when she saw Journey and even Flower she was genuinely captivated by the look of the games, and also surprised by her own emotional response. She found the fact that I was playing with someone I couldn't speak to intriguing.Sasukekun wrote:In essence my wife is the same. Thinks games are for kids and not a valid form of entertainment for adults, but will happily watch 'Housewives of xxxx' or 'The Only way is Essex'. She was however, intrigued by Heavy Rain and LA Noire, but she got bored watching pretty quickly and gave up on their stories after a while.revelthedog wrote:Yes she does.  And she hasn't seen Bayonetta in action but I know that she wouldn't agree with it. Just from the point that it doesn't add anything to the game unless you are a 14 year old boy. The difference with games is the interactive element. In Bayonetta her outfit is disappearing because of some button I have pressed. I'm making the decision to attack/ kick / shoot / knife that person. she's fine with Dark Souls because of the Fantasy Element. She actually was surprised you could be a female character.  I guess its partly because she deals with real victims of domestic abuse that she finds the glorifying of it to be quite frankly tasteless and in many ways pointless. She has always wondered why when the games industry have such a blank canvas of creativity, the next big thing is always about running around killing things.Roujin wrote:Does your wife watch any form of reality TV Revel?I'm happy that she has an opinion on it and that it is something she has tried to understand, especially since both my kids like playing games and she has tried to get involved.  I don't want my gaming to be something that I have to sit in a separate room to do, or wait until she has gone to bed or has fallen asleep. I don't appreciate what you said either. There was no need for it. By all means call me all the names under the sun, but don't disrespect my wife.XTC_NRG_4_DARKRAVER wrote:I wouldn't have married someone so judgemental, frankly.

Mouldywarp wrote:Biologically, a male's sexual attraction is likely to be more superficial than a woman's as he can fuck and fuck off, so to speak. If a female is impregnated then she has to invest (in humans) 9 months of her time and energy into the child before it's even born. Therefore in nature you see differing sexual strategies in males and females. For example, mating rituals that allow the female to test how dedicated the male is. Once she is satisfied he has invested enough in her to not make it worth his while to fuck off straight after sex she agrees to copulate.
This is all from the perspective of genetics rather than ethics, but these things will still influence us despite our ability to override our genetic pre-programming.

I know he was joking in OP, but then he wasn't joking when he complained about people joking. Or maybe his complaint was a second-tier metajoke. In which case, I was joking about his joke about his joke, in a third-tier metametajoke. And now I'm joking about your joking (were you joking?) about my joking about his joking about his OP joke, which makes this a fifth-tier metametametametajoke, or another third-tier metametajoke, depending on whether you were joking or not.Tempy wrote:OK Chump, feel bad for calling Fenton an idiot now.

Tempy wrote:Yeah, it does get a bad rap and it shouldn't. Although fairly simplistic and over sentimental, Caitlin Moran's How To Be A Woman should be required reading for all adolescents because it at least highlights that the whole scene isn't disgusted with men and also she talks about wanking and sex fantasies and she is genuinely funny.
