3 accounts in same house. Need intervention

[Lovely]

So my hubby and I recently got a roomate. We needed some extra money, and had an extra room, so one of our good friends moved in with us AND got a WoW account.

Now, we are playing more than ever, and are leveling alts together. Much fun having three computers side by side and playing together. Mmmm.

The problem is, we're all suffering from "too much WoW" syndrome.

Last night, while leaving to pick up our roomie from work, I looked at my husband and almost said "Light be with you." I actually had to catch myself to not say it.

Then my roomie was talking about giving change to someone at her work, and asked her customer if they had copper!!

I'm thinking we need an intervention....hehe.

<3 this damn addictive game.

[Xeran]

Hahaha ... yes. My boss and I were talking technology and about putting things in databases. We decided it would be a good idea so I said "database for the win!" I was shocked that I actually said it.

I'm thinking at some point I'm going to take a reality check week off from WoW. Once I hit 60 with Xeran. probably.

No WoW.
No forums.
No TN Gazette (though I <3 you all)

Just real life for a week. Maybe I'll take a RL vacation too and go somewhere.

[Alucian]

*raises hand*

Four here.

:D

[NorthFace]

I seriously need to find a significant other who games as much as I do.

...

On second thought, no, I don't. I would never get anything productive done. I still have illusions of the day that I will be able to kick the habit & focus back on my carreer and attaining certifications. Maybe once I've got full tier 2 and a respectable feral set... but then the expansion will be coming out! ONOES!

[Soraxis]

My friend got pissed off at me because I talked too much about WoW...he said I couldnt talk about it for 10 minutes, I only lasted 6 minutes 34 seconds before I bombed out :(

[clys]

(( So I'm sitting at my computer playing Oblivion. Been sitting there pretty much all day, playing one game or another. Spouse comes in, sees me there, and says "Did I tell you today how much I love you?" Then we proceed to talk about games for the next 30 minutes. So to all you poor folks who have spouses that don't like gaming, I have only one thing to say to you:

PWND!

:)

))

[Fhenrir]

I don't carry my in character habits to real life (since it's RP! It's not me!). However, I -do- find myself taking out of character speech patterns to real life with me.

"pwnt", "For the Lose", and "Roffles" are all things I've found myself actually say to friends and family. Thankfully my friends usually know what the hell I'm talking about. Family on the other hand... :roll:

[Karkarov]

:p Goofy bums. If anything I dont talk about games, at all. Only a few of my friends play WoW and I might talk about it with them sometimes but thats it. I am not exactly mr social hour though I truthfully dont like talking about myself (or my hobbies) hardly at all. I have played one mmo for over 7 years now and truthfully only like 2 of my friends even know the name of it.

You make me want to re-roll horde so I can gank you. Every day. Untill you log.

Most of my friends complain now that all I talk about is this game. I think I'm getting a bit obsessive. Real life just doesn't... have that ... frostshock.. to it anymore.. Not sure how else to put it.

[Nadea]

Lucky for me, thats all we talk about (games that is) =D


So everyone out there..find someone who games, it keeps you sane (or...well, insane, as is the usual case) :O

[Kurohane]

*raises hand*

Four here.

:D

QFT.

Oh yes, and our household ALWAYS using net-slang in conversations, and 50% of our conversations around the apartment are about WoW.

Usually because at least ONE of us is online when we're home. >_> Ok, usually at least two... three... Geh. We're addicts.

[clys]

We have more WoW accounts than people in our home. :)

[Danyxandra]

Between Clys and I we have four wow accounts (three active) and 3 EQ2 accounts (two active). Two of my daughters, a son-in-law, a daughter's live-in boyfriend, and two foster kids all game with us too.

On the other hand...this family doesn't sit for hours and stare numbly at the tv everynight like most hometown Americans. We just choose to find our nightly entertainment somewhere that is commercial free and requires interaction rather than self-hynposis.

And yes, I do love Clys insanely and we're still talking about the games and our RP storylines late at night like a couple of giggly teenagers in bed when we should be getting some sleep for work the next day.

