I hope this doesn't give my wife any ideas...

/gone back to Skyrim

What? Where? Skyrim? ...................................................................... ............skyrim.....................
/goes back to playing

Yeah, Skyrim is occupying much of my off time as well.

Archer...FTW

And for those that want to pull him away from games...be more interesting.

WULD NA KEST

I'm on vacation this week and can't play Skyrim or BF3, so I'm not getting a kick....

I kept reading the article expecting to find out when the police became involved and charged her with some kind of felony. Sad that I've come to expect that of this kind of situation.

wife unhappy w/ husband? that's a first.

/how unusual

Cybernetic: Somebody offered her a blue bag of Skittles.

Don't they know that the blue Skittles are disgusting, repellent, and evil?

The RED Skittles are the only true Skittles.

i love skittles.... but don't they all kinda taste the same? i have never really detected a difference in flavor between colors.

F that, I got my own copy. He's played way more hours than I have simply because I've been doing things like digging up the garden for winter and cleaning the house and moving furniture. The trade off is that he doesn't get to complain if I want to play it for six hour stretches...

So when a woman tries to sell another human being on Craigslist, everyone "has a good laugh". When a GUY tries to do it, it's a misdemeanor.

I'm hoping for Skyrim for Christmas. But I've read that there are a few game stopping glitches. Any of you Farkers experienced them?

\Am a female. Would rather have games instead of ugly handbags.

FTFA: Kyle Bradley, who said he successfully finished the game within a few days, seems amused by his wife's ad and notes that she encouraged his purchase of the game.

The missus bought me my copy on the first day. You can add her to the list of wives who are quickly learning to regret their decision to support their husband's gaming habits.

And this is why you should never marry someone who isn't as into video games as you are. True love helps you grind for titles.

No glitches in my PC version so far. Which is freaky as hell. 21 hours or so in.

Ok, i'll add video-game-hating to my list of reasons to not get married.

PC or console?

Speaking to the former, I have had absolutely no problems so far, although I've heard other people might have. It has all to do with your rig.

He's 22 but considered a war veteran? Isn't that a term usually applied to old guys that spent time in a war? Why is it that any military service has to mentioned and even glorified in some of these articles?

22-year-old veteran of Afghanistan?

Let him do whatever the fark he wants, especially if it involves using MW to numb his PTSD.

I've caused a few glitches, but nothing game breaking. Mostly the problems occur if you do a quest out of order (get the item, bring it back, then get the quest to retrieve item) or if you finish a quest with a speech check, then go retrieve the item.

One irritating one i have is a .5 bottle of wine i picked up as part of a quest, and can't put down. All the other ones i had before i picked it up are trapped in my inventory. Rumor has it I can sell it to a pawn shop, so i'll try that later

Man if that guy is a star wars fan then Bioware's The Old Republic may cause him to disappear for years on end.

LadyMech: I'm hoping for Skyrim for Christmas. But I've read that there are a few game stopping glitches. Any of you Farkers experienced them?.

I have logged 52.2 hours, if there are any game breaking bugs I have not seen them. There are a few odd ones (wheres my dog?) and the rare crash but over all its alot more solid than Fallout 3 was at release.

No... where did you get that idea?

You serve in combat, you are a combat veteran. You don't have to wait fifty years after serving.

TFA says he served in Afghanistan. You can define "war" how you like, but he obviously hasn't been just sitting on his ass. Well, until recently.

I'll have to get Skyrim for the Xbox. Sadly, my computer isn't set up for gaming. Hopefully I'll be able to afford a gaming computer next year though. I think the main glitches for the Xbox version are quest related. Unless there's a new one I haven't heard of.

she could be nice and give him a blowie while he plays

Funny, I was gonna sell my wife. Hopefully I get a taker before whatever her next EQ2 expansion is released.

Haven't got Skyrim but just spent a giant chunk of the weekend playing Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom with my son...I'm pretty sure us in the basement playing games equals quiet time upstairs for her and is usually appreciated.

Battlefield 3 is much much better.

He's only addicted to one video game? Lame.

A friend of mine and I used to play a game where you close your eyes and guess the color with skittles while on LSD. It was surprisingly difficult.

I have often complained of my husband's overwhelming desire to stare at a screen for umpteen hours at a time... the solution we found involves turning our household into a LAN party. Our 2 children are old enough to keep up and we all have computers, so are able to form a fellowship (LOTRO) and party until someone gets hungry. It's a fun kind of bonding -- and anotther trade-off is he has to (gets to) take me dancing next weekend.

FinFangFark: And for those that want to pull him away from games...be more interesting.

This.

LadyMech: But I've read that there are a few game stopping glitches.

Only major issue I have is the game periodically just....closes.
No "Skyrim.exe has stopped working" message, nothing. It just ends. The numerous autosaves help me out, but when walking The 7000 Steps or other long overland jaunts, it can get annoying. Sometimes it happens once every two hours, sometimes every ten minutes.

The quest glitches ARE annoying... especially if you clear out a dungeon and get a quest item before you're officially given that quest. Depending on the item, you may have problems finishing out the quest.

Is there a list yet of dungeons to avoid? I always ended up messing up the vampire quests in Morrowind because I'd stumble into one of the vampire lairs without noticing.

I've had at least one freeze per play session on the PS3 - but it's probably because I play for four hours at a time. I hope it gets patched soon.

Battlefield 3 (and to a much lesser extent Skyrim) has almost tempted me to do the same thing to my bf.

Doesn't your butt start hurting after the 6th hour?

/Serious question

You come back alive from Afghanistan, you can do whatever you want for a while.

There is a really great one that I hope they never fix. If a giant hits you and kills you, you fly so high up into the air that it looks like the giant was playing golf and you were the golf ball. Makes me giggle. I'll stop and save and do it all over and over again even. Or stop and save and ride a horse off a cliff.

Also, the game was designed for consoles and ported to the PC, so you aren't going to be missing much. I was going to buy a new gaming rig then figured out I'd be spending a few thousand less if I just bought an Xbox and went with it. Plus, all the time I spend at home playing Skyrim instead of getting trashed at the bar will help me save up for a new PC...

Well just how many video game addictions do you juggle? I keep 2 online games going currently on as I find it strikes the proper balance in giving my online allies the assistance they need.

Oh and thank goodness for headphones. I used to have to listen to explosions and gun fire for hours and now it's just clicking buttons.

I'm not sure that there is yet. I know with the whole Radiant Story thing many quests will change locations.
