I've actually cut my WoW time in about half lately.
Why? Certainly not to give up gaming...
I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and join a WH40K Campaign at the local game store.
This forces me to start painting miniatures again and kills my Friday night WoW sessions as well as cuts about an hour out of my nightly WoW playing.
On the flipside though, I'm teaching my 12 year old how to play WH40k, paint miniatures and scratch-build scenery.
My wife isn't ever going to ask me to stop
gaming. I was a hardcore gamer when I met her at 14 and I'm a hardcore gamer now at 36 and I'll be a hardcore gamer when I die at 78.
It would be totally unfair of her at this point to say "It's the Space Marines or ME!! Someone's gotta go!" We dated 10 years, so I figure she had more than enough time to decide on whether to marry a gamer or not.
She just hates
computer gaming because she can't get my attention at all when I'm doing it. If I'm playing WH40k, it's no biggie to stop and take out the trash and I can listen to her bitch about work and play at the same time.
I get in a lot of quality time with the boys, wife is happier and life is better. And I don't have to give up Orks with Gigantic Axes either.
You know what's disgusting? My buddy's wife plays WoW with him. She's actually better than he is too! Where can I get one of
those?!?
