Sorry to hear about that DaedHead. I'll give you a topsauce in my recap today.
You're good people. Hang in there, and best of luck finding a new place!
Sean that sucks to hear that you and your girlfriend didn't work out man. I would offer up some words of comfort, but I know shit like this just sucks! I wish you the best of luck in rebuilding your life. Stay strong man!
So, she's available now right?
I'm sorry, that was out of line. I'll show myself out.
Dang shipero you're a dick.
So, is she available?
Also, an ex of mine got me a PSP for my birthday one time. I made sure it was a gift FOR ME. Makes it easier to keep that shit. I'm sorry for your loss though. Sucks about the girlfriend too.

First time I've smiled all day. I love all of you. But I love Mr. Sadistic just a little bit more. <3
@Takeshi
=P
Sorry broski. Shit like that can be hard. Stay positive.
Fuck man that sucks but at least from the sounds of it you didn't have it end that badly(The actual break up not the whole no place to sleep). This always cheers me up on a bad day so ummm... Do whatever you do when you got nowhere to live.
Having also had a shit day, I recommend listening to The Beatles to make it all better. <3
I'm not certain which sucks more: losing the girlfriend, losing the apartment, or losing the Wii.
Well, good luck with everything.
Sucks dude.
I don't know how appropriate it is to fap to this article but I did.
@mkshiranui
As Mr Vanor has made abundantly clear today, losing the Wii was the obvious worst loss.
Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, we'll alway love you.
Oh and I'd probably go for the HDTV first. Otherwise you'll keep putting money into more games and it'll take longer to get.
Use the money to go out and party. Find another girl, another distraction.
Damn, sorry dude. That sounded like a match made in gamer heaven. I would go with a better TV first, you can survive with the Xbox for a bit. Plus you can, you know...watch TV and stuff on it.
Like Falinter, I will fap this article not for its content, but for its author.
Dude I'm sorry.
I hope you're able to cope, but considering how much support you're getting from the Dtoid community, I'm sure you're able to see that you're not alone!
<3 LOVE YOU MAN!
Allow me to quote Kilowog of the Green Lanterns by saying that "Its the gettin' up again that matters poozer". Sorry if that sounded a little nerdy but expect a fap from me.
You're gon b k guy! Shit happens, we've all been there and it always gets better. Sounds like you will miss the consoles more than her anyway, so maybe it is for the best. ;)
So... I would head for the TV first. Nice TVs make everything better. Also, take a break from the ladies for a while and don't jump right into another relationship. Just focus on a little personal gaming and DaedHead time.
That sucks man, but you'll be fine. Good luck getting your stuff back together.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear about that. Good luck though!
Better now than a few years down the line, eh?
You should save up money and get a kick-ass TV during the Thanksgiving sales. Hopefully it'll mmake it easier to save up for the PS3.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. This is why this community rocks. I knew I could count on you all.
@GoldenGamerXero
Awesome clip! And yeah, we're trying to be civil about everything. We're both hurting and we both still care about each other, she's just not happy and wants a change. I'm willing to give her that change, as much as it hurts me.
@Mag
Yeah, I feel hollow inside but I know I'm not really alone. I'll be able to cope.
@Steel Squirel
I moved out of my parents house at 17, I had a girlfriend then who I kept all the way until I was 20, when I met this last girlfriend, whom I've dated ever since (I'm 23 now). In other words, I've never been living on my own and single at the same time. Quite frankly, I'm kinda excited to see what it's like. The bachelor life sounds appealing.
However, I'm too much of a social butterfly to ignore the ladies completely, it will be a long time before I'm ready for a real relationship though.
Sucks dude, sorry to hear it. You'll be alright though, no worries.
Shit man sorry to hear about that. Luckily videogaming can be a strong comfort in times like this, maybe you could ever get a hold of some retro consoles for that SDTV of yours :)
Stay strong man.
So the girl that I am currently engaged to has been living with me ever since we found each other. I've never lived with a girlfriend before but this is my third relationship to last over a year and a half. It just happened the way it did and it was perfect. Sounds like you need someone more meaningful, fuck that bitch anyway. It's so lame when chicks pull the "You don't make me happy anymore." bullshit. You'll find someone better soon enough just hang in there. Hope you find a nice place and try to make the best of this situation. If you want to play Borderlands some day when you're all settled in to wherever you end up you should hit me up. My Gamertag is Affinitia.
