If by Fallout you meant the original Fallout, then I would say all is good and let her ride out the addiction.

Fallout 3?

The only solution is to introduce her to Fallout 1. If she likes it, then you propose. If she doesn't like it you drop her ass.

If you're not able to do basic shit or do things with your SO that's a problem impacting daily life and the relationship. It's not "lol cool she plays games you're so lucky."

Pretty much. I'm not going to the level of "this is life destructive addiction" but it would kind of suck to be her BF

No man you don't get it. It's a girl. That plays games. A girl that plays games! FOR WEEKS. WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE. How cool is that?!?!?!?!

You know what's really hot? Lacking in nutrients. Man I love a woman who is completely deficient in all vitamin areas because she can't take care of herself. Makes me just want to lick the Cheeto dust right off her hand.
 
I try to talk to her about it, but she just make Jerry Seinfeld style jokes about creatures in Fallout "Whats the deal with these super mutants? What makes them so super any ways?". Oh, and she always has the Fallout soundtrack on if she finds herself doing non Fallout related things.

Holy shit this is amazing.

I hear you, though. I dated a girl who was obsessed with L4D and Borderlands. She lived in a college town with a ton of awesome places to walk to, but all she wanted to do was sit in her room and play games. I bailed out ASAP. This sounds like it'll pass, though. Some games do that to people. I ignored a relationship I was in when I got Fallout 3. Did it again when I got into Skyrim. They get boring after a while.
 
all those gf breaking those systems come to mind. would be funny seeing the genders reversed

make a video op
 
As much as I think cooking is a sign of healthiness, she could be eating pre-made salads for all we know. Lets not jump to outrageous conclusions.
 
She tried going passive aggressive on you for your inattentiveness to her by giving you a taste of your own medicine, but ended up getting addicted to the game.
 
OP has nothing to worry about, Vegas was nowhere near as good as F3.

This dude knows what's up.
 
the obsessive compulsive 100% completionism is kind of worrying. And yes it sounds like she's doing the whole 'video game escapism' thing. What has happened boyfriend, in her life so recently, that could have brought about this change?
 
I would talk to her about it. But don't nag. Nobody likes someone who nags a lot. I mean, that sounds like a kickass girlfriend to me, but you and I have different values.

This is what I have to come home to during the holidays. A mess and no food.

I don't mind her playing games a bunch, but she's way too hooked.[/QUOTE]

creep pic but must say you gotta a catch there on the looks, talk to her like an adult about it instead of asking neogaf.
 
Make sure you hide Skyrim and New Vegas for at least the next 6 months. I don't think i'd still be alive if I could have played them back to back.
 
That's a messy coffee table. Also, you should've stashed the pipe before taking a picture.

But you have a pretty girlfriend.
 
Just talk to her about it. How close are you two that you haven't talked about it yet?

Also, to the people saying posters " simply have to be dying of thirst " need to chill lol, collect more data and then get on your high horses.

E: Also, Salsa killed me.
 
Its good when the roles are reversed. Us men can then see how pathetic we actually look when our entire lives revolve around video games. I used to be the guy that spent every possible moment I could gaming and regret the time I wasted.

Those saying "just talk to her", "tell her its affecting you". Seriously? I am sure there are more than a few guys on this site with similar addictions, when you that into games it feels like its not a problem. Noone can tell you otherwise, she will just (hopefully) one day realise that there is much more to life.
 
Tell her it's time to get to do wimmens work and get to cookin' and cleanin' and birthin' some babies. That'll fix her.
 
Ok so, a few months ago, I got really into Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I played the shit out of them, but always did so on my own time. I'd always mention to my girlfriend how blown away I was by the games until I finally finished playing them.

So a couple weeks ago, she randomly started playing the game on her own. I thought it was neat cause I could talk to her about how great the game is if she ended up getting into it.

Any ways, she's become a monster. All she does with her free time now is get high, and play Fallout til she goes to bed. She's well on her way to getting 100% in the game, and I will admit she had quite an awesome character.

But still, its been weeks of this now. I come home from work, she's just there stoned playing Fallout. She doesn't talk to me all night, never cooks any more, we don't go out for walks or dinner, just Fallout, Fallout, Fallout. Worst part is knowing how pumped she is for New Vegas.

I don't know what to do. I feel like the redditors wife meme. I try to talk to her about it, but she just make Jerry Seinfeld style jokes about creatures in Fallout "Whats the deal with these super mutants? What makes them so super any ways?". Oh, and she always has the Fallout soundtrack on if she finds herself doing non Fallout related things.

Some times, I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and hear Three Dogs voice. Its the worst shit ever.

Guys, I don't know what to do. Please help.

This post is fucking hilarious and the god damn irony is killing me. Starters, you got into Fallout 3 and New Vegas. You avail your positive experience to your significant other and how much you enjoyed it. But it's always during your free time? Okay. Do you live together? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your girlfriend never said stop playing Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

So a couple weeks ago, she randomly started playing the game on her own. I thought it was neat cause I could talk to her about how great the game is if she ended up getting into it.

Oh look at the cute girl playing the big boy videogames. I shared my interest in this experience and she reciprocated by trying to experience this thing I myself had heralded it to her as a great thing. Most girlfriends would be like videogames are stupid, I'll never play them. Okay, I'm way out of line with that, but congrats? Your girlfriend sought to explore your interests?

Any ways, she's become a monster. All she does with her free time now is get high, and play Fallout till she goes to bed. She's well on her way to getting 100% in the game, and I will admit she had quite an awesome character.

At what point did weed get introduced into the relationship. I need to know if you are like straight edge guy and your GF is pulling bong hits all day. If you smoke up too, it's not a valid complaint. You've also described every relationship wherein the guy is the guy playing videogames all day. It's just ironic.

But still, its been weeks of this now. I come home from work, she's just there stoned playing Fallout. She doesn't talk to me all night,never cooks any more/, we don't go out for walks or dinner, just Fallout, Fallout, Fallout. Worst part is knowing how pumped she is for New Vegas.


Unless you have kids, cook your own food. That's not part of the girlfriend/boyfriend relationship contract. I just find this shit funny because most guys are you usually on the opposite end of this equation.
 
Yeah somethings up, check to see if she's not cheating. Under no circumstances should a girl just pick up an open world game by Bethesda and start playing it. It defeats logic, space, and time.

except Skyrim, but only Skyrim.
