Do your neighbors hate you?
Hemi:
Well played. :cheers:

I *LIKE* having my games in the basement and, with two exceptions, have had no problem moving games down there. It doesn't disturb anybody upstairs when I have them all running and gives me more far more space than any room (or two or three) on the main floor.
My basement must be an exception to your rule though, because it is actually the same age as the rest of the house.
And it doesn't smell like garbage.
:P
Hemi:
I've always never had to "hide" my cabs in an attempt to not "disturb" anyone. My family and people I have known have always welcomed game playing of all kinds and it is accepted to have them in the main house and not having to bury them in a basement.

Personally, except for rare situations - like an old buddy of mine whose land is hilly and his basement has a door on a lower part of land than the first floor is on so there's no steps to fall down - I'd prefer an extension or just extra room of some sort. But I don't live in a dense urban sprawl region, either.

I meant no basements in south Florida because the water table is too high. There are basements in NY, one think that makes me happy.

My basement doesn't smell, but it is kept just dingy enough so no one disturbs ME while I'm down there.

You see, there you go again, putting your own personal spin on things and judging based on your limited perspective.
My friends and family love the game room.
How many cabinets do you have in that extra room in your "decent" house ? Where do you put the pool table ? The bar ?
How many people do you share that house with ? Any kids who may have bedtimes after which you want to play or work on games ? A wife who may want to read a book or watch TV without feeling the deep bass of Space Invaders or Asteroids ?
I am becoming convinced that you are our dearly (wish he were still) departed Giants/pit bull fan -- who else would begin a sentence with "I've always never" ?
