Yeah, it's just women. It's not like working in a virtual world to receive virtual rewards is weird.

My wife wants to play LOTRO but she has no sense of rpging and cant figure out the keys/mouse controls..So she watches in confusion...lol


But she has been on my case about playing some of my wargames.....Don't think she is ready for Europa but maybe a Z-man game... I have a few but I actually never broke the shrink or played any of them.....Any suggestions from anyone who actually has played a z-man game?

I have always been amazed at the level of "nonsense" our women put up with. Even after 27 years of marriage my wife still restocks the refrigerator in my game room. This sweet woman has never, not once, raised hell about my gaming. I have a much lower level of tolerance for most things she likes doing, such as gardening, cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, laundry, exercising...So why does she put up with me??

LOL, my children always called my room a "cave". You are really lucky if your wife is watching Hitler's Secret Weapons-on her own no less.

But she tolerates me.

I too have been given the "look".

About 10 years ago I overheard my wife tell a friend "watch South Park and you will understand any man, they are those little boys, and the boys are our husbands". That was an epiphany.

All joking aside, my wife has told me several times she is glad I am in my "cave", and not in a bar.

So when they were originally on television I was working a crappy job, had no girlfriend, and ate garbage while I watched Beavis and Butthead and played video games. Now it's fourteen years later and I am working a crappy job, have no girlfriend and eat garbage while I play video games and watch Beavis and Butthead on television....that's like the circle of life...or something.

Mrs D certainly doesn't. Despite the fact that she thinks the Twilight films and Britain's Got Talent are entertainment she still thinks that wargames are 'sad'
