I get tired of hearing women say this...To me, they're just misinformed...The average game of today is way too technologically advanced for young children to play...they can play some of them, but they'll get frustrated at the difficulty...I don't see a problem with it as long as a person is still taking care of the other areas of their lives...Video Games take me away from reality...

Actually I think its sexy when a fine girl jumps on the couch and says "I'll whoop yo ass in this game" and we get to playing lol
-
I remember when my old girl learned how to play Madden and asked me if I wanted to play her I was like whaaaaaaaaaat
she wasn't any good but just the fact that she wanted to play made it fun -
I think a lot of women would like to learn how to play, but they're scared that we dont' wanna show them or we don't want them playing with us at all...Actually, its pretty much the opposite....Even my mom wants a WII now...I was thinking about getting her one for Mother's Day and starting her out with Wii Fit.

I haven't been into video games since I was 12/13. I sold my N64 in the 10th or 1th grade. I wouldn't mind trying some of the news systems if I had the money but I'd rather read.

i love video games, but it's mostly girly/cutsy games. i don't like first-person shooters like COD or sports games, but i LOVE anything mario and would die for zelda, speaking of which, i don't know how much longer i can wait for Skyward Sword to come out, i'm so praying it's out by the end of the year. i can't wait til 2012. words can not describe how excited i am for skyward sword, my heart gets happy just thinking about it.
The last Zelda game I owned was Ocarina of Time. Still have memories of that. -
i swear when i get a new zelda game, don't even talk to me for the next 2 months. OoT was amazing of course, but majora's mask is my fav. twilight princess was fun too. and i have all the gameboy and nintendo ds one, out of those, Minish Cap and Four Swords were my fav on game boy and Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were my fav on NDS. i'm really a total zelda fanatic
Majora's was wack. Wind waker would have been better if not from all the damn sailing. -
Twilight princess was ok too.
-
And Gears of War was GOW before ? of War was.

Umm...the only part of that, that I typed out is the first part...everything after the link I posted was copied and pasted... -
Any ? giving you ? for playing video games, just ask her the following questions...
1. Do I pay my bills??
2. Am I able to maintain a job??
3. Am I the one who goes out and buy the video game??
4. After buying a video game, am I still left with money to do something with yo ass??
If she answers yes to all 4 questions asked, then your follwing response should simply be shut the ? up then, I'm a grown ass man. -