[Fhenrir]

Real life just doesn't... have that ... frostshock.. to it anymore.. Not sure how else to put it.

If I could use Mortal Strike in real life I'd never play WoW again.

[Tyrsza]

My hubby and I are both huge, huge gamers. A typical conversation (from this afternoon when we were on a two-hour drive) :

Real life stuff: 3minutes

How everyone else on the road sucks at driving except for us: 15 minutes

Games (Oblivion and WoW): 1hour and 42 minutes

>.>

We don't watch tv... I only watch it for one hour every week, less if my show is in reruns. I havent gone to the movies in ages... I think this is much more fun (and cheaper... I saw the price of movie tickets the other day and nearly dropped my drink 8O ).

Oh, and I agree that having partners to level up with is the most fun. My hubby and I are playing our mains exclusively together (till we ding 60 that is) and I find playing a character by myself just isn't as fun.


I do say WoW terms in real life, all the damn time. :oops:

[Pistos]

hehe Lovely you should try having LAN parties, I tell ya there a blast, not just WoW, but other multiplayer games like Call of Duty 2 and such. God I own so much at that game.

Oh ya... Oblivion... wow awesome game, beat it and I'm just too good for that game.

We used to do that with Quake 2, but it was just the two of us. Still, it was fun jumping into a deathmatch and being able to coordinate. I was a pro with a super shotgun and could take out anyone....I just bounced like a Night Elf and then blasted em point blank....hehe.

[Abric]

Posts like these make me feel good about myself; because then I know whenever somebody tells me I play "too much", I know it's not true.

...

God help me if I live with a gamer girl, though. I'd have to start flexing my e-peen around!

"Hey, look at this! Look at this! *Flex* Glacial Blade, baby! RAWR!"

...

One account, and going to stick that way. I miss playing a dwarf - but not 14.95/month miss.

...

Why am I posting here!? I got Kingdom Hearts 2 to play!

DAMN YOUS!

[Soraxis]

Epeen is FTW abric...you shoulda heard me on TS yesterday...we were pulling up to hakkar and the channel was quiet so I was just talking to myself a lot about my leetness in one form or another, Lorog got sick of it and I think I seriously caused a mental breakdown there. Most hilarious thing Ive heard ever

[Nadea]

Heheh, its funny, when Ker and I go on dates, we *always* end up talking about what/how our characters are doing RP-wise. We like, discuss how they feel and talk about thier relations to others and what we're probably doing next. And we talk about this stuff *in depth* for a good amount of time.

Geeky, no?

I enjoy every minute of our conversations about our characters, though I think some people think we're nuts when they overhear us on the T. =D

My daughters had LAN parties at the house before they grew up and moved to their own apartments. Half the teens that would show up at those LANS were girls, not 20%, HALF the gamers that had wires laying all across my extra living room were girls.

[EnheilRas]

That wasn't a LAN party

That was a Slumber Party.

I was in a PUGG (http://www.pugg.net/).

We would rent out entire Dorm Mess Halls. Hook up 50-150 people up. Our events were even sponsored by BAWLS (http://www.bawls.com/)

[Danyxandra]

They did that too, but they went to the Portland Convention center. Admission was $25 for the weekend pass. The arena was full of male AND female gamers.

And I don't call 18 teenagers in my house a slumber party. Smokies had to nix the little delivery car and bring our pizzas in a van.

[Nadea]

My daughters had LAN parties at the house before they grew up and moved to their own apartments. Half the teens that would show up at those LANS were girls, not 20%, HALF the gamers that had wires laying all across my extra living room were girls.

I was usually one of the only girls at LAN parties... (and still am, when we actually have them)

Not that I mind, of course xP

[NorthFace]

You people are actually starting to make me feel... I dunno. Sad, I guess? Trust me when I say that if you are a gamer, and are simultaneously also a heterosexual female, you are a minority. A treasure, if you will, heard about only in legend, and encountered only by the luckiest few.

