Obviously you are being your typical tool self again. Every post you make makes you look more and more like a douche bag. Theres a difference between being married and being single... and you talk like a single person. if you are not willing to be "pussy whipped" then you are too immature to handle a marriage. Marriage is about a union between too people... not just a fucking title. Women are usually more attention needy than men. Its part of their social aspect and can go all the way back to anthropology to explain. The female brain is developed around socialization.... if you abandon your wife for a video game.. you are putting something FAKE in front of someone that love you and something that is real. As for planning to fuck... dude grow up... have kids.... and more importantly a job (since you hate republicans i'm guessing you hate working too). Its hard to find time to do anything ... so YES alot of couples do require planning time to have sex.
You dont sound qualified to be making those claims. Maybe in 10 or 15 years when you're 25 you can but not now.
Lol... POKEMON FTW!!!! You sir... win the internet for your awesome... overpowering, most relevant flame. You can derail my entire post by simply being ignorant and saying I'm 10-15... but yet, I have been on this site since August 2009... and my profile has said 25 years old since ... i don't know my last birthday?
Congrats mate! Heres the thing though. You won't be playing anything with a new born in the house.... period!
At first its a 2 hour feeding, changing, burping routine that goes on for a while. You'll be flat out just getting enough sleep just to function at work.
Thanks! I know I'll have my hands full, but I'm not worried about enough sleep for work lol. The wife gets 3 months off paid from her job, so she can bet her sweet ass that she'll be the one up at night while I sleep!
I actually got more gaming done in the weeks following the birth of my kids than I do now that they are a few years old. Not in the first few days, but once the baby is settled into a routine of wake up -> put him or her on the boob, you're good to go. Unless your wife can't manage a sleeping infant sucking on her tit by herself. I know a couple guys that had to be there for every minute of the late evening and overnight wake ups. Poor bastards.
The wife doesn't want her boobies to sag, so she's sticking to formula! That's all that matters I guess! I'm confident I'll have some time to play D3, but it won't be like the old days of raiding in EQ and WoW, on top of playing lots of D1 and D2.
Been married for 15 years next month, and I just have to do my gaming after she goes to bed. That way you aren't replacing her with gaming.
I worked Mid shift/Nights (2pm to 1-4am) for 2 years... and i while i thought that was working successfully... she'd be so mad when she'd wake up at 7am in the morning and i was till gaming... or had fallen asleep on the couch/ at my desk.
Yes you are only replacing your sleep which is pretty common in gaming
It can be rough if I am having a lot of fun and don't get to bed as early as I would like. I have two kids, and I have to wake up when they wake up. Coffee is my best friend.
In response to the title question, with a computer. *rimshot* But seriously, if you "aren't allowed" to play as much as you'd like because you're married, you probably have bigger problems than video games. If you compromise with your wife and/or each understand that the other has hobbies and account for that, then you probably have a mature/successful marriage.

i would choose my own religion and worship my own spirit, but if he ever preached to me i wouldn't want to hear it. i'd drop him, a forgotten god, languishing in shame; and then if i hit stormy seas, i'd have myself to blame.
D3 seems much more manageable in terms of time than w0w ever could be. You may not *want* to stop, but it's not like you need a group to have fun, and you don't have to dump 4 hours into it to have a good time. There's certainly no guild/kiddie-politics in place, and no need to synchronize your time wth 10/25/40 people.

Very true, and a good reason why I'm excited for it to finally be out. Even with my current schedule, it's really tough to play any competitive games without interruptions, like LoL, Dota2, or SC2. With D3, I can put it down and come back when I am able.
I won't have much time for D3 between the wife and kid, but there will be open hours here and there for it. During those times I'll be leeching off of my friends with much more time to play than myself
I would do the whole game after she goes to bed thing, but my wife gets all out of shape if we don't go to bed at the same time. She likes to be close etc.
I will just have to play for 3-4 hrs a week tops =/
Were you not gaming before you got married with your wife? surely you two have been together for a while before tying the knot?
What is there to say really... everything with moderation? play D3 when you have your personal time, don't ignore the wife, etc etc. Pretty self explanatory.
This.
My soon to be wife is a non-gamer. We accept each other for who we are so she's with me knowing that games are a part of my life. I also have a 6 year old boy. The big thing is compromise. I generally play games after the family is in bed; however, this doesn't mean I do it every night either. There are also times where we do our own thing, which means I can play then too. She actually encourages me to play sometimes so that I have "me time", much like I encourage her to take time to do the things she loves.
It's never been an issue really. Because I love her and my son it never feels like a sacrifice to leave the games behind for a couple days and spend time with them. Sure I'll never be a "world's first" anything (like first 60), but I don't feel like I am missing out either.
My wife thinks video games are dumb. the only thing I can talk her into playing is mario kart...and that is only really fun for a couple months. But before we got married it was understood that I would spend a portion of my free time playing. The best time of the year for me is actually when the Bachelor/Bachelorette is on, because that's 2 hours a night when I can play without "neglecting" my wife.

lol. This is my wife too. Luckily, my wife works Monday-Friday and I work 40 hours on Wed-Saturday. That leaves Monday and Tuesdays very open for me to explore extra-curriculars

It's a balancing act, but it's the best I can do.

Oh god, that would be creepy. Or just saying Diablo, it would be ESPECIALLY creepy if Diablo DOES turn out to be a chick in this one.
