I am one of the Lucky few that has a gaming Wife, in fact one that is better then me at a number of games, including Hardcore CoD
(She was ranked No1 on iGame Delta Server for more than a year with over 65 000 Kills ot her name)
That said though, and I do love gaming, have ever since I got my First taste of the inside of an arcade in the 80's, I would give it all up in a heartbeat.
Circuitry and Resistors can't replace the Human Need to connect to another individual, neither can Float Point Calculations or Geometry Based Pixel Coloring.
I do understand that sometimes it is easier, for people like me, to isolate yourself from the world and others by sitting infront of a machine of some description and yes, that has its merits too, but there has to be a balance, if the Human Species loses that ability or desire to connect to each other completely, internalizing to the point where the virtual becomes preferrable to the reality of our lives, we are doomed as a species.
Also, and I've given this advice to Spartan as well on one occasion, when guys take a girl out on a first date, please, for pete's sake, don't take her to a party where everyone calls you "Deathbringer" or some other variant of your online persona.
This inevitably leads to awkward questions ......
