- Jan 27, 2007 2:11 pm PTOkay I am having serious girl trouble right now.
She is not a gamer and sick of my 360, so today she has finally given me one last ultimatum: its either her or the 360. She basically wants me to get rid of my 360 and all its games for good. 
I have tried to get her into playing games with me but she suffers from bad motion sickness, and even when I bought her Viva Pinata for our anniversary I was the one ended up addicted to it playing marathon sessions way into the early hours while she was asleep. The addiction got so bad that when we were together making out I couldn't get Fudgehogs out of my head. I was always thinking about the best ways to get my Pinatas to romance, so in the end she accussed me of buying myself the game when that was not the case.
Has anyone else suffered like this or been issued an ultimatum, and what the hell can I do (btw she is fit)?Okay I am having serious girl trouble right now. :( She is not a gamer and sick of my 360, so today she has finally given me one last ultimatum: its either her or the 360.

- Jan 27, 2007 2:13 pm PTMy rule is as soon as I am given an ultimatum, the person giving it to me is outsky..quik and simple. To me, if someone really cared and respected you, there wouldnt be an ultimatum issued in the first place.

If she loves u, and u love her, ud also like or love their obsessions, or constant endevours, your just doing what most to all guys do, play games. And if theres a guy out there that doesnt play games, how do you live? mustnt have much of an imagination.

dude, it may be the fact that you're playing way too damn much.
Maybe you should cut it down and give her sometime. There are ways of not giving up the 360 and still giving her what she needs. Do you not have a single ounce of romance in you? I'm sure you'll figure out something. Do something really nice for her. Women need care to dude. You need to balance out the two, not show all the love to your 360 and no love for your girlfriend.
I manage to split my time fine with my girlfriend. I rarely ever play around her, and if I do that's because i'm in a gamerscore league at the moment. Once that's over, she's probably going to get most of my attention. She gets upset from time to time that I won't talk to her because i'm in the middle of a game or something, but I do a lot of great stuff for her that she always forgets about it.
Like the other day, I bought her a giant valentines dog as an pre-valentines gift just to keep her happy from time to time.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I'm wondering, the ones who say choose the console.. have you ever been laid or are in a relationship currently? Who the hell would choose an electronic over a female? You must be mentally ill honestly. Video games let you indulge into fantasy, but seriously if you choose a console over a female you're insane.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

- Jan 27, 2007 2:24 pm PTIf she can't stand you playing games and you love to play games, then its time to dump her. She's not the one for you. Any girl that says you can't do what you love to do with your free time isn't worth being with. My wife hates how much I play games also. I usually only play when she's not around and limit my play when she is there to short amounts. We came to an agreement, she still wines he and there but she's learned to let it go. Its give and take, I hate when she watches those stupid reality shows. So for the most part when i'm around she doesn't watch them. Bottom line though, unless you have some serious time commited to this girl (like your engaged) then its time to dump her.

lol, i'm not saying he has romance for her. I'm saying doing something romantic for her. To cure a negative, you have to make a positive. Women love that mushy gushy corny stuff. That's a pure and simple fact. The fact that he's thinking of viva pinata while making out with his girlfriend is showing that he has gotten a little attached to his console.
He needs to leech away and properly submit time to the console and the girlfriend. Doing something nice for a girl like twice a month goes a long way. Believe me. Then when she shows off about what you've done for her to her friends, then the friends become envious. And then the friends say they're jealosu which means what? SCORE!!! Which will probably open up more gaming time. It's a great cycle.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

When Google epic fail, Gamespot is your real friend.
Just tell her if you give up gamming, you lose half of your soul. Thus, she will only get a half human half zombie creature.
I don't think it is possible to give up your X360 if you are thinking of Fudgehog while making out. If you love her more than X360, you would think for her and not play as much. But in your case, it seems like you value gamming more than her. Thus, dump her. If you don't love her, dump her, don't waste her time.
