OT but EB

[Dooz]

I love EB and my girlefriend. On the phone at nights, telling her about my daily conquests and follies. It takes a special kind of girl to give a hoot. Why is this post here? It is only here it could be posted because without it, none of this could be possible. Thanks EB!

EB:OB
Does a relationship good.

haha, awesome. was there ever any doubt?

tell her "Big John" sends his regards.



.. and say it with a real deep voice, like barry white..








... and have some marvin gaye playing in the background when you say it....

I thought the idea was when a guy called his girlfriend - to sit there and listen to all the crappy things that happened to her in the day and then earn brownie points by telling her everything'l be fine and that you love her.. I wouldn't dare talk about my hard days conquering on the phone to mine simply because i know she wouldn't care... Although when she comes to stay with me for a few months in june and starts playing the game herself she might find she likes it... And maybe THEN i could talk on the phone about my hard days conquest...

GAH! Where do you find girlfriends like that?

Most girls usually like to talk 25 hours a day about their own extreme problems (like "OMG I ran out of lipstick today and had to walk around an entire day without it, OMG it was SOOO embarrasing") and glorious achievements in their everyday life (like running 50 meters to catch a bus at the last second or similar), and don't seem to care if the man replies or not (well, after 15 minutes of silence they sometimes put up an angry face and the man wakes up and says "yeah I agree" and then they continue talking again with a happy face).

I don't know how you did it bro, but getting a girl to not only LISTEN to what you want to say, but also enjoy it, takes skills

You...haven't dated much, have you? Shockingly enough women run the same gamut of personality types as men do.

[jerby]

the day I tell any perosn fo teh opposite gender about Gaming I'd....I'd.....I'd....ehm..I would...ehm..

screw this...

[jebes]

My wife was not interested in this game at all until she saw me fighting with the Gaesatae. ... I haven't decided if this new interest is a good thing, but at least I get to play more.

[spirit_of_rob]

I would say this depends is she holding a ruler or anything?

[Dooz]

Yes. I am a lucky mo***rf****r.







Big John, get your own!

[PSYCHO V]

lol ..found the opposite myself..my wife is soooo... sick of EB it has almost brought our relationship to an abrupt halt several times.

[Dayve]

What means more to you... And be honest! EB, or your wife?

[Simetrical]

You...haven't dated much, have you? Shockingly enough women run the same gamut of personality types as men do.

But in different proportions. There's a reason stereotypes exist, and it's because they're true.

[Yun Dog]

my wife cares enough about me to humour me and pretend to listen when I tell her about EB

but then I humour her and pretend to listen to her talk about this customer and that person


yes dear

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I've had the good sense not to mention it to anyone I know in RL. But that might have poor side effects though. I somehow am quite sure I'll be talking about it to a shrink one day when I'm trying to explain what happened to me.

[mattholomew]

Wow, i've got some great pickup line ideas from this thread.

[Dooz]

Amen.

lol .. my whole family know about EB... not sure whether to applaud or refer me to psyche ward.

..rrr.. oh my wife of course. She's 'some-what' understanding though so I get time for EB.

Last night when I was playing with some concept ui changes my girl said that she is sooo proud that I make such pretty things... Live and let live. I wont'be picking on her devotion towards Desperate housewives either...

[Samurai Waki]

My girl friend shows no interest in EB, and I don't really force it on her. We get off work/College, eat dinner, hang out for a bit and I play EB until 3:00 AM and nobody is any the wiser.

That regime seems strangely familiar

[Forgus]

When do you reproduce?

[Slasher]

I would suggest in the 'hanging out' time?

[jebes]

I love the question, "when did you go to bed last night."

It's funny, "I can never remember exactly what time it was, I think it might have been about 1 o'clock"

Give or take about 3 hours, that is usually about right and my EB addiction continues for another weekend.

After I conquer Rome as the Sweboz! or sacking any other city for that matter, gotta pillage and ermmm...yeah, it just makes the blood boil.

[Divinus Arma]

My wife hates RTW. She HATES it.

I play and play and play and she hates it. She wants to burn my computer. She wants me to die. In fact... I think she is trying to poison me....






Actually, she is a pretty good sport. She puts up with the little playing that I do since I work my arse off.

Ok get this one...
I actualy wrote out a full explaination of my campaign on microsoft word... full with maps and pictures... almost like a history book. It spaned something like 30 pages.. then one night... dont ask me why... i sent it to my gf's email....
she was not impressed
the funny thing is I was impressed
"you see look it how this battle turned against Messor here... yatta yatta yatta..."
now she thinks i need to get out more

[spirit_of_rob]

No doubt there was a good reason for it at the time, that syuddnely didnt make any sense once u pressed send hehehe

Yeah, because all EB players are computer nerds, right?

Stereotypes are generalizations, and when you generalize, you're wrong.

[LordElrond]

Thats generally true but not always.
Hey lets make up a new cliche while we're at it!

Hey... that sounds like fun. Think you can send me a copy? I love reading that stuff .

You are in fact generalizing right now in saying that all generalizations are wrong, making you wrong. As it happens, generalizations are generally true or have some good reason for existing. Soon as a lot of people come to terms with these facts of life, there'll be a lot less arguing and feelings getting hurt over certain comments or stereotypes or yadda diddy doo da.
