:lol: :lol: :lol:
Sorry but it's really is funny.

But you can fix it easily. Just stop talking about Oddworld when she's around and stop playing Oddworld when she's around.

it sounds easily,but to me it's impossible :crying: :crying:

Teehee!

That's funny! Get a life - none of the Oddworld games are worth fanatacism or addiction.

I have a suggestion, burn your games!

I'm not sure CDs or DVDs burn, as such. But still, you must have more experience than I do.

I have a suggestion, also. You should find something more important and fun than Oddworld. Primarily, this should be your girlfriend.

Or you could just stop listening to her complaints. I do that with some people, and suddenly I don't feel so bad.

But don't fret, I'm sure many people on these Forums can sympathise with you. Like Jacob.

I cant really sympathise with him 'til i know his age. If he is young (11-13) there's nothing i can really say. However, above 13 i can. So, how is are you?

try to speak about something else and spend more time with her.
it's the only advise I can give, cause I never got that kind of problem (everything is like a dream with my girlfriend)

You mean really weird and bizarre, only a few people can explain it, and you can't remember what happened when you wake up?

Hmm.

do you refer to my post?
I just mean everything is perfect and there is nooo trouble.

Oh right, okay. Yes, I can see how that is like a dream. Silly me.

I have just realised something...at your age you cant really call it love. Any child under the age of 15 is not capable of Love.

Jacob,
I'm 15, and I think that I know what love is.
But I will not try to proove you I know it, cause I don't see how do it.

Erm...Love is something you dont exactly experience until you have had lots of Girlfriends/Boyfriends. You may think that you are in Love but it is highly doubtful you are. I...for the past 2 yrs thought i was in love...infact it was Lust. Love is something you only experience with experience...its a sad fact. *Sigh*

well I know what Lust is, and I know what Love is. (and logic: I know the difference)

You are right Jacob, peopel are often wrong about that subject. They think it's love (or Lust) and it's finnaly the other option.

Uhuh, but sometimes it can be different stuff. Like just a crush or sumat...i fall in 'love' quickly and then it turns to lust and then it takes ages for me to get over him/her.

your one sad dude.... nuff said

HE AINT REPLYING BECAUSE he doesnt wanna lie that hes young he dont even sound like a teenager.....i seen him on and he did not post back. thats what people do if there scared of lieing when somebody ask them like jacob did he just i think is trying to be funny.......:fuzemb: maN im still sad they i faked a death

Vykkersawbones get over it already. what you did in the past is gone some people have already forgiven you. Its ok bud, dont keep a grudge about it, its over,its ok now.:fuzsmile:

Me...? Sad...? No, just troubled.

Yes...obviously?

Oddbod, this is sad.

lol, its quite entertaining really. Mainly because of the fact that he's getting so wound up about what people on the net think and say about him. Next step would be suicide.

its something he should just forget about,and he should stop mentioning it.

Jacob,if tou think i'm young than forget it.:fuzemb: i'm 16!

(I think he was basing his assumption on your typing ability and how well you make sense:|) So um, whats the point. You want her to think she like Oddworld more than you, because it hurts her or soemthing that your a bigger fan, but your relationship that is implied as "love" is dependant upon her liking Oddworld more, but you really do like it mroe?
Just hide your stuff, make copies of your games and burn the originals. Or, use them as coasters (Very useful while gaming at the computer), frisbee, whatever... I don't know, just do something...

well,i tore of my oddworld posters,i throwed out my magazines,soled my ae and ao games!!!!
(but maybe she's mad at me because in the past i really paid more atention to oddworld!

p.s.:but i really :love: her

Erm, ok... So you've eleminated all traces of Oddworld, and our paying mroe attention to her. Heh, shame Oddworld was never 2 player;)

what do you mean? it was to(i don't know about pc, but i'm sure about ps)

Ack, I don't remember 2 player anyways... But hey, look at it this way, you've, well, given up Oddworld for some girl. LEts pt it this way, if she ever dumps you, make her regret it;):devil:

nice one!:D :smokin:

i aint gonna suicide jacob......nothings funny about it really

Actually my assumption that he was young also went on the fact his girlfriend was getting jealous of him paying more attention to OW. Something a child is more likely to do. Basically i think she just finds it disturbing. If you had my social skills you would be getting married to 5 different women by now (Not that i like to brag, of corse)

exactly.....

i have a girlfreind and she loves oddworld just as much as me so i can't really help you.

sorry!

nah,that's okay!

