But penny she likes the sound effects
"arrroooogah arrroooogah Dive Dive Dive"
"flood negative to the mark ten degrees down bubble"
"all ahead flank"
:lurk:
her favourite part is the kurt jurgens impression at the the end.
"Torpedo's Los"

Kind of reminds me of that song, how does it go - something about the wife said she would leave if I went fishing one more time,
I'll sure miss her.

I'm not complaining at all about my girlfriend and GWX. She watches me play :smug:
And as for "intimate acts", the campaign loading screen works well for me, considering it takes a long time to load anyway.:up:

And and update the manual too - refrain from intimate acts whilst running silent! Those destroyers are good enough, they don't need any more help finding you. Your vow of celibacy will pay in extra tonnage my friends :up:

And the other one by Guns N Roses, "I used to love her but I had to k............."
I find it hilarious when my wife randomly repeats something she's heard in the game, usually "Alaaarm!!!" if something bad happens, or "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun" if I ask her something. Not often it happens, but very funny when I don't expect it!
Another great thing about her is that this year for my birthday she bought me a little wind-up submarine (that dives and surfaces!) for the bath from eBay. :rotfl:
Only problem is that the bath isn't long enough for full enjoyment to be had :nope:

Its often a kiss, and ''hey Kaleun, im going to bed''
Then without looking away from the screen, "huh? ya, ok, cya"
After that its often suddenly," shiff gesighted"
Many hours later, i dive in the bed, very cold, and ready to dream.

My GF knows when I break out the heineken and my Knights Cross. That I will be unavaible for at least five hours. However the following day she usually makes me take her to the salon, when I could be out at Sea with the crew of U-723.

Just a suggestion.:yep:
I just found this thread, so I'll hop in with my opinion :hmm:
Penny, Men depend on small 'releases' in life. Namely, beer, food, and GWX. There's an inherant understanding between women and men that "I'll let you do your stuff if you let me do mine". For example, Frau_Phillips may decide she wants to go clothes shopping. Pardon the pun, but that sets ALAARM bells off in a man's mind. Thats a day signed away, is that.
However, a man may use his male mind to assess the possible benefits for himself. i.e. "If I go, it'll shut her up so I can play GWX, and maybe I can convince her to purchase some sleek lingerie."
Now once again, this comes into the male talent of taking two great things, and making something better than those things, from those things. In this case:
Clothes Shopping + Women = Day gone ~ Evening + Men = GWX
_________________
Clothes Shopping + Women + Husband = Provocative ensembles + Evening GWX + Loading Time Sex.
_________________
The same can be related in other instances, such as housework, cooking and looking after the neighbours cat. The typical response is thus:
"Husband has cooked me a nice meal for tonight (Bangers and Mash :rock: ), maybe I should make him something to keep him alert when he's playing that stupid game."
Everything I wrote above is of course complete crap, and you just read it all. :88)
The bottom line is, yes, we guys play too much GWX. But we'll stop playing so much GWX when you meet our demands too:
Stop watching crappy soap operas
Stop peeking at the neighbours through the curtains and assuming we care that they have a new fence
No, we dont want to hear what Claire from the post office heard about Roger the Pedophile
Stop moving furniture around when we're out of the house.
"But I have a splitting headache" does not mean we're no longer interested. We can get sick too.
Dont get angry at us when we drink. We enjoy beer, just as you enjoy talk shows.
Refrain from vacuuming when we are listening for a convoy
No, we are not anti-social. Every spoken word is a potential blip on the enemies sensors. I'll take my submarine over Dennis from over the street with his stupid argyle vest anyday.
No, we are not being lazy. We are pro-actively ensuring the safety and security of the house and the contents and people therein. Even if we are sat on the couch with a beer.
Its really fantastic, that new kind of shampoo you bought yourself, however, seeing as we'll never use it, please dont feel the need to inform us of beauty products you purchase, just as we dont inform you of the brands of alcoholic beverage/computer part/video game we buy.
(I'm only kidding of course, but flame away! :rotfl: )
Wel if you ask me, some of you guys are lucky to have wives in the first places..... :rotfl:
Some of us are lucky not to have one :smug:

Today I checked my GUI thread, turned to my GF, and said:
"Friedl9te says I'm his hero!" :lol:
She gave me a look over the top of her magazine. Sensing an opportunity to wind her up, I asked:
"How come you've never said I'm your hero?"
To which she replied in a pointed tone of voice:
"Because you're not my hero. You're Friedl9te's hero."
Damn, I walked into that one. :damn:

My wife got one of those for our son last spring. We kept it outside in his little wading pool (he turns 4 next month).
I played with it more than he did.
My wife kind of knew that would happen when she bought it.:D

When she peeks in the 'command room' to see if I'm busy and she can ask a quick question, she whispers, 'Are we silent running'?
If she needs me, though, for something right now she leans around the door and yells, "Al-laaaaaarm!" (Does a damn fine imitation of that too!!)

On weekdays, I come home so tired I cannot even think about sinking ships. And even if I did, I only have three hours to have dinner, play with the cat, talk to the wife and then hope I don't go to bed too late to get a good night's sleep!

If you really want to push the wife/girlfriend over the edge, do what I do. Give your computer girls names and put pictures of them on your desktop. (Make sure they're wholesome mind you). My Desktop, I call Rogue and it has a picture of a comic cover of Roge from the X-Men on it, and my laptop is nammed Laura and it's wallpaper is a picture of a character created by me for City of Heroes.
Then make sure to change your windows sound files to make it seem like the girls are talking to you when you do stuff.
When I shut Rogue down, she says "The girls are right ! You are a charmer !":rotfl:
I have half a mind to get ahold of my wife's laptop and put the Rogue wallpaper on it and have it say on boot up "Keep your mits offa' mah man !!!" :rotfl:
I did this all in response to my wife beginning to get jealous of my computers. hehe. Now she's used to them.. even though she calls them my "Square headed mistresses".
