Best way to start WoW'ing with my wifeFollow

What?

Aww poor Maz!

I'm really just confused because I have no earthly idea why Rhode is mentioning his uncle Jack and a horse. I don't know if it's some meme reference I'm missing, or if he's just being strange. =x

You know, my brain briefly went there when I first read it, but maybe because it's late (or early depending on your perspective and sleep habits), it escaped as quickly.

Ah the rich pottery of the English sandwich

Dam nuns. There to good.

That actually hurt my soul.

LOL yes cause someone too lazy to get up and pee in a toilet is more serious then me lol! Or maybe you didn't catch that part. No really she was having "Accidents" playing on her computer.. I came home from work one day and I smelled ****... and since I came home early like 2 hours I got the deer in the headlights look from my soon to be EX wife when I asked if the cat pissed on something.. till she got up and her pants were wet!


I mean on the weekends I'd play 12 hours with her to catch up and usually pass her. One since I was a tank and she was a rogue it was MUCH easier for me to get gear, and 2 I could either Tank on my main or at the time jump to my mage and nuke some stuff before duel spec came out. Once that came out then it was much easier for me to pug with other groups on my time off during the week and progress in 2-3 hours what her guild would spend 6-9 hours doing weekly. Now to her advantage she had 4 70's to my 2 but still my group I lead on the weekends would go further cause they wouldn't play during the week EXCEPT to farm for the weekend here and there or do the Shattered Sun dailies for GOLD.

Now she admitted to having a problem, but then instead of getting help she got a divorce because "No female shrink was going to tell her how to run her FING life and marriage!"

Kinda sad how our daughter got caught in the crossfire. But soon It goes to court and with some things I'll keep off here outside her admitting in writing she was urinating her self I should hopefully have my daughter. Too bad I've nearly put WORLD of WARCRAFT down due to the memories of my EX but I have a better woman now in my life and my place no longer smells of urine!

Actually Pigtails since your a woman I'll ask you.... IF a man tried to get you help from gaming addiction to the point she was at and he told you that the only way you would stay married if you went to counseling TOGETHER would you run off or would you give the chance?!

You actually transferred off a server because of a strange run-in? What the hell happened? Surprise buttsex in the Deeprun Tram with a Goblin, or what?

Aww, that's okay Juggy. I am fully aware that Proudmoore is not for everyone. I'd guess someone from one of the Taint guilds hit on you and it freaked you out? They can be a bit over the top sometimes.

But you didn't need to take me off real id too. I enjoyed playing with you, and it'd be fun to do heroics together occasionally.



If I still loved the guy, and wanted to save my marriage, absolutely. But to be honest, I would never let it get to that point. Sure, there are times I will hold it while I'm playing because I'm busy doing something, but I've never got remotely close to being so absorbed in the game that I forget to use the bathroom, or sleep or eat. That's incredibly ****** up. That really hints that WoW was not the real issue for your wife. There is something else seriously wrong with her if she was able to get that absorbed in it.

My primary has on occasion joked about being a WoW widow. I'll admit, I have from time to time, gotten a bit carried away with how much I play. But that was really due more to depression and **** going on in my life that I just didn't know how to deal with, than the game itself. It's an escape, and sometimes a needed one. But sometimes I do go overboard and if he tells me I'm going overboard, I try very hard to own that and cut back without getting resentful of him. Plus, if he really needs me, I'm there for him. This last weekend I had the opportunity to test out the Star Wars MMO. Literally, 5 minutes after I got a group for the first dungeon after you leave the starting zone, he sent me a text asking if I could come pick him up because he didn't want to sleep alone. I told him I'd just got in a dungeon and would he mind waiting an hour or so. He replied that he wasn't in the right head space to be able to handle coming second to a video game, so I told him I'd be right over. I apologized to the people in my group and left, and got him and brought him back to my place. I may not be perfect, but I am always there for my men and my friends when they need me. If I was in the middle of a raid in WoW, I'd do the same thing.

Eh, that article is actually kind of obnoxious. As are several of the comments, one of which I replied to. I love it when people claim that WoW players aren't real gamers because gear is handed to you. Sure, some of it is. Any idiot can say that, but has that idiot done any heroic modes lately? I think not.

Soooo... surprise buttsex in the Deeprun Tram, ya?

Moonkin Aura gives me 5% haste. Does that mean it's not relevant?

Quick Google search tells me the margin of error is like 2% for 2k respondents (not that I believe that to be wholly accurate or anything, as it's based on a population of 200 million), but ya hardly an earth-shattering difference there even if it is statistically significant. The saying "if you need a test to tell you something is significant, it isn't" springs to mind. The sex difference, especially the way it appears to be worded is hardly the most interesting stat. they came up with. Especially considering the ever-persistent "women play games just to socialize" thing was pretty much blown out of the water, again, and got little mention.

Suppose that doesn't make a catchy headline though.

Of course that's relevant. However, a 5% difference amongst a survey of 2000 women is hardly significant. Especially given the margin of error protein mentions.
