The games I play rarely get much of a reaction from my wife. Since I game on a handheld most of the time, unless I play it with her, she doesn’t know what I’m into at the time. Usually attempts to explain the plots to games go nowhere. She’s just happy if I stick to a new game for a few weeks before growing bored with it.

The game I get the most reaction out of when she watches me play is Resident Evil 4. This is mostly because of the Merchant character. Whenever I play, she’ll come in and repeat the overly gruff and ridiculous merchant character’s lines. In fact, I make it a point to visit the merchant just because she cracks me up every time she does this.

Today, she doing her bead art on the couch while I was playing through a tough part of the game. I’d get trapped by some cultists, or would blast the heads off a chainsaw wielding maniac, but she didn’t pay much attention. I’d get killed, and she’d laugh.

She likes to root against me to get me riled up. But when she saw me visit the Merchant, she got ready for her lines. I don’t know what it is about that character. I really like Resident Evil 4, but I wish she enjoyed watching me play other stuff as much.
