Buy another 360 and set her up with her own account. You 2 can play each other and even have a Gamerscore race.

yeah, but she's not any good. it'd be pathetic and i'd feel sorry for her and let her win everything. she keeps asking me to beat stuff for her as she plays the campaign, so yeah.

I think you're stuck in a predicament.

Somehow, you should make her hate the games. Or you can pretend to get upset at the game, so she will tell you it's OK and that you don't have to play for her.

Get a small TV and hook the 360 up to that, put it somewhere she wouldn't find it, then get home one day and scream "SOMEONE STOLE THE XBOX!"

...problem solved. ;)

Wait, your mom plays videogames? That's good for co-op achievements, at least.

I think he meant his wife when he was referring her as my "old lady".

I think he meant his wife when he was referring her as my "old lady".That's what context clues told me, but I have never seen colloquial English use the phrase in the fashion before.

According to your definition, though, the answer is simple:

Get a divorce.

get her a ds. a truly awesome piece of machinery, so many good games already out.
i bet she would get hooked on brain age or if she likes mario games all of them kick some major ass.

or if you want to flush your hard earned money down the toilet buy her a psp instead

That's actually a great idea! I'll 3rd that.

The DS is quite the little entertainer. Including the one I own, I have 3 DS Lites within my household currently. Surprisingly, my mom loves it. I got one for my girlfriend, but I have yet to see her play with it.

I guess some like it more than others. I have seen girls with them, but I see kids with them more than anyone.

I had a similar problem. I just bought a DS. Now every time my girlfriend comes over she plays that. You just have to find a game she likes.

Yell "BOOOM, HEAD SHOOT" every time she gets head shotted. And when she just gets owned yell, "YOU GOT EATEN UP!! HOW DID YOU GET OWNED SO BAD" and start hitting her with a pillow.

My woman loves her DS...so I have to suggest that too. She buys just about every RPG for it that she can get her hands on.

Does she like games like The Sims? My girlfriend loves the sims and that's pretty much the only video game she'll ever play. If your wife likes The Sims, either get it for her othe PC or buy a PS2 and get her all the sims for it. There's lots, should keep her busy and off your 360 for awhile lol.