For example, the LAN parties I host at my house? www.coloradogamers.com

ENTIRELY.... MALE.

The SPLAT LAN I go to down in Colorado Springs? splat.uccs.edu

You guessed it. All guys.

Not that I don't mind fragging guys any less than I like fragging girls.

Wait a sec, that last sentence came out sounding wrong.

ANYWAY... yeah. You make it seem like girl gamers are everywhere. Either they're not, or I have no idea where to look. Maybe I'm just too old to go to the places you have to go in order to meet these types of people... but at 26, I at least don't consider myself old. = /

The funny thing is, I'm like... the perfect guy... from what I've been told/have read, anyway. I'm not trying to be narccistic or anything.. but let's look at the list of credentials here.

A) Own my own house.
B) Above average income level
C) Stable employment
D) Good set of moral values
E) Tall
F) I CAN COOK. zomg.
G) Free technical support.
H) Intelligent enough to hold meaningful conversations (at least i like to think so)
I) Family-oriented.
J) The Anti-Drug (Hate taste of alcohol, can't stand smoke of any kind, needle-phobic, not to mention i'm a complete control freak when it comes to my own state of mind)
K) Non-violent

So yeah. Double-you-tee-eff.



**NOTE** I apologize in advance if any of this really does come off as a bit conceited. I usually try to be pretty humble... but hey, you have to focus on the good stuff. That's where confidence comes in.

Plus, It's 11:30 and I've been up since 5am.

[Pistos]

wow I know Northface. :lol:

[Abric]

What gamer girls don't tell you is they are typically more crazy than normal girls.

... and more evil. Don't trust a lady who can think and speak complete sentences.

Chances are it'll be the death of you.

[Tarlithion]

Never trust a lady that can beat Kingdom Hearts II faster than you.

Or speak in clear, concise sentences. They will definitely be the end of you.

Hell, for all that I can be a gamer girl.

...No? Too far? Thought so.

[Karkarov]

Uh yeah well, there are what women/girls SAY they look for in a guy, and then what they actually WANT.

I have yet to meet a girl who says they dont like someone who is funny for example. But I know plenty of funny guys who have no girlfriends. I have heard plenty of girls say they like mature adult guys with real jobs, but this to my knowledge really means "rich guys" the end. And lastly they say good personality, but I find this also is a double meaning which in truth stands for "hot and good in the sack".

Females are just as likely to only be interested in someone because they are "sexy" as any guy is. I have worked with enough women in my time to know that line about them wanting more maturity and being conversationalists etc on average is pure bulll..... poopy :).

[Danyxandra]

They're probably crazier in the bedroom too if you get my drift. >.>

You need to come to Portland Oregon. Maybe it's because it rains all the freakin time that girls had to find more indoor activities here, but I'm telling you, even in my patient load, I find nearly as many female gamers as male gamers.

Side note, you won't find that many of them on pvp servers. That much is very true. Studies even support this. You'll find them on RP servers without the pvp. There are girls that are into the competitiveness of pvp, but many if not most according to the studies I've read are in the games where they can lean more towards the socializing bend where the game is more a chat room with really good graphics and game-goals rather than the other way around. In WoW there's a huge female population on Silver Hand and Scarlet Crusade. Here on TN, it's a much slimmer ratio finding a female player. In EQ, female populations on FV, the RP server, as well as the non-designated "unofficial" RP servers had lots of women. The Zek servers, however, where it's PVP, you won't find many women. Women like to talk, they like to socialize. But then, isn't that a man's four most dreaded words in a relationship? "We need to talk?"

[EnheilRas]

A recent study showed that on average, a man will say 2,000 words in a day.

Women will talk for 5,000 words.

yikes.

I personally barely speak over 200 words a day.

[Kazthul]

My girlfriend doesn't play games at all, nor does she have any desire to do so, which surprisingly, works out far better for me that one might think. She drags me away from the computer or console and I end up actually having a life outside my house, much to my enjoyment. Variety is the spice of life, and I think if my girl was a gamer, I'd probably be a lot less happy in the long run.

