Ashley, you have never been willing to accommodate my World of Warcraft needs, or even to compromise the slightest bit. Last month, when your mother was in a car accident, you called and not only demanded I drive you to the hospital but insisted I stay there to provide "emotional support"--despite knowing full well that I had booked that evening off to fight forest trolls in Zul'Aman. When I suggested you take a cab and that I join you in three to four hours, you unleashed a string of expletives that even my therapist found disturbing. You also refused to wait until we finished off the eagle boss, the one who drops the helm piece I have been trying to get for months.
For the record she turned out fine anyway. Many paraplegics lead rich and rewarding lives.
Also, what you stumbled upon me doing with that Level 64 blood elf in the back room of the Silvermoon City Inn was neither "sick and perverted" nor "cheating on you." We were role-playing. That I called you by her character's name later that evening was just a weird coincidence. I do not wish your body looked like that. You and I both know that it's physically impossible for humans to have those proportions, at least while retaining all of their internal organs.
I swear, she's so anti-WoW she'd be happier learning I'd spent all night at a strip club getting Life-Savers picked from my nose using a certain, special body part.
]]>Now this game: http://www.eve-online.com/ is even more attractive to me as all players share the same world. But I'm not going there either.
]]>If you can, however, then it's awesome.
I agree, my wife is much happier with me spending the night drinking with my friends rather than spending the same night playing WoW. I stopped playing because I was tired of being committed to playing on certain nights and constantly having to tell people that I couldn't go do something else. It was the lack of being able to be spontaneous with life that bugger her the most I think.
@Winston: If you can teach me how to do this, then I will consider you a God among men. I think I'd have better luck getting my girlfriend to watch "Backdoor Sluts 9" with me.
My co-worker's gf just got knee surgery and is going to be on crutches for a few months. She's considering getting them both an account to have something to do together. So, just put your gf in crutches*.

]]>Back to the drawing board for me....
Did you steal my woman?
]]>- it doesn't interfere with him paying his half of the bills.
- it takes place in a separate space in the house (such as a home office) or better yet somewhere else, so I'm free to do my own thing.
- he never says a word about how many shoes I own or what I pay for them. ;)

To have a successful relationship, one must master emotional jui-jitsu. They may not like losing, but they will like the competition (cause trust me they are doing it to you).
Fast forward to now. He has since quit playing, they've broken up, and she's twice the WoW nerd he ever was. Which, of course, makes her all the hotter.
]]>she's been on a tear lately, running around in a plate armor bikini and smacking gnomes to pieces. Not sure if the strategy works if you're a hardcore raider though, I don't think she'd be cool with the time (and committment) required for that. Couple hours here and there playing together is awesome though.
]]>I have to admit that it's nice to be able to say, "Double XP weekend coming up" and to have her say, "Okay, what snacks do we want this time?"
]]>As an Eve player, let me say the best thing about it is that it DOES allow you to have a life outside the game, because skills train in real-time whether you're online or not. So I have 19 days (and 2 hours 16 minutes, but who's counting) to train Caldari Battleship skill to level 5, and it takes the same amount of time whether I'm plating constantly or working, visiting my family, or reading T-NC here. This makes it great for the casual player, because the no-life fifteen-year-old doesn't have a huge advantage over the rest of you.
[subliminal voice] Taste the sweet, sweet Eve crack pipe! The first hit is free.... [/subliminal voice]
]]>It's all the effing same. Bleh.
]]>"Send all the green stuff to me so I can disenchant it."
And I did for the three months I played.
He also suckered me into trying to level a holy priest so I could keep his new rogue healed while he leveled it up.
