    Wait, are we talking about what constitutes marriage in god's eyes, or are we throwing everything out there?

    I kid. I kid. Now stop sending me gay porn at work. Not cool man...not cool.

    Sectaurs: Marriage doesn't HAVE to be exclusive ya know.
    Ben: Mas congrats! Also good to see you on the boards again.

    Thread question:
    I'm married too. Been like 2 years now I think? Yeah gonna be 3 in February. (seems I only keep track for other people anyway) Its had its rough spots but I'm still quite happy with her. I got married like, just before Rawkstar, and was going to post here about it, but felt way too much like a "HEY ME TOO!" thread.

    edit: All my girls are very supportive of my chosen vocation, though some have trouble getting into games themselves for various reasons.

    I like on his site it says him and his roommate are working on the game.

    My site is a little out of date. I need to update that. We weren't always married, We've been together for 3.5 years so far.

    I don't know why but I too was a bit thrown off! Congrats on the marriage. And I have to ask, did that influence you leaving the country at all (marriage laws)?

    Been seeing the same great girl for 3 years - super supportive of what I do!

    Nope, I left because like Kovac said, I hate america. Not a communist though.
    Where do you all usually meet your loved ones? Sounds like everyone is pretty happy, and having a spouse that supports what everyone does is awesome as well, good to hear :)

    I found mine where all good things come from, the internet.

    Welcome back Ben!

    I'm going on 3 years of marriage myself, and i'm loving it.

    You got the programmer/artist thing going huh? I find that pretty interesting. I'm always trying to psychoanalyze people and their relationships....I think the "opposites attract" thing is very true in a lot of ways. Is it more about finding someone who complements you or finding someone who likes all the same things you do? Seems like most long-term relationships fall vaguely into one of those categories.

    10 years now but not married, and am not likely to be as long as people keep bloody telling me i should be. You can all sod off.

    tbh, i don't see that it would make a jot of difference anyway. Already got a house, 2 cars, a singing lobster, everything. It'd mostly be an excuse for a good party

    oh, and WHAT a party. It's long planned. Everyone - and i mean everyone - has to come as prepared seafood. Not sealife, seaFOOD : you have to be a dish. My mum says she's got some great ideas for a prawn cocktail outfit.

    but, hey, even that isn't going to happen until you SHUT UP about it, so there

    Together a piffling (compared to some of the numbers being thrown around here) 3 months, not married.

    She's a pretty hardcore gamer, her gamerscore's about 22k (compared to my 3.5k) and she posesses an in-depth knowledge of Gears & Gears 2 that frankly scares me. The chat-up line she used was "You should come over to mine and we can co-op through Gears 2 together...". How could anyone resist that?

    That's a euphemism for sex. And I bet you go over there and just play through a map or two of Gears.

    As for marriage I think I'm in the clear. I've been playing with boobs so long it's lost its obsessive, desperate appeal, which means women don't have the power to seduce me into marriage anymore.

    WIN.

    you play with your own boobs ?

    Whoaaaa dude! Willkommen zurück!

    Been married for 7.5 years now. Doesn't seem nearly that long, though.
    She plays some games, and can be hardcore at times.
    She plays a tank, while I heal her up. She likes American McGee's Alice & Animal Crossing.

    She used to work at a housing supply company in their accounting dept. So, since housing in general went into the pooper, she has been working here at Mythic in CS. So I get to hear tons of hillarious stories about people who think the world should be served up to them on a silver plate (game worlds, too).
    So I guess as long as she still works here, I will too. :D

    I cook, she bakes. Works well, so far. There has been a lot more baby talk, as of late. Guess it's gonna happen sooner than later. Maybe I'll just buy a cat. That'll give me more time, right? ;D

    That sounds like a recipe for some hate sex! I'm picturing lap-tables with mouse pads, rubber sheets, bottles of olive oil, quad boxing a full WoW raid, and stained copies of the Kamasutra in 10 different languages scattered around.

    We have side-by-side PC's to play games together and a living room configured for ideal 360 and horror movie viewing. He digs games and he puts up with all my shit, it's good times.
    He's getting ready to go to school for programming as a second career.

    10 years married on Oct23rd this year, which will also be 11 years to the day from when Kirsten discovered me on ICQ through a random chat partner search. Her nickname was Veggie, when I suggested she was either a lesbian or not a real vegetarian she didn't run away in disgust, so I figured maybe she'd be durable enough to put up with me!

    We've 2 girls now, Nikitta is 6 and Nuala is turning 1 in september so she's the same age now as Nikitta was when we moved here and it so feels like I've come full circle this year.

    I periodically try to get Kirsten more into games, had some success with Wipeout HD and Flower on PS3 and Resident Evil 5 on 360. Though I have to say that I thought getting her as my partner in RE5 would help cut down on the retardation of the other character's 'help' :)

    Joking aside, I haven't quite gotten her fully into games yet but I am persistent and patient ( ie a pain in the arse ) and my latest tactic is ' you do realize in a couple more years I'll be sitting playing games with both our wee girls and you'll feel left out?'... which I think might do the trick.
    Also, Nikitta can beat her arse good already on WipeoutHD, 1 try and she was better so... it's only a matter of time!

    She loves seeing what I build at work though, she still remembers me bluffing Scion that I could model in order to get the job, before desperatly trying to build a character in 3d for an art test heh
    And she reminds me of that , and that I should be proud of myself.

    Anyway, good to see you are able to be more open about who you are now, these things are important and it's emotionally destructive to try and withold them.

    Congrats on the wedding man. I hope that you are/have been/will be happy with him.

    I am single. I don't cry myself to sleep.. But sometimes (apparently?) i cry DURING my sleep..

    this is why I'm not married.

    seems all my friends these days all either have kids or are married. I tend to hang out with folks older than meself though.
