21 Thoughts I Had Watching My Boyfriend Play 'Fortnite,' All Night

You’re running really fast for a guy wearing an astronaut costume and carrying an axe. You must be in really good shape... in the game.

21 Thoughts I Had Watching My Boyfriend Play 'Fortnite,' All Night
Isabel Barganier

You've probably heard of "Fortnite," especially if you have a boyfriend. This video game craze is taking over guy's lives and quickly becoming their new favorite activity. I don't quite understand it, but it's definitely intriguing.

This is what goes through my head when I watch my boyfriend play it.

1. Is floating to the island via a school bus really the best way to get there?

I'm getting some definite "Magic School Bus" vibes.

2. How do you know where to go?

This random island has an impressive amount of choices. I bet it's tough to choose between Lonely Lodge, Dusty Depot, Greasy Grove and Moisty Mire.

3. Your friends insult you ruthlessly when you die! How are y'all are still cool the next day??? I know I'm sensitive, but I would have a much harder time brushing that off.

4. Dude. Throwing the controller is not going to do anything. You can't break another one.

5. What does it mean to “catch a dub”?

6. You’re running really fast for a guy wearing an astronaut costume and carrying an axe. You must be in really good shape... in the game.

7. And you just took down an entire building with that axe. An ENTIRE BUILDING.

8. You complain about not having enough time for homework and studying... But I have a feeling this is how you're spending most of that time.

9. I’ve literally never seen you take something so seriously. Your eyes haven't shifted from the screen in 10 minutes. Nothing I say or do could distract you right now, and honestly, I'm scared to try.

10. How can you tell your friends the EXACT location of the enemy, but you can’t even begin to explain your feelings to me? ;) This is good practice for you!

11. This is basically the cartoon version of "The Hunger Games." I'm just waiting for Katniss and Peeta to show up!

12. You look like you should be flying a plane with the headset you’re wearing. "Attention passengers: it's going to be a bumpy descent into Dusty Depot. Make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened."

13. You keep screaming at the TV. I promise, they can’t hear you... but your roommates sure can.

14. Why did you spend ten dollars on a costume that you can’t wear in real life? How important is your outfit in the game?

Don't get me wrong, the astronaut look is a 10/10... I'm just curious.

15. How about we use that money to go on date? What do you think? That could get us 2 burgers, a quesadilla, drinks, fries and a corn dog at Cook Out.

16. I think you talk to your friends more on the game than you do in person.

17. *Thinks the chick on the game is prettier than me*

18. I'm seeing some unrealistic body standards... Should I be lifting weights more?

That chick is totally killing it this round.

19. The level of excitement you reach when you win is UNREAL. You're so ecstatic and of course have to throw a picture up on your Ssnapchat story so EVERYONE knows.

I'm happy for you, but what can I do to match the Fortnite excitement?

20. I can’t even imagine how bad I would be at this. I would get laughed off the island if I tried to play. Should I start practicing without him knowing?

21. Wait. Why am I watching this...?

No hate towards Fortnite at all because I can understand why it’s addicting for people that play. Although I wish my boyfriend wasn't so addicted, let’s let our guys have their fun while it lasts. :)

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
