I only have 7 games but plan on getting more.I have 5 in my basement and 2 in the garage cause they won't fit in my basement.I moved some shit around yesterday in the garage and now have room to put all in there.My wife thinks I'm stupid to put them all in the garage the reason I don't know.She is the one that bitched in the 1st place when I put them in the basement now she's fighting me on THIS WTF.I have always wanted them all in the same area what is your thoughts on this anyone else ever had this issue?
 
Put them where they will get the least resistance from her. When the wife is happy, you'll be happy. -Barry
 
I absolutely HATE the idea of having my collection split between multiple rooms. So, when I ran out of room, I kinda went into hibernation.

Now I'm looking to really tighten up my collection...possibly replacing a piece or two that doesn't mean a great deal to me with something else that does.

Oh yeah...

...divorce the wife.

(I keed, I keed.)
 
Maybe she just doesnt want you to go through the trouble of moving them. It's her way of saying buy more for the garage and leave the others where they are. Buy more....buy more...buy more.

Ya know how sometimes you wanna tell the wife it's ok to get more shoes or clothes but you just cant make yourself say it. This is her way of saying buy more.

Dude, put em in the garage. I had the same bitchin' from the wife. I think she thought it looked all crowded and cluttered. But now, she feels its just an extension of our home for entertaining. Do it right and I think she'll be fine with it. Add paint, put in some pendant lighting, add a cooler, etc. She'll eventually give in and want to have guests over.

Probably be a good idea to let her have her own way with other rooms of the house. Like she gets to design and decorate kitchen, bedrooms, living rooms. Then tell her, "OK these are YOUR places. This one is MINE".

I never thought of that.Of course that must be what she's thinking now I get it. I will buy more and put one in the bathroom too she would like that.

Lets see, she complained when you put them in the basement, she complained that you want to put them in the garage. Sounds to me that your wife's issue is that you have them at all. Big surprise there... :cool:

Just make sure its a cockpit placed right over the throne if you know what I mean. And dont forget, cocktails make good night stands or vanity tables too!

No she really does like the games she just doesn't want to hang out in the garage where I'm always at.We have no kids so all my friends come to my house to get away from thier wiv'es and kids and have a beer. What happens in the garage stays in the garage.She's just a prude that way. And she doesn't want me running the heat all the time this winter but I'm going to anyway cause I work on my muscle car all the time too.
 
Tell her she can pick out some new furniture or go shopping or something if you can stick em all in the garage :p
 
Like my dad always said " you gotta whoop that pussy don't let that pussy whoop you " I wish it were that easy!

This gets my vote!
 
Depending on the setting, you can do a lot to make a garcade look more like an arcade and less like a garage. But it really depends on what you have to work with. I was luck enuff to have insulated sheetrocked walls so it was basically a big ass room with a big ass door leading outside. So new/old games are easy in easy out. My wife mentioned that since it was only a garage that she didn't care what I painted or how I decorated it........so I rolled with it. Now it's more game room than anything else and I'll probably be working on starting a center double row of games within the middle of the garage.

I say trick out the garcade and turn the basement into a sex dungeon.

It's probably not the games, it's the "clutter". Invite her to help redesign the basement arcade, put a couple of her favorite games in there and tell her that you will be using the garcade for working on games and storing the ones for swapping in and out with the ones in the basement so it doesn't get "stale".

Sounds like it's time your wife has a big ole bowl of shut the hell up.

And here's the origins of the "whip that pussy" the movie BOOMERANG

Mr. Jackson: Now Marcus, I hear a girl down at the office got you pussy-whipped.
[Smacks on fingers]
Mr. Jackson: You got to reverse it. Don't be pussy-whipped, whip that pussy. Like this here, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
 
Push for the garage. Eventually you'll find a nice game that WON'T FIT in the basement! I have a 2 player OutRunners that I got a good deal on because it needed work and it IS FRIGGIN HUGE. (two monitors in one case that doesn't come apart!). There's no way it's going in my lower level, so eventually the whole arcade is going into the garage.

Now if I could only clean out the garage...
