    Yes! I agree. I can ignore my wife much better while playing a video game versus watching TV. :-)

    I would like to put on record in this public forum that I would never ignore my wife whether I was playing a game or watching TV. :-)

    Games, especially fast paced ones, are great for allowing you to forget just about everything. A really good book does the same for me as well.

    I, also for the record, would never ignore my wife. I may not "hear" her, but I don't ignore :thumbup2:
