Poll: Ever turn someone into a gamer?

[blue heartless]

It's my resolution for the New Year to get my girlfriend to play more games. She wants to, but she doesn't have an idea of what she likes. I'm lending her all of my favorite games currently.

Does convincing 3 people to buy 360's count?

Wooo, NWN? Do you even WANT to see your friend again? Not that another BioWare fangirl is a BAD thing, mind you... Especially a "thirtysomething" one. See? It's NEVER too late. (See my other post for proof)

She HAS to come back here...*SHE* doesn't have a unit that will play Mass Effect. Muahahhaaaa....
Is it bad that she actually lies to her husband to come and play video games with me? LMAO. We were roomies for about five years back in university...her hubs didn't approve of me then, either.
*loves being a dirty little secret*

Bad? No. Hilarious? Oh hell yes...

Hubby:"But you're honour, she... She... She was CHEATING!"
Judge:"Mr. (insert name here), there is absolutely no evidence that your wife was cheating."
Hubby:"But, but your honour she was always at that woman's house playing games...
Judge "Exactly. And as I just said, there is no evidence even suggesting she was cheating."

(Insert rim shot here)

My Girlfriend, slowly but surely. The videogame crack of mario galaxy was a good place to start; Then she finished Portal (having never played a pc game before, and I only helping for 1 or 2 fiddly jumping bits near the end.)
*wipes tear*
So proud...

Now if only I could get a Team Fortress 2 addiction aswell...

I got an wide variety of people addicted to the original sims game when that came out way back when, should that count for anything.

My brother. Starting with Sonic 2 on the Genesis

I got my cousin obsessed with Timesplitters.

*Nods*....I'm slowly turning my 30-something housewife best friend into a BioWare fangirl. *snerk* She comes to my house to play Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and I just sent her home with NWN because I'm evil....

No but i did turn a person i met online to reading fanfiction. Aren't I an evil bastard. XD

Vile. VILE!
(I shall never forgive the person who got me to start writing the stuff. *sobs*)

whoops i forgot to mention this same person has also started writing fanfiction as well xD

I got my dad into video games and my baby sister into Dungeons and Dragons. Sorry I accidentally sabotaged your social life, kid.

I did that too. She used to refer to me as her nerdy friend; now she writes gay video game porn. Oops.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Yes. Short and sweet.

For what i've done probably not...

I think thats more than a oops more like why the hell did you do it XD

Well, it was kind of an accident. I didn't exactly realise telling her about the existence of fanfiction would cause the response it did.

[small]But I'm selfishly pleased; now I can be like, "you know what would be hot?" and maybe a week later I've got a shiny new fic to read, so... :3[/small]

Heh, I turned my best friend into a gamer...
Well, I haven't seen him much since he went to a different college.
I still need to get some of my games back...

 

[Ildecia]

[TheJwalkR]
