Appoint the 5 year old girl to tell me if her two older brothers eat any of dad's fudge.

You have a great wife. I want some peanut butter chocolate fudge. It sounds great. Best part about your post was the kids scheming to consume the fudge.

Very nice post.
I almost couldn't hold my smile with my boss by my side haha
1. Be a girl gamer.
2. Date only gamers. Or be single (at least this way you don't have to ever pick up socks off the floor haha).
Much shorter plan. And there's like 100 places that deliver restaurant quality food if I get tired of snacks.
Now if only I had a job that paid me less so I would actually feel inclined to give away my 8 hours today. But I think of it as... today paid for my HOTN pack and zen.

No what you need is a job that you are on call all the time but you get paid obscene amounts of money, also they only call you in on Mondays for about 3 hours 1pm-4pm and wednesday for about 4 hours 10am-2pm
I married my gamer. I had to give him the pouty face in order to justify getting the Hero of the North pack. At least now he knows I'll be happy and occupied while he's at work today!
Made my day. I tried to talk my wife into rearranging her work schedule so that she would not work this weekend, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. I should have started sooner with the planning - 12 years would have been about right.

Great post! It sort of falls in line with what's going on around me. You should tell your wife to drive to the mall and do a bit of shopping for herself!

I hate on-call, brrrr... IT on-call is basically... go put out the fire at midnight. No, thank you, sir.

Oh maybe add step 3: make more money than the hubby :P.
Though when a gamer spends 100+ each month on Steam and Xbox, they have zero to whine about a 300 dollars once in a while haha.

She gets to do that often enough. Someone once asked me "Sir, you make a bit of money, how much do you make?" i replied "That's a great question, let me call my wife!"
If you have a wife that is cool with your gaming that be sure to hold on to her and be thankful. Different women have different ways in which they feel loved. Some like to be told, some like to be touched. some like to be just like for you to be near. Some like it when you do little things for them some like it when you give them things. and often it is a combination of the above and other things.
Figure out what she needs to feel loved and then make sure she gets it. You do that and you will likely have all the gaming time you need.

HAHA! Now you are either a girl trying to play with our minds or a bloke trying to think like a women!
Either way, I had a good laugh
It all seems so simple when you put it like that mate!
