Never ask a lady her age

I learned the key was to be yourself (in my case a videogame dork) right out of the box. Then if she sticks around, she's accepted it. I have most of my old systems along with quite a selection of games.

I've employed this strategy for 16 years with considerable success -- I'm still single, after all!

Oh and my wife hates this game, no NAPs about it!

BTW, I'm still waiting for MOM2, it has been like 13 years now
Though now I can safely say dom-III is better

Copycat!

I can say in all honesty that Dom 3 has had an adverse effect on my marriage-my wife's threatened to smash my laptop into little bits on more than one occasion, because I spend the majority of my free time playing this game.

I've currently got my laptop hidden, because I figure, if she can't see it, she won't think about it as much, and then I can play it to my heart's content when she's not around.

Old games (like Might and Magic: World of Xeen) used to have a "boss key" which you could hit in case of an emergency, and then it would display something harmless: a DOS screen for example, or a spreadsheet. Newer games no longer have it.

Can we ask the devs to add a feature where, when you hit the ESC key, the screen turns into a beautiful valentine that we can print out and give to our rightfully embittered spouses?

After all, they're the ones that got us into this mess

I just ended up getting my wife a Nintendo DS and a copy of Brain Age and Puzzle Quest. I haven't seen her in weeks.

Speaking of Puzzle Quest, if you like (or your loved one likes) Bejeweled with RPG elements, I highly recommend the demo for the PC, which should eventually come out as a full version. It is also available for the 360, PSP, DS, and eventually the PS3 as well.

I imported a pink DS from Japan (before they came out in the states), Animal Crossing, and Tetris for her wedding present. She loved it.

You guys are going to have to tell me the secret. How do you find wives that like game like that?
