How many of you suffer from the "wife ack" syndrome? Mine used to get pissed back in the AW days when I flew constantly, but now she's used to it and only makes rare passing comments. Girlfriends can be put into this catagory, so feel free to comment.
:rolleyes:
-
i do big time!!! hate it!!!
-
could be real bad if i was sad enough to build a flight box chair thing
-
MIA due to wife ack.
Happy new year from the party.

It is like they are being paid by the guys we are fighting to come into the room and pull your focus at that one precise monet in time that is the most devstaing to your continued survival.
I bet my wife would give anything to find out where the programmers for these games lived, she would go there with a stick and beat the heck out of them.

OMG. that is so funny. (I should not have showed my wife though :(

Back in AW, my squad met on Thursday night at 9 CST. This was also the same time HBO's Real Sex was on. I never flew more than 30 minutes before she mounted an attack. I have no regrets.:D
-
I lucked out. My GF actually likes to watch me fly. In fact, she was upset when I got headphones because she couldnt hear what was going on. She says it's like watching a different war movie every night.

she got a sister?

Sister, cousin, mom's younger daughter will work :D
Share the wealth man, let us know......................... .....

I used to get upset years ago because I was more concerned about the costs when Zeb used to play AW on the London host. A long-distance phone call, combined with an hourly charge, meant we had some huge bills. Once he moved to AW on Gamestorm I felt a lot happier and even got interested myself.... ;)

heres ONE..
got home from work at 11pm last nite... went in the living room and notice all eyes on the TV. i went back to the computer and login into MA. at around 11:45pm wife ack comes in and looks at screen and sees squad listing.. (5 squad members online)
she says.. "how sad... even your loser squad is online on new years" :rofl
sometimes she dont mind but when its take out the trash nite or something like that.. that ack sure doesnt miss!
navajo :aok

I work shifts so im at home most of the time.
When i'm home my girl is workin i do the kids. (i have 2 of them 2,5 years and 8 months)
I do even most of the cooking washin the dishes etc.
so when all kids are in bed and my girlfriend is gone to bed too i go play with my puter.
only this endsup mostly in the middle of the night until 0300 + hours.
less than 4 hours of sleep
she complains about that
She wants me to sit on the couch watchin soap and woman movies.
and go to bed with her the same time.
The eager to play and fly is killing me.
:)
Flossy ur a kind of ideal woman
Zeb is a lucky guy
-
I too have three kids and when they are in bed I get a couple hours of game time. I almost never hear anything negative from my wife and am lucky that way. The odd time she will want to watch a movie or a show together so I'll do that.
It's amazing how taking one night off can make a huge difference. If you guys are suffering '88mm wife ack', take one for the team and suffer through a chick-flick.
It kind of works the same way women do it to us. They have the uncanny ability to have sex only enough as they have to, to keep the 'husband ack' at bay. It is up to you to find the same comfort zone to keep the wife ack away.

I suffer rom this due to child (daughter) ack more then Wife ack.
Wife learned a long time ago under no uncertain terms am I to be bothered about anything short of the house being on fire that I should be disturbed if I am gripping the joystick hard enough to nearly crush it and it even remotely looks like Im in a fight. and THEN she should try and put the fire out herself or call 911 first.
My 8 year old daughter on the otherhand seems to think the best time to tell me about what SpongeBob just did is when Im in the middle of a fight.
Amazing thing is I could be tooking around for 20 minutes not doing anything in particular but as soon as Im involved in a really intence fight..
Kaitlyn-"Daddy yanno what spongbob just did?"
Me- "Not now Kaitlyn, in a minute"
Kaitlyn-" he did something really funny he.."
Me "Kaitlyn Im busy, not now, wait a minute please"
Kaitlyn- "he had these.."
Me- "Not NOW Kaitlyn, please wait"
Kaitlyn- "and then he saw the octopuss comming and then he.."
Me -"NOT NOW KAITLYN!"
Kaitlyn "and then he took the swordfish and then he...
Me " Kaitlyn NOT NO..(poof!)..ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!"
The above can also be substituted for the picture she just drew,something her friend did at school, ANYTHING to do with the Titanic (the ship not the movie) or any of 1,000 other things
-
mine likes to tease me by making a gesture much like another form of "playing" when she refers to the game.
cruel. cruel cruel woman.

That's not a compromise...she gets your time and picks the movie...wth?
No, I take off from AH and we watch a good fighter flick...now thats compromise.

SunKing posted this pic below on our Squad's web site. Not sure where it came from. Another thread in here I think. Gave me a good laugh and I am sure many of you have seen it. :)

After showing it to my wife she told me how to make one up for a woman. ;)
Enjoy.

Oh oh. My wife who was reading this thread just noted that I have had over 7000 posts on this BB.
The 88's just kicked in.
:eek:
-
Really though, I have a gem. She almost never gives me any flak. When I need to get off she lets me know.
She was shocked about the 7000 posts though. No getting out of that one, I am in for a lot of teasing. :)
-
When flying in the MA busting balls with some. I can be found taking yells from afar "Are you STILL PLAYING?!", "We're leaving in 5 minutes with or without you!". My favorite "ack" of all time comes from my Son. He'll randomly waltz into the computer room and sit down. Usually I'll be fighting and he hits the power button on the PC :rofl . (sarcasm = :rofl )

PS - My wife has perfected the "Lee Van Cleef" appearences.

