Gaming problems with my gf.
- Thread starter Charm Offensive
- Start date
Get her/convince her to buy an xbox (or whatever you play on) and a copy for herself. If she wants to play so badly she can do it along side you 
I'm opposed to oral sex and i'm pretty sure she'll beat me one on one, so those suggestions are out.
The thing is, we literally just moved in together over the weekend. I don't want to say that her commenting while i'm playing bugs me, because it might make it seem like moving in was a mistake.
But it does bug me. A lot.

Dude, (camper, hiding in a hard to reach space, you, choosing your location very carefully which probably means somewhere hard to reach and well hidden, Campers provide assistance team, whether they intend to or not, which apparently you also assist your team. Finally you claim they "just go for killstreaks, which they are probably just going for kills, but even if that is the case you just said that you do as well.) You baiscally just proved to yourself that they are the same thing with different names.Charm Offensive said:
Sorta the same difference, a strategic retreat is backing off when staying where you are will do no good and will get you killed... running like a coward is just legging it regardless of the strategic situation.bad rider said:
Camping is staying in one spot indefinitely, and strategic waiting is staying in one spot for a short time because its that or run out into some crossfire... or waiting for the right moment to ambush someone.
I don't really see the problem. If you're getting so worked up over the way she plays Call of Duty, I'd say you're letting something really quite insignificant (video game tactics) intrude way too heavily on a real life relationship. A relationship with a loved one is far more important than any form of media entertainment.
dude just fucking ignore it, unless its something that impairs your ability to play the game, cause that's a really stupid thing to have a hangup aboutCharm Offensive said:
Tell your woman you don't have to say anything to the people who camp, because bullets in the face and grenades in crotches speak volumes, and when she says your camping say, "No I'm not, I'm not walking into enemy fire is what I'm doing.Charm Offensive said:
But if you don't want to do that say, "Yes, dear, of course, dear, or anything you say, dear."
Honestly you'll have to talk to her about it. If you ignore her comments with the hope it will make your relationship smoother it might have an adverse effect. I mean, how happy are you going to be if you're bundling up everything just to keep her from getting mad? You're already upset over it, and it will just get worse if you never say anything.Charm Offensive said:
Just tell her you play your own way, and while you appreciate how badass she is for kicking ass at CoD and all the advice she's offered about the game your playstyles are just different.
I like reading some of the responses to this thread, it makes me chuckle.
OT: Be a little more patient with her, she is a gamer like you. When in doubt, go head to head against her in Black Ops to see who is the better player. If she beats you, then clearly she knows what she is talking about. Make sure not to get too serious in the competition or it may backfire. Call it a "friendly competition" if you like.

"...Strategic waiting?"
Sorry, mate. As many others have said, your girlfriend's right. And (promise I'm not saying this because of female solidarity, but...) she sounds like she knows what she's doing. As you've said you're "pretty sure she'll beat you one on one," have you ever thought that she's just giving you tips? I give tips to my gamer friends all the time when we're playing. (a la: "No, when I do that move you want to block and counter, not try to attack me after I've started winding up for it" in a fighting game.) You can fight about it if you so desire, but to me, it seems like she's in the right.
Worst comes to worst, and you need to duke it out in a non-fight situation: pick a game you're both equally good at and decide who's right in a 1v1 match (or best 2 out of 3, or whatever you can agree on). Winner of the match is right. Though, really, talking it out with a simple "I'd appreciate it if you don't backseat game while I'm playing" would be simplest.
