To the original topic:
Relationships seem to be nicer with shared interests. Thats why I'm finding a girl who's interests revolve around drawing and playing videogames, and I don't mean some nintendogs bullshit. There's a girl out there that likes games like MetalGear, God of War... etc etc .... right.... ....... right?

And then God said, "Let us make man in our likeness and our image. Let us make him ridiculously hard to draw so that poor artists everywhere will have to spend 10,000+ hours failing repeatedly before they can begin to capture the form and likeness onto a two-dimensional surface." And there was man. And it was good. And artists everywhere lost their minds.

I hate to de-rail your business model, Kamber Parrk, but prostitution is, unfortunately, not legal in Clark County. Gotta go a bit farther west and north for that. Nye County is as close to vegas as you can get for that kind of a vacation.

This. I've done that a few times with my boyfriend, when he stays still that is!
Oh, to the person above, I resent the 'Nintendogs bullshit'I've been gaming lots of stuff since I was four years old and I like Nintendogs. Doesn't mean that's all I play, lol.
To the OP- can you find a game that you'd both enjoy playing together? That and/or promise him something cool (wink wink nudge nudge) if he gets off his ass for a few days, and cuts down the console usage in general to pursue at least some goal. Can't be good for either of you, for him to just game all the time.

Any dude who doesn't put the controller down long enough to square his lady away first has a lot of growing up to do. I know you can do tricks with a controller, but I have no knowledge of one that can do tricks back. His friend is going to make a move on you if he has half a brain left himself.

Talk to your boyfriend about it, but please approach the subject in a manner that isn't blaming him for your inability to entertain yourself. Likely he just hasn't realized you're feeling a little left out, and will respond positively.
That being said, this is why gamers should date gamers. Or date someone else with a time consuming hobby they're passionate about. My boyfriend and I get along perfectly this way. Sure, we have our differences, he may be playing HoN and I may be playing Portal, but we still understand each other.
And if I do want to spend time together, I ask. Simple as that. Just don't expect him to just drop everything he's doing at a moment's notice; you can always make plans for later.

I like how everyone's labeling this person who you get a description from a disgruntled girlfriend as just playing video games and people suddenly label things like.... (towards the start of the thread)a lazy ass, needs a job, needs to do something with his life, etc etc.... because his main hobby includes video games. Unless there's some other thread with these details on this random person.
Lord I have friends who their girlfriend sees them playing a video game for a couple hours with a friend and they act like there's something wrong with them.

It's fun to label. That's the joy of internet forums. We can say whatever we want and hide behind a screenevery single one of us is guilty of it too. Might as well have some fun at it. That's what we all get for posting our own problems on the net anyway.

I honestly didn't mean anything offensive by that. I was being facetious due to the OP's negative atitude.

Ever read "He's just not that into you?". I did and it was really fun and liberating. I did not break up with my partner because of it, but it did make me feel better.
I was married to a video game addict for 9 years. We were both teenagers when we got married, and he was two years older than me. So we had video games in common. When we had children it became apparent we were going down separate paths - I was abandoning games for philosophy, art and occult studies - he was staying late at work to play games with his coworkers while I was home alone with our toddler. It's not as bad an offense as an affair of course, but then he forgot my 21st birthday because of it. We almost had a divorce then. I managed to stick it out for another 4 years, and then as other problems began cropping up (more serious than this) I began making moves for a divorce. Video game addiction was a major problem through the whole relationship.
I only WISH I had PAID ATTENTION in the early stages of our dating to realize this was NOT the person I wanted to spend a decade with! There were signs even that early. No matter what they say, don't believe it if it doesn't seem congruent with their actions!
Anyways, good luck to you and next time post in the girl's only forum....I think asking a bunch of sensitive (though they deny it) artistic guys is going to garner lots of defensive responses as they appear to be automatically identifying themselves with the perpetrator.

There is a lot of game hate going on here, i would think in a community of concept artists there would be more gamers.

Never heard that term before. But yeah that sounds right. Pretty much all based on perspective.
Though thats why I joke about finding a girl who draws and plays video games. Because imo, having shared interests makes it a lot less likely that if you do a hobby regularly thats time consuming that its viewed as excessive. Simple example, hell I'm doing it now I'm drawing, working on a newer comic page for practice, I have an image for how the page should look, but its hard and it takes time, hours even. Girl who likes to draw is interested, critiques or helps possibly, maybe even is drawing herself. Girl who doesn't like to draw sees me as sitting there doing nothing with her for hours that she's bored and its an issue. Does this make it so a relationships going to succeed if I'm with girl who likes to draw? Nope. But probably a lot more likely if you don't have to compromise constantly just to pursue interests. Since literally probably every friends relationship I've seen fail is because one persons compromising too much and they get sick of it.
Though I'm a youngin' so who knows reality will probably come crashing down on me sometime in the future
