Who do you think they're mistaking you for? ;)

I have the opposite experience where people just look at me with a blank stare when I tell them that I've built an arcade machine. I tell them that it plays every game that they remember from the arcades, Atari, Nintendo, etc. and they pretty much pat me on the head and say, "That's nice." Makes me want to move to Australia where apparently everyone is wild about arcades.

If you've gotta tell them, save your breath.  Once word gets out, they'll be bugging you all the time.  "Hey dood, when are you going to that auction again and can I give you like, $300 or so and you just pick me up a Golden Tee 2005?"

Ass hats.
Havok:
Yeah - I get that too. Since I work in IT, we're all a bunch of geeks anyways so I get lots of questions on it. They all loved my website, and I have introduced a number of people to Mame and StarRoms...

Hey - that's legal? WTF?

I thought all the Mamers were pirates, and took money away from these big corporations, so they can't feed their families...

Mostly I see the change with the ladies.

To alot of people, grown men talking about video games is no different than if you were talking about playing with dolls.

Of course those kinds of women usually have NO hobbies beyond shopping and dreaming about their wedding day. (there are lots of em like this)
