If you had Xbox 360 Black Ops II I'd be your man to play along with.

Any girl who has a problem with me playing Call of Duty or NCAA Football to relax after a hard day at work dealing with PO'd people, then that girl will NOT be my SO. Simple as that.

As long as you don't let it run your life. I play video games from time to time (mostly Wii and PS3) to have fun. I watch cartoon to relieve stress and prefer them over movies (unless animated or cartoon movies).

My buddy and his fiancee when they moved in together now have two gamecubes two ps2 with copies of the same kind of games zelda, final fantasy and others. In fact she complains they don't play video games together enough. Complete twilight zone to what most folks expect.

Yeah i am starting to see that, I live in an area with very closed minded people so what can you do?

As for the black ops 2, it is cool to play, however, I prefer a system that actually works(ps3)

Super old school games? Pacman, Defender, Asteroid and *******!

But as I got older I started getting into more puzzle games. Never got into the first person shooters. Or Zelda. I liked either martial arts or car racing. I probably should play grand theft auto though.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.
wow, those are some old games. Super Mario is ok,but things like galaxy and stuff like that, im not too keen on. I've played the old school ones but what is *******?

oh btw I noticed you mentioned street fighter, i would crush you lol. Mortal Kombat would be anyone's game though.

I was exceptional at Pong. And Centipede, for that matter.

What's Elevator Action?

If I continued to play fighter games like I was doing about 10 years ago with Street Fighter, I'd mow a lot of people over.

Or if we did some SC2 tourney...I could brush up on my Nightmare...

My late husband was a gamer. He was addicted to WoW, which I played a few times with him but never really got into. It worked for us as I have time consuming hobbies of my own and this way we both had time to do the things we enjoyed. I spent part of this weekend learning another Blizzard game which I think might be a precursor to WoW.

I'm more of a board game person. I host board game nights about once a month so ideally anyone I date seriously will want to play too. These are more of the party games with the current fave being Cards Against Humanity. I'm starting to get into the strategy games as well; I was recently told by another woman at a board game Meetup she likes me because I'm the only other woman who comes back on a regular basis.

To answer the OP's follow up question, I'll be 39 in three weeks.
