Re: Time to play
To solve the balance issues between my hobby addiction (computers) and my wife, I got her interested in computers.
But I dont think that will work this time. If I got her interested in Dominions I would LOSE!
OFTEN!
And way too quickly!

Re: Time to play
I tried the “get the girlfriend interesting in computers” trick and it worked… I ended up playing a lot of multiplayer Diablo as a Paladin, while she was an archer Amazon. That meant I got to wade into the melee and get pounded while she stood back safely and fired arrows into the mix. Even in computer games I get the dirty jobs! Also popular was sneaking up behind me in Half Life with a crowbar… She never did go for single player games, but as I have a LAN at home, the multiplayer option worked out pretty well for us. Shame the relationship didn’t work out as well. The new one is a journalist and thinks computers are for working, so I have to start the enlightenment process all over again.

Hah!
My girlfriend is almost as much into computer games as I am (just stretching things a bit), only mostly not the same games. She's owned a PC for almost as long as I have, way before we managed to move in together - now of course we have a LAN, even though we haven't managed to play something together. Pity she's not into wargames or strategy games, though.
And I'm the one who works with computers. Just not too much at home.
