*this contains a bit of sarcasm, please take this lightly

We all know that girlfriends can be our worst enemy when it comes to videogames. Here are some funny moments (funny = now because they weren't at the time) about when video games could have been bad for my love life.

1- (With my ex.) I like Dead or Alive for the graphics. My first gf wasn't reacting much to the fact that me and a friend were playing DOA1 a lot to unlock the costumes and that we were amazed (then) by the bouncing factor.

Then came DOA2 for PS2. My ex wanted all the attention she could get from me so the only moment I could breath was when she was at work. I rented DOA2: Hardcore and played the hell out of it to unlock the art gallery. I captured pictures and did a feature on a fan website. When my ex came back and asked me what I did, I replied "Oh, I've played PS2".

Then she found that feature online and asked when I did it. I told her it was the saturday where she was working. You should have seen her face. OMG I lied (I deformed the truth IMO). So I was a liar, an imbecile and probably the most violent man against women on Earth.

There was a saying "If your gf is bad for your gaming, leave your gf". I did. It was bad for my mental health anyways.

2- Then came my current gf. A total noob concerning video games. At first, she liked Devil May Cry and she even liked DOA3! But she wasn't prepared for her biggest enemy:

Solid Snake.

MGS2 came out and unlike other games that I get tired of playing after a while, I couldn't stop playing this one. So I was playing, it was around 1AM and my gf told me she was going to sleep. Apparently she prepared candles and stuff for a romantic encounter that didn't happen. I was glued to MGS2. I spent 1h trying to beat Vamp so I had to keep on playing.

5:00 - I'm in Arsenal Gear with a naked guy. Then the radio buzzed. The Colonel says "Turn off your console, you've been playing for too long". WTF? I knew it was just a game but it was so related with the situation (late, played for too long, tired as hell). Being finally able to control myself, I turned the game off and went to bed.

Since then, my gf despise Solid Snake (in a humourous kind of way). Whenever I mention Metal Gear Solid, she says "Oh no, not HIM".

So, anything funny or bad happened with your gf about games?
 
well for me...it usually was...

girlfriend = little to no gaming at all

no girlfriend = whole lotta gaming.

dont know why, thats just how its been for me.....except recently...

im not really with this girl, just talking and doing other stuff with her. :D

but i still game every now and then (alot more than i did when i actually had a girl) and whenever she calls and im playing a game....she can tell (even tho i turn the volume down) and she'll be like "are you playing a game?!?! and il be like "uh no...why?"

but thats only when i feel like talking and playing at the sametime, other times il just tell her im bout to play a game for a bit so il catch up with her later and she's cool with it. which is wierd cause everytime i tell her that, i expect her to complain but she doesnt.

but yea, i guess its cause we arent officially together is why i actually still play games.

peace

My GF (now wife), beats me in PIKMIN 2 :( .. she really kicks my ass, and I consider myself a good gamer

Yeah mine im sorry to say beats me in smash bros and she actually the first person to actually beat me of my friends its actually quite sad lol :lol
 
Why does everybody always laugh when they're beaten by a girl, or make fun of somebody else when they're beaten by a girl? Do you think they're really that inferior, to liken it to something like being beaten by an 8 year old?

And don't give me that "because girls don't play games like guys do" BS.
 
My girlfriend (now wife) will never let me live down the time she came home from college to visit and all I did was breed Chocobos in FFVII. Just the thought of chocobo sex starts the whole thing over again. It's been like six years. I'll never hear the end of that one.
 
1. when my girlfriend dropped Singh , McWild , then me with melee attacks on blood gulch.

2. Various moments of 10 player bomberman humiliation

3. "Real gamers don't post on message boards - they are too busy playing games to talk about them! .... you aren't a real gamer are you?"

4. Time crisis 2 arcade battle - i got totally owned, but blamed it on me being on the left side of the screen, so we switched sides and i got even more owned... after which she said "... i was deliberately going easy on you in the first game... n00b" :( :( :(

#3 REALLY stung.
 
My girlfriend destroys me in Soul Calibur 2, consistently. Luckily though, she's has no problem with me playing videogames at all when she's around. In fact, she advocates it because she feels that I put down good money for it and should enjoy it. She's also big on joining in whenever she can. Animal Crossing was pretty much a third member in our relationship for a few months.

Anyway, whenever my roommate gets a new game, he usually plays it for a good 8-10 hours a day until he beats it. This drives his girlfriend insane sometimes. It's really funny to watch. (we'll call them "Bob" and "Wendy")

Wendy: Bob, are you coming to bed?
Bob: Uh yeah, I'm just going to level up a few more times. 10 minutes, tops.
Wendy: Okay.

