Gaming problems with my gf.

[Katana314]

I'm somewhat surprised you're not doing it splitscreen; I thought Black Ops let you play online that way. Basically, just give her her own screen to watch.

Also, feel free to make reasoned debate about weapon attachments and stuff while you're dead and spectating. If there's a reason for ACOG sights, etc., just let her know matter-of-factly. Of course, this is a slippery slope towards yelling and arguing, so try to keep it humorous and not at all serious.

 

[Griffolion]

I'm somewhat surprised you're not doing it splitscreen...

That's what she said. BOOM!

 

[Silent Anima]

Oh you guiyz.

You make it sound like if you're not running around knifing people you must be camping. Taking a good position for a minute or two is just good sense.

I agree with this. Besides it's not like REAL soldiers run around constantly knifing people. They take positions and do things that won't end up in them dying, because, honestly, if they didn't they would be the derpiest military EVAR!

 

[The Cheezy One]

Junction her properly, and make sure you equip the relevant abilities, and you should be ok to use her in battle

OT: Just be glad she's taking an active interest. Worse would be if she ignored you completely or tried to stop you gaming.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Doesn't BlOps have 2-player online?

Problem solved.

 

[Raineheart]

Make HER a sandwich and while she's completely dumbfounded sneak up behind and give her a wedgie.


But seriously, just tell her to bugger off and that you're having fun. If she's nice, she'll respect that. IF she isn't, continue with follow up argument of that if she isn't going to respect you as a person doing the things you like, you won't either, and promptly burn all her undergarments.

 

[Sebenko]

Get a second controller, let her play.

What, scared she'll kick your ass? Man up.

And anyone whining about how running around with a knife isn't "realistic", go play Arma II if you think realism is important.

 

[Kargathia]

I only have one question about this. Does she frequent The Escapist?

 

[Killclaw Kilrathi]

Sorry man, but I agree with your girlfriend. She knows more about this game than you do.

 

[LostintheWick]

"Strategic waiting" is a fancy name for camping. Sorry, dude...Girlfriend wins that one.

Also, no offense, but..You sound threatened by the fact that she knows games as well or better than you do. You'd probably be better off with a non-gamer.

Lastly, that comic is utter BS. And I'm saying this as a female gamer. There's a line between bitching because you want attention and bitching because the guy spends ALL his time on the games. A real woman knows and will stand up for herself when she's being ignored.

I think this is right on. I couldn't have said it more directly.

I'd like to add that it is understandable to get annoyed by the passenger seat driver. But unless you told her you want to tackle that game your own way and figure it out w/o help, you only have yourself to blame for not communicating your wants.

If she doesn't respond well to that, then maybe you'll have a better reason to start venting.

Well, i only play team headqaurters and i think the difference between "camping" and "strategic waiting" is this.

A camper will park himself somewhere hidden or hard to reach soleley with a view of racking up kills while not dying to unlock a killstreak reward. Giving absolutely no thought to how his actions affect the team's ability to secure a HQ.

A strategic waiter like myself will choose his location very carefully. Normally a tactical position where i can provide overwatch for the guys on the ground that are attacking the HQ itself, or of the major routes from the spawns to the HQ.

I mean, yeah, i avoid the thickest of the action so i can unlock the attack dogs killstreak, but i do it for purely selfless reasons.

Sooooo you camp a spot. +1 Girlfriend

First of all let me let you in on a little quotation: "You can either be right; or you can be happy"

It will not affect you one way or the other if you just agree with your girlfriend on some issues even though you know she is completely wrong about them. I know she is just your girlfriend but "happy wife; happy life" comes into play here as well.

I'm opposed to oral sex

Wait... What?

Men who don't give oral sex to women, deserve to be married to their lefty. Just saying.

Oh, i'm not aversed to giving, but i'm absolutely against receiving as i feel it degrades the woman.

WTF!?!?!?!?!!? Is it degrading to men to perform this on women. It is give and take buddy; there is nothing degrading about it. Have you ever received such a delight as bricking with lips wrapped around you? It is probably what heaven feels like. Besides my wife loves it when i bring her to a squirting climax doing that to her. She only feels like it is fair to do it to me too. Your feelings on oral are fucking ridiculous!!!!!!!

I have never had oral sex performed on me, but i saw a picture on the internet once, and the girl's mouth looked uncomfortably full. I would say there is a different between putting something in your mouth, and putting your mouth in something.

It's not a flattering look for a girl, and there are two much better orifices to use, that produce mutual pleasurefication. You know -- one's that aren't lined with teeth.

Also, i like for her mouth to be free, so she can tell me how great i am. That gives me far more pleasure than receiving oral sex would.

That explains a lot. Don't knock it until you try it. I suggest you give it a go and believe me your mind will be blown(haha funny pun).
