Stop playing games and go out in the real world and do something together. I only play games when I'm single or my girlfriend is at work etc. Real life is superior to any game. No one should ever let the real world disappear behind ones and zeroes.
Gaming problems with my gf.

No, you're not. I mean, "I don't enjoy giving/receiving oral sex" might make sense.. but he's *opposed* to it? LOL. Ahhh, good times..!Duffeknol said:
I think there is a difference between camping and "strategic waiting", but if it was for 90 seconds, that's camping. You could tell her that her criticism/advice makes you uncomfortable, though I really think you should just let her teach you. You did say she was better than you. I would *love* to have your problem. I am drastically better than my wife at video games, and it would be nice to have the tables turned for once.
1. Talk. To. Her.
2. You're seriously doubting the wisdom of advancing your relationship because of a game? The fuck man.
3. You admit she's better than you, yet you come to a forum and complain that she's talking too much, giving advice, and calling you out on your bullshit.
4. You were camping. No-one gives a shit what synonym you use for it, you were camping.
5. She sounds too good for you.

I think "strategic waiting" goes right up there with "strategic retreat."
The first is still camping and the second is still running. Also, from this end, sounds like you're a little jealous of your gf possibly being a better gamer than you. Although, realistically, it's probably that she's just backseat gaming the hell out of you and nobody likes that.
My advice, tell her to play her own game or say this is how you do it. If she doesn't like it, hey, she doesn't have to watch.
Edit: seconding, tripling, whatevering what everyone else is saying. Talk it out and don't let the resentment build up or that is gonna go off in your face like a balloon full of fart.

...Sorry. I just... Haaaaaa.
Maybe she's right, dude. Seriously, if it comes down to it, you need to play a game, and then the loser can stew in some playful taunting for the rest of the weekend.

It sounds like she has an active interest in the same game you like, calls you out on inconsistencies (which shows a good deal of honesty), and there isn't actually a problem.
Some gamers like that girls don't like them gaming, gives them something to feel persecuted about, others can't get over their preconceived ideas about what a girl should know/like and feel threatened when a girl steps out of that, others are just looking for problems where there aren't any, if it is one of those or something else if you want to stay with this chick then get over it, stop being all neurotic, and appreciate the fact that she puts up with you.

Woah woah woah. That's really quite a rude thing to say.Psykoma said:
She is better than me on Call of Duty. I only break into the top 3 if i'm having an extremely good day, but more often than not am in the lower half of my team's scoring chart.
That's not the point. The point is i enjoy playing the game. Her telling me to do things her way is annoying, and i'm a little worried that now that we are living together it might start to happen with other, non-gaming related things.
Like i said, i just needed to vent, and it helped me to write down my feelings even if a lot of you have just been utterly rude.
"Strategic waiting?"
Wait... SO ITS CAMPING?
So yeah... your gf is right, imo. However, the getting pissed over an ACOG on a smaller map is really dumb.

Well, there's your problem.
OT: Just don't worry about it - CoD playstyle is not something to have a fight over. Do you have cold feet for other reasons?
Anyway, i decided to tell her how i felt. She was cool with it, but can't understand why i insist on using ACOG sights.
We are going to do the one on one match too, where she thinks she will "school me" on the correct way to play... and she's probably right. But if i win while using my ACOG scoped Enfield, she has agreed to indulge a particular fantasy of mine that involves her dressing like Mad Moxxi and taunting me with a megaphone.
I should have probably just spoken about it to her straight away, but like i said, we just moved in together and i didn't want to rock the boat. I like her a lot and don't want to mess things up.
I appreciate you all hearing me out, and thanks for the advice.

Yay! All's well that ends well... And assuming you're not joking about that Mad Moxxi thing, you are one lucky mofo.Charm Offensive said:
Just out of curiosity, was there some condition for if (when) you lose?
The problem is that the oral sex isn't being performed to Jamie Hyneman?Kahunaburger said:Charm Offensive said:

Or is the problem that the oral sex isn't being performed by Jamie Hyneman?
"OMG, killed again by another fucking strategic waiter!"
how many times have we heard this?
If this is what your first fight is over, and you have a nice girl who is interested in your hobby, then you should be giving people HERE advice champ.

Can I have your girlfriend please? My wife thinks I'm stupid for playing games. (Just fucking wait till the zombies come, then she'll be glad of my training)
I love gaming girlfriends!
My girlfriend just called me on the way home from work asking if I wanted her to, and I quote, "Pick up snackies for Zombie Killins."

I'd say there is, but 90 seconds is either sniping or taking a bathroom break.The Grim Ace said:
Wait... What?Charm Offensive said:
Men who don't give oral sex to women, deserve to be married to their lefty. Just saying.
ps. Yes it's a really big deal, really really big...its huge, huge as in no amount of love or emotions will make up for it ever.
That sounds like a well-thought out and most viable solution so far. Apart from, you know, talking to her about it. I also wish my gf would take the time to at least watch me play once in a while, and see this 'magic' of gaming that I experience everyday after work. (Corny, yes, sue me). But co-op play is the best invention since the g-string. The feeling of mutual success with a close buddy against seemingly impossible odds is hard to top (again, sue me).daftalchemist said:
Oh, and sorry that 'strategic waiting' doesn't seem to fly so well here. In an objective based map or match type, the only people allowed to camp are those who have just planted a bomb or are defending the objective from the other team (HQ, hostages, flag etc). You aren't supposed to camp when you're the attacking force, at the very most you can get away with is 'setting up an ambush' for someone who forgot to press the walk button.
