to be annoyed with, and not understand man's obsession with Call of Duty Black Ops?

[Mare11bp]

Well, am I? I think it's the biggest load of pants I have ever seen.

Could day the same about women and MN?

Say not day.

I don't expose DP to Mumsnet. He has his own laptop so not hogging equipment. But Black Ops is on lounge TV. I am on the sofa. Even the Black Ops music is annoying.

Oh I am in the same position. Even if DH has 5 minutes spare he will hop on to CoD. ARGH.

No men I know play games like that. I thought it was for teenagers?

Didn't I tell you? He is 15. Don't call the police.

We don't own a games console, DH has never really been into that stuff. He specialises in endlessly watching Led Zepplin concert footage on YouTube.

I'm obsessed with Tomb raider so I'm really not in a position to comment.
We are hardcore gamers in this house, it's one of those things that people either get or they don't.

We fight over who gets to play new games first. I fucking love CoD.

i love CoD black ops rule...especially the zombie levels

Video games are for children - YANBU

Leave the twat

bringonthegoat CoD BO is an 18 rated game

I love watching my son play Sacrifice.

My favourite is Zombies! I watched my son for over 2 hours play it with his mates! Level 32 they got to.

Just because it don't float your boat don't mean it is shit.

It shouldn't be an 18 there are no guts and gore its real tame.

YANBU. Absolutely, same goes for all computer games to be honest.

I'm a Black Ops widow also!
Precisely why I don't live with my DP! 50" plasma is only telly in flat...plus he shouts and swears at it making me jump every bloody time! It's his only vice so I suppose I can cope!
I spend far more hours MNing but it doesn't involve anybody else and can at least have a conversation whilst doing so!

"It shouldn't be an 18 there are no guts and gore its real tame."

You have to torture someone by smashing a window, putting the broken glass in their mouth and then repeatedly punching them in the face, is that not guts and gore?

You need to get your partner a) some headphones b) his own TV.

Another COD:BO widow here.
I have banned the use of the 50" plasma for it so he sulks using the 16" PC monitor.
The only video game I find fun is Mario Kart on the Wii.

I'm an Elder Scrolls nerd I'm afraid.

DH will be ignored in NOvember when the new one gets released.

I make DH wear headphones

And DS has told all his class mates that it's his game and he lets Daddy play it sometimes in his seven year old dreams

I'd bloody love to be a CoD widow, I HATE FIFA 11 (and 10 and 09 etc for infinity).

Love Elder Scrolls though, almost ruined the excitement of Dragon Age 2 when I saw the trailer for Skyrim, replaying Oblivion already to tide myself over.

Cannot wait for Skyrim - though will be fighting DH over who gets to play it first.

Really want Dragon Age 2 as well but will have to wait until next month as cannot afford it at the moment. :-(

I love Oblivion- when I read the run down for Skyrim, I squealed

We used to have Halo parties before it all went online. We had lots of teles in different rooms, xboxes all connected together and it was bloody brilliant.
