Join the Dark Side....I'll be your dealer
Okay, ladies, I know you are out there because you are emailing me and commenting here. You know you want to try it. Stand up with me and take back the computers! We can totally form a guild of former Gaming Widows and making it the Gaming Widower-Makers.
If you read my "How it all began", you know that I had great loathing for this game and everything associated with it. But, ladies, I have to tell you...shhhhh...it's kind of fun.
And the payback! Oh, honey child, the payback.
Here are some examples:
Male: When is dinner going to be ready?Widower-Maker: Can you NOT see that I am in the middle of a Quest? I should be asking you. When is MY dinner going to be ready?
Or you can do the reverse of what we have said for years:
Male: Honey, are you coming to bed soon?Widower Maker: Be there in a bit. Once I finish this instance...they are usually only a few hours. Just go on without me.
And then the ever popular:
Male: You have totally been neglecting me since you started that game. I miss you. Can't we spend some time together?Widower Maker: I've told you. Just get another computer and start playing again. I promise you'll like it and we will be spending time together that way. Just think, we could loot, and raid and quest together. But, you'll need to figure out what to do with the kids first.
Oh, yes, ladies, the tides are turning. Join me on the dark side. (I will even teach you some of the most creative forms of non-cussing cussing you have ever heard. You'll need it.)

I've told you. Just get another computer and start playing again. I promise you'll like it and we will be spending time together that way.
Bwahahahaa. I can't remember how many times I heard this from the S.O. before I started playing Warcrack, and how many times I responded, "Warcraft time does not count as intimate time!"
Now I'm all like, "C'mere, you sexy troll rogue you!" /kiss /hug
*walks over to the dark side*
I think I might hate you. I bought the damn thing yesterday and didn't go to bed until 12:30am. But at least there's competition now with the blankety-blank XBox 360 at our house.
I'd have to say I've already joined the dark side, although it's with a different massively multiplayer game. City of Heroes/Villains. Much the same premise, just with Superheroes! My husband talked me into it, and I agreed with much reluctance. The result? Um....well, I don't think I made a blog post for two months, blogging time and playing time both being after the kids are in bed. Now, I think he's regretting it, since he's gone back to college, and the time I get to spend playing, he has to study!
hehe I loved this article. I had a bit of a head start on you though. I "won" a copy of an mmo called Asheron's Call back in 2000 and I played that for 4 years before switching over to WoW for a year. My life has never been the same. :p Yes they are addicting, but it's not really the game, it's the people, the community for me. Well ok, it's the game too, and yes creative language is heard around my house too. ;) Keep it up! Oh and btw, I just turned 48, so it is not just the younger female generation turning to gaming. :D

You're as bad as the WarCrack dealer that got hubster hooked! And now I'm debating doing some Mommy/K-monster (my 1st grader)time today on WOW. He's only got school for about an hour today and he'd be in HEAVEN if I told him we're playing WOW together today. I swear at least twice a week he begs me to play my character so he can help me. Yes, he's an addict too. Maybe we'll do that instead of grocery shopping! Who needs food, right?
