...and I want to rip my hair out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

She keeps asking me like "is this a bad guy? should I shoot him?" And then when I do tell her to shoot him, she morphs into a ball and goes rolling around him!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes me want to rip the controller from her hand and just do it myself!!!!!!!!!!!

Now she's trying to escape from the space ship (the first level) and all I hear is "Travis, am I going the right away? How do I get out?" OMG just run and blow stuff up and you'll get out!

BlAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks goodness it's time for some supper. I think watching her is more nerve racking then playing the fricking game.

I had a girlfriends a few years ago (amazing in itself).

Anyways she wanted to play Ultima Online every time she came over. All she wanted to do was dress up her damn character and walk around town buying new clothes.

This is his girlfriend, and I am upset
He yells at me the whole time like I am supposed to know what to do. No, I know nothing and yelling helps me learn? Nope not for me.

Use the mini map (upper right hand conrer of the screen, looks orange/blue) or the full map (press the Z shoulder button on the controller)

Metroid is about exploration. Go everywhere :)

So? Was she having fun?
If she was then why does it matter if she was just wandering around town buying clothes?

Yes, but she needed to be out mining ore for my blacksmith ;)

It left me watching PBS or something because she would do it for hours at a time. Can't complain though. She let me go home one day and play in a tournament to see who the best players were on the server. I won of course :D

LOL, yeah, I know I know. I think she likes these computer games a bit. During Christmas break we finished Max Payne together and now she played Metroid Prime. She said the reason she didn't like it was because I wasn't helping her....I think it's because she just stunk at it :p

I'll have you know I am pretty good at video games. I just don't appriciate when someone is constantly yelling in my ear what to do. I catch on quick to a game, it just takes once and I know what to do...usually.

Isn't it painful to watch anyone other than yourself play videogames? They always do it wrong ;)
