About Me
I own a 360, Wii, "Special" Xbox, a hardcore PC I built, and the software company I work for has a GoldenTee Machine and Electronic Dartboard in the break room. I am not sure if I am hardcore but I check Dtoid about 10 times a day and post while I am talking on the phone with customers because I need t be doing more than 1 thing at a time or I will go crazy. I don’t really hit any other game sites but I do check out Digg, The Onion and CollegeHumor at least once a day to see what they have going on, man I love those sites. I mostly play FPS's because there is always someone that is better than you and it gives you something to stride for, as opposed to platforms that just drive me crazy where you have to not get lost, pick up a key, jump on an impossible ledge and figure out how to unlock a door or something, man I really hate those games. I mostly like online multiplayer because of a constant need to measure myself against other, also AI is no match for a 15 year old. Anyways, I am a huge sports fan and play on 3 different softball teams, anyways I am hearing myself in my head and I am sounding like a douche with all this so I am stopping. I would give this description 4 out of 5 meh's

Anyone else make the mistake of introducing their wife to Poker Smash?
CarlostheJackal | 9:38 AM on 02.13.2008 6 comments



I think I have created a monster. Let me start from the beginning, my wife is not a gamer, or at least she has not been in the past. At time I have been able to get her to play games like Tetris, Yatzee and recently poker. As a child she played Mortal Combat with her brothers and she was never able to figure out any special moves, there for she would get waxed by them all the time and I think it turned her off to games in general. Some how I got her to start playing poker, thus opening up the opportunity for me to play more. Then some how I found out she liked Tetris for what ever reason, I could not understand how she was fascinated with a 20 year old game but what ever, if she liked it, it made me happy. Then last week I made the mistake of introducing her to Poker Smash on XBL. Now I have to fight with her to get on the Xbox to play Call of Duty 4 because we only have 1 hard drive and 2 360's. Now I figure the only way to fix this issue is to either buy a new hard drive for the other 360 or hit her on the head and hope she forgets about the whole thing. My question to you is if anyone else has been down this road before of introducing their significant other to the world of gaming then having to deal with what comes with it?

Currently have lost gf to Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo HD Remix. She chose an extremely girly PSN name just to make all the people named DeathKiller69 feel bad when she beats them.

I guess you are right BahamutZero, I guess if she is playing Poker Smash in the other room I wont have to worry about her trying to get me to watch 1 Tree Hill with her :-)
