Stick from the missus over GTA?

Trapattoni

Right well the girlfriend has heard me talk about GTA 4 once or twice and I have owned up to looking things up about it on the net quite a few times over the past couple of weeks....I have also let slip my excitment about it!

Well shes not been overly impressed and has so far kinda shrugged off my anticipatin with a kinda "jesus how sad is that?!" reaction.

I dont mind this so much but Im now worried that Ill be in the bad books soon enough as I enevitably want to spend some time with GTA over the next couple of weeks...and less time with her

Ha its sad Im thinking about this i know but Im seriously thinking of taking a couple of days holidays in a couple of weeks time on the sly and spend the whole time on the couch in front of GTA!

Anyone else have a similar problem?!!

Yours sincerely

Respect!

What if you bought her her own copy? No, that probably won't work...

Yeah live with my gf and have devised a plan to get rid of her.
She was a little short for her holiday and was not going away so I put 300 towards it.
She is leaving Monday 28th for two weeks and does not know I have 2 weeks off too.

Sad I know but I had to confess to someone:-)

Shouldn't you be busy managing the Irish team? No wonder we're shíte if you're playing GTA all the time.

Question posed by GF while watching the GTA ad on TV yesterday;

"Can I watch you play when you get GTA?"

Probably less sad than the celebrity gossip magazines she probably reads.
"Ooh some C-list nobody from an unpopular soap just got a boob job, I can't wait to get this home!" <-- sad

Use her disapproval towards you playing the game as motivation to go on the MOTHER of all killing sprees. That'll soon have you in your happy place. Just keep the killing to the virtual world....m'kay.:D:D

superweld

should be a great laugh picking up hookers then beating the crap outta them for your money back with the missus watching. she can bring you cups of tea and then you can give her a smack :pac:

My solution works best

3 weeks coming close to the release date, i did the following

T-21 days - bought a surround sound for the 360
T-14 days - bought a mini fridge
T-7 days - bought a bolt for the inside of the door of the spare room.

Booked a week off work. Got my fridge for beer, a stack of cash for take away food for a week and locked myself in so that the missus can't bother me. Couch or floor will work perfect for sleeping, but who needs sleep if you've no job to do for a week?

Typical Jackabo LMFAO. I predict that Jackabo will survive on nothing but a diet of Buckfast and animal sounds.

Have GTA4 booked in Smyths, but also have a DS lite booked for herself.

She'll have to leave me to it after that. :D:D:D

I don't have any elaborate schemes I'm afraid. I told the wife yesterday that I've book next Tuesday off work and when she asked why I said "It's got absolutely nothing to do with the release date of GTA 4", at which point she just sorta rolled her eyes.

My love affair with my consoles has been a long running "issue" in our marriage, so she's pretty used to it at this stage. She's vaguely aware of GTA from the types of disapproving things you hear about it in the mainstream press, so I'll just need to make sure I don't feed her disapproval by beating up prostitutes while she's in the room or something.

TheHairyFairy

I recently took voluntary redundancy so until I get a new job have too much time on my hands. Cant decide if I want to pick the game up at midnight yet though.

murfo

its under her radar at the moment, at least until she finds out that i'm off next tuesday and wednesday. though through complete coincidence, i have to take the car for its nct on tuesday, but not til 5pm so i'll have a whole days worth before then

Tonyh8su

Wow I must be lucky. My g/f actually bought my 360 for me for my 21st! She also bought me a Wii last Xmas and is in fact excited for me that GTA is finally coming out. (6 days might I add). U might think I'm a lucky boy- but trust me you havent heard her moaning yet :rolleyes:

johnny_adidas

ive been a very good boy lately, early to bed, no booze etc etc.

she thinks ive changed/grown up, i say its the calm before the storm

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

I am not mentioning names at all but ...

we got an email off a lady who wanted us to cancel her husbands order because she felt he would disappear for a few weeks like he did when San Andreas came out. They apparently have a child and she is adamant he won't be staying up all night playing it as he too has booked a week off work for it. Funniest thing was apparently he was hoping to time arrival of the child around SA so he would have a few days off to himself at the time. :D:D

Obviously we did not cancel the order but if you are from South dublin with 2 kids and a really annoyed wife it could well be you

( Could well be a wind up too but still made us laugh )

Told my gf Gta was coming out soon. Her response “Great, suppose I wont see you for two weeks" I don’t think she was a happy bunny..

Man, I can totally relate to you guys.




No wait, that's not true at all

I work in a tile shop, come up and i'll sort you out! I'll take the price of the ps3 and GTA off, then she'll have nothing to be annoyed about!

EDIT: My GF has grown to accept my computing ways, although i dont think she'll have ever seen me this bad before!

ha ha cheers dude!

i have GTA paid for on gamesnash.ie, i think i'm just going to buy the PS3 without telling her, put it where the PS2 is now and hope she doesn't notice the difference..

chavezychavez

Man, this thread is brilliant.

If only the other halves knew we were discussing how to get-round/pacify/occupy/ignore them they'd lose the rag altogether.

Either that or we're all just a little bit sad.

I know I am - Had a nightmare last night that I went to collect my pre-ordered GTA and there were none left. :eek:

Well my wife actually plays COD4 online with me and loves it, so I thought "Cool, I'll let her know GTA IV is out soon and we can pre-order".

Turns out we play too much COD 4 as it is :eek: and GTA IV isn't coming to my house for the time being

This GTA is gonna be as good if not better than Secks. therefore you can go a few days with Mrs. Palmer and her 5 slutty Daughters. Get GTA actually get 2 (If you have 2 consoles) and then see what she says when she starts playing it.
