New one coming home in the morning and I'm just giddy with excitement. Deal isn't done until the morning and when she is up against the wall I'll let you know who she is. Best part is the wife is away for a few days, I decided just minutes ago to bite the bullet and won't have to deal with her WTF stares until sunday night when I'm on my way out the door for work.


(can't reveal the game yet, gotta build up some anticipation and don't want to jinx the deal)
 
The most precious thread ever would be to set up a hidden cam aimed at the spot when the wife first walks into the room where the new game is and capture it on film.
 
The other great thing is the conversation justifying your purchase and the spin you put on it.

Hahahaha. So true. She's always waiting to hear me start that conversation, just so she can cut me off with a "I don't want to hear it" palm to the face.
 
This is a case of it's a game I've wanted that kicked my ass in the arcade and in the console ports. Plus at the insane price I was offered, I just couldn't refuse -- a if you show up by this time with cash in hand ready to haul, you can have it for the low low price of....
 
I got "the look" today when the girlfriend learned of my Tempest purchase. I gave her a heads-up that I would likely be getting it back on Wednesday, at which time I received the "pre-look look."

It's nice to hear I'm in good company.

Congrats on your new game, sir. Post some pics in the morning.
 
I am a lucky man. My wife loves the idea of having a room filled with arcades, just as long as it's also got a bar... and liquor.
 
pfft your all lucky, my g/f is already mad about the fact i want to fix and restore my space duel to keep it and not sell it and is going to be even more mad when she finds out i bought parts to fix the screen
 
Common exchange between me and wife:

Wife: How much is that game worth, do you think?
Me: Hmm, maybe about $600 max.
Her: Wow, you should sell that! We could use $600.
Me: Yeah, but then I'd have to hold on to the $600 until I could find another one of these for $600.

Somehow she doesn't understand that if you sell your game, that you tried so hard to find, and restore, that then you wouldn't have it any more. Then it's back to square one.
 
So I heard ur gonna tell us all about itonce u get it home today, whatss the scoop!
