UFC fighting (this I can handle, I grew up in a house with guys present a lot), crude jokes about women and sex (this I can also handle, like I said, been around guys all my life)--but.. then when I said, "No, Honey, I'm not bored, I'm fine.." they broke out the video games.
Video games and I don't so much get along. Super Nintendo and I got along just fine... back in Elementary School. The Wii can also be entertaining at times for games such as bowling and the like, however.. The video games and systems that the boys play when I'm around are not so much entertaining to me. So, I apologize, but this will be a rant of said night and said video games. Often I get asked, "Why do you hate them so much?" So, I ask.. why would I hate them so much? I only sat and watched three "grown" men sit and scream obscenities at one another for their pseudo identities being shot at and killed. Why do they freak out when they're killed--two seconds later they're magically reincarnated! And thus the screaming begins again. This cycle goes on and on, sometimes for hours on end. The entire game consists of timed sessions of them running around various settings and killing one another. That's the game. The whole game.
At least with Mario, there was an end of the level and a goal to reach. That's all I'm saying.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle, I know that. And I'm not trying to take away their juvenile entertainment.. I'm just in great need of my girlfriends. Sex and the City episodes are getting to me. I need my retail therapy partners and my lunch dates... and they're too far away from me.
Oh the differences between male and female versions of a "fun Saturday night.." but I suppose that's an entirely different post for another day.

I've gotten into the video game debate when I dated my ex.
The best way her and I could see eye to eye was to compare it like this:
Guys : Videogames :: Girls : Sex and the City
isn't that the truth. making a drink and then proceeding to make fun of them is also a way I pass the time... :)
You stole the words out of my mouth! I've even made the mario comparison too. My boyfreind plays that stupid killing game and there is no point to the game except to kill people. And he plays it online with real people on his team or something, so I tell him "yeah you should be real proud, you just beat a 9 y/o kid at a video game, congrats"
That usually shuts him up.
