Some of us are blessed with either a girlfriend or wife who also enjoys playing video games (not me though). So I thought I'd offer you some advice in the form of....

Things you should never say or do around your significant other

1. If you're a guy never say: "Gee honey, I look better in this Mai costume than you ever did."

2. Also guys should never say: "Holding this joystick in my hand just feels so natural."

3. Never scream out your high scores during sex.

4. When your out on a date never tip the waiter at a restaurant with a game token.

5. Never take your girlfriend to a creepy mansion at night because you'll usually be forced to rescue her.

6. When you start losing against your significant other never turn the game off in the middle of a match.

7. Don't discuss console specs, unless the female is talking. Then as the guy all you do is agree with everything she says.

8. Never give matching his and her memory cards as an anniversary gift.

9. Pushing your significant others little brother/sister who's in the middle of a game and taking over while visiting his/her house is something best avoided.

10. Arcades do not make a prime location for a first date.

11. Neither do stores that sell games.

12. If your significant other is waiting in the bedroom for you don't stay on the internet trying to catch up on all the latest game news at your favorite bulletin boards.

13. Don't break up with your significant other if she/he prefers 3D games.

14. When getting into an argument with your significant other don't respond to everything he/she says with phrases like, "Ooga Bonk!", "Dabba Dooba!", or "Ooga Mooga!".
