How does one find the time. . . by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #10 Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 09:20:11 AM EST

to participate in these types of games? That's a genuine question. As someone who gets five to thirty minutes alone time every day, I can't imagine cooking up the hours required to play a game like this one. Which is sad, because it's exactly the type of thing I'd enjoy doing. There's just no chance I'd ever get beyond penniless guy who lives in a rut alongside a country road in the online world.

I don't watch TV (except maybe 1 or 2 hours a week). Also, I don't go out much. I'm married (with kids) and my wife plays as well. Oh, and I work Mon-Fri away from home, I have a tiny flat near the office, and I don't go out drinking in the evening, so most of my weekday evenings are free.

Ah, that's the secret. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #12 Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 10:14:37 AM EST

I'm married (with kids) and my wife plays as well.

That'd do it. I tried to get my wife started on Civilization, but the game thing just doesn't hold her attention like the TV. So our together time outside the bedroom stuff is usually TV time, not game time. TEKKEN is the only game she can stay interested in, and that only holds my attention for a few weeks at a time.

Sadly, I resemble this statement by houser2112 (2.00 / 0) #13 Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 03:59:36 PM EST

The difference being that Mrs. Houser2112's game of choice was Riven, which I found dreadfully boring. However, while I don't mind watching TV, I refuse to watch a lot of the drivel she enjoys watching. Millionaire Matchmaker, Lipstick Jungle, Little People Big World? gag

does indeed play, and would like to add that she was there for the demise of Illidan!

(ok, that would be me, 3rd person can be so weird sometimes)
