“She was staring into her screen, and I was staring into my screen,” Prieb told the New York Times reporter.
She knew what had to be done to keep her main squeeze happy. According to the story, Walsh gave Prieb a copy of World of Warcraft for his 32nd birthday and their lives were enhanced through gaming.
So I ask myself “Why am I still playing Silent Hill Origins when maybe ... just maybe I could find Mr. Right on World of Warcraft”. Well, even that would be a stretch. I am the most romantically challenged woman in North Carolina ... ask my friends. I can barely keep a boyfriend for more than a week before the ever-so-familiar battle for attention begins. “It’s me or the videogames, you can’t have both.”
Sigh. I seem to go through boyfriends faster than Pac-Man through a row of white dots. I wonder when I’ll find someone who accepts me for who I am the way Walsh accepted Prieb.
Then I break out out a tub of Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream for comfort, wipe the tears from my eyes, and smile at the one and only thing that loves me for who I am—my Sony PlayStation 2, 3 and PSP.
A few of my gamertell comrades have kindly offered me some advice:

You’ll need protection from someone’s rants about World of Warcraft, especially the female gamers who may go out of their way to present “Gamer Cred.”
Joshua Mallory writes: “Learn to enjoy games. Share your hobbies with your date, too. My fiancee adds: ‘Take turns.’”
