Certainly. We both could talk about the game and enjoy it on a personal level, but too much time devoted to gaming leads to neglecting other aspects of your life.
We were once indulgent with our cuddle time, spending hours wrapped up in each others arms with the TV on a dull roar in the background, but this evolved to sitting behind computers at seperate desks interacting virtually with one another.
Simply put, we didn't get enough hugs and kisses!
Everything is best in moderation, but dangling such a pretty carrot in front of a geek is damn near irresistable. Crack for nerds is hard to do in moderation.
For the subset of/. community who do have significant others, one downside to this TV->RGP/gaming transition is that the evenings have less and less cuddle time.
Now that I think about it, it might be the very reason why my ex and I broke up. We forgot how to cuddle and were too buys geeking out in RPGs.
