You will serve me in The Netherrealm
Well. When I realized that me and the missus were getting serious...I had to sit her down and have a chat. I explained to her my passion for fighting games, my obsession with competition, and my legit desire to be a better player. I explained that to achieve this, I would have to spend a lot of time doing it. With that said, I also explained to her that I didn't expect her to just sit around while I ground out matches all day.
You kind of have to do a give and take sort of thing. Like...I'll watch four episodes of Charmed in a row because she likes it, and in exchange she'll read or play on Facebook while I grind matches for a few hours. Also, I stay up after she's asleep and get practice time in so that our together time isn't interrupted.
But you want to know about how to get her into it. The simplest answer I can give you is to communicate with her. Tell her WHY you like it so much, and why you'd like her to give it a try. My girl isn't a hardcore fighting game player, but as soon as she saw what Sindel looked like in MK9, that's who she played. She kind of just hit buttons, but I was fine with that. I showed her some more technical stuff and only introduced more as she showed interest in such.
Now...outside of fighting games...I did manage to get her to try Bioshock Infinite. She LOVES that game. Not so much with the first Bioshock(which puzzles me because Bioshock > Bioshock Infinite), but she enjoyed the experience. When it comes to tournies and such....she does attend when I go. Mostly because she wants to cheer me on, but if ever I'm at an event and she's bored, I ask her if there are any book stores or places of interest around that she'd like to go and just let her go. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you need to communicate with her and see how things go.
Damn. I sure do tangent a lot.
