Hahaha....The wife told me it was either her or the Mame machine...I sure am going to miss her...
Wanted to let you guys know I'm still alive...just had to put the hobby on the back burner due to the marriage separation...
I am in the process of having the bachelor pad up and going...with the Mame machine...
-
Man you take your gaming seriously...
-
I was going to say that this is a bad idea.
But then, I don't know what your wife's personality is like. So maybe it's a good thing afterall? ;)
I hope everything works out where everyone is happy, regardless.

Respek.
I use to think everyone on here was whipped and needed their wife's permission to spend their money on anything gaming related. But you pleasantly surprise me. Props for keeping it real. :cheers:
-
I hope she don't take your MAME CAB too and burn it :banghead:

Saint....Please take the ex -wife!!!!
Yeah ive missed you guys...Just been hell...
But yeah the Cab was the first thing i got when i moved...I was scared because during the move i ended up losing my sound card drivers...but its back to normal now...Alot of my friends asked me..."Did you get the cab?" I laughed...
Whats so funny is that on the seperation agreement she stated " Husband can keep the following: personal items, action figures, arcade cab...etc..." I joked saying " I didnt know i had GIJOE figures...damn!" But yeah..the bacholer pad has the cab, and im giving it that old game room/lounge decor.. I even had some female friends who tell me that they would love to check it out...Bada-Bing! But the main thing is that i wanted to let you guys know im still around...just been taking care of business...soon as i get my ducks in a row, ill be back in full force...Hell you guys are like my 3rd family!

Eagle...u right...I just know I made sure I got my CAB!!!! lol
Had some friends to come over to check out the new pad...and they never got past the living room (where the cab is located)...

Forget the pics of the wife, I want pics of the cab!
-
Oh man...good thing you got the cab, she could have been a B- :censored:-H and screwed you over for it. It wouldn't be the first arcade-divorce story I've heard. ;)

Good luck to you sir. I feel especially fortunate that my wife is all about an arcade cabinet now.

:laugh2: context humor! I love it! :laugh2:
But seriously, I've only been married 4 years and I'm already afraid my arcade will mysteriously have burned into a pile of ash one day when I get home from work.

Then it's open season on her shoe/purse collection. lighter fluid + garbage can out back. That'll learn her. :)
It's a good thing my wife knows, "a man needs his hobbies to distract him, otherwise we go crazy and break ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---" -- my cave-man theory. *grunt*
...at least, that what i keep reminding her at first glance of "the look". >:D

as a couple, I think both people should help each other out and sometimes that means given the other person space to do their hobbies. This goes both ways though.
-
True to that shateredsoul
my girlfriend let's me go with my projects because that is making me happy
lol only i nearly got myself killed twice with an arcade monitor and she was already counting the insurance money hehe :laugh2: :tool:

Mrs Cheffo has taken this a step further (as is her way).
I've been brutally busy with work and family stuff for most of the past year and haven't had a chance to even touch a game for most of that time (I've done a couple of monitor repairs and installed a multikit in my Cheyenne).
Last weekend Mrs Cheffo laid down the law -- there will be no sex if I don't make some time for myself and work on some games.
I've got two games back up and running, have a tin of Bondo ready to go for cabinet patching today and Asteroids reading ready for troubleshooting tonight.
:afro:

Nice Cheffo! Lucky man!
My wife is in the middle.. she hates when I spend time dong that instead of spending time with her because we have so little time to spend right now. Most of the time I can convince her to play a game or two with me, and sometimes I even get bored before she does and I have to drag her off so we can go out.
She really likes flicky, tetris, racing games where things blow up, and fighters where button smashing helps her win

Good luck with the Divorce. I hope both of you find what you guys are looking for and it is the best thing for both of you.
I hope there isn't any children invovled because just even the thought of people not seeing their kids is just sad.
On another note:
You should make a list though Cab Vs. Wife
And list the possitives and negatives.
It might help for theropy and I am sure people will add some humor to it to ease some pain or thoughts or something.
Good luck Friend.
:cheers:

Good luck with everything.
I have a rule in my house. 9:00 pm on is my time to game or whatever. I also don't let the wife influence my hobbies or what I will or won't buy within reason. You have to keep your dignity!

but but.. then when do you find time for.. you know.

There are 24 hours in a day. Assuming he games 9pm to midnight, that leaves 21 hours for him to do chores. We're talking about housework, right?

That's a euphemism, isn't it :puke

LOL. I get home from work at 5. That leaves 4 hours available! Also note the disclaimer above: 9:00 pm on is my time to game or whatever! This is open for interpretation or my current needs situation! In all seriousness, I just have it understood that there is time for me to do what I need to do without any hassle and I give the same to her. I even watch chick flicks and other activities to appease her needs, so she respects mine in turn.
