Relationship ruiner.

Discuss.

Video games aren't supposed to be in higher priority than calling your girlfriend or boyfriend, right? That's just lame.

Moved to Relationships.

It belongs there a bit more than Technology, IMO.

Anyways.. I've known a couple of people who have done that. I don't think a game should be a bigger priority than your friends or signifigant other. But sometimes, it may get in the way. But I still don't think it should. I hated being less important than a game.

Thankfully, my boyfriend games but I'm still in his top 3 list. I game too actually, but he sits higher than games.

I've known girlfriends who got mad at their boyfriends for gaming too much. I mean..games are fine. They're relaxing. But I don't care how much money you can earn or what skill levels you're at, or what boss you're at or whatever, it's REALLY rude to be told that you're second to a game.

Relationship ruiner? I wouldn't put it as that...sometimes me and my boyfriend would play the same game and we'd talk about it and strengthen our bond. But when it becomes game > person then yes.

I distroyed my boyfriends copy of WOW along with igonring him for 2 weeks because he stood me up at the movies because of the mother f**king game.

lol my boyfriend doesn't play WoW, but he plays CounterStrike. i don't really like it when he plays instead of talking to me, but then i get to thinking and i realize that he's most confident when he's gaming and it makes him feel good so i just let him play. i'd rather not bother him. then theres the fact that i game a lot as well and i play alongside with him :) hehe. ehhh, that's just me though. =]

hahahhahaahhahahaha

I know this guy that fell for WOW instead of his g/f.

But my boyfriend plays WOW, and he is way more devoted to me than WOW, of course :)

i play WoW over the summer with my boyfriend so i dont have to worry about THAT videogame..hahah. he also, like many other guys, plays counterstrike. i dont hear about it much unless i ask him what he did that day. he also just got a ps3 and has been playing that a lot lately...but only when we're not together or talking, so i dont mind. it doesn't affect our relationship at all really.

grrrr
i hate how some guys use WoW as an excuse to not be able to go out.
i guess some guys can control their gaming time but when guys choose a game over you, it gets just plain stupid.

thankfully, it hasn't happened to me with a bf before, just with a guy friend.

Yeah for me the problem isn't that he doesn't call me, it's that he's distracted when talking to me. I hate having to repeat myself 5 times and when I say "never mind just forget about it" he gets angry.

I play WoW too. Actually, it's MY account he plays on. I don't have a good video card so I put it on his computer. I'm such an idiot.

He promised he'd uninstall it after having a huge fight about it and he didn't. Today he had the balls to play it right in front of my face. So I exited it. And he got all angry and said "we're over!" which is pretty rash, but I'm rash too, so I slapped him twice and nearly walked out the door, but he held me back.

I hate that motherf**king game.

He also had the balls to tell ME that I'M the one who's rude for exiting his precious game.

Seriously, I don't mind if he plays a game, because we usually even play on his XBOX together,... just don't let me get mad over it.

I really think you just need to show him how it feels but ignoring him for a while.Thats what it all lead to when my boyfriend had his WOW problem.
Should another fight breakout over this.You need to bring up the fact that he never gives you the atention you deserve,that he lied to you about uninstalling the game and that he disrespects you by playing the game and getting involved with it when he should be spending time with you..Overall you need to give him a Ultimatum its either you or the fagbag game.And if it really gets ugly then unfortunaly YOU need to be the one to say its over because that would suck to be seriosuly dumped over WOW,like Borat killed Kid Rock and Pam Anderson's marrige...

Heres a girl in a similar situation.

Some of the advice given was actualy really good.

^2
wow... that sucks.
i'd uninstall the game from his computer, fast.

Priorities.

"Does it love you back?"

oh gosh, that game, i swear. Most of my guy friends are sucked into it. Luckily my boyfriend isn't. Whenever we go over my friends house, he just sits there and playes WoW. They're always like, you should play it! I'm just like, sorry, I have a life.

wow robbi. i'm so freaking sorry. omgs. i would be so angry if Thuan ever did that to me while i was visiting him. jfdlsfjs ! lol :P

cs ruined my middle school year.. got addicted to that game joined a pro team... had scheduled scrims and shit. i stopped studying, doing homework, talking to my girlfriend, and friends.

That happened to one of my friends' friends once. The guy kept playing a game instead of going to his girlfriend's school performance. I don't know if they broke up or not, but a game should never be more important than a person.

-cough-

Jeffrey?

I don't have any experience with this, but I know people who are way too obsessed over gaming.

Definitely.
My ex used to talk to me on the phone, and all I'd hear is the sound of the keyboard...I lost him to WoW.

Hah yeah I know what you're talking about. My ex was OBSESSED with the game...I know what you mean about the talking while distracting thing Robbi...it's a pain in the ass.

YES BELIEVERS
My boyfriend is so obsessed with RO. He doesn't play other games... except Freecell and mental games and such.

We occasionally have periods where he pays way more attention to RO than he does to me, but it passes and we're fine. I still hate that game though.

^ I LOVE RAGNAROK!!

Weird, the games good and bad in a way...

Weird in the way that my whole family including myself got addicted to it, eventually leading to "online affairs" and my parents divorce... yet I met my current BF in the game and we've met eachother in person for weeks on end & been going out for a year- never been happier.

