To married people: What is your wife doing, while you play BG2

mikel · Post by **mikel** » Thu Dec 28, 2000 4:44 pm

It's really easy putting family and BG2 together. Me and my wife just sit here after some hours of playing BG2 together, drinking a glass of wine and scan through the posts.
Better than sitting in front of a TV watching some %&$§ quiz or soap.

BTW it helps if there are grandparents, our son is on vacation with them, nobody in the house disturbing us ( playing BG2

)

Alright, now I'm really jealous. My wife has no interest plying BG2 and I have no grandparents to hand the kid off to. Stuck with the one-arm-while-wife-is-at-work thing.

Hhhmmmmm,
looks like you are in need of good gym training if your family grows and BG3 is released: two babies in 2 arms and playing BG with feed ???

Would give a really good picture

My wife usually plays 'The Sims' on her PC.

Needless to say, it crashes every 5 minutes.

Does she have her own PC or did you configured that machine

mikel · Post by **mikel** » Fri Dec 29, 2000 5:50 pm

Now I'm even more confused. Just read your profile, you are a computer programmer and allow any PC in your house to crash ?

Are you working for MS ?

This is quite amusing!

@DeathBlow - you will be amazed at what you learn to do with one arm free after having a baby! lol! (that is once you have the confidence to hold your baby with one arm!)

Well I don't have a wife but to husbands count? Well I am fortunate - he works a twilight shift (2pm to 10pm) so I have every evening once the kids are asleep...so he is not REALLY a BG2 widower.

Weekends are soo hard though, going without gaming for one night (Saturday - the only evening we have together!) Sunday he plays snooker, I play BG.

So is there like a single-handed baby handling proficiency?

My husband is addicted to EverCrack (sob)

So I turned to BGII and Anomen for comfort

We have dual pc's networked together, side by side, we are TRUE nerds. He plays his and I play mine.

@Beaver - LMAO! Yes - I now have a two proficiency slot in baby and bib!

My lass usually plays on the computer next to me. We usually do the multiplayer thing with LAN. She likes Paladin, mages, theif. I do the Berzerker, Monk, Cleric stuff. About two weeks ago our second computer died..aaaarggghh!

You can't play BG2 by oneself. Just no fun! Our new rig came last week , imagine our relief.

I'm just trying to get my wife hooked on decent computer games. I bought myself a new computer so she could have a machine good enough to run these games on, still, if she games at all she plays Tetris, popcap.com's Bejeweled, Free Cell...you know, mind wasters. I think that she's afraid of the addiction...

Of course, after reading these posts I'm now sure I don't want kids; dogs are much easier!

We have 2 computers -she is playing BG2 while I'm playing BG2! Or she's downstairs playing violin.

Okay, I am only fifteen, but I thought it is mostly kids, adolescents that play games. I thought adults are either working or lecturing their kids about getting addicted to games.

that's just what we want you to think. we secretly waste just as much of our lives on video games as you do.
