Are you having trouble with your wife because you spend too much time making levels?

Why do wives usually hate Lara Croft?

Would it be the same if we were playing with Indiana Jones?

My mom doesn't hate Lara. She thinks that her features are way overexxagerated but my dad and brother who play tomb raider are very sensible people.

As a future wife whose fiancé has promised to make a level for me I can honestly say that I won't be one of those "wives who hate Lara Croft"!

I don't think that women hate Lara, it's just the thought of their men playing for such a long time on the computer! I mean you could mess about on the PC all night with TRLE couldn't you? Plus the fact that Lara is every man's ideal woman (if she were real that is!) adn it's a bit of competition!

Well, my girlfriend likes to play TR! She says it "motivates her to become more active", but I think she like it cause she likes solving puzzles.

My mum hates her because she finds it annoying how I spend too much time playing that game and not studying.

My mom says lara is 'TOO SEDUCTIVE' and implies that lara would want me to come over to her house for a 'party'.

That´s what I mean.

Would we have so much problems if it was Indiana Jones or other game?

Would they be that jealous with a non woman related game?

I don't think my wife hates Lara, but she can't believe that 5 years of me playing Tomb Raider games that i'm still at it, and not only that , i'm spending hours with the editor!

I reckon it's about time she had a go at it , she don't know what she's missing!
