Gamer Girlfriend?

Obviously, someone who is able to accept that I'm a gamer is a must. I do know that if I did have a girlfriend, I wouldn't be spending nearly as much time playing games than I do now. Of course that all depends on whether or not my girlfriend is a big gamer or not. 
It's a small bonus to have a girlfriend who games but it's not important. Wayyyyyy more important for her to tolerate my hobbies as much as she expects me to tolerate hers. If my next girlfriend is the type that expects me to sit on the lounge with her watching shitty tv shows, barred from reading or pulling out my PSP during said shows, when I could be doing something far more interesting or at least far more tolerable there will be a homicide.
This is a HUGE plus for me, in fact, it may be one of the main things I look for in a girlfriend (not saying that if she doesn't like games then I'd reject her, it's just a major plus if she does like them). I love it when my friends have common interests, and if my girlfriend has an interest in my favorite hobby, then that's just awesome
However, I like it even more when they don't really play video games, but are willing to learn. While I don't like to brag, I consider myself really knowledgeable in video games, so a situation like this will give me a chance to be the master, a teacher who shows someone the ropes and basics, then move on up until she's able to hold her own against anyone. I've never ACTUALLY experienced this, but I'd love to someday

I does not matter to me if they play or not. My girlfriend does not play a lot of games but she does on occasion give it a go, she has an xbox and does enjoy Fable 2 (not so much Fable 3). However it does mean a lot to me that she does give gaming a try, especially when she does it just to make me happy.
It would be cool to have a girlfriend who was into gaming the same way that I am. Unfortunately I don't get to console game all that much because I don't have much in the way of cash so I tend to stick with my PC which means I only get to experience x much anyway but whatever. The most my last girlfriend played was Scribblenauts.
I'm a gaming enthusiast, a big one at that. It's a shame I can't voice my thoughts about the medium as well as the guys from Extra Credits, but I'm just as passionate about videogames as them.
So to me videogames are pretty important, and while I don't 'require' a hypothetical girlfriend to play games as much as I do, I find it hard to imagine that a relationship could be serious and endure if she wouldn't take my passion seriously.
