Ok, either she just loves you a whole fucking lot, or shes spending all that quiet time considering how to ditch with the most spite over your gross negligence. Yea. But im sure she just loves ya ;).

I think we've established that chicks do indeed like video games. They just hate when that's all their boyfriend/husband does when they could be spending quality time playing Super Smash Bros. Melle with them...and then some hardcore sex.

Man my girl friend don't hate games she just hates the ones that suck. We met at a Halo tournament at our local GameStop. She Pwned me in 1 v 1 slayer 15 (her) - 9 (me). She ALWAYS owns me in everything we play. She hates absolutely dreads almost all the games I play like Fo 1/2/tactics and planescape but other than that it's a loving I lose at everything else that isn't Gun Bound when it comes to games. Well I gotta go get owned in CS so see ya!

Girls like multiplayer and deep, involving games. 75% of them are real suckers for consoles while female fans of art-house games (Think PS:T Deus Ex,) are in shorter supply. That's my interpretation of the demographic.

Playing against spouses/girlfriends in deathmatch/whatever can definitely be more enjoyable than going to see some English Patient Chick-Fest. When you're sparring off against the one you love/tea-bag, there's more interactivity between you two.

-I get a whole can of whoop-ass served to me by a female and I still feel great afterwards.
I guess deep down all guys have dominatrix fetishes.

I don't know. I guess I thought ideas like genre-merging and inventory systems were OMG CULT! When it came out, Deus Ex tried something different. It took a small risk in a way.

Oh, I thought you mean in terms of the content of the game and the themes it bears, which is how I'd qualify PST as being arthouse. That other stuff is just interface and game mechanics. Deus Ex is just a game.

I was under the impression that you got owned by everyone and everything, regardless of whether it's in a computer game or not.

All of you shut the hell up. Especially Janus. We all know, or SHOULD know, girls don't play video games. They shouldn't even have jobs. Or vote. They should get in the weed, make dinner, and pop out a few kids.


(Note humor in all parts but one. I'll leave picking which part is not humor up to you, but lets just say it involve... well. Spammers. Like Janus.)
off topic? OMG YOU'VE BEEN CENSORED... yet you're still posting. MYSTARY!!!!

You forgot to add that girls shouldn't be taught to read, either.

Girls don't like you playing video games because they'd rather you spend more "time" with them.

Girls don't like thinking that the only thing you're after is pussy, which is the only thing every straight male is after. It's just a fact of nature O_P

Some girls only want you to be after the pussy. Otherwise they can't stand you.

So funn-eeh is the world.

by the way COD is pretty cool on multyplayer
You are losing it, doesn`t matter, let`s close our eyes and wake up from this dream.....
