Black Ops 2 has taken the Big Guy hostage. It’s true Call of Duty has once again stolen my husband. It’s officially November because I am a Black Ops 2 widow.

My husband plays Call of Duty online, with my brothers, the brothers-in-law and his brother. They have a clan and kill zombies in their spare-time. Sounds funny when I say it out loud. Sounds like they all might have a problem.
Hi, my name is Debi and my husband is playing Black Ops 2, as we speak.

The Big Guy bought Back Ops 2 a couple months ago ( yeah, he is like a blogger with her outfits for a conference in August) but last night at midnight, he and my little brother headed to the nearest Game Stop to pick up their games and wait in the freezing cold along with all the other teenagers. He was very excited about this new game, so much so that he actually used a vacation day to be able to stay up all night killing zombies. Sounds crazy, right?
I guess I’d be concerned if I weren’t already consoling myself with the fact that if playing video games with my brothers and eating Doritos and drinking Coke all night long is the worst thing he does, I am pretty freaking lucky. I can deal with being a Black Ops 2 widow for a few hours ( 13 hours and 22 minutes at last count). He’s not slept in 32 hours now.

If our children are any indication, he should start to get cranky, slap happy and then pass out where he sits in 5, 4, 3, 2…..
I know I am not the only wife whose husband does this, were you abandoned last night? Maybe we should start a Black Ops 2 widow support group, in which we spend the free time painting our toenails and drinking mimosas?

Are you a Black Ops 2 widow?

I’m just a video game widow in general. Most recently “The Sims 3” and “Batman: Arkham City”. It could be worse, I suppose. At least he’s home and I know where he is! He doesn’t understand why I don’t play. I keep telling him Tetris and Scrabble are the only things that are really my speed. 🙂
LOL! I don;t have the hand eye coordination for video games and ,to be honest, they make me kind of nauseated to watch. At least our guys are at home, playing video games instead of out running the streets. It gives them a way to decompress and beat the stress. I’m good with it. I just wish he’d get some damn sleep.:)
I hate these games for this very reason. David gets so absorbed in them, and it drives me insane to sit and listen to them play.
I’m not a Black Ops 2 widow… but there is a certain computer game that seems to have my husband mesmerized! lol The only time I really mind it is when I’m struggling to clean or take the 15th load of laundry outside to the garage… while he stares transfixed at the computer screen….
Easily, the post is really the greatest on this laudable topic. I concur with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your future updates. Saying cheers will not just be sufficient, for the brilliant c lucidity in your writing. I will instantly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Solid work and much success in your business enterprise!
Thankfully I’m not alone in widowhood to the clan ops. I wish it never existed – worst thing invented. It has stolen my husband 24/7 to his study. I may as well not live in the same house for the little I see of him. I guess I’ll have to start being selfish too!
After hearing so many complaints about husbands playing video games, i think i will leave all of my video game habits far behind when i’m married someday. Maybe i’m gonna go with mobile games like tablet or smartphone games. It’ll still be fun to play though. 🙂
[…] or my husband has a big project due, we all recognize that he might need a little more time to play Call of Duty and kill some zombies to decompress so I ask him to do less around the house during that time. […]
