Are we dating the same woman ?!?!?!?!....Mine will watch Keping up with the Kardashians, then bitch about me playing a video game.......
lol this.... I work at a place where it is 43 ladies and myself as the only dude.... when I first told them I was a gamer... everyone told me that I was wasting my time. So I asked them what they did at home for entertainment.... and almost everyone answered reality TV...... -_-
there is difference . you watch tv or play console games away from your tv at a safe distance. while doing pc gaming you are forced to sit near . so the difference is clear dude .
How to get you girlfriend to play with you , it's simple get a game that requires co-op and has cute things in it then she will be hooked or start her off slow with facebook games.
Umm...this is all that was offered "But in all seriousness, as someone who is a gamer, it is important to eat relatively healthy, exercise or remain physically active for part of the day, and to sleep well. These are things that shouldn't have to be taught to grown adults, however, and should be shared with children. And despite all the comments that'll likely be "obvious column is obvious", I think it is pretty astounding how many gamers I've known personally that have pretty horrendous diets, don't exercise, and have a sleep schedule worse than my cat."
And then you go ahead and dismiss the sleep...
So what exactly is eating healthy as opposed to a horrendous diet?
As well as exercising / being physically active as opposed to don't exercise at all?
Without being too harsh, you could use some actual content such as saying what you eat / do physically or offering some advice on something regarding either of these...lol
Someone needs to meld a jogging machine and a computer so you can game effectively and at least walk while you game. If someone invented this I would be a lean mean gaming machine.

Sarcasm. Again. Well at least, we now have "in all seriousness" bit. But it doesn't really say much.
First of all - obvious is obvious right? Not so much in this world, no. I agree, you shouldn't have to remind grown up people to stay healthy and fit. But in reality, stating the obvious things in a certain way CAN make a difference. It all really boild down to a little thing called MODERATION. Obesity, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, any addictions... FANATICISM (yeah and terrorism too) it's all because PEOPLE FRIGGIN DONT KNOW MODERATION!
Playing all night while eating pizza and chugging Mountain Dew mixed with Red Bulls every once in a while is not so bad... as long as you do it ONCE! IN! A! WHILE! That is the secret. And frankly said - it HAS to be spelled out to people. I know this. Pokket knows this. But not all people have the capacity to understand that themselves.
Why you should even care for this stuff then? Well, the less you weight the better you feel. You have ore energy to do stuff, everything is easier. Also if you don't eat healthy enough you might get many health problems. Obvious is obvious.
The reason why this problem touches gamers a lot is that people tend to forget themselves in the virtual worlds and start to lose interest in keeping up their physical appearance and health because they find it unimportant. Well do you really want to get heart attack in the middle of a raid? Or fall asleep on your keyboard during an iportant PvP match?
What starts as a hobby can turn into an addiction or obsession even. And virtual worlds can be pretty addictive. They give you opportunity to die countless ties, live thousand different lives and slay milions of foes. It is fun. Just remember - MODERATION!
Keeping a healthy body and a solid anchor to reality is very important.

You need to get a new gf, reality tv is a great sign of an empty upstairs.

Pokket, in that quote is the perfect suggestion for your next article.
"How to convince the girlfriend to share the passion for gaming" aka "How to nerdify your gf". I'm sure your insights as a girl could save some of us men countless of those horrible hours of sleeping on the couch after gaming nights or even worse - cuddling to make up!
Maybe you just need to find the girls who game, boyo! Then you won't have these issues. If men picked their women because they were good friends and liked all the same things, instead of by how they looked or whatever the hell it is that you men go after, it would be a better place for the men who game. But instead, the only men who seem to regularly get to sleep with their gaming buddies are the gay guys.
You picked the femmy girl who was into spending extra time in the makeup aisle and looked cute with the cut off t-shirt. Now you want her to turn around and be a gamer. I bet you thought the tomboys were "gay" and used that as a perjorative. How would you feel if she started swearing like xbox live and staying up raiding later than you wanted to stay up? I don't think so, not most of you.
You only *think* you want a gamer girlfriend, what you want is a switch on the back of your girlfriend's head, maybe a dial, that lets you change modes according to your mood. Now, she's your sweetie and a traditional girly girl. Now she's kicking ass. And you control the switch.
Yes, I've survived a couple gamer boyfriends...can you tell?
