Discussion: Does it matter to you if your Significant Other plays games or at least tries to play them. And are you like me in which seeing them try just fills you up with some sort of joy.
So the other day I was talking to my girlfriend about the game Fallout New Vegas. I realized that in the past month I had spent over 90 hours of gameplay on it. She called me crazy said I was a loser, jokingly only though. I told her that she just had no idea. The game was huge tons of stuff to do and was incredibly fun. She mentioned that she wanted to see what I was talking about so I told her that she should try and beat the game. Now she isn't really a gamer to say the least. She'll play Black Ops with her brother and any Sonic game, even the bad ones, and some DDR. But when I told her that she'd have a lot of trouble beating the game she took it on as a challenge. I helped her of in the first few minutes today. I told her what stats to use and sort of explained the game to a very un-game savvy person. After about 20 minutes on her own she still had no idea what the compass was trying to do and as much as i tried to explain vats to her she still didn't attempt to use it. She gave up for the day when she couldn't find the flowers needed to get through the tutorial. Though I'm sort of proud of her for even trying to get involved in something that I spend a lot of time on I hate to say that I find it hilarious that she can't even figure out the simplest of things. I'm being very patient with her and it's hard to explain something over Xbox Live chat. I really do hope that she can get the hang of the game and let it be one more thing to talk about.
