HELP! The Better Half Is Getting Fed Up!?

(1/7) > >>

FrizzleFried:
HELP!   My recent find of a Joust dedicated cabinet for $50.00 has put my wife on edge.   It isn't that the $50.00 is too much,  but rather she is tired of seeing yet another machine taking up space (and my time).   It's getting serious...she made me PROMISE not to have more than 4 machines at any given time...that means that after this Joust arrives,  I will have to SELL one to get another....argh!

How do you folks deal with your wives?   She just doesn't "understand"...and I have even managed to get her interested in World Bowling Championship Deluxe,  Shuuz,  and Shuffleboard,  but she STILL doesn't "get it".

ChadTower:

Better games will help... Joust is great, but those other titles, not so much.

Beyond that, there isn't much you can do.  If the conflict exists it always will.

FrizzleFried:
...she likes to use the trackball...

...maybe I should add a trackball to the Joust cabinet?   ::)

Havok:
Upgrade your wife...

 :D

Hurray Banana:
Find global reasons to spend time on your arcade.

I'm replacing worn out parts (lots £150 worth) on my TZ pin so that the machine is working properly in time for our daughters engagement party.

My wife is house proud so she wouldn't want guests playing a part working machine ;D

I'm also rebuilding me Mame cab in time for the party as well ;)

She still doesn't understand how I can spend so much time tinkering rarther than playing tho. She has realised that I will forever be replacing and mending and has sort of accepted it as long as I do everything else she expects of me, like building custom bookshelves, cupboards etc..
