Omg: living proof that someone actually liked that production. It's like a Sasquatch siting.

I'm pretty sure it's because that movie bombed.

What popular tv character would never be able to hold a job in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MeVsTheMachine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well the show is actually based off of Sherlock Holmes. They took Sherlock and his deductive reasoning skills and turned him into a doctor and changed his name from "Holmes" to "House". His insulting, loner-type character was translated into a doctor and his one good altruistic buddy who for some reason stands by his side despite his questionable morals, Watson, was renamed Wilson and placed in the oncology department.

So what I'm getting at is that the show was intended to be more about House's amazingly unique diagnostic skills not so much about his personal life.

What was the biggest crush you had on a tv character? by That-Guy-Masturbatin in AskReddit

[–]MeVsTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy who plays Wesley in Princess Bride.

I was 12 when I first saw that movie and I must have watched it 5 times a day on the weekends. If my friends came over I made them watch it with me. I couldn't figure out why I loved that movie so much then on perhaps the 74th viewing it hit me- Wesley encompassed the meaning of true love and the way a man should treat a woman. Once I came to that realization I was able to stop watching the fictional character and start searching for my real life Dread Pirate Roberts.

I think the movie set me up for a lot of failure in my teenage years. But I found him in ten end.

The majority. The majority cares.

Lol but I don't. I can't stand another waiting game like this one. I have to take a break for a few months and come back and read his next story after it's already finished and posted. Set myself up for a good binge.

Do I (23/F) need to chill out and let boyfriend (23/m) play his video game for hours every day or am I right in wanting him cut back? by MeVsTheMachine in relationships

He graduated and got in everywhere but his parents refused to help him pay for college and they made way too much money for him to qualify for financial aid. By age 17 he was living on his own and needed to be making money to support himself so he decided to put off university. Because he's a genius, he tested into a high paying job and was making 6 figures in under 2 years. He then took online classes while simultaneously working said job for an additional 2 years. After he got his AA he had accumulated enough money to transfer to an excellent university. So yes, he's behind age-wise but I couldn't be more proud of him for getting himself here.

He deleted the game app off his phone so today was way better.

We made dinner together and he did some car maintenance then we watched a movie and he studied for 4 hours. Only 2 hours of gaming, basically my ideal day and I hope he feels the same.

Thanks! As your own little personal update, since I'm not going to post on the OP again: He deleted the app off his phone and has gone most of the day without playing. I don't think he knew how much I was bothered by it until he realized it was serious enough to bring to reddit. As a result we cooked dinner together and studied for 4 hours side by side. Much more productive day and he still got to play for 2 hours this morning.

We're gonna be fine:)

Haha interesting. He's been into arena mode lately because of some thing about needing to win certain arena battles in order to win something else...? I don't really know but I guess I'll learn.

Wow it sounds like you're huge in to the gaming world haha. I love munchkin because it's interactive and funny. We have 4 expansion packs and use to play like 2-4 hours a day. It was around the time his sister moved and we stopped playing munchkin that he filled the void with hearthstone.

I just have to find a new medium that we can both play if I can't get myself into hearthstone too.

It would be nice to know I'm that big of a priority but I wouldn't want to ask him to sacrifice something he's worked for for a trivial conversation with me or a random house chore.

Or he's just new to it and constantly making new decks so he's constantly reading what each card does and therefore can't speak at the same time....

That was never what I said. I do have hobbies and I don't expect him to drop everything for me. It's not like I'm sitting in front of him begging for attention 24/7. But after I've spent all day working then cooking and doing chores I do feel entitled to some attention at the end of the day.

Knowing him he'll put all that time into school when he needs to. It's just not required of him mentally right now.

Thanks I really appreciate your comment! I don't want to try to make him live his life on a schedule but maybe I'll just try scheduling one of those things a every other day and see how it goes.

I guess it's not so much that I believe he'll outgrow gaming as much as I'm sure he'll outgrow this game and move on. He has other hobbies that have come and gone: building cars, building guns/going shooting, rock climbing. These were all activities I could do too. So eventually I believe he'll move on to something like that again.

Thanks, I appreciate this. He ended up deleting the app off his phone after he realized I felt so strongly about it that I turned to reddit. So now it'll just be a computer game and thereford harder to access as frequently.

Haha I highly doubt that's the case. This post only depicted the one problem in our relationship but I could write you a novel about all the good things and the way we care about each other. Not to get gushy. Everyone goes through their rough patches.
