"I need your help now, can't you just pause this game?"

Surge06··76 votes·3,812 views

Most of my family don't play video games much, let alone online multiplayer games. And often they need my help with stuff on their own devices. but sometimes they don't ask for my help until I start a game of League of Legends. One time I was pulled from a game because they needed my help to copy and paste a link on their phones.

Part of me is happy to help. Another part of me went: https://media.giphy.com/media/m11WXGfYcgtFu/giphy.gif

"Okay but tell me why exactly the trash can't wait another 30 minutes?"

Because then the garbage fairy comes and steals you and cooks you. That's what my parents told me.

Because taking out the garbage is a crisis of global proportions.

If the trash is not taken out in the next 2 minutes, the whole internet will crash, giant meteor the size of Mexico will smash into us, zombies will appear from Call of Duty, all the nuclear warheads will launch on Skynet's command, Hillary wins the 2016 election and immediately declares herself ruler of the world, earth becomes a battleground between heaven and hell, and Super Mario would find the princess in the first castle.

No wonder my internet always gets shut off when I don't do it. Here I thought it was just my disgruntled mom :P

My girlfriend used to do this to me. Til I made her play a game of League. Now she knows better lol. (she hates video games you can imagine how a full game of League went)

crippler3810 votes

my girlfriend hates league to the point of not talking to me for at least 2 hours every time she catches me playing, this includes looking me up on lolking.

Drugoth13 votes

Wow, that's pretty extreme.

crippler385 votes

for some context we're long distance and when we were first dating about 4 years ago we only talked through video games, I stopped playing the game we were playing together to play league with my friend (he was a guy but was telling everyone he was a girl, so she prolly was a little jelly) so not 4 years later she hates league and refuses to let me play it for literally no reason besides she hates it.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH OTHER MOBAS OR DOING OTHER SIMILAR THINGS

That's pretty controlling.

crippler382 votes

pretty kinky too if ya know what I mean

LA Losty12 votes

Hmmm no its not, its just controlling and she shouldnt decide what games you can and cant play, you should talk to her about it, doesnt seem like a healthy relationship if playing a specifik video game is such a big deal.

BLACK REALM GOD2 votes

yeah, relationships should not be about controlling others. that's why i play the sims. so i can burn people alive in my spare time. tell them they cant use the bathroom even though they're begging to go trying to hold it in in front of their friends and family then im just like "serves you right for cheating on your mom with your cousin you sk**k. NOW MAKE ME A BABY BEFORE YOU DIE"

LA Losty1 votes

I remember when i played the sims 2 on the playstation 2 with my friend years ago, we would build a giant maze, call the cops and run around and there for as long as possible, it was great fun :P

You are living the dream. Never stop playing. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

dude that is an abusive relationship. you should get out. I am not even joking, she should support your hobbies and what makes you happy as long as you aren't obsessed with it.

ThePikol7 votes

Tell them to wait. It's not difficult. I don't think your whole family is right at your service when you ask them to do some trivial thing.

IGotScuttleCrabs3 votes

Wait till you queue up, get in champ select and realize you gotta shit. Pick that champ, run into the bathroom and sit down only to find there's no tp. Then when youre calling for some they say "well just wait 45 minutes like you made me wait earlier".

ThePikol2 votes

No tp is an emergency! No one make someone else wait for tp. But copy-paste a link can or trash can wait

SanKakU9 votes

I've never understood the practice of not stashing all the toilet paper in the same room as the toilet. It makes absolutely no sense but this is what my mother did.

IGotScuttleCrabs3 votes

I have 2 bathrooms. Sometimes 1 runs out and I have to ask my gf to get some from the other bathroom.

Also why'd I get so down voted XD

LordGeovanni1 votes

its generally so if the toilet breaks you dont ruin the tissue everything else can wash what i dont get is not being able to walk around you house with you pants around your ankles

RainbowIcee1 votes

While you make an excellent point, they will fight about it. Your hobbies are simply not making money for them to stfu. I know our society defends parents and that they know better than their kids but in reality most of them only had us so we can spend most of our lives serving them. Thank god for nursing homes, I in no way in hell would take care of my mother's grumpy ass for the next 30 so years till she kicks the bucket. Cursed out my fiance because she doesn't come from a more privileged family. wtf kinda shit is that.

Warcraft III had pause in multiplayer which was nice. The pauses were limited per player though.

/pause :^)

( only works in customs though as far as I know ;x )

GerAvos1 votes

Can you get penalized for going afk during a pause?

Jonxx2 votes

No, you can't get any penalty for being afk in custom in the first place.

GerAvos1 votes

not sure about that. pretty sure I got afk warnings in customs before

Dr Poro2 votes

You get the warning even if you're the only player in the room. Who the fuck will report you?

LifaFreeze2 votes

The minions for AFKing and not trying to help them win.

Jonxx1 votes

Yes, and it will kick you from the game, if you afk for too long, but leaverbuster won't penalize you, even if there are other people in the game.

And yes, I'm sure, I've played hundreds of custom games, when you could still use dominion map, and I often afked, in certain custom gamemode, when I was out.

Jonxx1 votes

Only works in Tournament Draft customs. :)

this is me literally every time I play league (and Dark Souls)

Busty Demoness1 votes

Except Dark Souls allows you to finish a fight and leave, rather than locking you in until you've completed the game.

INB4 next darksouls game can't be turned off or character gets deleted.

Hardcore Dark Souls:

You die once, game over forever. Your console can never play the game again and you cannot delete the data marking it as such. Souls required for each level halved and cap doubled.

Jonxx2 votes

Just take your time one day, and explain it to your family, most people will understand if you simply talk about it. Worked pretty fine for me.

Apollogy2 votes

Yeah... people don't understand that if you leave the game, it's not just your time you're losing out on, 9 other people somewhere in the world are having their time wasted because something that definitely can wait half an hour to an hour is being requested to be done asap...

-_-

Hrkk Ptoo2 votes

Common saying in my house hold is "The next time you die I need your help." For the people who use the excuse that they have to go for supper (I know I have) I take proactive steps in knowing when supper will be ready and not to start a game of league. Take some responsibility, I know its just a game but games aren't fun when your team leaves because they have to take the garbage out.

LordGeovanni2 votes

call them when they on the high way and tell them they got 3 mins to have the macaroni done

DJ MonkeyPunch1 votes

I was once in a ranked game with a friend, and my sister called me on the phone that she was stranded on the highway with a flat. I told my dad so I can keep playing but he wanted me to go help him. My words to him were "My team needs me, I can't leave them hanging." We lost that game. I probably should have went with him.

Just last night, my baby sister was driving to the airport to pick up my other sister... aaand of course had to get lost and call me for directions while I'm in the middle of an intense game.

I love you, Cheesecake, but you need to get yourself a smartphone.
