Girlfriends, Gaming and You.

[Bernzz]

I played Super Smash Brothers Melee a month or so ago with my girlfriend. Her character was Kirby. I swear he's the default character for girls that don't play games.
She doesn't mind I do, because I don't really all that much. Also, I never play them around her because it's rude unless I'm trying to get her to participate.

My best character is Kirby, and I'm a guy. He's been my best since the first Smash Brothers, and when I first tried out Brawl, I beat even the guys who nobody else could beat using him. I felt awesome, yet kinda feminine. It was...weird.

Don't be ashamed. Let your inner female gamer out. As a universal rule...girls will always be better, smarter and and more victorious. If a female gamer is bad at video games, it is because she chooses to be so.....


...erm. I lost track.....what was the topic?

my girlfriend plays wii if that counts.

no it doesnt, the wii is never to be considered to be a console. as that is a lie

But Wii Fit is really cool.

No really, i think the Wii has its moments. It may not be the most advanced console out there, but hey visuals are not everything.

I'm playing FF VII on my PS3....and i have more fun than with most recent games.

yes the wii has its moments, like a retarded monkey does, the other consoles however do not need such moments

Fanboy troll is fail
Sit down son, it is a gaming platform, therefore, if you use it, you are a gamer. Just because it doesn't suit you and only you, doesn't mean it is bad. So stop the trolling and accept the fact that not everyone is exactly like you. Why would you turn a simple thread into a console flame war?

That said, I don't think playing wii fit once or twice would constitute one as a gamer, but if your GF really does play games on it, then yes she is a gamer.

Screw that, here's three stories about three completely different ex-girlfriends:

1) Despite showing know immediate signs before hand, when I stepped into her room for the first time it hit me in a wave of earth-shattering terror that she was an avid Japanophile. The color of her walls were unknown as every square inch was covered in anime posters, her floor was littered with those $200 ball-joint dolls, and and her pc... ugh. Anyways, back to the gaming bit. She only played three types of games: Any and all Sims "games", free MMORPGs (FlyFF, MapleStory, etc) and World of Warcraft. I can't find the spare time to play one MMO let alone several. Needless to say, she didn't last long

2) This one was the type who would rather watch you play and stare at all the pretty cutscenes. Played every once and a while, but it wasn't long until I heard "Hey, can you beat this part for me? It's really hard." After we broke up, I find out years later that her current boyfriend has done something that I have failed time and time again to do with any woman: He turned her into a "hardcore" FPS-er. Not the Left 4 Dead "HEY GUISE IMMA GURL!" type of FPS-er, the tea-bagging, shit-talking, noob-pwning type of FPS-er. She's still sweet offline, but once you get her to a mouse and a headset, shit gets really fucking serious. If I ever meet her boyfriend, I will give him a beer and a handshake.

3) This one absolutely HATES any and all video games with a passion. "Games are stupid. They are all a waste of time" "I'd rather be doing something like working out or shopping" and my favorite "Everything in your life is nothing but games. That's all you ever think about". Ah, for the longest time, there was nothing under the sun that was worse than The Viddya in her eyes. That is, of course, until I introduced her to Mario Kart.

Im sorry, troll? come off it mate, i was merely stating my point not going off at the poor basterd

My GF isn't a gamer I got her obsessed with the half-life series though and now she won't stop bugging me about when episode three might come out.

 

[Biek]

I was looking around at a game store when I heard the following conversation behind me:

Girl: Cant you just pick one?

Guy: Hold on, im just browsing this shelf.

Girl: *sigh* But their all just video games. Why cant you just choose one?

If you swap the words "video games" with "shoes", you get the average conversation when you go shopping with your gf in a shoestore.

...The only use of Nintendo, getting "non-gamer" women to try games.

... Your story is like a process in motion... By this route, your next girlfriend will either hate videogames to the point she'll actually murder someone if you mention them, or it'll go in a circle and she'll be a complete "in ur base" nerd.

... All bets are open.

Biek: I so hope the guy repeated that conversation next time he took her shopping...

All of my girlfriends thought gaming was bad. That's probably why they are now my ex-girlfriends.

 

[out0v0rder]

Just sayin'..... but if you have a triforce tattoo on your back, (or any other logo of a product that is maintained by a corporate entity) that is total fail. Just sayin'.....

 

[Terria]

My girlfriends arguably a bigger gamer than myself.

It's a wonderful thing sirs.

 

[SquirrelPants]

I got my girlfriend to play Portal, and it was AWESOME.
Really, no antics or anything. Just Portal. =D

 

[Chartic]

yes the wii has its moments, like a retarded monkey does, the other consoles however do not need such moments

What a cruel thing to say.
To each its own. I think the wii has proven itself on the gaming market. Everything else is, as it should be, personal opinion.

I agree, though it may not be a hardcore console, the wii is pretty fun.

 

[ConnorCool]

my gf likes playing some games, and dislikes others. the best thing about it is that she doesnt mind watching me play 8] we enjoy gaming together, which is AWESOME

 

[GeoPB]

GF's and gaming should never come into contact with eachother unless its a party/casual game. If you hardcore it, you show your gamer side. Everyone knows the gamer side is a daark parralel of Mr nice guy Wii player, or a friendly GH jam.

...Ok... Where did the "Triforce tatoo" come in...?
