I just want to say right off the bat, I love my wife. Caroline has been nothing but the best thing that has ever happened to me. That being said, she is still the subject of this entry. Why? She's slowly becoming a gamer and I'm helping her. She's already beaten both Champions of Norrath games for the PS2, her scores are the highest in the crash mode of Burnout 3, she just finished Final Fantasy 9 and is now working on the PS1 version of Final Fantasy 1. Just last night she beat Lich and Kary. IN THE SAME NIGHT! Is it me or is everyone I meet better at FF1 than me? To top it all off, a friend of mine whom I played the online MUD Achaea with suggested I get her involed in Achaea. I scoffed at the idea, only for her to suggest it one night while I was playing. Now she has a Siren character within the Sentinel class.
I'm sure we've all expiernced something like this: Your significant non-gamer other meekly requesting a turn and to humor them you hand them a controller, fully not expecting anything but for Mario to run smack into the first Goomba he sees. Sometimes that happens. Othertimes you're blown away as they bash thier way to World 9 without so much as losing a single life. If it weren't for the fact that FPS games make her dizzy, I wouldn't be surprised if she is able to kick my ass in Halo. (Not that it's very hard. I do kinda suck)
I've already decided to bequeth the old PS2 to her once I obtain a PS3. It only seems right seeing as how thats where her skills have grown from. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if your non-gamer boy/girlfriend starts becoming insanely good at games, have fun with it! I know it's hard to not feel jelous, but take joy in thier joy. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go now. I think I just heard her say something about wanting to play FF7. That will NOT be tolerated.
