First of all, I'm sorry.

I came here with a high degree of enthusiasm, blinded by the shinning ads and insightful comments on gaming... but I don't know what happened... I think I lost the way (Plus, Exam Season IT'S NOT OVER YET) Huh, an MGS reference on my C-blog? It can't be!

So, you'll have to excuse me for my long absence from the site. Duty comes first, then it's time to chill out.

Let's get this show on the road. Today's topic: Gaming and Relationships, Do they work together?

To talk about this issue, I'll like to prove my case with a little story coming from my own life.
Let's rewind the tape to 2005. I was just in my second year of college, getting ready for the big jump in life: On the field testing for the career I was studing back then (English Teaching). So, my personal life was focused on the tests and academical stuff... That meant, not much of gaming time and zero romantic involvement with anybody.

That, until one day.

The sweetest plus hot girl on my college was there on the cafeteria. Lucky me, an old friend from school knew her and introduced me... It' was love on first sight.

So far things where going well. We shared the usual stuff (movies, long walks around the city and such). But when it came to our personal tastes and hobbies, we were always clashing. Though we shared pretty much the same things there where to many differences also. One of those, was related to gaming. For her, playing around with a videogame console or a PC was just a waste of time.

For me, it's the other way around. I even tried to show her the sweetness of online puzzle games but no... no response on that.

Fast forward to 2008. I started studying a new career (Technical Administration on Tourism and Related Activities). That meant, new classmates. Luckly, there was a lot of gamers on the crowd, some of them hidden between the layers of books and some others, well... totally proud of their "gamingness" XD

Then again, love struck a chord. She was not a supermodel, but in the real world, who is it anyway?! And there she was... a DS on her hands. Instant love.

He began dating for a while but then differences put us apart (The all time debate of PS2/PS3 VS XBOX/XBOX360 thing)

So I learnt a lesson. All of us gamers want to date a gamer chick. Trust me, it does not work.
