    That's brilliant :beer:. Now I know what to get hubby for Christmas ;)

    :D

    Just be aware, according to the "About" section of the website, drinking one of those is like necking two cans of Red Bull and if you have a Niacin deficiency (my partner isn't around to tell me what the heck that is) it can give you sunburn like symptoms!

    On the plus side, you do get +160 health or mana, depending on the potion consumed of course but it is on a 24 hour cooldown.

    Sounds like a perfect solution to those long raid nights spent in the dungeons of Azeroth. And who cares about sunburn when you spend days at a time shut in a dark room screaming instructions at your guild-mates..

    Well I suppose there's some truth to that. :D

    Although as you mentioned he's a healer, you may need to get some sort of skin soother too because otherwise he might need to scratch himself just as some nab decides to stand in the fire.
  • I'm a gamer (not addicted) so my opinion will be coloured by this but I really think that you're over reacting. Firstly, fiver a month on a game is a pretty cheap vice to have, he could spend that on a cup of coffee and a sarnie so I'd leave that out of your considerations entirely. Secondly, you met him on RS, you've played it so you know the addictive nature of it - a little understanding of that wouldn't go amiss. Finally, why on earth did you tell him that he couldn't play and why on earth did he agree to it? Is he a "quiet life" type? In that it's just easier for him to say "yes dear" and go his own sweet way rather than argue the toss with you? If that's the case you're going to have to be non confrontational with him as issuing an ultimatum or shouting will just cause him to disengage then do whatever he liked anyway. If you can stay calm, be willing to compromise, and have a rational talk with him you're far more likely to make progress.

    I met my partner on a game, we are both still gamers and we play regularly, when we get in from work we make dinner then after that we do whatever we like (usually gaming) until 9:30 or so after which we usually plonk down on the sofa with a DVD or something. Sure, sometimes one or the other of us is perceived to be spending too much time gaming but we can both handle being asked to step away from the keyboard.

    Talk to him by all means but don't go off on one as that will just make him more inclined to keep secrets.
    Whatever

    So all this is my own fault? Trust YOU to say something like that. I don't value your opinion so i will ignore it.

    If you honestly think that he hasn't lied i feel sorry for you.


    have you never 'lied' ? about anything?

    At the end of the day no other person can make you happy , only you can .
