Escapist article today:

A guy telling us about how gaming has interfered with his love life over the years.
Wtf? There is just no way. I just cannot understand this guy. If gaming ever took my life over to that degree I would just stop playing for a year. He might actually be gay and not know it.
And to top it off you know there is worse than this. Much worse.

NASA material right there, boys.
Though I do think he's embellishing his stories for the sake of dramatic effect. A lot. At least I hope he is.

Jesus H, I hope this guy's bullshitting some. Because otherwise he should just kill himself.

It's obviously a joke.
..at least, I hope it is:erg:

What do you mean, "it's obviously a joke"? There be some subtlety up in there that's over my head if it is.

I think the whole thing is just a big self-conscious joke. At least I hope it is.

meh its real and i cant actually say its bad.
i do most of this stuff most of the time.
erase games and put in sports. drop the article on a sports.com (dont even know if such a thing exists) change the tone a bit (from kinda apologetic to kinda proud) and you get "ROCK ON DUDE! WOMAN GET AWAY FROM THE TV AND BRING ME A SIX-PACK" replies. but games? 0h no3$! not games. its abnormal to prefer to play ur just-released-already-preloaded copy of HL2EP3 than cuddle on the sofa with your girlfriend.
before reading the article i thought i was gonna read something along the lines of (
http://www.gamespy.com/articles/718/718428p1.html) "left me for an orc".
what exactly was not normal in this article? Excluding the "i think of games when i kiss you part" which may be true but you should never admit it to a girlfriend.
Guy is doing something girlfriend walks in on retarded-surprise mode and interrupts guy with thing he's doing.
Guys doesnt feel like going out with his girlfriend (prefering something else) but goes on because he doesnt want her to start nagging or whatever. Girl gets the feeling that somethings not right starts busting his chops and in defense he dumps her.
one part is about playing the "love" game of saying the right things even if you dont mean them cause its better to be an agreeing liar than honest. im assuming that the normal thing of thinking when you kiss your girlfriend (at first i wanted to be really graphical here but on 2nd thought i'll just say sex) again wouldnt be the right choice of words. saying that you think of skiing, fishing, masturbating, sunrises, helicopters, crocodiles etc wouldnt be right. the right thing to say would be how much i love you, how lucky i am or something like that. great when you feel it, but most of the time you just dont. unless its TheMeaningfullReleationship.com and i hadnt noticed.
another part is about getting interrupted in the middle of something were the moment is extremely important. getting interrupted when detail-painting your W40k figures, when mashing clay into something of an artwork, when under the hood of ur car all greasy and shit, jacking-off, p
laying a heated 2v2 game with some guys you know are gonna be dicks if you lose to them, trying to figure out a Schrödinger equation for a non-simple atom etc.
and the last part is about not wanting to do something or be with someone on a specific date or time cause you're not in the fucking mood. whats really pathetic is being in a "meaningful" relationship and not being able to get some understanding on your moods. no i dont hate you, im not cheating on you, im not considering a sex change operation i just want some time to play ball, scratch my balls, play with dog, go out with a friend, shoot some hoops, paint w40k figurines or play duke3d over dukester with some friends. yes im sorry that im kind of messing up ur evening and i know you wanted to see me but im not in the mood today. really. i'll be terrible. its better to call a friend and have a better time. i'll call you tomorrow. really. i love you too.
it seems that gaming is really getting the longest dick up its ass. dont really think that dumping a chick cause she nagged about you playing too much football, hanging out with friends or something would warrant "i hope none of you are bad as this guy" threads.
i didnt actually think ttlg members would overreact so bad on such a thing.
anyway im not saying that a guy that gets jessica biel knocking on his dorm door asking if he by any chance knew anyone that could bang her right there and then cause she's all of a sudden soooo horny and saying "sorry no i gotz a raid with my geeld lolz!" is normal. he actually deserves to be pecked to death by rabid ravens and an owl. and a guy making excuses not to go out with his 3-years-steady girlfriend on their anniversary just to l00t some shit on a baal run deserves to get dumped. out of the chemical toilet of a passanger boeing 747. when in flight. but being 15' late on a date because you had to play just ONE more level is whole different thing.
p.s. i'm assuming that in both amy's "not in the mood" and annes "gtfu i'm doing something atm" situations the "gamer" side would be devastatingly won by a blowjob. no man is ever not in the mood for a blowjob.
p.s.2 "and for the first time in the seven months since we started dating
We talk about when our relationship would hit a point where we could start making out"
WTFFFFF?? now thats something not fucking normal. and its not even having sex. its making out. OMFGLMAO.
