3 days ago, I had a girlfriend. Note Had. She found the box of Orks and Space Marines under my bed. The rest is very awkward. She said it was best if we stayed friends. We were dating less than 72 hours. Alright!
Wow, when my husband and I started to date, I made it very clear that he had to START gaming. He still sucks at RPG's (my fav) but he loves minis... dork
Is your husband a 14-year-old popular drama geek? I hit it big, and lost it all. along with $120 in bets. And she was my first girlfriend. Like I said last time, ALRIGHT!

The 72 hour story has got to suck.....I guess I've been extremely lucky with gamer girls. One's reaction to me shouting: "FOR THE EMPEROR!" was 'Do you play 40k? Want to explain the background to me? It sounds awesome, but my 40k friends won't explain it to me. Say it's too complicated.'
My current 'girl i am going out with' (she won't call herself my girlfriend yet for some odd reason) reaction? "Oh my god, that's awesome. Say, can you show me how to paint those? It looks cool."
I feel incredibly lucky right now when it comes to gamer girls....

I would suggest you get to the bottom of that 'odd' reason before you go saying you are lucky lol.

Apparently on the Remembrance day tourney last year someone got slapped across the face with a codex for forgetting a rule.
It's a rumor however.
I can say for a fact though when I was younger I irl trolled them saying I thought it was inappropriate to remember our fallen soldiers by killing each other with plastic models.
I've sold so many armies. :(

Thankfully there haven't really been any horror stories at our FLGS. However, there was a blood angels player I was playing against who in my very first shooting phase, triple railguned his land raider to expensive bits. Had to hear for the whole rest of the game how he was only playing for fun now, constantly referencing the lack of landraider.
One of the few games I fondly remember for not losing a single model too.

was hanging out in a games store once and watched two 12-14 year olds go all "hobo street fights" on each other over a magic game.
It was bizarre because I had my back turned and I hear "F### YOU!" followed by, "F#($ ME? F(*$ YOU!" and then a crash. This skinny little fourteen year old had leapt across the table like Bobby Bouches (The Waterboy). The most impressive thing was that it wasn't one of those slap fights you sometimes see... they were throwing hay-makers and going for blood. One kid had a black eye and the other had a bloddy nose.
One of the most incredulous things was that after the store owner had separated them... one of them out of his own initiative walked up and apologized. I guess they still play each other and are friends.

What the feth was she doing rummaging underneath your bed?
Probably looking for his stash of pr0n and/or drugs, that's what people usually keep under their bed. I'd never be quite so obvious though if I was trying to hide such things, everyone knows to look there!

I was at a dakkadakka tournament once, and this total douchebag guy started powerdrinking Kronenbourg 1664 at ten oclock in the morning because it was a only a quid a pint.
This dill weed had drank 6 pints by his first match, he then stole chips off Legoburners plate, lost every single game and then fell asleep bolt upright on a stool and started snoring loudly in the bar at about 6 oclock in the afternoon, shortly after recieveing the wooden spoon.
Oh hang on a second that was me.

Wow no wonder man... It wasn't the models that did it then, she probably was more weirded out by your choice of wankin' material!

Considering they've been together only 72 hours and she's already paranoid, then chowderhead was better off without her.

Yeah I mean she probably wasn't paranoid at all, she just wanted to kick it off with style! Do some hard drugs and then with the pr0n... well, you know what they say: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..."
