She said it in a "I've no idea what you're talking about, but as long as it makes you happy..." way.

I get a lot of that :cry:

I get that a lot too :).

It's way better than the "I don't understand what you're saying/doing, so it must be bad, STOP IT!" one gets sometimes...
...and keep it under lightspeed!

Recently there hasn't been a lot of time to play, there is the problem that you can't network a game as you can in diabloII (so it can't be a sheared experience). But yeah as long as a good chunk of things get done in reality and it doesn't start starving the relationship of time. Then why not? Hell it's better than watching sport.

Whereas I will listen to the football on the radio... and carry on splashing bandits.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Surely not when you're country is playing?

If their playing.

Or are you limited by other constraints/circumstancies?

Well, I don't have a TV... threw it out many years ago, but I actually prefer the radio anyway.
Of course, if England make the final (ha ha) I'll be at a friend's house to watch it.

JazHaz,

Don't understand your post. Sorry if this is stupid, but do you have a partner or not?

Ahh!

At least it's not a case of 'your not watching the football AND playing that dam game!'

To me that would be pure gold.

My girlfriend of many years also "doesn't get" Oolite. She even tried playing it but found it boring :(

She hasn't ever had the slightest problem with me playing and oxp'ing it, though :D