Sorry to hear about that dude, hopefully things will all be on the up from here.
@ DaedHead
Hey man, I feel you on that one. I was with the same girl for almost 10 years. From 16 to 25. Was even married for a few of those years. I'm 28 now and enjoying the single life quite a bit. There's plenty of time for serious stuff later. It is crazy being out there on your own after being with someone for so long, but it is also pretty damn exciting and fun. You're gonna have a real good time, buddy. ;)
Ouch, you lost a girlfriend, a PS3, and a Wii. Well if it makes you feel any better, I've never had any of those things......
Bummer...
But to answer your question, consoles first then focus on the HD upscale.
It's ok, there's room in my cardboard box or you, I'm usually in the back alley behind the nice hotels, but tonight I'll probably be staying in the public parks bathroom. So... see you tonight?
Seriously though, good luck finding a place! Studio apartments aren't that bad if you're by yourself, so don't worry about it.
@Steel Squirell
Thanks man, it helps a lot to be reminded that not only have other people gone through what I'm going through, some have been through way worse.
@Grafkhun
Studio apartments are ok, I've had one before. But I didn't have two cats back then, and it's them I'm mostly worried about. A studio apartment would drive them nuts. =\
All I need is a kitchen a bathroom and a place to put my vidya games. I'd be all set in a studio if it weren't for the kitties.
That sounds like it hurts.
If you need any help, you can count on me.
So uh, is it safe to say it was the videogames? I know she said you didn't make her happy; would it have killed you to have let her play Zelda that one night?
Would it?
I'm glad my girl doesn't give a shit about games.
Ah heartbreak. It's the fucking worst.
Listen to this? Maybe it will help put things in perspective?
One thing I can tell you for sure is that being a good looking, good natured, single guy at 23 can lead to some pretty god damn awesome times. Things may start feeling more fun for you sooner than you think.
At least, I hope so.
Wow... sorry to hear that!
All I can say is that if it's not going to work in the long run, then you're better to move on to find that person that you know you'll be with for the rest of your life!
It doesn't make things any easier right now... but you'll be happy you are single when that "right" gal comes along!
@Holmes
Thanks, I'm listening to it right now. It's kind of depressing but also kind of comforting. Especially the part where the girl talks about how breaking up is one of the most common things in the world.
You'll be alright. Breaking up sucks. My ex and I were together for 6 years when it happened and it took a minute (read: ~778,000 of them) to get over it. Time is all you need bro. Also, I recommend the HDTV first, because SD gaming is bollocks when you've been spoiled. Since it's the more expensive of the two things you need to get, you'll suffer more while saving for the TV, but get to enjoy it while you save for the PS3.
Break in and do great justice!
I've been there.. Tough break, mon. :o/
It stands to reason that you will find someone who is more caring & concerned about you instead of being a selfish#@*($@($@* the next time.
Broken wings mend it time...
The HDTV(s), PS3 and Wii are hers. Ouch. Credit card time!

Is the sad tale of many a human heart.[/i]
Sorry to hear things didn't work out for you and your lady.
You'll be good bro, there's many fish in the sea and chicks love a dude that's good with technology. Either that or there's plenty of hot video game ladies to fap to. :)
Just start saving money, and then impulse buy whatever you need further down the road. Though a nice HDTV will make-a the video game ladies much more fappable!
So if she owns the apartment AND the HD-TV(s), it's fair to say she's pretty well off.
Can you disclose what she does for a living? I'm curious.
My condolences. Remember you are better off in the long run though. I cast my vote for saving up for ps3 before a new tv.
Sorry to hear that man. Break ups blow. Get consoles 1st, whats a good tv without something to play them on ;)
Reading the comments in this blog and listening to the new Podtoid were the only times I cracked a smile today. Destructoid fucking rules. I love you all. <3
@The RPGist
I don't think I should disclose that because she doesn't do anything and she lives off of a trust-fund her grandfather set up for her. Whoops.
Haha... nice last comment there DaedHead.
Let it all out!
Looking at all of the negative things in one sitting can really make you feel like you dodged a bullet. Also... there sure are a lot of damn trust-fund kids these days.
A case of beer, a cheap hooker, and about 48 hours of gaming and you'll be a new man. Good for you, man!
;__; sorry to hear that, I hope that you get things together and I hope it all works out for the best~
getting the sweet TV would be best first since you never know how prices can drop randomly :3
