Well, my wife likes to play Dr. Mario and Super Mario World and other NES/SNES games, but no PC, no Wii, no RPGs, Not the PS3, nothing else, really. So basically, while she spends her time watching her shows on TV, I play on the computer. We hang out plenty, but sometimes we just need our space, adn that's when I play video games. Sadly, I can't imagine right now putting 50 hours into a good RPG anytime in the near future...though I _will_ be putting too much time into Spore, Fallout 3, Starcraft 2 and Little Big World when they come out.

Basically, you have to find a happy medium, and you have to find a woman who understands that video games are not a complete waste of time.

Oh, and stand up for yourself, or you'll never be able to play. That being said, damnit, when you have kids, if you're that a-hole who plays 8 hours a day after coming home from work without helping with the kid like my friend's baby's dad used to do, I will find you and kick your ass.
