Arcade Spousal Abuse

Fat_Trucker:

I come somewhere between the two.

The wife tends to nag incessantly, and I simply switch into 'wife mode' where my brain actually filters most of what she is saying into unintelligble background noise with little or no effort on my part.

AlanS17:

I've got no significant other, but I do have a roomate - my brother. Technically I rent from him. So I pretty much have to have permission any time I want to bring something home. However, the garage is 100% full and I'd never get a machine up the stairs without his help.

LPZ:

Believe or not, my wife bugged me about a 4 way joystick for eternity.....(I had 8 ways mounted)......All she wanted to play was ms. pac  I installed a switchable 4/8 way from ultimarc and now everyone is happy!

AlanS17:

Aren't those t-sticks the coolest? I just got one. I love it. Maybe that's the deep secret to spousal harmony... t-sticks.

My wife and her sisters are the ones who actually got me BUILDING (instead of just planning) ... they wanted a "sitdown arcade machine like MsPacMan at the cottage" ... bought an old cocktail for conversion the very next day and my first MAME machine was born.

Cheers
