats for sure. Sit down and talk to him. Is there another underlying issue or is he just not thinking about you?

---

SteveT posted at 19/11/2008 13:24:   Not that I'm siding with him but, WoW and RPGs really arent the sorta games you can play for an hour and stop, you'd get no where... not that you didn't know this already Lauren :P

---

lozzie87 posted at 19/11/2008 17:43:   yes but he had a full fledged addiction to it before we were dating. then he quit. then we started dating. then when he got complacent in the relationship, he started playing again. today im at the point where this and his general lack of effort in our relationship makes me want to strangle him. its dark days for us. but even if we do make it through, at the end of it all, im never gonna marry a guy who plays stupid computer games obsessively. it makes me unhappy. grrrr.

gypo123 posted at 19/11/2008 17:59:   awww *hugs* you already know my views!

---

SteveT posted at 19/11/2008 22:03:   Ohh I don't doubt ya should, just I know how I am about games but never went that far either, but my situation was a bit more complicated anyway. :)

---

saxondale posted at 20/11/2008 23:33:   I came back to this Lauren as I've been giving this even more thought 2day. I was going 2 have a rant about people wasting stax of time on games, but then I don't presume 2 know yr man or what he's about & maybe it's that he just has a bit of an addictive personality or a particular weakness for RPGs. I guess SteveT is far better qualified 2 understand that side of things anyway. But whatever it's down to SURELY he'd pack it all in (again) 4 the sake of his relationship (and his job?) rather than risk it all over something so essentially meaningless? And if hearing it from me, the other guys on here, and more importantly U is not enough, then I guess the man is doomed to play games on his own til his days are numbered or he wakes up 2 himself. Just one real-life companion is worth 100 in a second life/RPG/fantasy/on-line game situation, and I'm sure when pressed he'd say u were worth many more than that. But occasionally I have 2 remind myself of that fact, so none of us are perfect. Hope he wakes up soon hon (and I don't mean physically!)
