Do you tell your "significant other" when you're getting games?
I love arcade games and pinball machines. I have 12 in the basement now. Until the other day, I had 9. With the help and generosity of Eagle TG, I get to store some of his working stuff.
Anyway, we took them down last Tuesday. I told my wife that we were moving some games around that night, and she was like "whatever". I did not mention I was putting 3 down there (well, she didn't ask
). My wife never goes down to play the games. Well Sunday she went to get something out of the basement fridge and I thought to myself...."uh oh, here we go" and I hear the following: "Whoa! Every time I come down here, there's more games!!!!............. Cool".
I found this funny, and while the basement is more of a man cave type space (although I HATE that term), I have to appreciate her patience with my hobby. Not that I normally keep things from her, but I forgot to mention this acquisition.
So I was wondering; do you mention to your significant other when new games are arriving? Or is it a "surprise"?
