My wife is like a cat; she doesn't care if I'm in a plex, on a roam, or camping EC-P8R, she just climbs all over me, crawls in my lap, gets in my face, demands the attention and recieves it...oblivious or uncaring to the number of ships, kills, or ISK it costs me.

SUPER EFFECTIVE!!! D:<

Last night, she even had the audacity to comment, "You're losing so many of your ships, lately...why is that?"

=-__-=

Also, before bed the other night, this:

Wife: "Which ship is mine?"

Me: "How about that one?" *points to a Thorax*

Wife: "You gave me that one because it's a crappy ship, didn't you?"

Me: "No, that's a pretty popular cruiser, I think it's a good ship."

Wife: "How about all of them?"

Me: "You don't even play, why do you want all my ships?" *cue laughter*

Wife: "I don't care, just tell me they're all mine, make me happy!"

Me: *resigned sigh* "Sure, dear...they're all yours."

Wife: :3
Every time I post is Pardy time! :3

I used to get GF agro, then one day she listened in on fleet comms and was highly a,used at mentions of fighting pirates, now whenever she walks past and I'm playing Eve she starts humming or singing

and then she ends up giggling away to herself for quite some time. Women really can be odd at times but whatever...

"Honey.... Do you want to watch this movie with me? Come spend time with me."

Sometimes it's not a whine at all... it's something much... much worse.

"You get your ass in here and spend time with me, or I'll kick that damn triple screen in."

It's called wife aggro, and it's a serious problem. I'm currently in pre-production for the next High Drag podcast, and I need your stories... and tips... about your own wife / girlfriend / significant other aggro. The plan is to read the tips and stories on the podcast, and I will even throw in 100 million ISK to the winner of the best story (selected by the High Drag team).

If you wish to remain anonymous just say so in the message or post. Feel free to post your story in this thread, send an ingame mail to kyle yanowski, or send an e-mail to keepitlikeitwas@gmail.com.

Women like to talk. Talk to her about setting aside some scheduled 'man cave' time for you to play uninterrupted. Buy her flowers/chocolate several times a month so that she knows you're thinking of her.

Easy as pie. Or I had the fortune to marry one of the few rational(ish) women on the planet.

My wife (at the time) aggro'ed so hard...well....we now have shared custody.

But honestly, it was always her way (even when she was letting me have my way) and there is a different, bigger, underlying excuse but at the time the game was just an easy cop-out.

It just really gets annoying how some will crack down on others for spending their free time playing an interactive and social game and then these same people will go and sit in a vegetative state in front of the TV which is nether interactive nor social.

She probably isn't in her final form.... Yet.

I do other stuff besides playing games, so I always have something to do with my girlfriend that we both enjoy. My kind of aggro is different, but equally annoying: Client phone aggro.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I don’t know why you fellas have so much trouble. Mines a treat!
But then, this was the lonely hearts ad I used to bag her:

Male. 36. Non smoker. GSOH. Bit fat. Eve player.
WLTM Female 18-50. Must like cooking, cleaning, sex and Eve.
Must have at least 10m sp, and fly a T3.
No trial accounts.
Please send picture of T3.

(I had 2 other replies, but I didn’t like their subsystem choice.)

That's not wife aggro - that's a straight out gank.



As I said before: Us women just happen to have 2 extra hislots and know how to use them :P


Guess being married to a gamer (husband got me into gaming .. surprise surprise) changes the definition of quality time.
For us its hunting someone down... or whatever it is that rocks our world that day.

I used to give him "wife agro" back in 1999... he solved the problem by telling me to sit down in front of EverQuest 1 and create a char.
BAD idea.. it was a saturday afternoon, no stores nearby and digital download wasnt available yet.
It was a rough week of fighting over who gets to play first :)

My Wife calls eve Marsmallow land and is generally quite patient with my playtime. In the early days of my eve life she made an example of me by singing loudly and out of tune every time I hit the push to talk key on teamspeak. I believe there is still a recording of it somewhere.

Since then, when she calls me through to the good room, I simply put my gimp mask on and obey. She has rarely entered marshmallow land since but a few of my alliance mates have been skilling the record key eversince! Just in case ;-)

Im lucky one i think then... I have wife, but no wife agro. After all it was her idea i start playing this game. She watched some television program about virtual worlds and eve online was one of them previeved in programm.. One thing leads to another and she says to me " You should try out eveonline, i think you might like it"... And i have been playing this game ever since (it was 2008).. Funny how other mmo´s dont feel challenging at all after eve...

But to OP´s problem, i think you should set up a system, where you show some "quality time" to your wife and also garanties you some game time also. Just like eve, life is also about tradeing one thing to another... You want some quality gametime, you need to offer something in exchange of it.

Personally as addicted i am to eve, i have no problem put eve on backburner for evening to take my wife out for dinner or good movie. I know it pays back in longrun. My wifes happier -> less demands for me -> more time to play eve in longrun...

I type this under my own free will. My girlfriend is not looking over my shoulder. My girlfriend is a wonderful, caring, person, who only expects a little attention once in a while. Eve is just a game and saying "im in the middle of a fight" is no excuse not to help in whatever she is asking me to do at the time.

I am not going to get a "present" for typing this "to all my friends".