[Vilmah]

Variety is the spice of life, and I think if my girl was a gamer, I'd probably be a lot less happy in the long run.

I'm glad you found someone you can enjoy. Personally, if my guy wasn't a gamer, I don't think we'd get allong at all. Gaming is a big part of my life, since I go to school for it and do so many differen't kinds. (sports, too. I'm a little competative...)

[Pythre-Co]

Gamer girls are quite violent. *whimper* One made me bleed yesterday...

[EnheilRas]

Innkeeper Gryshka thinks Bleeding is cute.

[Grisch]

Innkeeper Gryshka thinks Bleeding is cute.

You play this game waaay too much.

You play this game waaay too much.

Perhaps it's even more sad when you know he got that fact from the "Meats to Orgrimmar" quest line that starts at Zargh, the Butcher in the Crossroads.

[Garbhan]

Now I could say 'I know that quest' but I couldn't name it, the details, or the names of those involved.

I... think that's a good thing?

Orc romance lives!! >.O

[Soraxis]

Orc romance definetly is alive...look at the inferno forum

Orc romance is scaring me, looking at that forum. Then again, if the RP channel right now is an example of Orc romance... it looks like armor is a pre-requisite.

*Eats fried wonton*

I'm a gamer girl. Heterosexual (mostly). I loves me some video games. I can speak in clear, concise sentences.

Am I crazy and evil? No.
Will I be the death of the boyfriend? Most definitely. XD


The one thing -I- hate is the behavior of some guys in MMOs. Because they react certain ways when they find out you're a chick. It's either,

OMG DON'T EXPECT SPECIAL TREATMENT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A GIRL

or

omg wantz 2 cyb0r?

It's not like our lives in game are made easier because we're girls. I'm just lucky to have a few friends that leap at the opportunity to textually belittle someone when I make a comment in Ooc. <3 <3


I am the opposite of eloquent tonight, as I am brain-dead.

true that!! Gamer Girls for the win =D

Its true, we don't have it easy. I remember DDRing in Orlando this one time with Keraph...there were a bunch of elite guys making fun of me, saying I was only doing heavy songs because he could pull me through...which wasn't true, I was playing them just as well as him... Other than that, and the occassional sexist remarks, its not too bad being a girl gamer =D

[Rhowen-Prea]

Dude, I was one of three girls in the entire Chicago DDR circle. Oh, ridicule and shittalking... It felt so good to beat them. XD I feeeeeel your pain.

(Oh, and I stopped hanging out with those people when one of the guys got dumped by my then-best-friend and went and told everyone that we slept together as bragging rights to try to maintain looking good in the group. Boys suck. Oh, and down with the DDR subculture that I admittedly played into for the longest time.)

Yeah, life as a gamer girl is peaches and cream. *high-five Naddy.* What we need to do is put together a national movement and call all these guys out, these guys that think women are inferior at gaming, and kick all their asses.

PS. Boys suck.

PPS. Come to ACen, you and Ker both.

[EnheilRas]

.. I could take you

[Nadea]

PPS. Come to ACen, you and Ker both.

Come to Otakon, we're going to that!! Dunno if ACen is in our budget, but we're DEFINITLEY going to Otakon!! :O

Edit: Better yet- COME TO ANIME BOSTON!!

[Kurohane]

Omg!! You're going to be at Otakon too? :D *happy-bouncy* My DDR skills are WAY gone (I haven't played much at all in nearly a year and a half now), but I'll still hop on and suck while you do awesome! Were you there last year? There were a couple of guys going around cosplaying quest givers - you had to deliver a "shipment" of leather from one to the other, and they gave you a gold as the quest reward (a little plastic gold coin). I got a good laugh from that. XD Anywho, you are now required to swing by the Artist Alley and pay Conidivh, Alucian and I a visit!! ^_^

And, of course, us Gamer Girls rule over all. ^_~ I've also found lovely ways to turn sexist remarks back on the creeps that make them... but they aren't the sort of thing for public display unless I hop over to the Inferno Section and put an NC17 warning on the topic. XD

[Netherlyn]

I am now officially afraid of being a male WoW player...

