does anybody actually have/know a gaming girlfriend besides shortman and trinity?

I fell out of my deathmatching ways after having the midget -- for lack of time, not desire to game.

Now I'm mostly stuck with console games, but I can't argue with a man that buys Splinter Cell because he thinks I'd like to shoot Commies.

Funny, it never turned me off. Then again, I grew up around it so I knew what to expect. My best friend's career Army too, but he's the other half of my brain and it's odd to think of him not serving (CAP in middle school, JROTC in high school, enlisted since and working on his degree with hopes of eventual commission).

On the note of things that vibrate, was anyone else piqued by the bit on the Pyramat in the July issue of MaximumPC (page 16, titled "The Gamer's Futon")? I'm not sure I'd want to sit on something that shakes and rumbles while I'm gaming, but I bet it'd amuse my kid.

And we still have our Intellivision. It's packed away since we don't have a spare hookup on the TV at the moment.
