My 36 year old husband is overly excited he has a day off tomorrow with toddler in nursery so he can do just that.

If he doesnt fit in a bathroom clean between shooting aliens i will murder him.

Wtf is smutty fabric?!? Fanfic.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:47

Tbh Lou It's worth playing just to oogle at the Angarans. Not Jaal but Evfra, playing and you'll know what I mean.

And Ovaries You're awesome too.

Sorry OP, didnt mean to turn your thread into a geek fest.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:48

Loup I didnt even spot that. I cant even blame auto correct, that's my brain lol That's gonna make me laugh all day now.

LoupGarou · 25/06/2017 14:50

Mmmm, oogling you say....I'm fascinated now Grin. I'll have to get it when I next head into civilization (I live in a remote part of the world) might have to move the trip up a bit too.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:50

Oh, it was you lol Thanks Loup for that laugh you just gave me.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:51

Also watch out for Dr Carlyle, voice by the same guy who voiced Primarch Victus. I have a really fetish for Turians.

LoupGarou · 25/06/2017 14:51

Lol Tali, smutty fabric, I kind of dread to think what that looks like! Grin

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:53

A couple doing the doggy I'm guessing lol

GamingnameC · 25/06/2017 14:54

LoupGarou · 25/06/2017 14:54

Yes likewise (Turians). Mine extended to Saren. I am beyond hope. Ahem. Yeah, his voice is quite something isn't it? Very well written character too I thought, good to know his voice is still with ME Grin

YouTheCat · 25/06/2017 14:55

Bit jealous of the gaming room.

Gaming can be very social. I met my partner through gaming.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:56

Councillor Sparatus "Ah yes, "Reapers", we've dismissed that claim" Currently writing a fanfic about the Councillor atm.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:56

Every room in my house is a gaming room. DD is getting started now.

EdmundCleverClogs · 25/06/2017 14:57

GamingnameC, my partner just says he hates you - trust me, it's pure jealousy Grin. Seriously though, looks amazing!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 14:58

GamingnameC If you have a mega drive, you are fucking adopting me!

Unadon · 25/06/2017 14:59

RedPeppers What a narrow-minded, judgemental post. Back in my old guild in WoW, there was a young bloke who practically became a hermit after losing his job and his wife. He lived that way for almost a year.

He joined our guild in March. In May, he spoke in voice chat for the first time. In January the following year, he attended the guild's New Year's party IRL and started sending out job applications again. And now, 3 years later, he is getting married to someone he met in the game.

But I guess that's not social enough for you.

LoupGarou · 25/06/2017 15:00

Your gaming room is brilliant Gaming

Yes Tali I do have a soft spot for Sparatus Blush. Are you indeed....Star Star Star more stars for public service, there isn't enough non-Garrus turian fanfic out there. I do love Garrus though.

LauderSyme · 25/06/2017 15:01

Oh good.
I can look forward to my 7 year old's nascent gaming compulsion to fizzle out within the decade then.... Wink

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 15:01

Unadon, what a nice story. Shows that gaming does a shit rep at times.

I met my lovely American pen pal though gaming FanFiction.

glitterglitters · 25/06/2017 15:01

My 31 year old husband does this on occasion lol

LoupGarou · 25/06/2017 15:02

BTW OP sorry for derailing with xenophilic perving Blush

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/06/2017 15:03

Loup I do adore Garrus but there's loads for him so the other sexy Turians deserved a spot in the limelight. If you want to read some stuff you can find me on Archive of our own.

GoldilocksAndTheThreePears · 25/06/2017 15:08

A lot of my (adult) friends I met on Destiny in the last couple of years have started playing Final Fantasy 14. A lot of them took days off for the recent expansion launch and many more will be for Destiny 2 beta and release! I talk to gaming friends every day through Discord, which is like a more modern Skype. In my 30s and gaming every day!

EastMidsMummy · 25/06/2017 15:09

So , nine months after starting playing, he spoke to some of you in real life? Yes, compared to most activities, that's not very sociable.
