Too bad the wife is coming home tonight. No more all night farming…
Lol, been there man 🙂
Pshh my lady just left for the weekend. No sleeping for three days.
The significant other in the house is pulling a 4 day run Fri – Mon, hellooooo all nighters.
Aotona is now mine, and as crazy as it sounds, I think I owe it to my wife. She must be some sort of good luck charm or something.
She was flying in from a week-long training trip, due in at about 7:30. I get home at about 6 and start circling the basin, just in case he spawns. No dice. Wifey comes home, so what do I do? I immediately close the game down, properly greet her, and all the good husband-y stuff.
We chat for a bit, then she tells me she wants to unpack. I figure... Okay, let me log in really quick and do a couple laps, not thinking it could possibly pop. Mid-way through my second lap, BOOM! NPCScan goes off, I tag, trap, and tame Aotona and my collection is complete! I'm nerd rage excited. Wife-y comes in to the man cave to see what I'm doing, and I have to curb my enthusiasm. She already thinks I'm a big enough nerd.
I proudly show her my spoils from the last few weeks. She doesn't get it, but she's supportive.
Still, I give her credit for me finding Aotona. Funky spawn time, too. Like, 7:51 or something like that.
Bring on Cata! Now, to level all these bad boys (and girls) up to 80!

I laughed so hard at this because I know exactly what you mean, I have to curb the "nerd rage excitement" at times too, and my wife just laughs and says, "Oh that wolf thing is pretty! Nice job honey", aren't supportive wives just the best 🙂

I used to get that kind of support. Now it's like... "hey honey, check out this awesome new mount I just got 😀 (after having blown like 13K for my chopper)"...
her: *pauses for one second as she walks through room* "Oh jeeze..." *walks away*
me: 🙁
Awww…./comfort
I could totally see my wife doing that as well, I think I just caught her on a good night, plus she likes it went I hunt for spirit beasts, she got excited when I told her I was waiting for a bear to show up (while hunting arc of course) and she pointed to the vast number of brown bears walking around and said, "there's one, get that one!" and I'm like no sweetheart a special bear...geez that sounds gay...but anyway she got mad because I didn't wake her up when he popped, when she found out I was hunting another "special" pet, she was on board and excited for me and came in cheering when I yelled, got him! It was also cute because my little girl came running in and clapping her hands too...adorable 🙂
That is so wicked cute!
My son and I do that, it's a great bonding tool. What else does a mom have to talk about with their teenage son? I think his father feels left out, but Golfing is just so not as exciting as finding that rare spawn, or kicking ass and saving a raid in a near-wipe, or designing a really cool addon that everyone benefits from, or...
god, i'm a geek. I'll just admit it right here and now.
We may be geeks, but at least we don't golf...
LOL he would be horribly irritable if he didn't golf. I hated walking on eggshells if he didn't get out each week. He used to get angry with us if we were sad we missed a raid, and I made the mistake once of saying "at least we don't throw things for being late for a tee time." Wrong thing to say! LOL!
hahaha!
My GF doesn't like WoW at all 🙂
I took the time to show her the game and how I have cool pets and stuff and her response was "Oh cool, soooo now your t-rex thingy can go uh, do stuff and you can come hang out with me!"
Although she does think that it's pretty sweet she can cook in a video game.
guys… plenty of skin time = plenty of wow time. trust me on this.
*gasp EDIT!*
I mean cuddle time. Sheesh.
Skin....cuddle. Whats the difference.

This cracked me up. Wow.. my friend turned boyfriend was one of the guys who got me started into this game. Now I'm more addicted to it then they are. They all bounce from MMO to MMO and come back on expansions and what not. And who had to loan them all 5K gold when they came back right before this xpac..
But Grats all you guys on the fun pets. I still havent started….
