In spite of my significant other, I 10 box. I don't see the "shame" that some people express here. You act like what you are doing is an addiction, a disease or that something is wrong with you.

At some point perhaps, you can reach that with anything - sure.

But it's not like you are mortgaging the house to buy a $1000 box and spend $75 a month for HOURS AND HOURS of social interaction, entertainment and problem solving (among other things).

Honestly though - it wasn't really in spite of. She obviously knows about it and is supportive of what I enjoy in life.

But it doesn't impede me from putting proverbial food on the table. Plus it is money that I earned anyway. Do what you want in life. Life is short. You should enjoy it.

By established lines of communication, I mean you need to be able to communicate with your SO. If you can't be open with each other then what is the point? This isn't carte blanc to slam them or put them down. But you need to be able to be open about your desires in life and communicate with each other about what is important to each other. And then be supportive of what they want in life.

If you don't think that is ever possible then you might have chosen the wrong mate.

Similar to what I've always thought..."Enjoy what you can, while you can" :p In most situations multiboxing isn't any sort of addiction, I know in Zin and Ebola's cases they can afford it(and me to a much lesser, but still applicable extent) it's just a multitasking hobby for fun and challenge ;p If you do have to make ... arrangements? To keep the hobby going I'd step back and reevaluate your priorities lol

But I digress, when did a wine/whine thread turn into a life discussion? :p Are those your wines Zin or just something you found with incredibly ironic meaning? :p

I took my example to the extreme, I do not have to choose between gaming and food, my argument was that I'm kept in line, otherwise I'm sure my house wouldn't be in the same state that it is currently in.

But I'm sure we'd all be a bit farther down our lists of wants if we didn't have that woman to step in and say "no, you don't need a computer in the shower" every once in a while. (which a computer in the shower would be really cool BTW)

and as far as the transition... i think it happened around the time I asked if Xzin was the winery owner, who happens to be female.

Ah interesting...imagine the outcry of people knowing not only did they get ganked/beaten by a multiboxer but a female one at that ;) (Just playing to the stereotype of "you got beat by a girl haha", I personally believe they can play just as well, hell DA has alot of girls in guild who're awesome players ;p)

A winemaker is not by default the owner.

And I am very much a male... as amazingly funny as that development would be.

I honestly couldn't think of the technical title for a winemaker, so I went with owner, but as far as the whole funny development...

Back in the days of Dark Ages of Camelot there was this "guy" named Mistwraith, played a ton and was a pvp god. Over time people started assuming it was a guy. One day we all got into vent for the first time only to find out that the person we had assumed was a guy for the past 3 years was in fact a female. It lead to mass chaos on our server. By far one of the best memories of that game.
