Believe it or not, it's all her, not many people want it more often than myself, but she might be one.  As I think about it, I've actually been pretty lucky in that sense, a lot of girls I have dated have been borderline nymphos.
Humbling, yes?

Hahahhahahaha.

Nemo, I challenge your stamina:

(1) Can you (come close) to beating Super Pitfall (NES)?

(2) I have tried, and I've gotten DAMN CLOSE to doing it (cartridge + NES). No cheating.

(3) This is the only test of true stamina.

I had to vote no... Over the years she has:

- deleted my lvl 33 character on Everquest... (long before the first expansion... weeks and weeks of playtime at the time...)
- made me throw away my Atari 800XL and accessories...
- made me promise to throw away my Commodore 1702 monitor... which I pretended to do while I moved it to the attic for a while... I'll keep the promise, I swear, but not today.
- complained non-stop about my collection and how much money I've spent on it... never mind that I've funded it nearly 100% by doing repairs, mods, and ebay sales.  (ohhh!  and funded her anniversary present this last year doing the same, heh)

Any gaming I get in now is usually at the expense of sex, for anytime from a week to a month.  She can really hold a grudge, so I try not to get caught.

It probably sounds more horrible than it is... she really is my better half... pulls me out to parties, forces me to vacation (most recently to Vancouver, BC for the olympics), improved my dress and hair styles immensely, takes great care of my kiddos, makes great meals when she has time, works diligently to keep the house tidy, and loves to lay in bed watching star trek and just about any other sci-fi series.

Sparky and D-Lite  :lol:.  Steve, I haven't done Super Pitfall, but I have played through Ghost "N Goblins (Nes) twice to get the "real" ending, that was a pretty brutal test of stamina.

There's something wrong with you two.  Real gamers do both simultaneously.  :wink:

Any particular game or does it not matter?...haha

Crap, I haven't achieved the real ending for GnG (NES), so, well, damn.
