Online Gaming for Couples?

Posted by Cliff on from the games-for-long-distance-relationships dept.

psuedo_samurai asks: "My longtime girlfriend recently had to move to complete her studies at a University, which is nowhere near where I live. Talking on the phone is quickly becoming old, as I'm a typical guy and hate being on the phone longer than 3 minutes, but I try. So I was thinking - I like games, she likes to talk, why not combine the two? So are there any online games suggested for couples using a headset? I can't see Counter-Strike or Rainbow Six working, but I was thinking maybe DDR Ultramix on Xbox Live? How about PC titles with headset support? Any suggestions?"

      That's no troll.

      The whole idea that his gf is in some far away place for the long term and he's such an immature dork he can't even manage a phone call more than 3 minutes and thinks online gaming is somehow the answer and she's *not* banging the hell out of 1,2,3, or more guys is just naive and stupid.

      She is screwing other guys. Period.

      Dork boy should go find a new gf closer to home or move there fast.
