Oh yeah, another funfact; My bf and I met each other through a gaming clan. Actually, my first ever bf was also picked up from a gaming clan.
My significant other is as much of a gamer as me, so much so that we both had to buy individual copies of Fallout 3 as we didnt like the prospect of having to "share" time between plays on it's release date.
We even play single player games together, often passing the controller back and forth between levels or when we die. It rocks.

My bf doesn't care for video games, actually, which is interesting because I can spend eight hours playing, easily. Honestly, he's a bigger fan of his N64 than any of the new platforms out, and would rather watch me play than play himself.
We womenfolk game-playing types are out there, I promise!

Yes, I learned today that trying to have anything to do with The Escapist around noon on Wednesday is just asking for trouble.Mariena said:
teehee. This just reminded me of the time my friend and a bunch of her girlfriends got into a fight about which was better: WoW or Everquest.
Mine is a Hardcore WoW player. She thinks I'm a little silly with my Console, but I know deep down she wants to play.
This is because WoW was designed and implemented by the leaders of the top Everquest guild.
WoW took everything that Everquest did right, and did those things. It also took a lot of what Everquest did wrong, and avoided those things almost entirely.ninjablu said:

My wife is crazy for Paper Mario, Final Fantasy, and Animal Crossing. She rules, and I love her so.
Still occupied with high school

Will I be successful?
Only time will tell.

God, I am so alone! *goes and crys under bed*
I have no significant other, but I would prefer if she was at least a "casual" gamer.

Did you go to the moon again or something? I haven't seen you or Jalil for a couple weeks.
My Fiancee plays any MMO with me, console games, you name it. Though she has trouble with the FPS and I have to give her chances to get the hang of it. She plays Guitar Hero with me and anything else I mention. If I'm not home however she just reads, she only plays games with me. Lol. I love my Fiancee <3
My girlfriend plays quite a bit. Not as much as she used to, but she is still a gamer. She mostly likes RPGs and survival horror, as well as the occasional shooter or RTS. She keeps nagging me about getting Left 4 Dead so we can play together with another gamer couple we are good friends with.
My wife wasn't much a gamer when we got together - she had a Playstation and a few games, but didn't play seriously. I think I got her hooked on Simpsons Hit and Run on my PS2, but her tastes were still fairly limited.
Actually that's pretty much where it stayed until she suggested we get a 360. I don't know exactly how it happened. We bought a 360 and this is when she made a commitment to gaming, with no real precedent to indicate why. There are certainly some games she hates (Mass Effect and Oblivion are far too slow paced) but for the most part her tastes are in line with mine.
I think the biggest change came when we were playing the Halo 3 beta via Crackdown.
She didn't like Halo - she'd watched me play it, but that was as far as her interest went. Maybe it was the online factor, that you could play against real people over Xbox Live... I don't know. She certainly hates the campaign, but she loves the multiplayer.
After that she played everything I brought home, and liked most of it - but she wouldn't play RPGs.
Then thatchanged. I still don't see her willingly loading up Final Fantasy 13 or White Knight Story whenever those come out, but she took well to Fable 2 and that became her gateway into Fallout 3 - which I thought would be a frustrating grind for her, but apparently not.
In short, my wife games more than I do, and in some cases is a lot better than I am. It's kind of frightening, considering how much longer I've been at it.
