For those of you just joining us....

Our OP, Marion Cobretti, came forth to GAF with a sad tale of his domestic woes. It seems his girlfriend recently discovered the joys of the five-year-old videogame Fallout 3. She has become so enamored with the game that all she wants to do with her free time is smoke marijuana and play the game.

Needless to say, GAF was aroused-- in their interest of why the OP would find such a thing to be a drain on their relationship. Marion explained that she never cleans or cooks anymore, and rarely wants to talk. He later provided some clarification on what was originally perceived as misogynistic mouthshittery.

Guys, I don't mind cooking for myself, but she used to always cook. Cooking is something she loves to do. She's been into games before, but Fallout has just taken her to a whole new level of love. I haven't seen her this into a game since Snatcher or Symphony of The Night. But even then, she's obsessed with Fallout.

But it still seemed kind of mouthshittery-esque. To prove that this whole thing wasn't completely made up, the OP provided photographic evidence that he had indeed been in the same vicinity as a young woman playing Fallout.

But the descent into this realm of ridiculousness continued.

I sat next to her and asked her if I could speak with her, and without looking at me she said my speech level was not high enough.

She's just obviously just in marathon mode.

So I finally managed to have a talk with her before I went to bed last night. I shouldn't complain. She does have a job, she takes care of her shit for the most part, she's just super into the game. She herself even made the point last night that she hasn't been this into a game since PSO.

I ended up just spooning her while she played. I eventually woke up to the sound of Three Dog again, but whatever, at least I wasn't alone this time.

All the while, GAF debated just how awesome this is.

Now, will Marion's girlfriend ever give up Fallout? Will she give Skyrim a try? Is Marion furiously masturbating to Victorian English literature as we read his thread? Do women indeed be shoppin'?

Let's find out.
 
Dysfunctional relationships are great if they involve videogames, is what I have learned from this thread.

Significant other has no interest in participating in anything with you? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!

Significant other doesn't talk to you? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!

Significant other hasn't interacted with you at all for weeks? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!

Significant other slacking off in the household? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!

Significant other isn't bothered by how neglected you feel? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!

Significant other has no problem letting you fall asleep literally holding her while she obsesses over something you just talked to her about? Awesome, she's playing Fallout!
 
So she does have a job. That was the only thread I was clinging to hoping that you weren't just being kind of an ass as I started reading through the thread.

"i come home to no food and a mess!!" OH FUCK BRO!! Why haven't you started slapping the shit out of her yet!!!??

It's your fucking house. You want it clean, pick some shit up. You want her to help? Turn off the TV and say "Listen we are cleaning this shit hole up for 10 minutes and then you can get back to murdering mutants. But you pass the sticks in 30 cause fucking A it is my turn you damn Humphrey (bogart)"

Treat her like a human maybe?... christ.

Man, so I just got home, and she was super excited to see me. Turns out that she wasn't excited to see me, she was just excited to tell me about what went down in Fallout. She got a dog, which I had no clue you could do. She's all super pumped about it. She's definitely all in at this point.

Any ways, I dunno, she seems happy, so maybe I should just let her be. Maybe I'm just being selfish for not letting her have her random binge with a quality game.
 
If she works at an animal shelter, I can understand why she'd be hyped about a virtual dog. It's a cool feature (even if he's kinda useless as a follower, think I left him to guard my house).

This is one of the most amusing advice threads of 2013 for sure.
 
I don't get the appeal or non-appeal. My gf spent 3 months over the summer pretty much just playing Animal Crossing on 3DS. We did do some stuff together, we took walks, watched movies. But it was definitely on the unhealthy side. We stayed up all night together side by side, me playing a good video game and her playing Animal Crossing. I guess it was pretty awesome. Nevermind it is just awesome.
 
A: Learn to cook so you aren't so dependent on a women.

B:

Just accept that Fallout is now a part of your relationship.
 
drugs are illegal, definitely call the police. She shouldn't bringing that shit into your domain, just gonna attract a negative element.

How much interaction do you both have when you are both home? Is it really none at all or are you exaggerating cos if you are not what you describe would be a nightmare to me.

I laughed.
 
OP will come to realize he missed the times he could actually do stuff by himself while still in a relationship once she finishes Fallout and she's all over him again.
 
Haha, once taught Carcassonne (XBL) to my non-gamer SO and she became addicted for at least a week. Guess what I'm getting her for Christmas?

😉
 
did anyone notice that poor PS3 with almost no ventilation in that small little media cabinet?

that thing is going to overheat and blow up any day now with that constant use.
 
A page or two ago someone mentioned the TV being neck shatter high ... and I haven't been able to get not look at that picture and feel terrible for this girl going through her first binge in such an inhospitable gaming environment.

She's gonna come out the other end of this tunnel with a resentful, spite fueled man and a fucking slipped disk.

Haha, I can see how this attitude can get aggravating but it sure is funny from where I'm standing.
 
OP is going to be getting a BJ when he looks down and it isn't his girlfriend anymore. OP is in shock that he instead sees 3 Dog saying "Hellooooo, Capital Wasteland! This is Three Dog, coming to you loud and proud from Galaxy News Radio", but as if he had something in his mouth.
 
You are never going to see your girlfriend anymore after she starts playing New Vegas. Just make sure she plays it on PC and gets into modding.

You suck at Fallout.
 
GAF dream spouses are nightmare fuel. But hey I guess it's enough when they play a videogame because videogames make dreams and good relationships come true!

I can only feel bad for the OP and say that you guys need to work on your communication skills (if this all is even true, sounds too ridiculous to me).

You know, I never really believed in the alpha vs beta shit, but man, if it were true, this is beta.

Addiction can be a rough thing though OP, for real. I don't have a suggestion for you, but good luck. I hope this blows over for you.
