[Barry White]

Forbidden Love?

She's a Red Pyro. He's a Blu Spy. Theirs is a love that should never be - but Barry White sure is glad that it is.

And don't you ever let her go!

The writing made me want to play TF2 more than anything.
Well I guess you'll be fine until the first time you get a "Domination" on her

@Brotherofwill

Try the other way around.

You're lucky, I want a GF like that

But it is true. Gaming is the most approachable geek-activity of them all.

What a great article. Flame on, fellow lady pyro :]

Well said, well said indeed. Having played with/against this Jen character, I have to say you're an impressive teacher, but also demonstrate incredible trust: being prepared to take her into a world that is often juvenile and chauvinistic (one which could have easily put her off) shows more commitment than most would have. That there is reason enough for her to trust you in the future.

Oh, and say hi to her from me.

Hopefully these events will become less of an unusualness and become the norm. Hopefully once the juvenile and chauvinistic tendency of the gaming world that Lukasa pointed out has died down a little. I'd still argue that we shouldn't completely wipe out those tendencies though since the world would be dull if we were all reading from the same page.

I look forward to the day when my girlfriend and myself both have our own computer so we can re-enact such activities, she has expressed interest already in playing Team Fortress 2. Though its likely she'll want to stay within arms reach so any kills I make against her are met with her giving me a beating in real life. Fun times.

Suddenly, I hear a frustrated cry from the next room and the words every boyfriend dreads hearing: "No more sex for you!"

I sigh, happily. I love that Pyro.

That made me smile inside

My better half is on our bed right now curled up with her DS playing Professor Layton. We both stayed up the past few nights to do 'just one more puzzle'. I bought Scene-It over Christmas and she loves a game every few nights. She doesn't like the games I would tend to play wholesale, but when we strike middle ground it always ends in a good night.

Great article mate, Im proud of ya

I need a girlfriend like that. it's not gaming that prevents me though. i ware gaming on my sleeve. it's out there for the world to see. i'm just shy as all hell when talking to a female i might be attracted to. backwards, i know

You know, my problem isn't inhibitions about the juvenile activities that I do. I have no hang-ups with being a computer gamer at all. The problem is that I do computing activities which are far more mature - and far more obscure. There's nobody outside a computer-science context who wants to hear about 2,000-word essays on computer technology predictions. The same applies to my interests in automotive technology, aeronautics and spaceflight.

The juvenile activities are easy to justify. It's my interests in other things that are difficult to explain, particularly as I'm what you may consider "eccentric" anyway.

Are the more "eccentric" parts part of your career? Or areas of study for a career? If so, what's there to justify?

Cute story !

Warmed my heart =)

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Nicely written. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now I have to go and do something unspeakably evil to balance it out. Thank you

Five... four... three... two... one...

AWWWWWWWWWW.....

but also demonstrate incredible trust: being prepared to take her into a world that is often juvenile and chauvinistic (one which could have easily put her off) shows more commitment than most would have.

I've found that the community in TF2 (unless you're on the Steam forums, or if you're playing on 2fort2furious) is a lot more mature than other games I've played. Most of the guys that talk on the servers I play on sound like college students and older, and they're just out to play a game.

Damn. I wish I had a GF to take sex from me over something as insubstantial as a kill in TF2 (Read: I wish I had a girlfriend (Read: Sex)).

I hate being single again.
