GameDaily has published a list of the ten games that are most likely to lead to the end of a relationship.
It's a pretty solid list. The mainstays are there along with the obvious ones you'd expect; World of Warcraft and Everquest 2 to name a couple. There are some bizarre choices though, for instance the inclusion of Rumble Roses XX.
If you ask me, anyone who is still playing Rumble Roses XX obviously has a digital boob fetish that the person they're dating should probably already knows about.
Furthermore, I want to send a message to all the kiddies out there. There's no reason any of these games should cause your breakup. Because if your significant other can't understand your passion then in the words of Thin Lizzy, "Man, if that chick don't wanna know forget her." And likewise for all the lady gamers out there.
On the other hand, if it's simply gaming too much that cause the significant other to leave, then it's time to reevaluate things. Ask yourself, "which is truly more important to me?" Then make a calculated decision based on that answer. Don't simply let yourself ooze into debauchery, be cognizant of the changes that happen in your life. Digital boob fetishes are fine in moderation.

I approve this list, for comedy's sake only of course. And Animal Crossing is frustrating when your GF just wants to play it only...
I hate everything on that list except for GoW and Bioshock, and I don't even play those games anymore. Especially since I hate GoW's multiplayer.
what's wrong with that list is that the author(s) generalize that most issues stem from guys oogling digi-chicks (note how most SS's are female) and ignoring their RL mates. and also, spouses and partners tend to blow things out of proportion. although, i do agree with WoW and EQ. everything else isn't really "threatening"
