CheapyD ties the knot.

[snotknocker]

Our illustrious leader recently revealed he has decided to take the plunge.
I feel it is our duty to him to muster up some good advice.

I'll start by saying, ALWAYS lift the seat and never leave your dirty undies on the bathroom floor.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Congrats on your new marriage, and all the wish and the luck in the world to you and your new wife cheapy.
live long and prosper!

[carlagyrl]

congrats!!

Mah-wedge. Mahwedge...is what bwings us...togedda...

Timeless words. Not very useful words, though. Let's hope that the people offering advice are themselves married already (looks around to see if anybody heard that.) Since I am not, I'll keep mum and just add my wishes for a beautiful wedding and many happy years to the new couple. May you have a station wagon full of kids to support you in your old age.

[maxflight]

congratulations cheapyd =)

[Squirms]

Two words that have made my life alot easier since I got married: "Yes Dear" You may some day be tempted to use another phrase if you think you are right, but don't to it or you'll be sleeping on the couch.

[guessed]

Keep the dress.

Princess Bride references is what makes the world go around and makes everyone remember Andre the Giant.

[MaxBiaggi3]

As a number of people have said recently, you might as well be as miserable as the rest of us. Welcome to the rest of your life.

[Gothic Walrus]

I'm only a teenager, but the best advice I can think of...

NEVER let your gaming get into the way of your marriage. If she's the one, she's far more important than time with your games.

Then again, I'm just seventeen...what do I know? :D

[EggViper]

well like gothic walrus i'm only 17 and so cant give any advice on marriage.... but congratulations!

[CheapyD]

NEVER let your gaming get into the way of your marriage. If she's the one, she's far more important than time with your games.

I don't think that's going to be a problem.
I've gotten complaints from her that I'm not playing enough games!

[Mr. Anderson]

NEVER let your gaming get into the way of your marriage. If she's the one, she's far more important than time with your games.

That's an intresting remark coming from a gamer. I think you should get married to someone who COMPLETLY understands you. So if your a super duper hardcore gamer who plays games 24/7, maybe your partner should be to, dont' ya think? That's one marriage that would last forever, I guarantee you that.

Kidding! Best of luck to you though Cheapy. :D

I love my wife with all my heart (including the game-loving part!), but i wish she'd say things like the above to me!!! While i don't ever let gaming take up time that she would rather spend together, I do hear things like, "All you did tonight was play games? The house is a wreck," and "Oh, you're on that damn cheap-whatever site again..."

But its all worth it!

So, congrats to his royal cheapness, and may there be many many "yes, dear's" in his future!

[ZForce915]

Congrats CheapyD. I have no advice at this point, but I tie the knot on October 2nd. So I'll be coming to you later... :D

Eh...what can I say? Some things are more important than gaming.

Never mind then...you lucky bastard. :D

Say cow did you ever buy the Xbox you were so afraid would alienate you from your wife? Or don't you wanna go there?

[kaoticeyes]

Crongrats man. My advice to you is set up 2 TV next to each other, that way you can play games on one and she can watch TV on the other. Works out great for me....also invest in a good set of headphones :D

[chickenhawk]

Congratulations!! You're getting enough advice from everyone else so I'll just send my good wishes. You'll figure it out as you go. Everyone's different, so advice isn't always relevant or even necessary. All the best!!!!!

[paz9x]

Crongrats man. My advice to you is set up 2 TV next to each other, that way you can play games on one and she can watch TV on the other. Works out great for me....also invest in a good set of headphones :D

for sure, its a godsend.

[Medium_Pimpin]

You need a cheapass prenuptual agreement.

You spent all that time ammassing a collection of cheapass games and if she leaves, she gets half of them.... not cool.

[paean]

At least he is on the right track... buying only cheapie games! Congrats CheapyD!!!

[snotknocker]

This is not really advice. It's more of like an excerpt from the unofficial book of snotknocker proverbs.

Good head equals happy husband :D

Interpret as you will

[Mr_hockey66]

Heres is my advice!

You know all of those great hours you spent on this site and gaming? Well guess hwat they are gone!

It was great posting here! Maybe we'll all see each other on some other game board! CAg you were a good place. You will be missed!

Oh yeah Congrats my friend. Hope all goes well. Keep us posted.

[organicow]

Say cow did you ever buy the Xbox you were so afraid would alienate you from your wife? Or don't you wanna go there?

First off, Fuck off, smart ass. Just kidding. :D

Secondly, YES!! Regardless of how pointless my poll thread was....and it WAS pointless, i admit....I traded in some old games at FYE for $9 each, sold some old shit I had lying around on Ebay, and bought the XB at FYE for $102 + tax after the trade ins and rebate!

The wife was totally cool with it (though she did make fun of me and call me a nerd... :oops: ), and even helped me do two separate BB GGC transactions for XB games the next day. What a trooper!!

Cool wives are great: game time, BJs (occasionally...), cooking, poon-tang, etc. What a deal!!!

[ayolykewhoa]

Don't be TOO cheap, dammit!

[shadd01]

Congrats cheapyd! way to go, i wish you the best of luck and hope this doesnt hinder you ability to keep such a great site running, but i would understand if it does.
--Shadd

ps are any other CAG's invited to the wedding? that would be awesome

[magilacudy]

Congrats... but anyone else notice that Cheapy didn't start this thread? I believe they're getting married in a couple of months though. Cherish the few months of freedom you still have left! Good luck.