<3 & ph34r gamer ladies.

[Grisch]

All things considdered, I'm going to apply the same stance I take on religion, to the phenomenon of girl gamers.

I'll believe in it, when you can show me conclusive evidence. I don't mean circumstantial evidence backed up by 'faith' and some circular logic. SHOW it to me buddy, don't require me to believe first, I've been lied to enough.

Same with girl gamers. :P I'll believe they exist when I see one in front of my eyes that plays any PC game for more than 30minutes at a time, and the same game for more than a month. That knows how an IRC channel works and the basics of keeping your PC fast and free of bugs and spyware.

Photos on the net? PAH! Could be anyone. Voice on vent... eh, maybe, but it could also just be Zusteakai... *looks both ways* *runs*

[Abric]

... pictures yes. AbricOOC demands pictures of girl gamers.

>.>

I do find it amusing that guys pick on girls who game. They are really testing the waters of "looking cool." Why? A simple statement.

"Don't be jealous because you can't get a piece of tail like mine."

Whatever variation you want to take - say that to a guy. He'll probably say something stupid to save face. Or try to hurt your feelings.

But it doesn't matter! You all are crazy in the head, and to dwell on it more would mean less game time!

AbricOOC

[Rhowen-Prea]

I've got a pic up on FacesofWoW. I've got random other pics scattered through the forums I troll. I'm on Vent regularly and I'm not a 14-year-old boy. What else do you want? I guess beyond that, if that's not enough for you, it's a matter of faith.

Either way...

You insult us with your disbelief, Grisch. :( If we all disappear, it will be because of you. :P

[Rhowen-Prea]

PS: I was going to try to make it to Anime Boston, but can't. Stupid work. HOWEVER! If you see the kid dressed as Sydney Lostarot, with a bigass f*cking tattoo of a sword on his back, tell him Myth says hi. And hug him for me. And call him Baru. As in, Barubary. And he'll freak out. And it'll be awesome.

In fact, LOOK for him at Anime Boston and do that for me. Since you can't make it to -my- con. ;_;

[Brakogar]

I am in as much disbelieve as Grisch is.

I have never met a Girl gamer in my life.

Most Girls that i know barely know how to turn on the PC (most turn on the monitor only and then complain that the computer does not work).

They giggle in a dumb bimbo manner when they finaly succeed to do something like copy a file (after numerous explanation attempts and trial and error) and then conclude with a stupid "hehe I am now a nerd...hehehe".

The girls that I know are only concerned with fashion, celebrities and reality shows, nothing else. They think that games, computers, Roleplay or related are only for geeks and have basicaly the same personality as Daria's sister.

I cannot even envision a girl that plays games although I am aware that many frequent this very forums. You must all be in an parallel Universe to mine where everything is opposite and a link between dimensions exist through the internet.

[Rhowen-Prea]

Brak, I am sad for you, and my life is a little less sunny because you know no worthwhile girls. ;_;

Yeah, Ker and I were there last year-- no DDR tourney for us, we were waaaaaay outta practice for that ^^;; If I start now...*maybe* I can be practiced up for this year? *giggles* I doubt it. I'm good, I just don't have the stamina to support the skills xP

But yeah, we'll DEFINITLEY see you guys, just give us a location (I mean, once you know WHERE in Artists Alley you are!!). ^^;;

[Fallacy]

Where I come from, it's not that hard. My high school held LAN parties, and a bunch of my female friends would come and participate, in addition to the two hundred other people that were there. Maybe I'm just lucky... >.>

[Lafiel]

Wow... I can't believe so many of you don't believe in gamer girls. You must not have been anywhere around the Unreal Tournament scene, then. There's a woman who builds her own custom computers, hooks up her own network, creates skins for her characters, makes maps for the game, and more.

A few of you might have actually heard of her. Her first name is Asia.

