It's very frustrating for you to be in the situation at hand. I had a relationship with a woman who had an addiction and it DOES ruin lives. Now this individual in question was addicted to a drug rather as opposed to a video game. However, the consequences share many similarities. Since you care about her, I'd try some of the suggestions that others have pointed out, but remember: you CANNOT change a person. You have to take them for who they are. I learned that lesson the hard way. I hope that the two of you are able to sort out your issues.

Note to everyone else: He likes her for who she was, not who she's become. People change over time and it doesn't necessarily mean that either person is better than the other. That's just the way they've chosen to live their lives.
Hahahaha. I got this thread in my e-mail today. I'm going to be completely brutally 100% honest here as bad as this will make me look, just to help ya out.
Okay, I'm a girl gamer- I sit on my ass all day, I'm terrified of sunlight, I have a problem socializing with "real life people" and am developing carpal tunnel. I've been a hardcore girl gamer since I was 13 (I'm 19 now) and I've played anything from RTS to MMORPG to FPS. My addiction is probably worse than your girlfriend's.
I've been dumped by countless men- virtual and real life- over my gaming addiction, because honestly, if I have a scrim in L4D2 or a dungeon run in [insert random MMORPG] or, as gay as it sounds, movie night with my clan in ventrilo, I'm going to cancel real life dates to do it. Yes, I have a problem. No, I'm not going to do anything about it. Your girlfriend is probably the same way.
Basically, she's not the girl you fell in love with, right? She pretty much ate the girl you fell in love with and then some.
Dump her. She loves the game more than you. She will choose the game over you. You've tried and tried and she doesn't listen. Grow a backbone and a pair of balls and move on. That is all there is to it.
I'm single because men can't handle my gaming addiction and those that can can't handle a girl that can kick their ass in a shooter or outgrind them in a grindfest. I'm happy being single because I don't have to devote time to a guy or listen to a naggy complaining boyfriend when I'm trying to tank a boss and time my taunts. YOU, sir, are going to be that naggy complaining boyfriend for her, if you're not already. Great, you're tapping her fat ass. What more is there to it? She's NOT going to spend time with you. She's NOT going to get off the computer. Get over it. She's moved on and dumped you for WoW.

Do you get it yet?

Bullcrap, only little boys get angry at this kind of thing.
Real men like myself look at the ecstatic look on my lady-friend's face after getting worked in halo, then smile at the prospect of her trying to show off in the sack later as well. Girl gamers are easy to satisfy, as long as you are willing to suffer defeat in one area in order to reap the benefits elsewhere. It's just about keeping your chickie happy, and if all it takes is letting her win at street fighter, then I am all for it.
Plus, a chick too determined to game all night is one that's not going to bog you down with stupid questions like "what are you thinking about?", nor ask you to watch Grey's Anatomy with them. I'm all for that.

What does my virginity have to do with anything? If you must know, no, I'm not. I dont care about going out or meeting new people, I'm in college and when my career comes, it comes, but right now, I don't have to worry about it. I hate meeting people in real life because they don't understand my gaming addiction and I don't understand their fascination with getting drunk and waking up next to random people and doing it again the next weekend. I rather waste my time gaming than waste my time getting drunk at parties and waking up with a case of the herpes. I hate children. I hate babies. I plan on being a cop and never getting married. And y'know what? The world can judge me and the world can judge my fellow chick gamers. We're happy doing our thing and if you guys wanna bash us. Do so. If our boyfriends aren't happy with our addiction, then why the hell are they dating us? People change, real life, virtual life. It's how life works. Nothing stays the same forever. Back on topic. Go.

You should introduce them through Wow if that's the case. Then they can share some playtime on top of those STDs you gave em, it's the best bonding experience there is.

Girl's don't "rub one out", they "flick the [mod edit]" or "play with the little man in the boat".

Dear Haiken,
It's very frustrating for you to be in the situation at hand. I had a relationship with a woman who had an addiction and it DOES ruin lives. Now this individual in question was addicted to a drug rather as opposed to a video game. However, the consequences share many similarities. Since you care about her, I'd try some of the suggestions that others have pointed out, but remember: you CANNOT change a person. You have to take them for who they are. I learned that lesson the hard way. I hope that the two of you are able to sort out your issues.
