Yes, there are female gamers, I’m one of them! As for the dilemma, just how often do you do this? If it isn’t very, explain it to her and see if she’ll understand. If she doesn’t, you may not be as well off as you thought or you may be doing this more often than you thought. Offer her a trade, if you like. You spend a weekend saving the world by computer game and she spends a weekend doing whatever she likes that you don’t. One reason my hair’s in the state it’s in is given a choice between spending two hours in a chair getting foul-smelling concoctions dumped on my head and massaged into my scalp or spending two hours playing Knights of Cataan with a fellow who’s sweet, competitive, and rather vicious when it comes to games but very nice in other areas, I’ll take the latter!
I’d rather he didn’t dump me for a girl who plays games, XJETGIRLX, I’d be quite upset.
Seige, I think that’s very good advice and if we got to see each other as often as I’d like I would just leave him to it and find something else to do. However, since we haven’t seen each other in a little while, we’re compromising - I’m going to visit him and he gets to spend some of the weekend playing this game. I may even bring him beer (or at least the odd cup of tea) though I doubt I’ll be playing it with him.
sorry XJETGIRLX but i can’t now you’ve warned her can i?!
um, hi rekkah honey…
Well i was arguing that when they stop circling and move off it means their making an attack run death star stylee.
At that point you should get off the surface and get as deep as possible - sharks prefer to attack things on the surface.
He was arguing that you should punch it on the nose, which i felt was all very well in theory, but may prove quite difficult to achieve when there’s a big fuck-off shark coming at you.
I just ordered Rome: Total War for my husband; he should be getting it tomorrow or the next day. At which time I anticipate he’ll disappear into his playroom and I won’t see him for 3 days except when he staggers out to use the bathroom or rummage through the refrigerator.
Which leaves me free (when I’m not sleeping, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, chauffering children, helping with homework, supervising baths, etc.) to try for the “Revenge” ending on Silent Hill 3.
Some 15 years ago, I read in a Buck Danny comic that you’re supposed to scream at the shark to scare it away. It’s a bit tricky under water, but Buck pulled it off, so it must work.
Didn’t we have this discussion before I took my holiday over there? I even gave you cites. You punch it in the nose. The shark may prefer to attack things on the surface, but if it’s hungry and has decided you’re food, he’ll go after you no matter where you are (unless, of course, you manage to get out of the water).
Re how to defend against a shark attack, my first reaction on seeing a shark charging (does it charge underwater, of flow?) would be to piss in my pants/trunks. The ammonia of my urine would definitley make me a stale meat for the shark. So piss hard!!
