This.Probably not true. I stopped believing your little story after she listens to the soundtrack all the time and you waking up with threedogs voice.
Nice Try.
That's a joke from Fallout 2's stand-up comedian. Sounds like she's both an addict and a plagiarist.
I don't know why people are automatically assuming playing a game a lot until you 100% it is suddenly an addiction that people have to worry about. Have you really never gotten so into a game you just wanted to play it until you've done everything? It happened to me with Gears Of War multiplayer. I didn't need help and wasn't depressed, I was just having a lot of fun playing a game until playing the game got boring.I never thought I'd see so many people just hand wave addiction like this.
Sounds like a keeper. Seriously though, just have a chat about it.
LOL Addiction and neglect is totally cool guys! Nothing like someone taking things close to an extreme where they neglect their bodies, responsibilities, and relationships, but since its vidya games HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND!
OP, maybe your girlfriend is depressed and this is how it's showing itself. Have a serious conversation, take things slow. Don't say YOU CAN'T PLAY AT ALL. Try to wean her off.
or bang her from behind and marry her like people are saying.
us gamers right?
is she employed or studying full time? If not, get her to find a job, and if she refuses, dump her. It's not worth it, and to be honest, a grown woman playing 4-5 hours a day of videogames is lame.
Always high and hours of Fallout?
Sounds like she's depressed
From what you have written, it sounds like a classic case of addiction. Probably because she has deeper fulfillment issues since it sounds like she doesn't work and really only waits for you to come home. She needs to get a job or some hobby outside of gaming. Honestly she isn't a stone's throw away from an MMO addiction which can be tough to shake.
It's easy for GAF to pretend that game addiction is not a big deal but for people who live unfulfilling lives it gives them a chance to escape and not think about their deeper issues while they play.
Don't let it slide OP.

Brilliant diagnosis, Dr. Armchair.
I wish my girlfriend played video games.
over the years I've bought her:
Nintendo DS with tons of games.
PSP with tons of games.
we have a Wii, with Mario Kart, House of the Dead and other 2player games.
I've bought extra controllers for my Xbox360 and PS3 so we can play the few co-op games available.
And, nothing.
I say you should marry your girlfriend and have a Fallout-themed wedding.
I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm saying it's probably not that serious and if she's enjoying herself and the worst thing thats happening is the house is messy and he has to make his own dinner for a month, then he's over reacting. He doesn't own her and he doesn't get to tell her what her duties are.She's playing the same game all day. She is getting high the entire time. She is neglecting her duties around the house. She is neglecting her partner.
How is that not addiction? How is that a good thing??

Wait until she plays New Vegas. If she prefers Fallout 3 to it then kick her to the curb and steal all her weed.

He already said the girl has a job at an animal shelter. She's not just sitting around all day.Feel like I'm the only person in this thread who feels frustrated for OP and does not see this as a humble brag. Sucks having to come home to someone who's high or drunk all the time and doesn't do shit but sit around all day.

OP went to talk to his girlfriend and she didn't look at him and said "your speech levels are not high enough."
