MyVoucherCodes said Call of Duty was rated the game most likely to start a row between a couple.


'You said you weren't going to buy MW2 after the whole server business...' ;)

When it came to women, 72 percent of men said they thought their partner spent too much time on the internet, but only six percent saw this as a reason to end the relationship.


Logic FTW! :lol: ;)

My ex used to spend literally days on end on line. At one stage, I think she was a mod or something on Heroia Mu. There was endless clicking of the mouse while pretty shiny things happened on the screen. Endless I tell you!

However, when the weather was hot she did so topless. It's a compromise I was quite happy with :lol:

My girlfriend can't understand the Internet and why people would want to sit at a computer looking at a web browser, instead of "doing something".

I have a few mates who I play MW2 online with. Unfortunately some of them have partners who chastise thrm for spending too muh time online. One guy has been banned for seven days. He's getting married so he doesn't want to kick up a fuss.

I can believe that. My wife doesn't like the amount of time I spend on here. I can't see the issue. Either I sit with her and say nothing while she watches Eastenders etc (which I hate), or I sit next to her and say nothing while I'm on here. I fail to see the difference.

Blokes who like gaming are picking the wrong women then.

Last night my GF asked me to play the PS3 so she could watch, she likes watching games with a storyline seeing as their's frak all on TV and it's easier than reading :D

I know, I'm lucky, she bought me a gaming chair for Christmas and she's Scandinavian. Not sure what else there is to ask for really. ;)

LMFAO! :lol:

I spend too much time on the internet because I have nothing better to do. If I had a girlfriend, I would be online a lot less!!

Because it's like a costume drama, just with more gore and bumping into people.

I come on here when I have nothing else better to do - which at the moment is all the time.

When my gf comes up to live in February you'll see a fair bit less of me. Given a choice between the internet, the tv or the posterior of much magicalness, which would you choose?

Come on - you shouldn't have to be told to turn the abacus off; you should want to. And the same goes for her and Eastenders, X-factor or whatever.

Long walks and longer conversations FTW!
