I can't believe it, I finally got my Dual P III 650 up and running just the way I need it to, and so I set up my old P II 400 for my wife to use. So, just for chits and giggles, I threw on QIII and UT so if my brother comes over we can game. Well, I was showing he how to play, and she all of the sudden got interested. Now she wants to play quite a bit.

Now here is a woman who hated that I played this, because the base from my system rattled the house, but now we have 2 PCs running SB Live cards with awesome speakers. Now it sounds like a war zone here. ILOVE IT. Now I can share even more with this incredible woman. Who knows, maybe a husband and wife team in some online games once I get DSL.

Romance: spending quality time with each other, sharing each other's secrets, blowing each other into tiny giblets. :D

Just get her onto ICQ er somethin so you guys can talk when you take Quake breaks. I mean, it'd be too much trouble to turn the chairs around to talk to each other. You have email to check n' stuff.

She is what is commonly known in the world of male chauvinism as a KEEPER

Yep she is a keeper, I knew that the day I asked her to marry me. Now that she Quakes, and she also is trying her hand at UT, she is really a keeper :D (lol). No but seriously, she was an accounting major, but now she is going over to Computers, software, hardware. She mainly is concentrating on DBMS.

What a GAL. BTW, She is a REDHEAD who hates to lose. She was really trigger happy last night on those bots. :Q

My girlfriend played Quake 2 SP all the way thru a couple of years ago when I put together a box from my upgrade refugees. She'd call me up screaming &quot;where the hell is the [whatever she was stuck at]?&quot; I'd have to fire up Q2 on my machine and noclip thru the map to find where she was at and walk her thru whatever snag she was in. She played a good way thru the Ground Zero mission pack too. She gave up when it got too hard and frustrating. I fired up her last save game to see what her condition was and got good and dead real fast! It was ridiculous how over-oppositioned that part was. I'm surprised she made it that far.

We're talking about getting a place together and I'll definitely have our PCs networked on a pr0n pipe, so maybe she'll start playing again.

visgf Played Diablo II like crazy in the summer. You should have seen her when her Amazon got the Valkyrie skill. Sheesh! You'd think she was given an S4 or something :D

She also plays Age of Kings.
