Hehe 6 player worms... it can be soo funny im surprised it aint censored!
Aye, that game is a mostly-unknown classic. :D

3D was so ridiculously hard. I couldn't even move proper. (Returned the day I bought it.)

Oh dear, just be laughing with my wife about this thread.

Her response was (to some of the suggestions mentioned about how to "occupy" the wife while I play X3):

"DON'T YOU TRY ANY OF THOSE xxxxING TRICKS, KNOW GET OFF THE LAPTOP, YOU ARE DOING MY HEAD IN"........

Can't win can we blokes!?!

I quit X3 ever since my college starts again and cannot understand why would anyone drag their female companion into a unproductive life of videogaming.

Remember, when you are playing X3, you are interacting with machine, not even live person.
what's the difference between that and watching a movie or a T.V. show, besides the fact that gaming actually uses your brain?
for the record, I don't watch TV, and watching movies teach you new knowledge and expand your intellectual horizon. Playing game will only lead you to one result (becoming rich/powerful, etc), it's a pointless and repetitive activity. I would rather use the create-ship command then wasting my time in real life for GPPCs, etc.

BEWARNED - X3 = less time with "her" that may lead to no "her" at all.

@EGOSOFT - why didn't you put a warning on the box :roll:
that's life, you live and you learn. you make a choice, sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong, but were always learning and it's the learning that shapes the next choice we make in life.

good point, the ops problem very may be more about them not having very much going on other than eachother and work. Even without tryign to find X3 time... married couples need their own interest and time to do them.

If you sue Egosoft you will lose. Quote from the manual:

Getting Started
Welcome to X³: Reunion
‘Say goodbye to social life and/or sleep’

Egosoft delivers as ordered. You also clicked on the 'i agree' part on the eula when you installed X3 :roll:

Place your pc desk and pc beside the sofa then while your partner sits watching the tv you can sit beside her and play X3 to your hearts content thats how i solved the problem now i never have any moaning about always being on the pc and never spending time talking to my partner. Oh yes and there is the added bonus of all that extra comfort with my wireless K/B on my knee i can sit back on my sofa in comfort much better than that horrible computer chair.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I used to live in a 32m^2 appartmenet with my wife. She sat next to me with her laptop and she kept yelling at me every time i leaned back with my chair as my chair was right next to the tv. 'hey, i cant see the tv!'.

Now she sits in the living room tapping on her new laptop i bought her and im in the 'working room' tapping my desktop pc. Now she can watch Oprah and Dr.Phil as much as she likes without my back interfering with the picture

Life is a bliss. :roll:

:D

I got it all figured out. My wife works day shift and I took a 3rd shift position. The only time we see each other is at 8:00pm when I get up to get ready for work. She's already left for work in the morning when I get home so I can get in several hours of gaming before I go to bed at noon.

Weekend days are work time around the house, but I can usually get a little bit of play time on Friday or Saturday night.
The new PC I just built for myself:
i5-13600k, 32GB DDR5 RAM, RTX 3060 12GB
It'll do until I can upgrade the graphics card.

Dont get me wrong here, im not gay but sometime i just think it would be much easier. Us guys should band together and form a lodge style club but for gaming. then we can say " honey im off to the lodge " like my dad did.
Anyway the fight continues.

Well, that was well worth dredging up a four month old thread, wasn't it?
