stupid, yes...mad,yes my fault,yes

sit down with him and ask him to set an alarm when it goes off so does the gaming.

Pitch a god awful fit! My husband is a hard core gamer. He would play video games 24/7 if I let him, but I don't. Now, I would never dream of taking the thing away completely, that just seems extreme, but he knows when it's time for business, but we've been playing this game for the last 5 years and we both know the rules. This gaming is new for you. I think you need to have a serious talk and tell him exactly what's expected of him. If his responsibilities haven't changed, tell him exactly that, "Games are fun and all but you're supposed to be doing this and this and the other thing!" It takes a lot of work to be married to a gamer, it really does. Probably just as much work as it takes to be married to a workaholic or an alcoholic or anything like that that takes huge swaths of times, but it can work.

I would however have woken him up to get the baby since that was your agreement. You choose not to wake him up so that was your choice. It was his choice to play the game knowing that he still had to get up with the baby. If he didn't wake up when the baby cried I would have woken him up and gone back to sleep. If he was exhausted in the morning next time he won't stay up so late.
