  14. Marriage and Gaming : I do?

    in General Chatter

    Posted · Edited by cyclops

    I disagree.

     

    My life after getting married is lot better than the one before getting married.

     

    When I got married, I was sick with a disease that could have turned out to be fatal...thanks to my bad lifestyle.

     

    This was a reason why we got married in a hurry and then my wife took care to see that I live.

     

    The biggest change in my life after getting married is that my wife take care to see that I take good enough breaks in between my gaming so that I eat at proper time.

     

    My wife...keeping me alive literally and figuratively :thumbsup:

    For the thread:

     

    IVG ID : cyclops

    Gaming stuff I own : iPhone, PS3, PS2, PSP, in 2 minds about a PC.

    Married since : November, 2009. We are together since August 2006.

     

    How does your spouse feel about your gaming time?

    She understands that its something I'm passionate about and is completely ok with it. I just have to help her in the kitchen when she is cooking which is max once a day 4-5 times a week.

    Does she think those gaming figurines would come in handy for the kids to play with?

    We don't have any plans for kids as of now. So can't say much here. But the general rule in my house is - 'Don't f**k with my gaming stuff and I'll let you live'. This feeling is reciprocated equally.

    My wife doesn't let anyone touch my figurines. Even the maid in our house has been told not to go anywhere near my gaming set-up.

    And the money spent on this passion, how does she feel about it?

    This made me go rofl. My wife bought me PS3, PSP and iPhone. She insisted I buy 46 inch LED instead of a 40-46 inch LCD. I've about 140 ps3 games and 100 blurays. More than half of them are bought by my wife. About 20-30 of those 120 games are bought by my wife. When my wife went to US for a office trip, She got most of my CEs as CEs were not available in India at that time. MGS4 CE with artbook (the artbook was really hard to find), Arkham Asylum CE, DMC4 CE with artbook(again the artbook is extremely rare), Resistance 2 CE to name a few that she got for me from US. Whenever I am stressed because of work, my wife gets me a game or bluray. If I'm sad for some reason, she'll get me a game or bluray. If she wants me to drive her to some place, she'll buy me a game or bluray.

    You might think I'm lucky. :P

    But then again I got married to her because I knew what kind of person she is and how she feels about my passions.

    My wife hates Microsoft and so the 360. She has forbidden me from going anywhere near a 360. Also she is a big fan of Apple and Sony. She loves watching movies on the bluray. So we don't go to theaters. We wait for the bluray to release and we watch the movie at home.

    Awesome Thread there Piper. I am gonna be a regular on this one.

     

    I have some questions to the Married ones who are also passionate about Gaming.

     

    1. Do you encourage your wife to play some videogames with you?

    If she did not play games even when she sees me playing them all the time, then she doesn't want. Why encourage her to do something she doesn't want to do.

     

    2. Would you be happy, surprised, thrilled or scared if your wife also became a member of IVG?

    I'll be the same.

     

    3. Do you encourage your wife or share her passions say may be, Saas-Bahu serial, Or Romantic YRF movie Or Cricket, Or Bhartnatyam Dance Show etc..?

    Well if our passions did not match or were too different, we would not have been married in the first place

     

    4. How many hours in a week you devote to your Gaming?

    Depends. If there is a game that is so immersive then I can spend the whole week playing. For instance, I played Mass Effect 2 for more than 80 hours in the last 4-5 days. I played Castlevania:LOS for a week for 15+ hours everyday when it released.

     

    5. What are three things you wish your wife would understand about you and your connection with Gaming?

    She already understands what I want her to.

     

     

     

    Here you go Agony Aunty. Your guide to be a good wife to a gamer.

    And here is one free tip - Keep buying lots of gaming related stuff for him all the time. At least it works with me and my wife.

    Thanks :)

     

     

    Yeah that was my first reaction, but the whole circuit board is sealed with screws, theres no separate battery compartment. Might have to open it up and see.

     

    khol ke dekh...battery nahin hoga...pakka

     

    btw...the lights don't start blinking immediately i think...wait for some time and see...or may be if its solar powered then might take some time to power-up.
