How anal do you get with your games, when company is over?
Hey guys,
was wondering if anyone else gets anal regarding their games or if I'm just a lone freak? I'm close to having all my games working and nice now and have just started opening up the garage on family functions.... something I've been looking forward to since joining the hobby..
The Problem is, I've noticed that I'm anal about the games. Little things, like reminding kids to wash their hands before playing games if they've eaten so oil doesnt get onto the games...Laying the law down on 5 year olds if they're running around in the garage with toy swords or something that might scratch them.. It makes me nervous, and its kind of pathetic on my part. Seeing 3 or 4 kids piling into afterburner deluxe at the same time bugs me. The absolute, worst is when we set up the barbeque.. the only place we can set it up is right next to the garage and smoke enters the vents and slowly fills the room. I'm paranoid it will leave my games smelling like charcoal and lighter fluid so I set up fans to blow the smoke elsewhere. I've explained why the fans are needed to my wife and she just shakes her head. My in-laws doing the cooking think I'm nuts and keep turning the fan off, just so I can come over and turn it back on again, lol.
Do any of you guys have these anal, OCD tendencies or any others? What kinds of things bother you when opening up your game room to company? Does anything bother you guys at all or am I just being a douche, and need to relax?
Thanks,
Tom
