Gaming Couples

[IrradiatedFish]

Used to love playing Smash Bros Melee, and then eventually Brawl, with my ex-girlfriend. We played other things too, but it eventually came back to those two though. She always kicked my ass too... *sigh* I really quite honestly miss those times. I miss her .
Anyway, not gunna derail this thread or anything, but yeah, having someone who shares and participates in your interests is truly something wonderful.
I Envy all of you who still experience these things !

 

[Mumonk]

I met my wife on WoW =D and now all we do (in our spare time aside from fucking) is play games =)

 

[messy]

Yeah. We recently played through pokemon silver via emulator, we both own the game anyways but easier via computer.

Also we've played a fair bit of Dynasty Warriors together. She's also rather into age of empires and the like but I'm not a huge fan. My plan is to introduce her to Reach when I get it finally. Then maybe hustle some of my unsuspecting friends.

Also bioshock, bioshock is just as scary with two of you.

I envy this. I can't find a girl gamer I am attracted to.

Give it time, as more and more social barriers are broken down the number of girls will rise. Also, say what you want about it, the wii is a great way to introduce someone to gaming so perhaps kinetic and move will results in a similar increase.

(sorry if this sounds patronising)

No, that would require a significant other. Know where I can find one?

Well there are girls on The Escapist, that doesn't mean this is a dating site though and you shouldn't really be sending naughty messages to them.

I am trying to find a male gamer who doesnt mind playing WOW, L4D or starcraft 2
*pout*

With those 3 games under your belt surely you'd have all the guys (in the lobby's) salivating over you, have you met Canadamus_prime?

*marketing voice*
He's an avid gamer looking for a gamer chick!, he enjoys pwning noobs on the normady beaches and strategies against Zerg Rushes, Good sense of humour is a must!

Anyone else saw that Match.net advert a few years back?, if you didn't find love in 6 months they'd give you an extra 6 months for free?.

I don't play co-op with my girlfriend often because with her balancing two jobs and college she never plays video games that often. We did, however, play Left 4 Dead 2 on PC at Howie's Game Shack during Summer Vacation so that's one co-op game we enjoyed together. Other than that, I never have the patience to probably let her learn a game xD

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

My now ex-girlfriend often said she wanted to play games with me but we never did. This was because I naturally assumed (given her basic character and the fact that she never really played games) that she was just saying this for my benefit (in the same way that I might say I'd like to go shopping with her. I don't actually want to go shopping, but I was willing to put up with it to be with her you see).

Even if she was legitimately interested, it isn't a lot of fun playing a game when there is a dramatic difference in skill between the two parties. It tends to lead to frustration.

We did once play a game. It was Super Mario Brother's 3. We had fun I suppose. Or at least I had fun.

Forget patronizing, I like the idea that when I am about 50 years old, I can get a girl half my age to play video games with. Hopefully, by that time, there will be a viagra for keeping my energy level and interest in video games up.

50? Although I have no idea how old you are I don't think you'll have to wait that long. My experience in relationships isn't extensive and I've found a few women who like video games, manga, warhammer 40k and the like. Just keep talking to women and eventually you'll find one.

Forget it. It was a joke. Yes, I am pretty old. 37, to be exact.

I guess I opened myself up for that one, didn't I?

Oh sorry. Humour once again drained entirely by the medium of text on the internet.

Yep you did! Now why Do I see Cold Storage now the Escapist unoffical CUPID?

 

[FieryTrainwreck]

I know that guy flew off the handle on the first page, and everyone's like "what the fuck, bro?", but I completely empathize with him right now. Seeing a thread full of people who happily game with, and likely sex, their significant others on a regular basis fills me with a powerful urge to carpet bomb an orphanage.

On a semi-related note, some dude wearing skinny jeans was complaining about something or other at work yesterday, and all I could think was "Fuck you. Some of us have the exact same problems plus we can't fit into those fucking jeans, so go fuck yourself." It's been a good week.

 

[Legendairy314]

Don't have one at the moment. When I do I won't mind if they're not into gaming but considering I plan to make a career out of them I generally expect them to accept gaming. God knows that if she doesn't like games when we meet I'll try to reverse that though. We all started somewhere.

 

[Jekken6]

I feel sad now because of this thread

 

[ZiggyE]

So you can see why some of us are a little uneasy about socially competent people flocking to our hobby.

First sign of the apocalypse... maybe?

OT: Personally, all my friends are gamers, and none of them are female. So I wouldn't be able to get a gaming partner unless I made some serious, sexual orientation changing decisions.

 

[Raberdeen]

I recall when I bought an Xbox 360 (about a year after they launched) My fiancé couldn't believe that I'd waste that much money when I already had an Xbox/PS2 /sigh

So needless to say, shes not at all a gamer. I've tried to get her to play, but aside from the occasional game of Dr. Mario shes not at all interested in gaming. She would much rather read a novel while I game.

 

[Christopher Roberts]

I play co-op games with my girlfriend all the time. Games we have played include:
Kane and Lynch
Gears of War
Call of Duty
RE5
Army of Two

Not all of them great... some even horrible, but we played them cause they were two player. The things I learned, pace yourself. We can only play together for an hour or so before we're arguing over the dumbest shit.

For example:
Me: "WHY'D YOU LET HIM KILL YOU?! YOU'RE USELESS!"
Her: "MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME I COULDA RAN AWAY!"
Me: "RUNNING IS FOR COWARDS!"

And so on... and so on.

 

[likalaruku]

Pretty much anny MMO. You can go on raids/skirmishes together, craft eachother weapons & armor, etc.

 

[Chani07]

Oh, interesting subject. Well, me and my boyfriend have played several games over the years. For now we spend some quality time in EVE online- at first i wasn't very attracted to the game, but i got really hooked on it, and we both love it. But we played WoW, diablo 2, some warcraft 3 modes, Unreal Tournament 2004, Heroes III, Worms and i can't really remember all of them. These are the ones that we played the most and enjoyed the most. Thing is, we love games in general, so it was only natural we would play video games together as well. So it's all fun and games ^_^

Oh, and i wish good luck to all the gamers so that they can find a bf/gf that will accept and even share their gaming habits .
