Always has to be a parting jab, what is this Hollywood Squares? *shakes fist*
Sorry to hear about your arcade. I don't think my wife would ever go there to tell me I need to move my games for whatever reason...but if she did, I would refer her to this video...

Here's what it looks like now:
Two words: Porn Set...
That might explain why the last pic makes it look like the couch cushion has a full-body sized sweat stain on it.

Well, you'll get it back after New Year's so let's not panic....
No, he probably won't.
This sounds like the usual "Camel and the Tent" story, Women's primary M.O.

a dedicated arcade room is cooler than having them out in the open... mine are in the living room, and its just kinda okay. Lacks atmosphere...

I like your way of thinking. I agree.

Don't let her convince you of that!
BTB - whatever happened to kids playing in their rooms? Thats what we did growing up. My wife wants a "playroom" too, and I asked why? The kids room isn't just for sleeping. Play in there. Thats what me and all of my friends did growing up. We didn't have "playrooms" or "nursery's" or whatever the hell else all these DIY shows tell you is necessary. We had our bedrooms, and we spent a lot of time in them playing.
Hell - what's wrong with the kids sharing the damn arcade or playing outside.

I've seen photos of your house... it's 3x the size of mine...
... we just know who wears the pants in the house. No worries... the path to glory is the one of least resistance. I understand.
At least you're not out in the garage... like me.

You should rent or buy a place off-site for your games. Would get them all out of the house and would provide a nice getaway.

I like it. What's another monthly expense? I wish I had Peter Hirshberg's old set-up. I'd head straight out to the fun house every night and rarely step foot in the real one. You know, I am still convinced that this hobby is cursed. If you take it too far, like many have, your empire crumbles one way or the other. Rarely is it a joint effort to achieve greatness. It's always one obsessed guy who tries to do everything himself, while the intimate parties who are ultimately impacted by the obsession look on with growing disdain and an ever more critical eye.

I don't have any games in my house, they are all located in my cliff hanger arcade in the back yard. It would be more problematic if I lived in a place with cold weather.
Getaway hobbies in some ways are better. For instance if you own a boat, and keep it in a slip, in order to use it or work on it, you have to go the marina. It keeps it off of the wife's radar and gets you out of the house and provides space in the relationship. If you own a sports car, you have to drive it to enjoy it and take it to car shows and meets. When you collect games, they end up in the garage, the house, the backyard and everywhere else. It can become a marriage problem very quickly.

No way! It's may be a bit more modern looking of a arcade game, kind of ugly in my opinion but I think the game play is decent goes along with the theme.

Yeah, one minute you are shooting the shit and collecting like mad. Then you disappear for a few months. Then you sell all your shit, come back and blame your porn addiction and infidelity on klov.

I'm also in the boat of "they can play in their rooms". I just had my first kid last month and part of the whole procreation discussion was that there is no designated kids play area. They can play around the house and set stuff up somewhere else, but their room is "their primary spot" to have all their toys and crap stored(within reason...not gonna store their bike up in there ;P). They don't get ownership over other areas of the house. That's a perk of being an adult and living in your own place. That's how it was when I grew up anyways. *shrug*
Primal Rage...I mean...yeah. This isn't really a hardcore fighting community and I don't want to knock a fellow collector's favorite game...but...hrm...not so great in the grand scheme of the genre is all I am sayin'.
Good luck with the new space.
