Halo 3 Widows...

My hubby got Halo 3 and hasn't quit
playing since it came out. We were
supposed to have a totally fun night,
invited some friends over, etc. And they
all are now playing Halo 3. And I HATE
Halo! I'm terrible at it!!
::::::::rolling eyes::::::
The sad thing, he's not gonna grow out of
it. His dad still plays video games.
What did I get myself into???? Anyone in
a similar situation??? I have been left
for a video game....

I know how you feel. My hubby goes over to
his friend's houses two or three nights a
week to play video games. It usually is
Halo 2 or 3.

If you read my post, I did play along with
my hubby on the first two. I absolutely
hate it. I wouldn't care if he still made
a little time for other things, but it's
all he wants to do now and it doesn't
really involve any women. Kind of a men
only thing.

omg I know exactly how you feel. It's
pathetic, he gets home from work at 4 and
spends like 2 hours with me. He plays from
8 at night till 2 in the damn morning.
It's such a pain, he doesn't realize how
horrible he's making me feel. I hate that
stupid game! Plus he plays it online and
talks to other video game retards on his
head set. It's really making me sad that
he'd rather play a video game then spend
time with me. It's a miracle I haven't
broken the stupid game yet.

For all you "widows"... why not try
playing the game with your men? I'm a gamer
myself, and I think the game is great XD
And yes, I'm terrible at it too.
And for all of you going on about video
games teaching kids to be soldiers... Grow
Up. It is a GAME. And HALO is NOT a
children's game. It is marketed for
adults. There are many games out there
that children cannot even legally BUY.
Why? Because they are ADULT video games.
What's the common word here? GAME.
Football is a game. Baseball is a game.
It's recreational.
Video games do not make people violent.
Music does to make people violent. Bullies
at school and parents who ignore/abuse
their children: THAT is what makes kids
violent.
Do I agree that playing from 8 pm until 2
am is excessive? Of course! But TALK to
him. Work it out together.

I played Halo 2 with him and I sucked and
it pissed him off. He takes the game way
to seriously. But he takes everything way
to seriosly. And he only has one
controller.. so can't play halo3 with him.
Trust me if I could I'd play with him. I
hate the game but I wanna spend time with
him.
I have talked to him. He just whines that
all he does is work blah blah blah and
that it's not like I have anything better
for him to do. Which is true, we're saving
money for the baby so it's not like we're
going out alot. But still, I'm pregnant
and emotional and I want time with the
Daddy to be before the litte one gets
here.

Tell that to the game developers who work
100-hour weeks and have the potential to
make six-figure incomes. And how about the
games like Rumble Roses and Gears of War
that are geared at an adult audience?

Gotta agree with this. My BF and I are
both gamers and we usually play a few
rounds of Super Smash Bros. when I visit
him. I lose to him, but by a slim
margin....oh how I will rub it in the day
I win . He will have to
sulk away with his tail between his legs
knowing his girlfriend beat him at his
game.
But I have heard a lot of women whining,
"Ohhh my hubby dont do nuttin but play dem
vide0 gameez al d4y" and never once did
they think to play the game with their
partners. Even if it's a lousy game, it's
still time spent with your partner doing
something together.
If he's playing waaaaay too much, I
suggest talking to him about it. Taking
his games or destroying them is immature
and will probably just make him resent you
or he may return the childish favor and
take something of yours and hide or break
it. If you need to go to counseling, then
do so, although I don't think throwing
money away to someone who will nod at you
and tell you what you already know is
necessary to deal with this kind of
problem.

oh for GODS Freaking SAKE.
LOL Good thing u arent over there
protecting us.. because you'd be shooting
at them with your Laser guns and throwing
balls of fire.
My grandfather used to make the games that
taught the soldiers how to fly.. they
arent GAMES.
Do u actually think that the military is
investing in PS3 to teach them how to fly
billion dollar vessels and fight to
protect a country of billions?
LOL
Ignorance is bliss.

I like video games. He likes video games.
We play each other sometimes and it's
bonding.
I just can't get upset if he's playing
something all the time. He doesn't need
to spend every waking hour doting on me
and my needs. He's got a life, he can do
what he wants with it.
If you leave him alone and not say
anything instead of pester him it pays off
later.

The thing is, I do like a lot of our video
games and sometimes play with him when I
have time (though I have a lot less free
time than him!). But it's just Halo that I
really hate, and especially since Halo 3
came out and it's taking up ALL his time.
I know the novelty will wear out soon.
But to whoever was saying that video games
are for kids, his 90 year old grandparents
just bought a Wii so they can play golf in
their living room!! Anyway I wouldn't let
my kids play Halo.

I wouldn't let a kid under 15 play HALO
either. It's too violent. When (if) I do
have kids, video-game and TV time will be
very restricted.
I will also pay close attention to the type
of games I buy for my children. There are
ESRB warnings for a reason, and that is to
assist people in buying appropriate games.
As a gamer myself, I know
what's appropriate and what's not.
