Got game?

While perusing the magazines at Barnes & Noble, Shelly found this bit of divine snark affixed to the latest XBOX magazine.

Keep Reading You still will be single. - God

Haterz still will hate, I guess?

      Reading? The town/almost city in Berkshire, England? Where am I expected to keep something like that?

      Maybe it is referring to Reading Railroad, the Monopoly card. Pass over the first color group, but you buy and keep that Reading if want to win the game. They’ll just have passed Go and collected $200, plus the odds of landing on it are good, so it’s steady money. Get all four and you’ll bleed the other players dry in no time.

    Dear God(dess): I’m married. Does that mean I can’t also have a game console? I need a ruling asap!

      Only that you can’t have an Xbox. A PS3 is no problem.

      Exactly. I’m a female gamer and married to a video game programmer & gamer so yeah… not true at all. AND we both love reading and have a library room with 1000+ books.

    Well, there may be something to this. I’m nearly 40 and adore my Xbox. It does what I ask it to, doesn’t make a mess, never complains that I’m not turning it on, and when I’m bored with it, it shuts up and goes away. It’s the perfect husband!

      But does the Xbox provide you with sexual gratification, or do you have to fake orgasms to make it feel like a real gaming console?

    This sounds like the impulsive work of a deeply embittered ex-girlfriend.

    I always had an inkling that Post-it notes were sacred artifacts. Even God uses them!

    I don’t find the humor in this one, kinda makes you wonder who thought it would be “hilarious”. Put a post it note on them saying “Do onto others, as others would do onto you.” Get right or gtfo

    Try harder, note writer. In my anecdotal experience… almost every gamer I know is either married or in a long-term relationship.

    My husband and I love our xbox. We don’t buy magazines though. Waste of paper.

    Those straight female gamers? Totally mythical.

    No woman in her right mind would ever pick up a game controller or install a game on her computer, and if she did, she certainly wouldn’t be interested in dating someone with similar interests.

    Now if you excuse me, my husband and I have a date to conquer the Republic and kill some Jedi on SWTOR.

      Right. The straight ones just play Farmville.

      Oh god, SWTOR owns my life right now. Most Bioware games tend to do that, though.

      Says the straight, female gamer who pulled 36 hours straight on Dragon Age: Origins. And 24 on ME2. And 8 on Skyrim before the boyfriend kicked her off.

      I actually stayed up for three days straight after I got Dragon Age Origins. That game changed my life.

      Haha, mine too. I totally didn’t get the xbox obsession before that. I get it now.

    God owns Nintendo stock.

    I had to resort to a hand-scrawled note–those gamers never noticed when I wrote the same thing in the heavens using columns of fire.

    They won’t come out of their me-damned basements for anything but Mountain Dew and new releases of HALO.

    Straight female here. I love WoW and am getting Skyrim for my birthday next week. When I turn 44. My 36yo boyfriend plays Battlefield 3.

    I guess I should tell my 61-year-old parents that they are single now. They bought a Wii two years ago and use it every day.

    Burn/grammar fail. Better luck next time God.