PS... you've got to post some of the pics of the ceremony, or at least some of your blushing bride in your gallery. :)

[alongx]

In the wise phrases of Married...with Children:

Bud: But all my friends are driving already...
Al: If all of your friends were getting married, would you do it too?
Bud: Of course not.

[Alpha2]

Make sure people dont get you cheap ass wedding gifts! Demand top dollar!

will we be seeing cheap ass wedding paraphenalia on the deals page?

[video_gamer324]

Ricky, age 10, gives the following advice:

Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.

You won't have to worry about that second part, I'm sure. ;)

[MorganWebbLover]

I just have one word of advice Run !

[organicow]

I just have one word of advice Run !

would you RUN from MW??

methinks not....

[cmndrhavok]

Crongrats man. My advice to you is set up 2 TV next to each other, that way you can play games on one and she can watch TV on the other. Works out great for me....also invest in a good set of headphones :D

Or you can play games like Time Crisis 2 or 3. ;)

Congrats to you and your bride to be , Cheapy D.

And thats cool for some people. I bet you and your gf love each other very much, and shes very understanding of your addiction. But say if you were partnered with a great girl, but she was always complaining about your video game craze. Wouldn't it just be better to find a partner that understands that you need to stay up until 2 AM to play Metroid Prime?

Yes. I would choke her (er, perhaps she would be the one choking me). That is to say, I couldn't live with someone who didn't understand.

[msdmoney]

Did you get her a cheapassring?

She's a keeper. I used to have a girl who called video games stupid, needless to say she got the boot. Nothing better than a girl who actually understands the hobby or better yet encourages it.

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

***Buys CheapyD a set of wine goblets***

When i got married about 2 1/2 yrs ago lots of people bought us alcohol. (wine mostly) so i guess they're tring to say the secret to a good marriage is to be drunk all the time.

[chosen1s]

Never go to bed angry at each other.
Make God's purpose for your lives the center of your marriage.

My honest advice

[snotknocker]

Never go to bed angry at each other.
Make God's purpose for your lives the center of your marriage.

My honest advice

I could not agree more.

Maybe we are getting serious here so I'll switch to serious mode.

Never try to rationalize why women think the way they do. You will never totally understand and it will drive you nuts.

Many women are forgiving when you screw up. Their anger or disappointment may fester a while but if they love you eventually they will forgive you. OR NOT! This forgivness thing in my opinion is a facade. When you mess up it's like you're giving her a brick and she's building a wall. Sooner or later she'll take that brick and throw it back at you for whatever reason. Most women just can really not forgive and forget. I can't explain it. Nor do I care to even try (again never try to rationalize why women think the way they do). I'm happily married ... my wife is definately my best friend (big big plus). But I know that my past screwups will eventually come back to haunt me in one way or
another. So it is wise if you screw up as little as possible. After 2 or 3 hits in the head with a brick you'll know wher I'm coming from.

Can any of you other married CAG's vouch for my opinion?

I feel your pain. I play when she is stuck at work, away on business or late on weekend nights.

Which when mixed with Scotch doesn't lead to the best of scores.

Congrats CheapyD it is well worth it.

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

come on people, i know we're a bunch of cheap asses, but are you all heartless bastards too???

now congragulate the man!!!!


.....or give your condolences.

[Amanda the Red Mage]

Didn't see this thread until now because I've been busy with finals.

Congratulations!!! :)

[D4rkewolfe]

Crongrats man. My advice to you is set up 2 TV next to each other, that way you can play games on one and she can watch TV on the other. Works out great for me....also invest in a good set of headphones :D
That's my set-up actually....3 tvs....one for gaming, one for when she is watching tv, and if I want to watch another show besides the one she is seeing, then the other ones come on. The third one is just the Intec XBox screen, it still looks alright, but we both want to watch the same thing anyways, so it's all good.

So as kaoticeyes said "Crongrats" and as LaraCroftsLeftBoob (see they do have a life of their own) I gave my "congragulation" to you Cheapy. One thing though, you should get her to post more. I mean only 5 posts? Does she not care about us? :cry:

[XboxMaster]

"Oh, you're on that damn cheap-whatever site again..."

Anyway, I'm only 13, so I can't really give you any advice. But I can say: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

[KingDox]

10 days ? Well my only advice is when some thing goes wrong at the wedding (something always does). Don't get angry and don't let your fiance freak out. Just because one thing doesn't go perfectly acording to plan it isn't the end of the world. People are going to remember the 90% of the stuff that worked and not the 10% that didn't.

"If you're not building up, you're tearing down." Pretty much applies to everything you say or do with regards to your spouse.

Hiya,

...what the heck, Cheapy? This is a TERRIBLE deal! Someone lock this stupid thread.

Gratz and all -- but what matters the most is not all of these congratulations that you receive, but your marriage, instead... so rather than applauding you, I'll let the marriage do the talkin. :P

Goddamnit, CheapyD, stop farking your new wife and find us some good deals!

Priorities, man, priorities.

[gilbrod]

Well, this'll be my first post. But as a hard core gamer, and husband of 2 years with a future gamer on the way, just know that your games were there first before your wife. Never forget to green up a few times a week with your buddies you will not see for a while. And let your wife win in some games once in a while. Letting my Mrs win at Mario Party 5 sometimes brings about some wonderful rewards. Enjoy and g'luck. May the schwartz be with you!

[stealthshadow]

Congratulations cheapy, I got a lot of help from all of this advice you've been getting :). See you when you return, oh and I hope you don't miss out on the Circuit City sale.

Just a tip for the future: selective deafness. It will get you out of a lot of things. :)
