That is just plain annoying and silly and is not doing anyone ANY favours. Just don’t. Please don’t. I’m not even kidding. If you still don’t listen and try to do [...]
Anthem for Partners of Gamers

“Ok, I’m going to have a shower. But you keep watching so that when I get back, you can tell me everything that happened while I was gone”
The Setting: The Boy is watching a LoL stream, i.e. watching live streaming of professional League of Legends players as they play. I’m still in bed, half asleep (come on now, it’s the weekend – just let me sleep in!), when The Boy says the above to me. Yes, of COURSE I will keep a [...]

I’m really sorry to break it to you, but the chances [...]
“Is he a gamer or gay??”
As much as it’s almost comforting to know that fellow partners of gamers are out there, supporting one another across the interwebs… honestly people. Get a grip. Here is one such facedesk example I came across on Yahoo Answers: Oh, did I mention that the poor dear “can’t break up cus i have him for [...]
Define: Ganking
This is one that comes up pretty often in most of the games my Gamer Guy plays, which are (here’s a fun acronym for you) MMORPGs, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games.
