Lol, yeh this works fine. The last time I saw this happen, I ended up banging my best friend's GF while the friend was happily playing Counter-Strike in my room. :rotfl:Sucker.

and your proud of that? :rotfl:

I'd bet that afterwards Dowly wished he was playing Counter Strike instead.:rotfl:

It's happenened a couple of times - just finished perfectly setting up on a convoy after a long approach/intercept, contacts everywhere, no hope of a "save" without the "crash of doom," - "Sweety, I need the computer."

Oh well, maybe I can reaquire the convoy tomorrow....

No, not proud, but the fecka deserved it. They got engaged that day and the fecka just played CS for a 5 or so hours straight as the rest of us were getting drunk and celebrating. We eventually got caught and he yelled his time there on the door, punched a hole to our bathroom door, went to a smoke and then he continued to play CS.

And my mom thinks that I have a problem playing too much video games.

LOL! That's exactly the same complaint my wife has! ""What is THAT annoying sound??""

I personally like my advice. Date/Marry a gamer, or at least a nerd. I've gotten my girlfriend interested in SH3, Das Boot, and so on. She's sat and watched me play before and loved every minute of it.

Now all we need is an apartment, and we can play at 1x time compression with the volume turned up at night:hmm:

There you go!!!

Myself on the other hand... I used up two girlfriends on the project.

I'd say start mentioning that you use the fact you lead the GWX team in your pickup lines. If her eyes light up and she says "Really?", I'd say you got a keeper

The title of this thread is probably the best proof of how good GWX is. When I think of all the things I do to annoy my wife, GWX being annoying has got to be a pretty powerful endorsement. Uhhh...excuse me while I get back to my campaign...

in my garage...

where my computer is.

Hehe. My wife is a nerd but a total non-gamer. She's a book reading nerd. Obnoxious noises annoy the hell out of her... and I'm an experimental musician who creates strange and annoying noises and wierd chaotic musical (or non-musical) instruments for a hobby. Go figure.

We have a tentative agreement. I don't work on my music or sonic sculptures/musiq concrete/noise music while she's home. A lot of my devices have no headphone plugs so they have to be reccorded with microphone unfortunately. I can use headphones for most stuff.. but it just doesn't feel right. I like the surround sound in this music room. It's nicer than headphones.

I think what I'm going to do is simply FIND that sound file, use my audio editor and quiet it down or save another wav file in it's place.

It may lead to additional troubles playing DWX 2.0 24x7 several months later using "the power of the Force, Luke".

I don't ever recall a thread quite like this.

Look what you made them do
