Post by: JackSparrow on March 10, 2009, 01:39:13 pm: Practicalities though, its a bit of a jip to get the cabinet up 4 flights of stairs to a top floor flat.. Ive had to move house recently so my haven of 8bit has gone to the wall...

Post by: Blanka on March 11, 2009, 10:40:39 am: Did you try Mappy in attract mode on her? It can help.
I have to admit the paint job on the Mame cab is not looking too good. It can be the picture, but it's not a real beauty.
And what about those ZX Spectrums and Amiga on the wall? Are they considered to be a useful part of the interior? Maybe you can trade them for the Mame cab.
And if she wants the cab gone, I would demand the cable subscription to be gone too (hope you're men enough to not miss something about that?). That black monster may be evil, but the average woman-tv-show is way more evil than that.

I am starting to lean to her opinion. Sorry about that. With a 17 inch 5:4 LCD that shape is monstrous!
Do you have a kid-girl? Turn it into a Bella-Arcade or something like that.

And ALWAYS buy her an ironing board if she wants that. And buy yourself some Armani shirts so she can use it!

No, the paint job wasnt brilliant, but that was also a first effort from bits from the bin.

Table is coming though!

I think if shes cool with a cocktail and you can live with it, it would be a great compromise. Having a limited space just sucks and well sometimes you have to give a little bling bling to get a little sing sing. ;)

i love it when people on this forum say stuff like this. whenever a husband does something that his wife requests, its regarded as "whipped". but im wondering if the guys making these comments are married...and if they are....if they have a happy marriage :dunno

I encourage my wife to have a life of her own and pursue hobbies. When it comes to stuff like this, you either have to make a stand or prepare to live a life of misery. I've always had motorcycles, trucks, guns and whatever else I'm into.
For now, that includes games. I'm up to 7 of them and have a very happy marriage.

There's no way I would have asked her to marry me if it was gonna be any other way.

Happily married, 9yrs, 5 kids and more in love now than ever. I tried living my life constantly trying to please my first wife and it ended up a flippin disaster. Now I got me a woman who knows who the man of the house is and respects me for it. And I know how not to abuse it. She would never lay the law down like that. And I would never spray paint in the kitchen.... ::)

Exactly. Really? If she doesn't respect you or your hobbies, you need to file a divorce and move on. Seriously.

And that usually shuts her up.

Post by: Expressline99 on March 20, 2009, 01:50:25 am: I honestly think this would be the perfect time to build a transformer cabinet. One that can transform into a cocktail table/full size cab/barcalounger. Seems like that could work.
