Topic: Your Ideal Partner

Oh, got married a year and a half later and been married since.

That's the best story I've heard in awhile. I had no idea Samurai Shodown was such a chick magnet.

The chicks dig the shodown. Something about that steel-on-steel combat. My wife and I always play at least a few games of Samurai Shodown on the anniversary of the day we played the game together the first time. Silly I know, but we've never missed one so far.

Have you been able to defeat your wife at Samurai Shodown yet Corbie?

I've gotten better over the years, but she still gives me a run for my money.

You should spend months practising so you can finally defeat her!

srsly... Animal Crossing is pretty boring unless you just like running around collecting and personalizing stuff.

My wife doesn't play my arcade cabinets much, but when she does, she's usually playing either Samurai Shodown or Samurai Shodown II. It's one of the few fighting games, other than Tekken 2, that she likes to play. I finally bought a Tekken 2 board about a year ago because she likes the game.

dude, you didn't lose... you WON!

Let's get all cheesy now - my soon-to-be wife, of course. She's not a huge gamer (although she loves Super Mario Land) but she's very understanding of my console affliction, and doesn't mind me rambling on about Sega for hours on end. She also has fantastic taste in films, and without her I wouldn't have seen half the good stuff I have (The Lives of Others, Annie Hall, the Big Sleep etc.)

Also, as an aside to Corb's story, I'm a Virtua Fighter nut so it's always disappointing when my fiancee's Lion takes my Sarah apart!

I know a chick who's blonde, about my height, in college, nice body, and a life guard. I'm good friends with her. But my only problem: I'm 15 and she's 20 But any girl who looks like her, that would be awesome!

@Cheezy: Sounds tasty.

My wife once said that the Virtual Fighter games had the intensity of "a snail marathon" when I tried to get her into the series a few years back. She hates the Virtual Fighter games. I personally prefer Virtua Fighter to Tekken myself, but different strokes.

I like that analogy - I'm not sure what it means, but I like it all the same. Any game that can be described as speed chess and a snail marathon has to be good.

Also, it's nice to see everyone showing their romantic sides with comments about size of breasts, bums and other physical traits. Enjoy them while they last boys - nobody looks like that forever!

@Corbie post #46: That's not silly, that's sweet! I guess I'm just a sucker for that kinda thing. My parents go the the Renaissance Festival every year because it was there that they realized they were more than friends.
@Prosody: That's why I never, EVER chase after girls based on appearance. That's just gravy after I've grown attached to the personality. Not that I have very much experience with that, either. Just one girl, like I said back in post #21, and it ain't even mutual. Maybe someday I'll find someone like her, huh? Daydreams which really SHOULD be night dreaming at this point since it's late and I have church in the morning

Awwwww, that's a sweet story! It's amazing how even Corbie's love life has a video game slant to it.

I'm convinced Corbie deserves some kind of reality TV show! I usually can't stand those types of programs, but I would tune in and watch a show about him, his family, and his mad collection of games. The working title could be "Corbie Kong."

If you're as big a gamer as Corbie, your love life HAS to have gaming in it! Otherwise, you'd HAVE no love life. Or am I projecting here?

Heh.... as a 22 year old single, I guess I can't be too picky.

Obviously someone who doesn't mind my eccentric habits, like being a gamer who reads manga and occasionally shows up in university dressed in a ninja camouflage suit. I guess I meant "open-minded"; who's not conventional. Someone not too extroverted, and hopefully, should be intelligent enough.

Well, I'm pretty much not looking for the type that will reject you because you're too nice and because she likes bad boys-- or the type that only thinks about her appearance and about social conventions. These people make me lose hope about the future of humanity.

..... I remember one rejecting me as a "freak" because I played the Time Crisis 4 Arcade wielding two pistols.

Update: Met a woman who can breathe underwater. Was going to ask her out, but lost her somewhere in Mariana.

And that makes you a "freak" HOW? That kind of thing is why I also have little hope in the future of humanity.
