Anybody here could make your wife/GF do this with you?

I mean to make her play Multi-player games with you :-\ Okay that's a serious question. My wife feels I'm too old to play computer games and I'm wasting time, *irresponsibly*. I want to know , if 35 years old is too old for games? Anybody older than me here playing PC/Xbox games at home? & Have you ever managed to convince your wife to give you company for a multi-player game? If so, what game was that & how did that happen? :)

I'm a 40-year old level 100 fire-mage. Why don't you login for a quick showdown in Alterac Valley? Different partners reacted, well, differently. At one time, there were two desktops in the living-room next to each other, and that was were dinner got served. Then again, if you both like the same game, you may be putting some more hours into it than originally planned . The current romantic interest does not like to play computer-games at all, and thinks I need to grow up more - but she will look at other grown kids playing "soccer" and even cheer to the TV.

Ask her, nicely and from a distance, how one would waste time responsibly.

Not long ago that would attract the comment "liberal minded," but there's websites and chat groups for that stuff and niches for those with other tastes and.... oh, you meant computer/console/phone multi-player games (make-believe whips and chains and...?)
Sin tack the any key okay

You just need to find multi-player exercise or cooking games. ;) Can't wait to be fired by Google for making that comment. Oh wait, I don't work for Google. Marc

Not action/violent type games, generally. Neither of us actually. Though we have played some Kinect games with the kid in the past. And the Lego games. More recently, the kid has been playing games on Steam and downloaded some party-type games that we all played.

Is 35 years old is too old for games?
Nope, so long as you deal with your other responsibilities.

Mostly PC when I have the spare time, which isn't much at this point in time.

That is actually how we met, playing games.

We met playing World of Warcraft, which is a habit we kicked. We've also played Forza, other racing games, some of the tactical shooters, Minecraft, and so on. We have to be careful because if it is a game that either of us get seriously competitive in and the other isn't as good, it can get frustrating. Just have to remember that it isn't as important as your marriage and happiness. So long as we take care of life first and this is a way to blow off some steam, then it works. Everything in moderation.

66+ and I play Guild Wars 2 every day. My wife is just fine with this - she has her own business and is equally busy with that. We do see each other every so often, so we're OK...

I'm older than you are, and I still play the occasional computer game (XBox mostly, these days). Never really got into them when they were newfangled things, so I'm not as into them as a lot of people are. I've never gotten my wife to play, but my kid, now that's a different matter.
I live in Oregon, and I'm an engineer.

My husband plays online games a lot and I realize that is a form of stress release for him. I don't have very good hand-eye coordination that is usually necessary for the games he plays but it is fun to watch him play. They can be a huge time-drain if you let them but some form of recreation is a good thing. I'm thankful that his hobby is gaming and not something that takes him away from home a lot.

If it pleases you,... well, go ahead. I was singing in a chorus, and you wouldn't believe how excited those 70+ year old grandfathers were every Wendnesday night, telling about the new smartphone apps they had obtained since last chorus pratice. I am sure that they were out chasing pokemons with their grandchildren, and I am quite sure that the most eager own was the grandpa. I had had enough of computer games when I was 21 or 22. Some of my fellow students really should have consulted a psychologist; one of them later stated that "I was a university sophmore for the three best years of my life". That was due to one single game. It even is so long ago that we didn't have any network. We didn't have any graphic animations, we had 25 by 80 characters: Black, dim green and green. And inverse video: When these gamers set off the dynamite they had found in the cave, the blast set off a dozen of inverse video flashes of the entire screen; first time you saw it you probably tipped your chair over on its back. The original, one-player Adventure game. It doesn't take fancy animation, graphics, 32 bit colors and sound effects. All it takes is a lively fantasy (the images are much better in radio plays than in screenplays!), and a monomaniac mind. Watching the "life" of my fellow students gave me computer games up to here. I early learned how far it can go. You have the right to spend your spare time the way you like. I just never felt like going into the same trap myself.

Well, you might ask She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed: "Didn't you marry me because I was Peter Pan ?" Or, you might remind her that there are other vices the male-beast is susceptible to that are far worse. cheers, Bill
