Poll: Video games in home theater

Pages: << < (2/7) > >>

CheffoJeffo:

I would have to agree with everything Lew said and I have a bit softer stance than Fozzy.

I am still surprised by the volume of "wife won't let me"s out there. Mine is very supportive and, so long as they don't clutter the main areas of the house, she doesn't complainabout the cabinets.

Good luck with the project.

Cheers



Stingray:

Same here. I have a wife who has no problem with me having a game room, so that's where I play games. The TV in the living room is for watching movies & television shows. I don't play games in there even if I'm the only one home.

I would have to speculate that any wife who is so controlling as to tell you when & where you can play games would have no interst in allowing you to install something like this in "her house".

Chill out, dude. Why are you flipping out? The guy has a project he wants to do for himself that he wants to be able to turn into a class assignment. What's the harm? It's not like he's trying to commercialize BYOAC. If he had a new encoder, monitor, or control, you wouldn't be so rabid. But the moment someone comes in with something you don't want, you freak out.

He asked a very simple, fair question and gave a whole bunch of options. If you don't like it, speak with your vote. No need to flame.

As I see it, any exposure is good exposure (at least until the abuse sets in). Maybe his research will uncover something that could unknowingly help the entire community. Who knows? But I do know there's no reason to be flipping out.

Maybe it's because I only graduated a couple of years ago, and I've still got school on the brain. I can totally sympathize with his position. I personally wouldn't have a need for one myself since I already have upright machines, but that's a personal decision. If someone wants to a turn a personal project into into a class assignment, I say go for it.

More Cowbell:

I just think you're asking the wrong group. We are build-it-yourselfers looking for an arcade experience. Your question would be better asked at a home theater site.

Matthew Anderson:

Look, I want to answer your poll but the option I would pick is no thanks not interested. You do not give me the choice, I can either say I am interested or that I feel it is offensive or I don't understand why people would want this. Well, I don't feel it is offensive nor am I mystified as to why someone would want it.

So where's my no thanks?
