Another Mistake

*sigh*

I finally succumbed to the urge today to order SE IV Gold. For the next few days, I will bid my wife and family adieu.

Welcome Wildcard.
This is a game that will keep you hooked and the only thing to keep your home life happy is to get your wife and kids involved. Mind you, then it means more time fighting over computer time.

I've got my wife playing in a team PBW game, and if she wins, especailly over the big boys like Primative, Tesco & the current KOTH King Asmala, then she is really going to be hard to live with.

How did you do that Grazic,

Getting your wife playing SEIV I mean, I'm trying that for months now (if she is hooked herself she will not naging on me, because I'm only playing for just 7 hours.)

Offcourse I've got 2 computers........

I got her hooked by 'sharing interests'.
In the first game of the SE3 demo I didn't attack her in our first game and let her win the second game. Then SE4 came out, and she was hooked.
Mind you picking the right partner always helps.

We think it is funny when we start talking about the 'Pairs' PBW game, our 3.5 year old son starts talking about the 'Ships he built' and he is now always building rockets with his Lego.

Okay, very smart of you to let her win

My problem is to get her play at all.......but am working on it.

But you are right with your son, an good education starts early.......Never to young to start love SciFi and SEIV etc etc........

Well, I don't want to take the blame for making her hard to live with. Maybe the time has come to send in the stardestroyers

My wife only plays one game on the computer, and that's Mahjongg, or Shanghai (that's the name I first knew it as). She may be on there for a couple of hours when she does play. I don't think she'd be interested in SE4, since she's not into sci-fi. I hope to get my son interested, but I'm waiting until he gets older before I let him touch the computer unsupervised. He's only 3. Welcome aboard, Wildcard.
