My games are my me time, I'd rather change the locks than share that with somebody

Would you recommend Spider-Man 2?

I don't care as long as they don't outright hate me playing games or prevent me from doing so.

We have a level of separation, our own "territories", like having different hobbies, though its the same hobby "gaming".

I don't tolerate mini dictatorship in a relationship; there will be no negotiation for what I can do during my free-time. I would be gone quicker than a heart beat in the moment the relationship started to become unreasonable.

I will have my share of violent video games, or else!

When people come to my home they don't come here to rot in front of a screen.

I disagree. If a little video game is going to cause a schism in the relationship, it wasn't a very strong bond in the first place. If anything, playing games together should be a bond strengthening activity, even if we're pitted up against each-other. What's the point in playing a game if not to have fun? Maybe just keep proper etiquette in mind regarding being a gracious winner and not being a sore loser.
