Well? Are there?

got new stools in the kitchen so I have a bunch that would be perfect to move into the gameroom...Just not sure I'm digging it...

So? What do you guys do...
 
I was playing a game of 1943, one of my favorites. I was 10 boards in, trying to finish on one quarter. An ill fated shart created a dilemna. Do I proceed with the run or do I let it run? I was really feeling it on this playthrough, and decided that nothing was going to stop me. Sometimes we make hard choices in this hobby.
 
I've got 2. One dedicated for my Tapper and another one that is a floater. Yeah I said it, floater :)

I had to cut the seat off of my Hard Drivin to fit it in the basement. I did it at a point that it was not noticeable. I guess I did not attach it at all. When I had a party, one of my guests fell back on it.
 
Eat a bunch of cheese and take some pepto

I want to rep you, but it won't let me. Sorry bud, but I owe you one. I literally laughed out loud.

OMG! I had a similar situation during the 80s. Shameful to admit, but I was playing.... Time Pilot, or maybe it was Rally-X, but it was at Loppo's Pizza, and I was having the game of my LIFE.... and had to piss like a Russian race horse.

I was faced with a decision..... keep playing, and risk pissing myself or try to run home(which I could actually DO back then.... run.... and home was across the street, maybe a 90 second run away).

My bladder got to the breaking point... so I ran. I'd left a bunch of lives, and tried to make it home. I didn't. Half way across the parking lot, I let loose. At that point, I said "fuck it" and ran back to finish my game, pants soaked.

I finished my game(which set a high score on that machine that wasn't beaten for a long time)... then ran home to shower and change.

So.... I feel your pain, brother.

As for stools(the kind you sit on).....

After the fire at Odyssey, Along with Lunar Lander and Paddle Battle, I was allowed to snatch pretty much anything I wanted(except the other games/pool tables). So I grabbed one of the tables(2'x2'), two chairs, and two stools. The stools were originally gun-metal gray.... but I later painted them bright blue. I still have all of that shit. To me, it's part of the legacy of that place that meant so much to me.

The chairs are fiberglass, with metal legs. I've had to sand the rust off of the metal part(it literally is all one piece) a few times, and spray paint them... but they survive to this day. The stools.... one is a floater(kinda)... good for Super Pac-Man and Lunar Lander/Asteroids(once it's working again), and the other is being used as a table in the living room. I should put the chairs down there for Pole Position and Dig Dug... but I'm not sure the wife would approve. We have some ancient(literally) dining chairs there right now.

How many lives did you lose during the failed "run home"?
 
I'm 40+ years old. I need to sit down every now and then. Plus it helps with the small kids who aren't tall enough to play most games standing. I have 14 stools in the arcade I think, although half are at the bar.
 
Iggy , what kind of pizza place were you in that didn't have bathrooms and you had to run home to take a leak ???!!!

Only two... I still had several left.

Picture a "strip mall" type shopping center... One of the very small (say, about 15' wide spaces) "we may have a bathroom but insurance says it's for employees only" type of places. While I was on very good terms with the owners... they weren't THAT good, if you know what I mean.
 
We have stools. Not for the games so much, but more for people to hang out while others are playing games or pool.

Although we do have 2 in front of the Megatouch machine. But usually those are used by the cats.

My S.A.M.I. was not made for tall people. It plays best sitting on a stool.
 
When I first read the title of this thread I expected to see a turd on black light carpet. I vote no to stools.
 
I have one stool and three milk crates. The stool occasionally gets sat on, the crates I got with the intention of stacking 3 for a ghetto stool but most of the time the kids stand on the individual crates
