Does ANYONE's wife/girlfriend like SEIV?

[AJC]

My wife is very tolerant of my gaming habits for the 15 years we have known each other. Whether it was RP games I used to play or computer games now - She has put up with it since she was my g/f in High school, through our engagement, and now as my wife. She would rather see me here hanging out with a computer game - ready to be summoned back to work at a moments notice.... than at some meat market bar with all my friends that are prowling for girls.

She is into Video games so she understands my interest in a computer game more than she ever understood my interest in RP games.

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!

that I like it.) She does like the movies about serial killers. ( that's why I have so much time to be on this forum. afraid to sleep.)

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.
