even if "girlfriend" isn't a word that applies to my life (and i don't have the chance to be gay or something so i have to painfully resist and survive without any intimate life until AT THE VERY LEAST next-gen or when i'll have the chance to play a game with cg-like graphics lol), i remember that "female friend" of mine giving me a bj while playing FF9.
Girlfriends vs Gaming: Your best moments
- Thread starter suikodan
- Start date
Uh, Shenmue II. I was playing this when I met my last gf. Well, when we were really getting into each other. And I had a friend over and she came over and both were watching me. I was absolutely hooked, getting to that amazing cilmax. Literally almost shaking and she's talking. I did a lot of "uh huh"'s and explaining how much this game means to me. And we both kept smiling at each other between times I'd look over. She had a real nice dress on too being that it was New Year's Eve and all. I lost at one point too, just a touch away from beating a major boss, and almost cried. So she knew I had a sensitive side since then 
But it was just a real fun memory with a great game and a great girl I was just getting to know. Such a great time back then. Almost wish I could live it over.
Oh, and also, same girl I got hooked on Mario Sunshine and we had some great days with that. During finals, getting out at like noon and going between that and other "activities" all day was nice. But man, she became real bitchy when she would start dying and I'd have to do parts. Then she'd cry about not being able to do something for herself. Not quite as enjoyable and very frustrating. Looking back I really put up with too much shit at this point.

How about the opposite role? Do you have any idea how annoying it is to be in the middle of an intense boss battle and have the boyfriend purposly trying to get attention by nibbling on your ear?
YOU ARE NOT MY TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW! GO AWAY! Go back to playing WoW and leave me be damnit.
You can't just blame the girlfriends, the boyfriends are just as bad
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Back when Phantasy star online had just come out for the dreamcast....
PSO> any girlfriend i ever had!!!!

Luckily I have a wife that understands that gaming is a hobby turned passion for me. It starts out just having fun but that eventually turns into having fun and kicking ass while playing. You get that satisfied feeling when you take someone down that should've won. That unbelievable shot wile falling, that last turn taken perfectly to win the race, the nice thrown sticky grenade land on someones face .....
All these fuel our addicitions for gaming, and in the beginning my wife didn't understand. She had problem obviously with the time management of it. But then again at the time my wife really didn't have much else going on except work. So all her free time was to be spent with me. I tried the route and had her try all genres of games. The only ones that still stick are classics and Mario Party. So every now and then I'll ask if she wants to play and kick some Mario ass and we'll make a night of it. Even got her into Halo 2 but thats still a work in progress. All in all she has accepted gaming is what I like to do with some of my spare time so all is good.
Obviously if you're still in a new relationship with someone you need to prioritize your time spent with Snake and your lady. If gaming is something you plan on doing for your entire life and this person you are with seems like a keeper/marriage material then you might want to do two things.
1. Let them know how much fun you have with games and that its been a big part of your life. Let them know that you're going to be playing for a long, long time
2. If you want to stay with this person...compromise...compromise...compromise. They know you like playing game but you have to notice when too much of your free time is spent with games instead of her. Sometimes we have to suck it up and use the willpower to fight the addiction of playing Halo 2 to instead spend the night snuggling/makin' tha monkey love with your loved one. These nights are beneficial to you (no shit) and will make your partner much happier.
Moral of my story, I fought back the urge a few times to make my wife happier when she just didn't want to sleep alone that night. And its worked out well for me.

My girlfriend enjoys watching me play WoW.
She also beat a good friend of mine (whos one of the best vf players in america) at puyo puyo with i dont remember it was like 100 to 50 at the end of the marathon. it was the longest puyo session i had ever seen.
also getting super sonic on level 3 in sonic 3 makes me proud to be her boyfriend.

I guess this was a non issuse for my bf and I, as it was settled on our first date. If I had a problem with his gaming it wouldnt have gone past that day.
Him: you play video games?
Me: Yeah, I have a GBA and a Gamecube. I REALLY REALLY Want an xbox tho. I think Im gonna get one soon.
Him: really? Have you seen a modded Xbox?
Me: Why, um no? uh....
Him: So my place is a mess, can I come to your house?
fast forward to an hour later. He shows up at my place with an xbox, PS2, suitcase full of controllers and games. awwww. Im just lucky I can fall asleep almost always, even if he's playing Halo or GTA in the same room as me. Its a good thing he has multiple gaming set ups in his house so we can each be playing our own thing and not fight over a console or TV.

Yeah mine is a ruthless queen at Puzzle Bobble, anything puzzle wise and she will kick everyone's arse - her latest craze being ZooKeeper. Her sister is a champion at strategy games and a few FPS'. Had my arse handed to me while duking it out with her on StarCraft a few days ago and I will probably never live it down.
Other than that, my girlfriend loves watching me playing Zelda, I have no idea why other than the "it looks too hard for me so I love to watch you play it instead" reason. She's also interested in FFVII since I showed her the trailer for Advent Children. Was quite funny because she never knew there was any story whatsoever for FFVII, just that it contained some horrible character models and weird battles.

My g/f has dabbled with video games in the past and thanks to me has started playing again a little more, it started really with Animal Crossing, she got absolutely hooked on it and was always sheepishly asking my if she could play it when we were spending time together.
I bought her a copy of Harvest Moon as well and she's been playing that quite a bit also, we are currently playing through Paper Mario together (swapping at every second save point) which has been fun, it's a little frustrating I guess sometimes because she dies but it's cool because she loves it.
I can NOT play Halo around her, I think her last b/f used to make her sit and watch him play that game for hours and hours on end because she has a really bad association with that game.
She's joined in a MP game of Echoes the other day and didn't do too badly, having never played MP before she found the control scheme quick to pick up and scored herself a few kills, I was impressed.
We plan to move to Japan together in about a year, things can only get better.

Ex got pissed off that whenever she'd come over, she always needed to wait till I found a save point in Shenmue/FF9/whatever else I was playing around that time (early 2001), then when we finally went out, it was to my friend's house to play N64 Smash Bros with a whole bunch of people, then I'm just like, screw her... and we broke up.
My g/f now likes RPGs and simulation games... she's about to beat Arc the Lad:Twilight of the Spirits...
