Does ANYONE's wife/girlfriend like SEIV?

My HUSBAND does not appreciate SEIV at all. Nor does he appreciate any of the other games I enjoy, which happen to (pretty much) all be strategy and RPG's. However, I do not appreciate his flight sims, either. Complex, machine hogging, flight stick requiring flight sims (and related games, like ATC sims). Happily our dual income, no kids life style gives us time for both :-)

I'm not alone. It's incredible how everyone's description is so similiar to mine. I too have to sometimes plot a secret time to play...but I usually play while my wife is at work if I can.

Sometimes my wife will let me play and then after a hour, she's like "Are you getting off yet?" - I only get like 6 turns in!

HAhahaha...thanks for the much-needed laugh at work, Dracus.

I'm currently in an LD relationship, so I can still get away with it. Although with school and work lately, I rarely have time for too much besides a quickie FPS.

Funny about the offline friends comment, though...only one of my friends is into SEIV. Is it just me, or is SEIV mostly a web-based/word-of-mouth/fan of previous SEs thing? Anyone here because of game reviews?

Yep. I first heard about SEIV while browsing strategy reviews on GameSpot.

I guess I'm really lucky. I've gotten two friends into SE4 is a painful way (they are as bad as me now). As for the girlfriend issue, my fiance' only plays games with wanton carnage. She never wanted to try anything like Unreal Tournament, but I made her one time, and now she thinks Head-shot is the most wonderful sound in the world. Anything with more thought and strategy than Diablo II she'll pick up for an hour then never look at again. Go figure.

I found SE4 by accident at a review site, can't remember which one although I should remember and thank them. I that whatever it was that told me to download the demo, as I usually don't do that.
