Sassy writing!

I gave up on trying to make my significant other to like video games a long time ago. At least she stopped nugging me about it so that has to count for something...right? Right!

My wife sometimes suggests reading a book that she enjoyed.
I then think, this must be what it's like when i suggest getting her to try a game.
I just smile, say yes and then never mention it again.

UltraNova3046d ago

Well if its bullshit like 50 shades of grey then I dont blame you. However, reading a good book now and then doesnt hurt 😉

ravinash3045d ago

Usually my wife has good taste (She did read 50 shades and thought it was s***), plus she married me.
But if I'm ready text books for my next set of IT exams and things, like that I don't want to read more books.
Plus with time as limited as it is, I enjoy that spare time more gaming.

ravinash3045d ago

Reading...not ready... just to prove my point.

MeteorPanda3045d ago

Lol. I have converted so many ppl to the gamer life in my dating days

SilverClock3045d ago

OR. You could just date a gamer girl. Just saiyan.

UltraNova3045d ago

First you have to have gamer girls where you live. They are a rare, rare sight around here. Just saying...

SilverClock3045d ago

I'm in a small town just gotta be persistent and I found one. Was just persistent visiting the dating sites. It took a while though for sure. I'd leave the site a few months and come back and see who's new. Worth a shot, can't hurt. And who down voted me? XD More gamer girls for the rest of us I guess.

FunAndGun3045d ago

My bf is not much of a gamer and I have stopped trying to get him into playing games. He doesn't mind watching me play however, so I don't mind the situation.

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger1956d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook1955d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux1955d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook1955d ago (Edited 1955d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

https://youtu.be/VTveV4Yfh2...

SpaceRanger1955d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux1955d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow1956d ago (Edited 1956d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

Bleucrunch1958d ago

Exvalos1958d ago

Omfg lmao!!!!! Never a more perfect time to say that

badz1491958d ago

it's not over 9000 though

Father__Merrin1959d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard1958d ago (Edited 1958d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky641958d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky641958d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r1958d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble1958d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

1958d ago
JackBNimble1958d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
