@Dodece - good points, but what if its not so much him procrastinating on stuff he wants to do, but stuff she wants him to do? What if she wants to go shopping at the mall, and he's putting it off? It's hard to say exactly how much give and take there is in the relationship. It is possible that she's crowding/smothering him, but there's not enough information about each of the two peoples' personalities here.

Dodece's advice is good if your brother is a lazy lout. But I don't get that impression. If I also get technical in dissecting what you said, she said procrastination right? Not, he doesn't have his life together and doesn't get any shit done. Procrastination can be fine, if the work gets done in the end.

If your brother is a lazy lout like Dodece suggests, then he needs to get his life in order for his own good, despite whatever a woman tells him. But if he's not, like I get the feeling of, then he should tell her that if she cannot accept him for who he is and for what he enjoys in life, then they should not be together anyway. Being in a committed relationship does take work and sacrifice, but the groundwork of the two people wanting to be with each other for who they are should be there first.

Really, if she sticks to this ultimatum, and your brother feels gaming is a serious past time, something that he really enjoys, then he should tell her she can leave. This issue goes beyond just gaming. If she is dictating to him what he can do in his spare time, when it is not detrimental to his life (unless Dodece is right), it will not stop with 'gaming' and will only be worse if they do end up getting married.

Thats what you call a spoiled bitch.

She might claim he's procrastinating but that could be because she doesn't understand games and see's him sat there and has the sort of attitude to games that British politicians have... they do nothing more than rot your brain and make you couch potatoes.

It also might come down to the fact she knows a big word and decided to use it without knowing the implications.

It sounds like she's the kind of selfish girl who expects a man to drop everything and make her the centre of his universe.

A man has to have his own interest outside of her if for no other reason than his own sanity.

I say talk about it and if no compromise is met then dump her and move on.

Or you could do like the studs on here who are saying it's all his fault and he should cave in, have no interest of your own unless it's in her terms and be whipped.

In a barely related topic, my gf encouraged me to keep playing COD:WaW last night because she liked watching me get pissed off and cursing at the TV

dump the chick.

Hehe.  I have the same problem as ShadowSoldier's brother in all actuallity.  My wife asks me to spend less time playing video games.  And I give in.  I know, I know.  I'm whipped.  But she does have a better reason than ShadowSoldier's brother.  It's so that she can take over the TV and play herself.

Id break up with her

Tell your brother...if he is scared that he is never going to get laid again..(or in the near future)...grit your teeth and play some covert games once in a while...if he isn't scared...tell the bitch to fuck the fuck off....then open up the door and get her bitch ass out on the streets...if she can't use that mouth productively then shut up and get out...cos nobody wants a nagging girlfriend when you are only 19....especially when she makes unreasonable demands...he should demand that she stops getting $100 dollar haircuts and all that make up shit...then we will see her expression. Also....if nobody is watching..PIMP slap.

buy WII+Glock bundle - if she won't be hooked up with the wii and still will want to break up your brother can always use the second part of the bundle ;)

but seriously if he can he should get her DS - if she will still object she's a lost cause. if your brother have 360 he should get Viva Pinata, Banjo or some other less-gore game for her or play with her on co-op.

------------------------------------

wait she want's him to quit games because she thinks it enables him to procrastinate? is he a big fan of games? i'm not talking bout spending a lot of time with them, but if he buys a lot of them and is he a casual gamer(ie. doesn't care bout games and he could either read a book/watch tv cause it doesn't matter) or a gamer(is hooked up to them and likes certain genre/series etc.)? if yes than either:

- she is at the point she wants your brother to break up with hercause she don't want to do this herself so she is looking for the most ridiculous ways to make your brother do this for her(very pesimistic thought, but it happens when girl found another guy and want to do this because it's more convenient to her in some weird way),

- she may be concerned about somethin,

- dunno what else.

either way i suggest a serious talk(well maybe not so serious) with her:

- why she think games enables him to procrastinate?

- why she don't like games?

- ask her if it would be ok if she would like to play games with each other as an another activity when she is at his place just like watching movies or somethin,

- depending on what console he have i recommend buying few different casual games and also if she/your brother still have ds buy her games bout her hobby(if she likes animals get her Nintendogs etc.) or any other game. adventure games would be nice - well anything that uses touchscreen is good like Mario Party, Layton, Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright, Another Code, Zelda, Kirby, Animal Crossing, Rhythm Heaven(most adventure and puzzle games should do the trick with many girls).
