How to Stop Your Girlfriend From Gaming

You know, maybe I haven't looked around the internet enough, but I found this fun piece pretty refreshing! I've seen pretty much the same concept executed for the exasperated girlfriends of gamers, but so rarely the other way around. Girlfriends who game have been around for awhile, and I guess the internet's sense of humor is slow to catch on to that concept. That probably explains why there are still wii-ner jokes in the comment threads.

Me: That's going to be you and some lucky boy someday.
Friend: That's you and some lucky boy already.
Me: Aww, thanks!

Regarding the article itself, I think I'm safe for now. My guy and I almost always play games together, and recently, it's been his copy of Portal and our own copies of Lumines II. Healthy dumbass gamer love! However, I wouldn't want that cake for my wedding, but it looks like a badass birthday cake. Less than three weeks hint hint!

Man. I kept saying to myself that I would avoid posts centered around gender, and it's only my third post. Ooooh weeeell.

Why anyone would ever want to stop their GF from playing games, I'll never understand.

My Ex-GF was a gamer, and she would kick my arse at mario kart and soul caliber on the gamecube all the time.

It was great.

LOL!!
Is great, but is not going to happen, my gf hates only one of my hobbys, gaming.

the 360 section of cake should have had a RRoD to make it more realistic...

It was a funny article, I like that one of the solution is to lie to your girlfriend about side effects of gaming. You could always link her to one of the now many articles about gaming making her fat.

She might also never want to see you again, defeating the purpose!

Two more episodes after "Day of the Black Sun" have aired in Canada, and there'll be a couple more in the coming weeks. Man, Nickelodeon, what the hell? I thought us Yanks got priority!

I'm in the states and want to watch it on my huge TV rather than youtube...so I'm waiting. DoBS was the last episode I saw. I've accidentally read some spoilers. Sigh...Just rewatching old episodes to hole me over.