[Rhowen-Prea]

The best part is, she is more socially awkward than most of us girls. At least, when she did the interview, she came across as the real deal. She is 100% geek. It was delightful, and I cheered for her in real life.

[Fallacy]

Finding them isn't hard. Getting them to fall for you is.

[Soraxis]

I remember once I was working on MSN on a project (think it was a law skit we were doing) and my other group member got added...my MSN name at the time was some quote (I -think- it was Gharban saying "Tha day a forsaken takes a step into ironforge is tha day I eat my own beard!") she right away asked if I played WoW and we freaked liv out by just going on and on about stupid WoW related stuff.

[Mortica]

See! If Soraxis can find a girl who plays WoW, anyone can! Don't give up hope guys!

We're everywhere.

Finding girls on the net that play games is apparently easy. TNG seems to have a good amount of them.

We are not talking about internet girls, we are talking about ones you meet in every day life.

For me and others its impossible to find or meet a girl in Real Life that plays games and does not act like a bimbo and who's level of knowledge goes beyond Australian Idol (Its called that in Australia) or related shows.

Well the thing is we gamer peoples are in fact a lesser part of the population anyway, and yes for whatever reason.... Gaming seems to appeal to men more than women. Sucks for us guys looking for hawt rich gamer girls who are willing to give us all thier money. But you cant win them all.

Seriously though, things in common is good. But gaming and or lack of gaming shouldnt be the big picture. No one is one dimensional. If you cant find an interesting person who likes one aspect of your personal hobbies try going for something else. Things in common help build a friendship but you know they say opposites attract.

If any of you ever come to Boston, look me up. Then you can say you met a gamer girl in real life =D

I think the reason guys dont meet gamer girls is because the gamer girls arent walking around going shopping or whatever 24/7 (I think) they're...*gasp* GAMING. Who would have guessed!?!? So I'd guess D&D conventions and stuff like that is where youd have your best chance of finding one, catching her and adding her to your pokedex....

<-- The rare and unusual Kachimon spends most of her day inside her homemade cave. When she -does- venture out, it is most often at night. She can be found in movie rental stores and restaurants. She is more prone to outdoor activity in the summer, and may be found in Ravinia, where the music of a talented orchestra will soothe the often nasty temper of this savage but cunning beast.

Oi! Also, try college! College is where I met my boyfriend (who plays WoW) and all of our gaming friends. Plenty of girls gamers, there. Especially since it's an animation/gaming school.

PS. Boys suck.

Tell that to the tauren that whomps you every time we fight. *flex*

I'm an old 1st Ed. D&D player from the early days, and one day last Fall my oldest teenage son says "hey Dad, look at this here game I'm playing, it's just like that old D&D stuff you use to play with your now middle-aged/old gezeer friends. He let me play for a few minutes, and about 3 seconds later I had my own account on my other PC.

I have a close friend that had to move to the mid-west, and I got her involed in WoW, it's a great way for us to keep in touch, and when we talk on the phone or manage to visit, it's 50% WoW talk.

My wife doesn't play and thinks I'm a lunatic. But then, I'm not the one watching re-runs of Falcon Crest either...

[clys]

Ah, Rhowen, you have a friendly face! It made me break down and post mine. Ahh, the illusions I just shattered... makes me sad...

[Karkarov]

Hey now I am not an old geezer and I play D&D still, even first edition sometimes!!!

[Lafiel]

Ah, Rhowen, you have a friendly face! It made me break down and post mine. Ahh, the illusions I just shattered... makes me sad...

Aw... Don't feel sad, Clys. You didn't shatter my illusion of you. You look just as evil as I thought you would. :twisted:

Perhaps a little less skanky, though... :?

[Rhowen-Prea]

A friendly face? Is that like having a nice personality? *Blinks* Ah, well, glad to be the proverbial straw, eh?

[clys]

You wanted me to say "ZOMG RHOBBER IS TEH H4WTS!" ?

[Rhowen-Prea]

It was rhetorical, and a joke aligning with a common male sentiment that heavy girls have nice personalities. ~_~ I thought I was being clever!
