My wife comes from a super conservative farm family, so video gaming is "frowned upon". Needless to say - around them I'm a closet gamer. She plays games, but she also doesn't really mention that to her family.
Also, she's not an MMO / EQ fan, so that's sometimes touchy too.
Back when we were engaged and we'd visit her parents (3 hours away from home) we'd stay the night, but her parents made us sleep in separate rooms.
I used to sneak my laptop into my overnight bag, and when everyone went to bed I'd stay up in my own room and play an EQ Emu game (not p1999) until the early hours of the morning.
My room was on the way to the bathroom so I'd have to be diligent to close the laptop lid if someone walked by so they didn't see the glow through the frosted window in the door.... not that they would have really cared, I just didn't feel like explaining.