Wife Ack is way overmodeled on my end.
too many one ping kills.... Why is it that only when I am in front of the computer is when the siding needs painting....

So if you're gay and your boyfriend is yelling at you for some attention...would you call that Man-Ack?

If you have to ask the question then you need counseling, or a lubricant...
Good luck with both!

That's what happens when there's no Hockey in Canada.

I know 2 former AH players who's wifes blamed the computer as the major player in the divorces.
Cant wait to get married:aok
-
I fly with a headset/mic combo.....
I get the "conversation time" and get yelled at cause she can't talk to me when I am flying!! It is like "DON"T YOU SEE I'M BUSY" I just get the "Never mind!"
By then....I have hit the trees.:D
-
I'm lucky. My wifes a saint. Never get wife ack. I also never ignore my wife either. Sometimes she plays flight attendant and brings me food. When she want's or needs something she asks. Then I say "I can't right now I'm in the middle of a fight!!" Them she adds "When you get shot down will you give me a hand??" I get no respect either!:D
Peace

Ok this is gonna get get me laughed at but I just about got my butt handed to me by my wife over this game. There has been many fights about the amount of time I play at any one time.
I can spend 10 minutes on it and get yelled at or 8 hours and get screamed at. Anymore I only play when the little princess is at work. Its just not worth the agrrevation and me going to prison over this game.
-
What about husband-ack?
At least i dont ask: 'who the hell is Nicki?!?'
-
Maybe not.But now we have Frank! LOL
-
88s????? Where in the world does she find clothes? :eek:

It's simple really
Just remind her if you did'nt have AH, you'd be down at the bar drinking:D
-
What Flit said.
Wife loves that I'm home virtually flying, instead of realality out drinking. And if she acts up I stuff her pantyhose down the 88 she is firing from, next thing ya know she covered in melted nylon.
And if she really starts to bother me,
All I have to do is ask for sex, that usually scares her off.
virtual sex virtual flying, if it weren't for the virtual world i wouldn't have either.:rofl
-
Don't have that problem. My GF has her own account and enjoys it has much as I do.

The first 2 years I was married I had ICQ running all the time with sound enabled.
So I'd be taking a break from the puter, sitting with my wife & ICQ would go off in the other room. Yeuuehew!
Wife stops dead, looks over her shoulder, pins me with "The" look.
"Your ***** in the other room is calling"
Yeah, wife ack big time.
So I dumped ICQ, quite flying "Quite" so much when she was around. Didn't hurt any when I'd get calls from these guys named "Daddog" Ozark, Teerex" etc.
So now she realises its not just a game, and a few friends. Its a way of life, and a lot of brothers. She's seen the way the Mongrels support those in need.
No more wife ack. (although she will come rape me now & then while I'm in the TA just for old times sake.)
But Fri nights when I fly with the squad its hands off, lock the doors, phone off the hook and do NOT go into the office.
Life is good :)

WOW!
I read these stories and can't beleive it. My wife never bothers me when I am on my computer. She occasionally shows up and asks if I need anything. She will even run interferance for me when my 6 year old gets anxious. He will come in and I will let him sit in my lap and fly for awhile. When the wife see's he is starting to get bothersome she will come in and nab him.
The other day after spending my entire vacation in front of AH she told me it was nice to spend a quite xmas vacation at home this year and that she is glad I am flying again (I quit WB in 97). She enjoys watching me have a great time.

Well i didnt think about the whole deal before hand...i just figured ghosth would answer the door.
So to answer your question, she said "what?" and then we kinda stared at each other..then i said "I'm from Canada" then i ran away.

:rofl
-
Hmmm, no wife ack for me but I get shot down all the time.... ...then I leave the singles club, come home, and play AH!:lol
-
ROFLMAO
Well that brings a big belly laugh to lighten my morning!
Dunno Loser, you must have caught her cleaning or something. Ussually she doesn't say a word if you call & ask for ghosth.
All she actually said was that "Loser from Canada" stopped by to say hi. I asked her, "he didn't stay?? She said no he left right away" I always wondered where the "from canada" part came from. As we hadn't talked about where you were from that I could remember at all. Now of course everything is explained!
:)

lol Loser!

I use a simpler one for my GF... I tell her I could be at the strip club getting a lap dance instead of playing AH.
She got to where she wanted to 'talk' at 8:45 every Saturday night I started wanting to 'talk' during CSI... problem solved

Never experienced much womack, saw more lingerie than usual tho. Made the fatal error of showing mine how entertaining internet gaming could be. Then about a week later i had to buy a another system, so i could get on-line again.
Women and the internet by far are worse than men.

My Wife doesn't mind that I play but, she does have the habbit of making strafing cheek kiss runs on me at the most inoportune times. Right in the middle of a furball or bombing run for example.

My wife does the same thing, but it's usually her bare tits that she's sticking in my face.
