When you play your arcade game, where do you put your phone

[Generic Eric]

Do you have a table that you put your phone on? Or do you keep it in your pocket? 

Part of me wants to have a USB jack on the front panel.  Is this a good idea? Or pants?

Just put the damn thing in your pants where it belongs.

Not MAME, but maybe MESS?

[BadMouth]

I put it on the barstool next to the machine so I don't have to pull it out of my pocket to see who's calling or texting. 
I rarely use the barstool for sitting, partly because it has no cushioning.

USB ports are on that side of the cab, but it never once occurred to me to charge the phone.

Playing pocket pool can turn into a mess...



I don't usually carry my phone around with me in my house, unless I am expecting a call, which is usually never. I have a designated charging stand in my house.

On the drill press.  Yeah, it's like my phones' (yes two of them...stupid work cell) spot in the shop.  When I'm using the drill press I have no idea where to put the phones.  Sometimes they're on the pin, sometimes on R2's drink tray, sometimes I lose them completely.  Stupid devilish electronic leashes.

Or you could just stop carrying around your leash 100% of the time.

[Generic Eric]

It's not a leash.  It's  my internet.

I choose not to do that, at first I said I can't but that's not correct, it's a choice.  Company Commander for the Army.  Love the job, appreciate the responsibility, had the cellular leash.  You know that we had a perfectly operating Army before powerpoint and cell phones?  It's mind blowing.

I usually put my phone on top of the move strip.

I take my gaming seriously. My phone is in another room.

[ark_ader]

In my shirt pocket, with my BT headphones on, streaming my moving pictures album.

Yeah since most of you guys cannot read a map and have to rely on GPS....

Tell me again why you are making fun of my Soldiers and why on earth you feel you are qualified to do that.

Because I read history, and I know the real reason for the GPS satellites.  You guys keep reading your maps upside down, and when you are advancing, it looks like you are retreating.  As told to me from several high ranking officers in the British Army.  The secrets out mate. 


Edit:  I got a lot of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for this when I was contracting at several Barracks in the UK, being an American during the Gulf War I got to speak with a bunch of guys that had problems with mis drops, friendly fire etc due to navigation "issues" by the yanks.  You cannot be more informed than that.

I usually place it on the bar nearby on the left, sometimes in the pingulp a machine away on the right, or if i need photos of the screen for competitions I'll place it on the CP just above player 2 buttons.  Stays there real snug.

If I need to charge it, its sitting on a roulette table just a couple feet behind, plugged into the wall.

[JDFan]

Having worked for too many years in Restaurant and Retail Management and getting calls at all hours of the day on my days off -- My phone is attached to a wall in the kitchen with an answering machine attached.

Haven't owned or used a cell/smart phone in years and I enjoy my days off much more since getting rid of it -- If they can't get a hold of you on your days off they learn to make desicions themselves and become less dependant on you always being available for every little thing !! There is nothing so important that needs to interrupt your game play time (esp. if you are playing with your friends\family) so turn the phone off and put it in another room and enjoy the limited free time without interruption.

Left pocket.  Next.

Damn! That looks fun as hell. How big is that monitor?

It depends, in EU/Japan it's called 29". I think it's referred to as a 27" in the US. A NANAO MS9, the finest low res 29" produced IMHO.

[wp34]

If I'm at a public arcade the phone stays in the cargo pants.  At home I typically have it on the CP.  Can't miss out on any of those Craigslist deals that might come up.   

Oddly enough I saw this thread in-between games when I was playing yesterday.

That is a fine looking cabinet.

Well you could install the HP Stream 7 in your CP as shown in the image.

Android only goes so far in our emulation world, but with a full PC in your CP the options would be limitless.

Thank you. I have two.
