With reguards to the chronic depression, Ive been faced with that as well. Be careful what medications you use! Get multiple opinions first, before jumping onto one medication. I recently went of my meds because it turned out that they were actually making my depression worse, causing a large amount of weight gain, and caused drastic mood swings. Just be careful.
Hey guys! Some notes:
- Prostitution isn’t legal in Clark County, where Las Vegas is. It’s legal in twelve rural counties a pretty good distance from that city.
- Hash is basically cannabis resin.
- Marijuana may be legal in Amsterdam, but all recreational drugs have been decriminalized in Portugal for nine years. Check out how it has gone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7FshBjkS6U&feature=player_embedded
- Chances are if someone’s wife has a problem with him playing video games, it’s either because he’s focusing too much on them rather than other things (such as her) or she just has something against them in general. I always cringe when I hear someone ask about how to get his wife or significant other into video games, because you usually can’t do it and shouldn’t try. Show her some games, sure, but if she’s not into it then she’s not into it. Most women I know who actually are into video games have been that way since they were kids, since most people get exposed to them as kids and have the chance to develop an interest or not. So I’d say:
1. If it’s that important to be with a woman who likes games as much as you do, then that should probably be a topic to broach when you’re not yet, you know, married.
2. And if the problem is that you’re ignoring her, then it doesn’t matter what you’re ignoring her to do if she’s not interested in it– you need to find something that you do both enjoy and do that at least some of the time.
3. However, you don’t need to do *everything* together, and really probably shouldn’t if you want to protect your sanity. Have different interests. Do the things you’re not both interested in by yourself, or with friends who actually are into it. Have a fun break from each other occasionally, and then you’ll appreciate each other more when you’re back together and have some interesting stories to share besides.
So there’s my hypothetical advice. Take it or leave it.
First off, this is one of my favorite podcasts. Love it. Followin you guys on Twitter as well. As far as I’m concerned, you guys could continue through season 9 of Hypothetical Help.
Shameless plug to my my own blog (podcast coming soon). I discussed podcasting today and gave you guys a nice shoutout!

Keep up the awesome work!
Here’s the way you can get a non-gaming wife to accept your play: HELP! Cheerfully bathe the kids, clean up your messes, take the kids out of the house for a couple of hours to go to a fun playtime or (for bonus points) to go to the grocery store. Ostentatiously clean a bathroom, or sweep something. No grumbling, or “faces.” And don’t look for overt praise for this. That is a big step back!
Women who work outside the home, like me, will be so much more tolerant of gaming or biker build-off TV or whatever if we do not have to come home from our “day” jobs and take over the entirety of the second shift at home. If you take some yucky stuff off our plates and let us have time to read or watch HGTV, we will be so happy to see you enjoying yourself at HALO or WOW. I promise.