I love Oddworld, Deus Ex, ice cream...etc. and im just 14. :)

I dont know if that was a joke DX...if it wasn't then do u have warm tingly feelings when you see those games/items? Do you feel all warm when your with them? Do you hug them and kiss them and tell them you love them?

If it was a joke ignore that.

well I hope it was a joke.
I don't want to see someone have those reactions with a game...
:fuzzle:

Actually, I don't have that problem as my boyfriend is as big of an Oddworld fan as I am... in fact Oddworld bought us together.

However, I don't agree that you had to get rid of all of your Oddworld things just because of your girlfriend. Sure, your relationship is important, but you need to respect each other's interests. That is discuss it with her. Explain to her about how much you are an Oddworld fan, while still showing her how much you care for her. Instead of getting rid of all of your Oddworld things, you should have just taken them down, and stored them away. You're done the extreme which wasn't needed.

Also, if you have discussed it with her, she should respect your interest. For example, my boyfriend is interested in classic cars. Although I don't have this interest, I take the time to show interest in it with him... and have even learnt to respect classic cars. And I would never expect him to give this interest up. Yes, he does go on about cars (and Oddworld) at times... but we have an understanding about our interests and it is all fun. The key is sorting any doubts out (i.e. her thinking you like Oddworld more than her), once you have done this you won't have that problem.

On another point... Jacob mentioned that you must have had lots of boyfriends/girlfriends in order to experience love. I disagree here. Both of my parents did not go out with other guys/girls before they met... and they are still happily married over 30 years. There are many others who are like this also. I can see that in some people's cases having previous boyfriends/girlfriends or crushes will allow you to easily identify this feeling. But love is something that really goes in depth... and you can tell this regardless of whether you have one relationship or many.

Abe Babe...

Well said Abe Babe. Well Mullock2 i think your problems have been given its diagonostic. Good luck bud.:fuzsmile:

God, i always seem to clash with MoDs when stuff like this comes up.

Abe Babe, u have to understand their age. 15/16 is a young age. School is very brutal at that age and teens have this need to fit in. Sure, her going out with him is nice and all and probably boosts her status abit for having a boyfriend but him likeing OW publicly is a bit embarassing for her. OW is a relativly childish game (Well, upto now it is.) and she probably doesn't want to have ppl secretly think lower of her. Obviously, i dont know him or her so i am basically going on the facts...which i have just remembered are different to what i just stated. So...ahem...try again, she probably wants a relationship that includes love, going to the movies and other stuff, most likely like past ones she has. It is very upsetting to be with someone you care deeply about and to have them not pay any attention to you and just talk about something not of your likeing.

The Love thing, yes, it has happened but it is very rare. Going out with other people is more likely to increase your chances in finding love. Also, it is quite depressing to think about spending the rest of your life with one person from the teenage years. Teen years are basically the years were you should be identifying with yourself and having fun, experimenting and going out with many. Late 20's early 30's is the time for settling down. Most people who think their in love are not and it will crush them when they break up with that person.

Actually I don't consider Oddworld a very childish game... it is actually too "dark" for most kids to play... childish games are those like Pokemon and the Mario games (to give examples).

I think there is a lot more to being a teenager than "schoolyard popularity". I never cared what people thought... in fact I never had a boyfriend in school, and that suited me fine. Sure a lot of people care about status and that... but not everyone does. I'd much rather be my own person than do what everyone else is doing just because it's "cool" or "acceptable".

Also, I wasn't implying that he should not show her care and attention, I was illustrating the fact that for a relationship to be successful one needs to show attention to their partner, but they can also still have their interests... this is where the two involved need to work out things and talk about it. Like when mullock's girlfriend said he likes Oddworld more than her... we don't know what context this was in. If she accused him of this without discussing things... then this is wrong on her part. Both need to work things out.

Another part of a relationship is that both need to be tolerant of the other. You can't "force" a person to change. You need to respect their beliefs and interests. You don't have to agree with them... but you should respect them and not try to give them an ultimatium (sp?). If you truly cared for someone, you'd like them for who they are. That's part of loving someone. Maybe in Molluck's case this is different, as it's a teenage relationship, not a serious one. But that's more the reason to not force the person. If she really cared for him, she shouldn't care if Oddworld is not popular amongst teenagers at their school. Plus if she is only going out with him to "boost her status" as you say... then that's "really" a wrong reason to start a relationship with someone in the first place, regardless of what age one is.

Abe Babe...

shut the hell up we get it
