Today, I felt frisky, so I did my hair and put on make-up and some lingerie. I walked into the living room, where my husband was playing a video game. He glanced up, said, "Oh, for fuck's sake." and made me wait nearly 15 minutes for him to reach a save-game point. FML

Getting to the save spot is pretty essential for gamers... If you waited for him you're an amazing wife!

I'm wondering is the OP constantly interrupting him during his game time wanting sex? Or is he constantly playing his game and therefore being a bit of a jerk?

Well maybe next time you'll wait till he's not playing video games to do some shit like that again... We take out games seriously & to interrupt us in the middle is like us interrupting you females during your drama shows/movies

Your kidding right...? I'm a gamer and so is my husband but there have been times where we interrupted each other (like once when I was watching a movie by myself too) and we didn't get all pissy, instead we stop what we were doing and satisfy each other. I can understand being in the zone and what not but this is another person who WANTs to give YOU pleasure and was even willing to make herself look sexy for YOU. That's just sad if you rather play a video game that you can pause, instead of getting some pleasure with your spouse.

And you waited, why? I would have changed and walked right out the door.

I find it funny that all these people who claim to be gamers come on with "There's a pause button" Well, there's also a "zone", and when you're in it, you never want to leave. Any true gamer knows what it's like to be in the zone, and what it's like to be yanked forcefully from it by the needs of someone else.

Yeah no. "Any true gamer" my ass. I'm a gamer, been one for years, and me and my partner fight over who gets the playstation this time instead of "omg you're playing instead of giving me attention" (really need to find some more good co-op games and/or get a second console, I vote both!). No matter what zone I am in, or whether I am *this* close to beating that asshole of a boss I have been trying to get past for ages, I am never disrespectful. If it's possible to pause the game, I'm putting that console down (ESPECIALLY for sex, that's a no brainer). If not, I'd simply say baby please just let me get past this bit and I'm all yours, not "for effs sake". Mind you, helps that we're both gamers so we get the whole "hold up, epic boss fight" thing but still for both of us interaction with each other trumps the game hands down and no way would either of us disrespect the other like that.

You most likely knew there'd be a fair chance he was playing, so you put yourself - and him - in an unfortunate situation. Do you stop whatever you are doing when HE feels frisky? Probably not. If you had been cool you would have said "the faster you get to a savepoint, the sooner you get this achievement.

Okay guise imagine your watching a movie and its getting really good. Then your significant other comes in wanting sex. Do you really want to pause it have sec and come back to it later?

Few problems with this that no one here is taking into effect: 1) If he was playing on an Xbox 360, he can't just simply pause it to go have sex, because after a certain amount of the time the Xbox will shut itself off. Therefore, he would have a legitimate reason to want to reach a save point. 2) His "For **** sakes" could have been aimed at himself and not at you in any way. People are really over analyzing his statement. If my partner did that, I'd say the same thing too, not because of her, but simply because of what I was doing at the time. 3) Some games you honestly can't just "pause." Not because it's a classic or anything like that, but simply because if he's playing online (video games are online, an online game is a video game), the game will continue even if he does pause. 4) No one likes to be interrupted when they are busy. I hate it, you hate it, everyone hates it. It doesn't matter if it's a wife reading a book in bed, or the husband in the "Gamer Zone." If your partner is busy, wait... if you can't wait, learn to. If you can't learn, then you're SOL.

Your first argument holds little water. A 360 goes off by itself after SIX HOURS. I doubt any man short of Ron Jeremy could be capable if that. Pun intended. Still agreed with your other points, though.,

The only system I know of that will power down automatically after an hour is the Wii U, and there are settings you can adjust to extend that period of time. My 360, PS3, and original Wii will simply implement burn-in reduction to save your TV and will stay powered on indefinitely (though it's probably not good for the hardware).

I don't know about you #198, but my Xbox turns itself off after about an hour.

You can set your XBox to stay on in the settings.
