Video games are fun for many, but for girls who aren't interested in them and have boyfriends who are, they can be pretty problematic. When guys are given a controller, it's like they get sucked in, sometimes for hours at a time, seemingly forgetting about everything around them.

What kind of relationship would it be though if we didn't periodically pester them?
