Re: Vile video game wonder-widows
Oblivion - I got a bit lost in that one too. Fortunately it started to bug up after the main quest, and I lost interest.
I'm actually losing it for video games. I have two supposedly awesome games that I have only played 2 or 3 times, Fable and The Witcher. And a good half dozen others that I just couldn't get into. LOTRO - I leveled a couple characters to level 10 or so, and lost interest, despite the nice visuals and Middle-Earth theme.
CIV4 with Nimoy would probably destroy me, but I don't like the look of the graphic style and have avoided it.
It started a couple years ago. Unless it's really, really good game, I don't have time for it. There's a lot of mediocre out there with nice graphics.
Your husband is probably already limiting himself at 4 hours, lol. Sitting around knitting probably won't help. You need to follow your own interests/talents. Although some planned time/outing together is a good thing, it's not quite fair to complain about one partner's interests, while having none of one's own. Enjoy some free time. And maybe ask for 2 hours gaming on weeknights. Pick a show to watch together, something. Humans love rituals and routines.

Re: Vile video game wonder-widows
No, sadly I don't have my own dog. And those my parents have are much bigger but just as naughty.

^Nice, I never thought of that sort of thing! -I think I have my homemade decoration-gift-idea now! -thanx
You see: I expressed a tired old cliché that no one takes serious and that states the opposite of what is known to be true -and the joke is on whomever originally stated such a thing
-they didn't have any with gravy though

This whole thread disagrees with me (just take a look at the OP or indeed the (original) title) the post you quoted is what is widely known as a joke.That's simple: video gamers are lonely boys sitting in their parents basements.
Nintendo and their ever increasing bank account disagree with you.

Re: Vide game widow
The only reason I'd ever buy a console is for either its blueray player (PS3) or the ability to play multiplayer games with friends (like on the Wii for example). My computer-gaming days are kind of past me, ever since I installed Linux. I also haven't upgraded my desktop in five years. Ubuntu comes with a rather nice Mahjong game though
Board games, those are cool.
The squirrel is hibernating, but he'll be back once he realizes I used his nuts to make a nutty flavoured pudding..

Re: Vide game widow
I recently played Mwahahaha!, a card game of Mad Scientists and Global Domination. You assume the role of an evil genius who builds a criminal empire and constructs a doomsday device with which to cow a trembling humanity. But you're not the only one with grand machinations. Other players rival you for absolute mastery. He who completes his device first and collects the highest ransom is declared the winner — and ruler of the world!
I thought that'd be up your ally
Oh god, who plays monopoly. What a boring game.

Re: Vide game widow
Is it kinda like Munchkin? I can understand Munchkin, in fact I always win against my Husband. I'm kinda ruthless when it comes to card games I guess.
My toes are about to fall off thanks to this -10 F weather (with a windchill putting it at -32 F).

Re: Vile video game wonder-widows
I agree. There is a serious lack of good two-player co-op games. I would love to play co-op more often.
Hey!
Some of us are lonely men sitting in our own apartments, thank you very much.
Wait...

Re: Vide game widow
No. In Munchkin you acquire items and encounter monsters. In Mwahahaha you acquire tokens (red/green/grey/yellow) which you use to power up your doomsday device (which you get semi-random) and threaten a city/state/country/world. You can also use your tokens to buy cards (minions for example), that defend or enhance your empire. The game allows you to attack other players as well or steal their resources.
Re: Vide game widow

Re: Vide game widow
Well like Munchkin it quick to set up and fairly easy to play. A game doesnt take too long either.
I saw Monty Python fluxx at our gamestore this weekend. I have to get that too
. Too bad we cannot play this online.

Freaky coincidence - I'd never heard of that before I saw it on sale in Forbidden Planet while I was buying my comics today.
