Yup, but that's how it goes 1 couple gets married once for life and they are counted once. Someone gets married / divorced 5 times and they get counted 5 times. I read somewhere that something like 52% (slightly more than half) of ALL marriages end up in divorce but 66% of FIRST marriages don't*. I don't have a link or anything to back that up on hand, but it sounds reasonable to me.

Note: "Doesn't end in divorce" =/= successful marriage, nor even "till death do you part". I have a neighbor in his 70's that is still married, but has been living apart and completely uninvolved in his wife's life for going on 25 years now. They went their separate ways, never looked back but neither "believed in divorce" so they never did it officially.

Combining EVERYTHING is a sure fire way to not only lose yourself, but also lose what that other person was attracted to. IMO life needs a careful balance of:

1) "Family time" - you + her + kids or extended family (parents, cousins, etc...)

2) "Couple time" - time when it's just you and her.

3) "Alone time" - when you both are completely separated and "do your own thing".

There are certain things that we each like that the other doesn't (or doesn't to the same degree). She HATES the cold and I love to ski... doesn't mean I have to give up skiing, I just don't take her with me when I go. Every so often one of us stays home with our son and the other goes out for a "guys night out / girls night out" and I honestly feel we are both the better for it. Being with someone means combining and sharing a multitude of things, but you don't have to lose yourself in the process.

Might wanna start that now. Seriously, if it's "mostly his games anyway", why not make a separate one for you ?

Maybe they're "re-doing" their parent's basement.

I agree, but apparently that's what the market WANTS. Look at the Metacritic score on "Bioshock" , not only was it commercially successful, it was critically hailed but it is a Pretty yet PAINFULLY shallow game that was broken in play balancing. On the hardest difficulty you can march forward mashing the R trigger until you won. Why? Because the developers felt that you NEEDED to be able to experience the whole narrative rather than playing a game. After beating it on hard I half expect the controls for "Easy" to look like a DVD remote. "Press Play to watch the cut-scenes and Win" . Saddly, that appears to be what people want. :(

I agree. I have a 720p projector and when this bulb goes, I'm gonna get a new 1080p projector. The only way I'm getting a 3D one is if it comes included with other features I want like higher contrast & bulb life. I'm FAR more interested in a 21:9 projector than I ever would be for a 3D one.

Schrödinger's Music ?

The REAL Irony to him getting satisfaction that the V is being used in protests, is that most people would not of even known of his work if not for the movie (which he didn't want made). Sure there were plenty of comic book fans that were well aware of Alan's work, but not as many outside the medium. Not for the last 20-ish years (Same with Watchmen).

Yeah, pretty much. Steam Sells "4 packs" of a lot of multiplayer games where you can buy 3 copies and get 1 free. This is especially awesome when that game goes on sale. For Example this Christmas Left 4 Dead 2 was 75% off so you could either buy the game for $5 instead of $20, or a 4 pack for $15 and gift the rest. Of course once activated you can't trade /loan/ re-gift a steam game but given the price I'm ok with that.

Don't forget the problem of them only having 1 data-center.
