Stick from the missus over GTA?

KillerShamrock

Brilliant some great solutions to a problem that has existed since the dawn of gaming ie the game or girlfriend conundrum

Well my other half doesnt even live in the country so i dont think she will be able to bother me too much as play till my fingers bleed and i have the wrists of 90 year old at the age of 24 :eek:
Personally i would choose her over the game if i REALLY had too, unless i could get her to perform certain acts while i played but i think that would be pushing it a bit

Some of ye guys are seriously whipped, when your first get with a girl you should let her know who's boss and that from time to time there are things you'll want to do!!.:p

As i said 2 pages back, yes i am, but any time i've had a GF i've let her know from the start that i'm not a 24/7 fella. If ye all do the same then ye'd have had no problems now!!.

it's also probably the reason we have girlfriends..

Well the gf isn't my problem as shes a gamer herself so she "understands". No, its the college projects & exams coming up that will have my GTA time limited

No ye have GF's because as of April 2008 things have gone well with someone, i had one too up until Feb 2008, it's just the way things go, and i'm single to coincide with the release, regardless ye'r all easily lead by your GF's, a real man does'nt need permission to play a game;)

No sorry i was refering to time with a GF, unfortunately you seem to be hoping i'm some tranny that you seemed to have slept with sometime going by your comment. Unfortunately i'm not a man who goes by Shirley at the w/end, hopefully you find him though!!:)

It's funny how defense all the fella's are getting, maybe ye should be like that with your GF's and play the game if ye want!!:D

a couple of weeks ago, after convincing the mrs that taking a day of annual leave to go to a wedding of someone she works, (and who I don't know,) would be a waste of an extra day we could spend on holidays.

Although suspicious of my reasons, she agreed. Score me, no boring wedding.
Now there's no way I can take a day of for GTA without facing her gorgons fury, to play a "toy"

I have of course booked a day off from work, this will necessitate getting up in the morning, putting on the suit and pretending to go to work. Pop off to the shops picking up the game and going home after she's at work.

Then I'll have to dissappear at 4.30, come home, pretend I've just picked up the game and worry about that missing leave day at a later day.

This game better be worth it!

A-Trak if your Mrs tracks the number of days you have had off from your annual leave allowance then you are either working for her or have a serious problem m8

I love it. Reminds me of a stunt myself and my friend pulled a couple of years ago, run on the exact same lines, though that was when we were in secondary school and he had just gotten FIFA Road to the World Cup 98.

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

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

:pac:

Smelly that must have been your "imaginary" girlfriend
or you could be like that redneck on the discovery program that said this about his blow up doll,
"I loves inanimate objects" :P

Trapper, I'm 29, married, and get that all the time from the boss!
"Bad books"??...........get married and you'll be in them for the rest of your days.....get used to it

I have to say I'm lucky though, I work shift work and am off until next thursday and the mrs is in NY for work for the week, beer and gta4 HELL YEAH

He'd probably be off somewhere playing it too!!

I thought it was just me who had girlfriend-Xbox 360 issues! I work from home, so taking a day off for GTA can be done and more importantly, gotten away with!

Silverfish, if I said that to my girlfriend she'd reply "I wish I had the free time to spend all day playing childish computer games.

Her only downside is that she isn't C500's mother.

Well since I started up the thread I have'nt so much as mentioned an x or a box so shes a little unawares about how ive been thinking the past few days...

Jesus lads I just had to tell someone...I watched the IGN review this morning..........well it looks alright doesnt it? i mean it looks really alright? ...... it looks %$£*"^%£ amaaaaazing!!

Shes gonna be wondering why im in such a good mood tomo, she'll be wondering where I am on Wednesday and and she'll be wondering why I dont want her over to my place during the week??

This week will be ok though, She'll HAVE to understand but as much as this thread is to have a bit of a laugh ... I honestly believe theres gonna be a few mood swings about me about playing GTA too much WHY? Because I know I WILL be playing it toooo much, I know that Ill be secretly agreeing with her that its a bit of a waste sitting home for so long playing with my new "game"...Its not gonna stop me!


I have a new plan....Im going to buy her a surprise gift - A relaxing day in the Spa - it will be very pricey but any lads with a longish time other half will now the amount of brownie points this kind of thing brings...In fact I reckon it'll gaurantee me at least a month solid gameplay without moaning....after that Ill have to look into staying up mad hours at night while shes off asleep!

Yours sincerely

We don't have to pretend we went to work or make excuses for playing GTA. The girlfriends need to play GTA too. After all, we are taking part in the "cultural event of the week". Think I am waffling? That according to the Times.

From that article:

The latest games designed for the Sony Wii console can even force players to break sweat.

Clearly an expert opinion!:p

Ya couldnt have gotten your strategy more wronger...:D

Ya should have built up to a complex and unexplainable depression stating you needed time alone to consider where your life was going and what you wanted for the future..... by the time youre "prepared to accept herslef as part of your future" (in about two weeks) you'll be a hero:).

I dont have the same problem as most of you guys. Ive even caught my girlfriend checking out the IGN review. Im sure she cant wait to play it too. At least it'll get her off COD4 for a while. She even went and bought her own xbox yesterday.
The only thing I have to worry about now is moving house. I have to be out by the end of the week and I have nothing done.....

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:-)

24 year old with too much time on his hands.

300 bills well spent buddy, I had the week booked off, then just changed it too tommorow, now I cant even do that as I HAVE to work gutted....
and whats more .... I have to entrust the purchase of the game with the wife as I wont make it back to the shop in time(sweatin)!!

fidsta is the gamer tag if any1's up for a rattle when I eventually get round to playing it!!
