On a more serious note, my wife don´t play at all, the last game she played was Sonic the Hedgehog in the 90´s or something. Wish me luck trying to get her to play DA2 !! <_< *cries a bit*

If you figure out a way, let me know. I know my wife would enjoy DA:O but I can't get her to try it.

Does she enjoy romance? If so, just tell her it is an interactive romance novel.

I used to give my hubby a hard time about his gaming...then I played Splinter Cell with him on co-op. I loved it, because we did it together. We have played all 3 Halo games together, Army Of Two, etc. So, maybe try something where you can play with your lady. You never know, it might work....or not. Best of luck.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^

Get your gal to play something with you, be it Halo, StarCraft, Diablo II, whatever. You might be surprised at the outcome. That's how I got into gaming.

We've played Diablo and Diablo II together... she just doesn't like console gaming. Which is funny, because I started playing my RPGs on console in part because it was more of a shared experience when I played singleplayer stuff.

She asked me yesterday why there was Dragon Age stuff all over her facebook page, and what the heck Elder Scrolls was and why that was on there as well. Oops.

My husband and I are both gamers. So to solve the problem of game hogging he bought me my own tv and PS3. If we play the same game we"ve gotten two copies. Problem solved! It was his fault anyway for introducing me to gaming.

Pretty much this. I want to say that I gamed all the time before I met my husband, but that's just not really true. I gamed very occasionally, and only older games like Super Mario World when I had a free moment and wasn't writing or reading.

However, since my gaming/Bioware revelation of a year and a half ago, we've since made sure that we have our own gaming computers (though I admit I frequently steal his because his has the better graphics card), and since I don't really game on the console very often (because I suck at it, like, a lot), we don't usually have any problems with game-hogging. And, as my new, very-late Christmas present is an uber-awesome Alienware laptop, we'll soon have even less trouble with game-hogging.

Though he does know that I'm going to virtually diappear when DAII comes out. He likes Dragon Age just fine, but I've, well, made it an obsession, so he's been resigned to the fact that I'll be in love with the computer for the next few weeks since the game was first announced. I stopped playing WoW and LotRO with him to get all my saved games up to snuff, so I'm sure he wants to get DAII over with and have The Old Republic realsed so he can finally play with me again.

2011 is going to be a great year for games.

Tell him his porn has too much dialog and is therefore "womanly" as well.

...Except I kick his ASS at boss fights, which might cause some stress

In my early years of gaming I really stunk. I had to ask my oldest son to come and kill something for me more than once. Happily, I can now successfully beat the tar out of just about anything.

The solution is simple:

When DA2 makes it's arrival at your home, call your husband into the room. Pull out a shiny trinket of little material value. Wave said trinket vigorously around to capture his attention and then, when he is frothing at the mouth for it, pretend to throw in out the front door and instead palm it.

Since your husband clearly lacks the attention span of a grown adult, he will no doubt chase the "thrown goody" down the street. Now you are free to enjoy your new game for the next 2-3 days until he comes home, clothing shredded, with a spare tire wrapped around his neck. He will claim that he has found the trinket holding up a dead cat. Congratulate him and repeat the trick when you next wish to play.

I do what I can

[Fangirl17]

We're not married(yet ^^) but me and my bf are both gamers so this usually isnt an issue. I tried to get him to play Dragon Age but he cimplained about the graphics a lot and thought the combat was boring so he didnt get past Redcliff,but he's actually a little interested in DA2 I got him to play the demo and he praised the improvement of the graphics and said he enjoyed playing it :3 I dont know if it'll keep his attention for very long though.

He does tease me sometimes though and makes me feel a little guilty for playing games instead of being with him Im like(playfully) "shutup,you know I love you more than a video game x3"

[esigma444]

I hear you. My wife is not a gamer. But she does watch me play so it is that bad.

[Gvaz]

If your spouse has a problem with you playing a video game you have other problems other than the videogame

[PSUHammer]

I actually wish my wife was a bit of a gamer. It would be kind of fun. As it is, we both tend to get lost in our hobbies from time to time.  For me, I just say "Hey, I could be out at the bar every night...at least you know where I am!"  lol..

I personally think it is good to get away from your spouse and do your own thing, occasionally. Helps you stay sane and keep things fresh. We each do weekend getaways with friends here and there, as well as together.

Good listen to your man

My wife was good enough to try both ME2 and DA:O. She didn't like either of them, but she was nice enough to try them out of respect of my interests. I do the same for her. I still keep an account with the MMO she plays, even though I do not care for it. I even read the books she recommends even though its not my favorite genre. Its good to try what the other is interested in just to understand their point of view better.

That's how I started reading Russian novels, and my husband started listening to Bach.  Then we go back to playing video games, but - hey - variety!

I've always thought women had most of the control in the relationship, or am I just whipped.

Hate to break it to you, but your whipped. In my opnion no one should have more control then the other. It should be a equal understanding.

My gf and I are both gamers, and both of us being Dragon Age nuts (4 playthroughs for me, 3 for her). We'll just take turns at playing, each with his/her own playthrough. The only issue is about arranging a playing schedule to avoid spoilers

[RedWulfi]

LOL me and my boyfriend both are heavy gamers. We fight over the Xbox (In a playfull way) I let him play COD up to the 11th then he lets me play DA2 as much as I want. He will have Dawn Of War 2: Retribution to keep him occupied while my eyes are glued to the TV.

[NightmarezAbound]

My gf, when I gameis either sleeping, at work or, reading, so has no issue with us doing our own seperate things, as we know when it comes down to it,we know who the other wants in the long run, and we have both been married in the past so we know the meaning of our time,and then me time.
