We've all been there. It's getting late. You're looking at the clock waiting for her to get sleepy so you can break away. You know your fireteam is waiting for you, in the trenches, taking on hoards and hoards and screaming, "Where the hell is Poet?!?!" I've gotten to the point it's just pathetic. I go through the motions of going to bed (shower, turn lights off, bang it out) then I just lay there waiting for her to go to dream land so I can sneak through my own house like a burglar (don't turn any lights on or make loud noises and using my flashlight on my cellphone). I hit the power button to my PS3 (which sounds like a clock tower going off in a small quite apartment). I stand silently listening for any stirring. Then, finally, I get on, catch up with my friends, "hey guys, want to do the daily, the bounties, the nightfall????" and every time, "Sorry man, we've already done it." SOOOOOO, let's hear it. What are your own escape plans to ditching the girlfriend and logging on??? EDIT: man, it sounds like a lot of you are in a relationship with someone who totally understands and appreciates your passions and you don't have to nightstalker across your house to play. That's awesome. Also, that means this thread isn't for you. I'm not looking for relationship advice. My girlfriend is not a gamer (hats off to the ladies that commented on my thread...you are one in a million). We're both athletes. We both love the same TV shows, but the video games are just not something she relates to. Sooooooo .... I would like to hear from the guys and gals that are in MY boat and require a little strategic planning to play. EDIT: I appreciate all your posts guys and gals. While the thread was created in lighthearted fun and intended for those that wanted to laugh about how they steal away a few extra hours of play, it has really brought up some points of interest. I see some of you really struggle with this on the daily. Continue to vent, explain, advise. Thanks again.
