Anyone else notice their allergies got much worse once they filled their house with games? Granted it could be a reaction to pollen, pet dander or other allergens, I'm trying to pin down the reason for my own good.

Could be the stench of cigarette smoke they usually have.
 
Actually, your games react with each other to create allergens. If you are feeling the effects it means your games are out of harmony—you have not achieved the correct mix of games to cancel each other out. The only answer is to keep buying more games until you find the right combination and your allergic reaction stops. You might have to open new areas of your home to games, but it's all in the name of good health.

Sometimes an allergy to pine will cause this to happen, but don't rule out the possibility that a cabinet may have mold spores that need to be addressed. Worst case there's an old rat's nest in your marquee space. I once picked up 3 Nintendo cabs in one shot and when I took off the marquees to check on the bulbs I found 3 identical gross nests up there. I recommend getting a good air conditioner filter and replacing it every 30 days. Also, running the fan continuously helps as well (the A/C will still stop/start as needed of course). Good times.

Leave it up to Ron to set me straight, I tried to convince the wife of the "science" argument but it came off as "bullshit" in her crazy logic.
 
Nobody move! I can help ...... I'm a scientist!

It is well known that DMD pins emit a stronger electron radiation due to the displays and their high rate of electron flow. The electrons are released in to the atmosphere of your home basically ionizing the air you breathe. You're negatively charging your body attracting more dust particles, pollen, mold, dander - whatever.

As a friend, I'll help you. Drop off that World Cup Soccer at my place, I'm willing to jump on that grenade for you. Within a week, you'll feel better. Placebo effect if nothing else.

I knew this was coming, fortunately the DMD is wrapped in a foil blanket and I wear my tinfoil hat while playing thus avoiding said radiation. I also drink a fine stout beer while playing which makes me run to the bathroom next morning exiting out any residual exposure.
 
I noticed I got a little sneezey when I was cleaning mine up but I think that has more to do with the mouse nest/pee party they had behind the marquee than the game itself.

Good thing I wasn't hanging around then these past few days. Heh. (Had a nuclear stress test on Tuesday, so even today I'm about 40x as radioactive as normal background levels. Did have me worried about perhaps erasing EPROMS just by standing in the same room as them. heh.)

Ack! Hope everything is okay!

OH man. In your attempt to create a Faraday cage, you actually created a Klovenweiner tube. When the electrons are hitting the foil blanket, they are repelled, accelerating their movement. As they bounce around in the foil blanket, they are releasing smaller, more electronegatively charged Kuhscheiße particles from the foil blanket. Due to their further smaller size and larger charge, a quantum effect takes place as the Kuhscheiße particle density increases within the foil blanket. They, in effect, shift to the nearest space approximating the Faraday cage you're trying to create - the tin foil hat on your head, thus creating the Klovenweiner tube.
To a layman, the simplest solution may seem to just remove the tin foil hat. This is a very bad idea.

At this point bringing the World Cup Soccer to me is your only solution, I can make sure it is neutralized properly. Now that I know what you've done, I am required to report you to the National Electron Waste Prevention Investigation and the National Faraday Oversight Response of Magnetized Emissions (NEWPINFORME) if you take any other action to rid yourself of the cause of your allergens.
 
I believe my games can read my mind ... so I wear a TIN hat in the arcade. Science ... games can read your MIND!! :)

One option is to build a time machine and travel back in time to snipe the WCS right from my hands at the precise moment or you could just bring the stout beer to my house for a WCS free for all, less painfull that way.

All of you with inside-the-house arcades are on the official and national and unionized pidgeon list for tuberculosis. This could have been avoided if we hadn't taught pidgeons to write and organize themselves.

Interestingly enough, those radiation tests raise your levels enough to trip some of the detectors at airports and train stations.

Considering the point beating you gave me last time we played, I can't say it wasn't painful. But, you're on.

Yup. That's why the radiologist gave me a card to carry with me through tomorrow indicating that I was administered 30 mCi of Tc-99m with a half life of 6.02 hours. As of a few moments ago, I'm down to 20x the normal background levels. :D

The result turned out totally normal. Just had it done due to family history and personal medical history coupled with age. If it were the "older days", I could have hung out outside of a film developer "hut" and ruined all the pictures. lol.

ROFL. Back then pictures counted. Now people take photos of everything. It's awful. How do we ruin those?

Man... I sound old.
