You know what's really Immersion breaking....?

Dr. Dave Bowman · Nov 30, 2015

My Wife rocks.

X55 for christmas last year.

4K monitor this year.

She knows where I am, she knows the bills are paid on time, the kids fed n clothed, she can get what she needs and I dont drink, I do smoke, dont do drugs and work from home, so if the kids are sick she doesnt need to take time off as I can look after them.

Plus my 6 year old sone loves watching my play the odd game on the PC when I am not working on it. ED and WOT are his two favourites as he likes to watch "Daddy blow something up please!"

All in all everyone's happy

Have you noticed how it is always "your" daughter or "your" son when they are doing something they shouldn't?

Totally!

The wife tapping me on the shoulder.

I must be the luckiest man in the world! The only interruptions I get from my wife are: "Dinner is ready!", "I made you a cup of coffee", and all good things like that. The worst thing that she does to interrupt me, is ask me for a kiss if she is leaving the house.

Just buy the wife a copy of the game and send her to Hutton Orbital

Sending my mother in law over to you for that comment, i just spat my coffee everywhere as i was reading it.... trust me you will now have to face the wrath of the most nagging woman I have ever met...

Stewart Forgie · Nov 30, 2015

I'll just wear my tinfoil hat and deflect her nagging

Now i know whats in those cryopods I scoop up. It's your wives.

I drink rarely, do not smoke and I provide very well for my family.

But that is not enough for most women in the west. You gotta help and give companionship as well. That is just the way it is.

Uh huh.... but do you know where she is going?

Hello there

Gamers? With partners? Tsk tsk tsk. What has the modern gamer become?

Me? I'm a single 80's geek an proud of it.

Oh wait, I'm also terribly lonely...

So, feel free to send all your wives to me where I shall lavish love and attention on them as they deserve.

If your S.O. is a guy, no problem, I'll happily provide man snuggles too.

I'd miss elite, but in the choice of a partner or a game, I prefer the snuggles of ladyflesh.

Probably the use of words like ladyflesh is part of the reason I'm single.

Oh well back to elite and my weak lemon drink.

.....my wife!!!!!

She's all "Clean the yard..." or "take out the bins..." or "can you get that thing from the attic..." or "where did your daughter get those matches..."

I mean, I am the Commander of a spaceship. I don't have time for menial jobs, like cleaning, or making sure a 3 year old doesn't set herself on fire...

FDev, can you please sort out my wife.... this intrusion to my immersion is completely unacceptable.

With bit of training...

"Clean the cargo bay!"
"Jettison the toxic waste!"
"Can you get the blah blah blah from the hold?"
"Where did your daughter get hold of that C3 plasma accelerator?"

Z...

Probably people mis what they do not have.
For single people a partner. For couples freedom.

I think I'd rather nagging. I don't tend to get any nagging. I get 'the look'. It consists of a half smile and patronising eyes. Normally comes with, "are you being a spaceship again? You get those aliens good!".... That makes me go from a top bounty hunter no one wants to mess with to a little schoolboy in seconds!! Nothing is more of a buzzkill quite like it :'(

Do what I did and divorce your wife. Problem solved.

Added bonus: it sets a useful precedent for Girlfriend 2.0 to take notice of.

Help your wife, then there is still time for computer games.

Simple, isn't it!

My husband always helps me with any chores, that way we both have more time for gaming and being together

This thread is funny though - I've been cringing, eye-rolling, and laughing out loud!

My wife loves to play video games but sadly not ED.

So I get:

Turn the noise down, a dwarf is talking to me!
Put some music on so I can sing along to it (She won't be on the X Factor anytime soon)
Can I have a drink please?
Lets go shopping
Time to tidy the house
Do the washing up
Change the litter trays
Feed the cats
Make dinner

Always when she decides these things need to be done, I have no say!

If I suggest watching a movie, she agree's, then takes 30 minutes to complete her current quests, 30 minutes to hand them in, 30 minutes crafting and of course the 30 minutes checking Facebook... By this time I am bored of watching TV and ready to have a play again...

Can't live with em but wouldn't want to live without em!

Luvu lots like jelly tots dearest!
(Just in case she reads this!)
