Do you tell your co-workers about your arcade?

Yeah, I invite a lot of my co-workers to my arcade parties, so they're well aware of my arcade. I don't think any of them think I'm flaunting anything, except maybe my nerdiness (several co-workers drive new Teslas... I drive vehicles from last millenium).

Since my license plate says JOUST and I host a yearly company pool/arcade party, then yes, my coworkers and employees know I have 30+ arcade games.
 
I never tell, but when I have parties I enjoy watching their jaws drop and their wives trying to drag them home. I call it my bonus room. We do the same thing for our kids parties. When I run into their friends at school, they always point at us and say "that's the arcade house people". Pretty funny. Actually, seeing what the kids played changed my collection to more 2 player together games.
 
Yeah my coworkers know. I took two cocktails to thanksgiving party almost three years ago and now have six machines here. I rotate every so often and they are now part of our corporate culture. I take them to cons every so often and people keep telling me out empty our office feels when they are gone. Haha. They get a lot of love here especially the Pins. They even gave me an account if I need to do repairs. It gives me extra storage so that's a plus.

yes, I tell them and most don't care really...

:(
 
I've mentioned it to my coworkers after a couple of them were talking about making their own MAME cabinets. Outside of that I don't bring it up.

I do, however, bring it up to my students every semester. I'll mention it in passing and have actually had some leads on games because of it. Nothing has ever panned out yet, but that's the main reason I bring it up. I also had one student who was a KLOVer, but he hadn't been active for a few years so we never exchanged our handles.
 
Not anymore. Most people really dont care anyway. If a conversation was to take place than I am sure I would talk about it, but for the most part I try to keep my personal life out of the work place.