(60 minutes pass by)

Wendy: (in a loud whispering voice) BOB!
Bob: Sorry, sorry, just a little longer.

And it will seriously go on and on like this until she just gets fed up and watches him play, heh.
 
My current girlfriend called my house once and she had these big problems and was pooring her heart out to me so I could comfort her but instead I was trying to get a huge high score in Warioware so I'm like "uh-huh, uh-huh...yeah I know...it's ok...you'll be fine...of course...don't worry abo-FUCKKK!!!" (just died)
 
I used to beat my girlfriend's ass at Mario Party without remorse. She'd get pretty pissed.

I knew this one girl, the Tetris MASTER. Only videogame I ever lost to a girl to, but the worst part is that we played for hours and I didn't beat her ONCE.
 
One of the worst ideas in the history of mankind: getting involved with a girl as Quake 2 is released. I'd be talking to her on the phone while playing rail arena and she'd test me to see if i was playing. God forbid she HEARD a rail gun. The only game she liked was minesweeper.

I love statements like this. See, it doesn't matter if your girl or boy likes games. It comes down to you spending too much time playing games instead of paying attention to him or her.
My wife likes video games and plays occasionally, but still knows in her heart of hearts that the PS2 is the other woman.
 
lol my girlfriend lets me borrow the games she buys she is crazy about zelda loves nintendo thought she has all the systems pretty good match if I might say so myself.

It does matter, at least to me. They need to share my hobbies, especially gaming. It's just too important.

Fixed.

You are missing the point. I realize it matters to you, as well it should to everybody. Everyone would prefer to have a significant other who likes games and gaming. (I lucked out and happened to marry one.)

My point is this, as succinct as possible: No matter how much you two share in common, there comes a point when you have to pay more attention to your girl or boy than you do to your games. Sadly many people, including myself, missed that point. It's a mistake you usually can't make twice. You can say, "Well, if my GF likes games, then we won't have that problem," you will be sorely mistaken. She'll eventually want to boink you, not wait for you to complete a level.

What's that line in Mallrats? "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega."

Ain't that the truth.
 
My wife enjoys playing certain types of games and never really complains about my gaming time. I always try to spend some time with her when I come home before retiring to the "game room" and on weekends. I couldn't spend all my time gaming, I get bored with it after a while.

Games My wife likes: Harvest Moon. We both played Animal Crossing quite a bit. She plays a female archer in Champions of Norrath. She can whip my ass at DOA2 and 3. She's also pretty good at SSBM and Mario Party. She also likes Tiger Woods Golf.

Games my wife hates: Any FPS, which is bad since my friends and I have been playing Halo 1 and 2 for months.

She only plays consoles though and I can't get her interested in handhelds which is a shame since she sometimes has a lot of time to waste on her job. Dunno why but she just doesn't like em.

I guess you're not cut out for gf's. Think of it this way. If you were some chick and you had no interest in gaming wouldn't you want to spend time with the person you are with? You alwaysss playing games instead of spending time with them is selfish. Pfft men. jk dont hurt me

but seriously some of you guys are lucky women put up with this kind of stuff. They shouldn't in some of the circumstances you describe. "she comes to visit me from college and all i did was breed chocobos''.
 
The only time me and my gf ever had a dispute about gaming was when I do the whole Last Action Hero routine when I used to play CS -- "Uh-huh... uh-huh... mm-hmm... yah yah yah yah yah... uh-huh. mm-hmm" etc. That's about it really. MMO's are actually a pretty damn good way to avoid that. Playing an MMO and talking on the phone with her is really easy as MMO's don't require nearly as much concentration (especially when you're a more combat oriented class and not a healing class) as you just charge in and initiate combat.
 
Hmmm...

Well, first, I'd have to say FFX was one of the best rpgs I've ever played.

Soon as I was done, the GF wanted to play and beat it.

I watched her play and helped her through the game as she beat it...afterwards we broke up...

Started dating another girl (her friend) shortly afterwards, and then I helped HER through the game :P

Then I broke up with her afterwards, (btw, none of these are gaming related, just crazy girls is all)

And it's unrelated, but then I walked my COUSIN through the damned game...so I know freakin FFX like the back of my goddamned hand...

4 times and multiply that by about 45 hours each and you got 180 spent on one game :(
 
When i met my gf 5 years ago she wasn't into gaming at all, around that time i started to get into importing my games and consoles, and like the rest of the family she kinda found it intresting.
She didn't really play on my GameCube, that is untill Animal Crossing came around, at first she was like: Just look at that game, it looks retarded. Now she is the only one who plays the game and keeps the town in a good state. She loves it.

