Ohhh... that is cool. Thank you for sharing. :)

My wife—who was my girlfriend at the time of this story—and I have always gamed, mostly on the Nintendo side of things. Only once has it resulted in an injury.

I guess I’ll actually contribute to this one.

This is the best thing I read all day

My fiance and I used to enjoy Zelda - A Link to the Past together (as well as NES speedrun videos) on and off throughout high school. She had never seen the ending though, so when we got together after high school we promised we would complete the game together. I sneakily modified the ending to be my proposal, and…

First girlfriend in highschool. We both grew up with an N64 as our primary console. I went over/was invited over to help her get past Jabu Jabu’s Belly level in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
I hadn’t played it in several years, so my memory was fuzzy on one of the puzzles (carrying Ruto).
She chose that moment…

That’s a great story. It deserves to be selected for the roundup. I’m only sorry it was such a pain in the ass the emmigrate from Canada. Here’s to your many happy years of marriage and many more! *finishes beer*

My husband and I basically cemented our relationship in the arcade of our college’s student center. During my junior year, I basically hid from my ex and his new gf (who lived in the same dorm/on the same floor/same section as I) in the arcade, haunting it at odd hours, anything to keep from returning to my dorm and…

Well, mine is rather recent, I’ve known a girl for quite some time, but only recently did we start seeing each other more often, like every other weekend during pretty much the whole year. I ussually have friends over to play games and at some point she started playign with us, even joined our D&D party and was really…

I was in middle school, at that time, our school had these club-like gatherings, and the most popular was the “video game club.” I was like the vice-president, only second to the teacher, and I would bring my 64 and Wii.

I met her because she was the only one standing still, toward the back, not saying anything, not…

There is one story I used for all the speeches I was asked to give around my engagement party/wedding. People asked me when I knew she was ‘the one’. My wife and I had been friends in High School and after a couple shaky attempts at dating, I had given up on it happening and was content to just be friends with her.…

A long time ago (in 2001 to be exact) I was reading an online comic that talked a lot about a game called Ultima Online. I’d never played an MMORPG before, so the whole thing sounded weird and intriguing, and I ran out and bought a copy, encouraging an online friend of mine to do the same. We had a pretty good time…

I got my girlfriend into Splatoon a bit, and when it came to Splatfests (a popularity contest in which the winner is decided by votes + games won), she said she’d always vote the opposite of what I chose as it is her purpose to undo all that I work for in life. She’s a good person.

Not sure if this counts since it’s more of a breakup story...

My girlfriend at the time wanted to spend more time together, but LoZ Skyward Sword and Mass Effect III had come out around the same time, so I drug my tower out into the living room to play on the TV, and I brought out the big screen from the room so she could play LoZ on it out there with me.

Mine is the reason I’m pissed at 343 for not putting Split-Screen in Halo 5.

A new documentary series by one-time Kotaku contributor Latoya Peterson asks women who calls themselves “gamer” why they do so. Girl Gamers explores the way that female players and game-makers deal with how to describe themselves and the perceptions of others.
