Hook her up, Grape!  Then when you're not AH-ing together, you can go "antiquing" together.

It's a sinister female plot to get you to go do something feminine.  "If it's too good to be true. . . . "

Besides, I know Betty and don't trust women in general.

TxDad & I were on the same squad a few times, which I didn't care about one way or another; just meant one of us always missed squad night to make sure the children were tended to.  I don't like for him to teach me anything; usually ends up with us being angry at one another.  So he and I are both content to let me stink until either someone else teaches me or I learn on my own. 

When we're in different squads, it's nice to be able to stagger our squad nights.  For us it's more important to have just one of us on at a time to make sure that someone is always attentive to the children.  Would be much fun for he & I to play at the same time. :)

I hope y'all have fun! :)


 

LOL darling.  That is so true with my wife and I.  I have no patients with her when I show her stuff and she gets angry with me if I can't domesticate to her standards which leaves us with intense arguments.  Family life i guess.  :rolleyes:

Sounds like she wants to spend more time with you. So either let her play or spend less time on AH.

The might be trying to dive deep deep down into your heart so she can spend time with you and your interests so maybe you will do the same with her.

ya know, might be easier to get higher end equipment for AH if she knows first hand how important it is. think ill download AH to my wifes comp and give her my old joystick. so she can see why I want to use our 42in flatscreen for a monitor

In terms of screens, i play on a Gateway laptop. The graphics aren't very special frame rate is OK. BUT!!!! you can see through smoke and get to see where other tanks are because of some wierd black box that appears right on them.

Yesterday my wife asked if she could fly with me. :huh Is it a good idea to let the wife get involved?  :uhoh I am kinda flattered and puzzled that she wants to fly with me. Normally she is firing highly accurate 88MM rounds at me while I play. Does anyone have any experience with the wife ack suddenly turning friendly? Can this situation turn out to be a disaster? I am also wondering what a good handle would be for her if everything works out. I was thinking that "Orange" would go nice with "Grape." Its easy to read so people won't have a hard time giving check 6's. Is there anything that I should avoid doing, like tuning to squad channel while she is on?   :noid

When you two fly, I'd say spend time flying only together, side by side on the computer. :)

Like a fighter escort or you escort her bomber, and tell her she's doing a good job and what not. Oh, and don't let her die, she just might get a lil bit mad.

in other MMOs, I would have my GF (a little different from a wife - but still) play while I was at work - eventually we bought a second computer and would play with or against each other depending.  I think its a great thing to get your significant other involved and I have quite a few friends who would envy you.  You should consider yourself lucky - and speaking from experience, she may even become a better pilot then yourself. . .better get crack'en!!

tried teaching the Missus how to ride a motorcycle safely, which is a lot easier than this. After about an hour she never wanted to ride again. Point is make sure you use a trainer because he wont say stuff like "wtf did you do that for" etc.etc.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.