Argh. Well my boyfriend plays WOW, and the LOTRO. Sometimes he's like 'I'll talk to you at 8' cause he's 'too busy' playing his game. It does annoy me sometimes, but I have to learn to give and take.

Nowadays he's different. He says I'm the most important thing in his life, so .. I'm happy with that (:

I'LL SHOW YOU PVP, BITCH

I SHOWED HIM PVP!!

He lied again after that huge fight in which he promised not to touch that game... I found out from his younger brother that he played that day.

So I changed his password.



I hate liars.

What, on this thread and talk of Ragnarok?
I hate the game as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.

... I'm a Shakespeare nerd.

You go, Robbi. Just destroy that damn game.

I got extremely upset with my boyfriend a while ago over him spending all his time on RO and then saying he didn't have time for me anymore... absolute bullshit. and he realized it too after a day or so.

lol, bump bump.

Michel should take a look at this thread.

I don't really have a problem with WoW. It does annoy me a tiny bit when I'm in the middle of talking to someone and suddenly, they've disappeared to play their game, but meh, whatever.

Games in general did annoy me last year when we had a PS3 in our lounge. Whenever I made plans with a guy, I'd walk out of my room and see him hooked to the TV. And then, of course, it'd be another hour before we left to do anything.

Wow really old thread bump. I think some people need to realize that they have a problem. If I have anything planned I'll just leave WoW, or atleast plan to leave at a certain time.

I know a bunch of guys that play it. One of them dropped out of school bc of it i think. He's stupid and wants to be an electrician and decided he doesnt need to finish school to do it.

THey just got my boyfriend's friend to buy it. THey've been bugging hime forever. As long as my bf doesnt get start playing IDC

My boyfriend has luckly gotten over WoW except he's getting tempted (maybe) because of the new expansion pack.
However, me, work, school and family have definitely taken over his life right now.
But before, i know what all you guys mean man. I hate repeating myself.
But I hated it even more when I willingly would come over to his house but after an hour over he'd be glued to the computer "checking things" but ends up playing for like 3 hours.
I'd love to walk out but then he got f*cking pissed. what the f*ck. Hate that shit man. Play! but not when i'm there or at least let me not be f*cking ignored and let me go home.

"if you want sex, don't buy him a playstation"

Why, everyone asks?

Average Female Blood Elf:
Always looks hot.
Can't cheat on you (wtf)
Never complains, and can fight. Does not false advertise: you can't get with this.
15 dollars a month to manage her account.


Average IRL Female Human:
Not always so sharp...
Can't fight, and complaints cannot be understood.
You MAY be cheated on.
False advertisement: You can get in this (Truth: maybe on your birthday)


Movies: $80 a month (Tickets $10 each, $10 for each popcorn/pizza) x twice a month
Dinners: $100-$200 or more a month (You have to go out at least 4 times a month, dinner for two = $25 to $50)
Birthdays: $50 - $400 (Depending on the quality of her maintenance)
Any social outing: $25 - $200 (Gotdamn Midevil Knights)


You can save 80 percent or more on your wallet insurance by switching over to Warcraft.

Personal testimony: I saved 300 dollars this month by switching to Warcraft. I bought my family Christmas AND Chanukah's presents! Holy Crap! Next year, I'll be able to afford Kwanzaa as well! I don't even celebrate Kwanzaa! Awesome!

I play WoW, but my boyfriend doesn't.
He plays Warcraft III, LOL.
So when he plays that, I ditch him for WoW.
:b We're such nerds.

Oh goodness. I remember when my boyfriend was in his WoW phase. For two months that's all he did. He quit his job, he stayed up all night, he slept all day. I was insanely bored out of my mind. It got to the point where I couldn't take it. Thank god he finally got bored of it one day and decided to unsubscribe. What a nightmare.

what level was he? i'll buy his account. how much? Give it to me, naoooo.

I have put craft aside for finals... believe it or not. But come thursday evening after my last exam... insane Crafting.

You never know what she's doing when you aren't logged on.

I resent this comment.

I can get it even if its not my birthday?

Craft is taking over me, and unless someone rescues me, I'm doomed. I seriously turned down a date the other day to keep on playing, but it was that overkill-pda girl i was trying to avoid.

Don't do it!! D: It's not healthy. When I was overseas for two months, the only thing my boyfriend would talk about over the phone was WoW.

After I enlisted I was like "Oops, no time for this stupid piece of crap" I had a 70 and a 60 and sold it for monies

This game is fun as hell though, bar none; A quest to kill 10 murlocks is way more entertaining then a quest to buy my girlfriend food and cook her dinner

But what's worse is that a lot of people blame the game for their behavior IRL. It's not like the game goes "SIT THE f*ck DOWN AND QUEST" and the game throws hands out of the monitor to restrain you.

There was a guy in our school that played WoW and damn near failed his tech course and was on the verge of becoming Motor Transportation

I still know a guy back at home who continues to play WoW to this day and is just fat as hell now

So either you're girl-whipped or you're vg-whipped. Your turn

I payed asian people in singapore to raise my character to 60. Thats how bad it is. Cept it never got there cause blizzard changed the account password within 3 days. Btchs. I'm doing better now though...

New addiction: http://www.chictopia.com

There's much to do out here; so many interests to explore.

I fear for your soul...

what server do you play on >_>

I still don't understand how people can be so overwhelmed by this game. It overtakes their lives and no good comes from it.