On GBA she really loved Wario Ware, Mario Kart and SMA.
Things have changed since DS arrived, she is really enjoying the Mario 64 mini games.
She doesn't like the main story but is addicted to Wanted, Picture Poker and Memory.

Seems the DS really is appealing to the non-gamers, cos most of my family couldn't be bothered with PS2 or GameCube, but now everybody wants to TOUCH!.
It's really cool, all of a sudden everybody is like: Wow this is fun, can i play your nintendo thingy??
 
You guys should track down "Wizard Needs Food, Badly" by Five Iron Frenzy. It's about girls who get upset because guys spend time on games/sports/cars/whatever, and I think there's a passing mention of the Super FX chip, so.. hey.

I got into a knock-down-drag-out verbal brawl with my fiancee a few weeks ago because I was playing Halo with my friend when she called. She saw it as some horrible affront; I didn't think anything of it. ... Actually, this isn't a very amusing or interesting story. Oh well! (A) BAIL OUT
 
My wife likes video games and plays occasionally, but still knows in her heart of hearts that the PS2 is the other woman

Yeah, but at least the other woman isn't a woman.

Click to expand...

See? Apparantly. Why will they never understand that we are not mind readers. There is no difference between "I'm going to bed now" and "I'm going to bed now". They might think that the second one clearly indicates the potential for a romantic encounter, but I need her to throw her knickers down the stairs, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue.
 
And it's unrelated, but then I walked my COUSIN through the damned game...
Click to expand...

Right about there, I stopped for second thinking you were gonna say after walking your cousin through the game, you broke up with him/her too.

Either way, FFX seems to be a relationship killer for you. They should make a warning on the next on all Final Fantasy games. Especially on Final Fantasy XI. It only says to not neglect work, school, family and friends.. nothing about significant others.. Bastards at Squaresoft!!
 
Hmm. My girlfriend is the eldest of three girls, and has had no gaming experience. She now wants to learn all about the Zelda games and video games in general. This is rather unexpected.
 
The second to last girl I was with (she wasn't my girlfriend though) was a self proclaimed Burnout 3 God. She lives in one of the Southern States, but she came up to Canada for a few weeks, and was in Vancouver for about a week. She was good, surprisingly good.

I still beat her though. If you ever meet her, and she says otherwise, she's lying. I was considering letting her win to solidify the odds of something happening later in the night, but I figured it'd be more fun to have my cake and beat her too. Not.. physically.

41 takedowns. Suck that, sweetheart.
 
I tried showing my last girlfriend more serious stuff like Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2, and she only reacted with snoring sounds, so I started trying cutesy and fun games like Parappa and Space Channel 5, to which she reacted by asking why I have so many gay games. :(
 
A previous girlfriend of mine liked games, but she wasn't very good at playing them from what I saw. I remember when we played Tekken 3 against each other...she kept losing, but insisted she wanted to keep playing. After about 50 wins in a row I couldn't take it anymore and stopped playing. And she also played Megaman X4, but kept dying over and over again. Even at the most simple of places...I just had to leave the room, because it was too frustrating to watch. :/

Dude, you're lucky you didn't have Kuri Kuri Mix (or Adventures of Cookie & Cream for you yanks). Talk about frustrating.

"No, look, it's the switch right in the middle of the screen -- it's glowing and has huge red arrows pointing to it! No, not the box in the bottom right corner, the switch! No, not that chair either. Why are you walking in a circle? No, why are you jumping into that shaft?"

Yet she'd insist on playing only that game. :(

I've always thought of Kuri Kuri Mix as the ultimate game to play with a girlfriend...but now I'm not so sure anymore... :lol :lol
 
I know a guy, his girl works at SCi and to settle who makes morning tea, they have a battle on Timesplitters 2.

All true.
 
I had a gaming wife, i was great but that's it...she was better at being a friend than being a wife :P Housework had to be done by me because she was playing Jak and Ratchet and Clank!! She had a jealousy problem, a mean streak and a respect problem. All doomed the relationship.

Gaming wife or traditional non gaming wife? Go with the traditional :)
I will try to soon find a happy medium, hopefully one exists out there.

My first girlfriend hated Zelda because I and most every guy she knew was crazy over Ocarina of Time.

As far as my current girlfriend goes, in our first year I played practically no games. She wasn't the only reason for this, but she was definitely one of them. We just spent a lot of time together.

But now I've finally got my stuff hooked up with a switch so it's less painful for me to play, and the initial lovey dovey stage with my girlfriend is over, so there's more time to play!
 
my girlfriend plays games with me. i wouldn't have it any other way. i've dated non-gamer girls, and after a while they all felt as if they were being ignored. they'd say i was wasting my time, etc.
nothing better than sitting up all hours playing games with your SO, then going to bed and talking about it (after we... you know :) )
