The only statement my wife made with regard to pinball was that the dog on the raft in WH2O made it look like a fun game. So what can I take from that?
Everyone knows my Wife's Opinion, She likes the games and understands the Hobby. I had a Cocktail Vid in the Kitchen (Hey, Everyone needs a Kitchen table, Right?), but it is gone now! Damn! Almost smoothed over the No Pins in the Kitchen rule!! hehehe
She used to say "You have to tell me when you are going to Spend that much Money, Now she just rolls her eyes and sets the High score!! Then I can't get rid of it until She is off the list! Not a bad rule!

Why even ask the question? Does your girlfriend look for your approval when buying a sewing machine?
My wife said pinballs take up space. I agreed. That was the end of that.
Totally, that's what I was trying to say too although I sounded like a long-winded cynical jerk lol, and you however, summed it up with a lot more grace Necro
Guess I feel that, if I don't have room in my house for an arcade machine, then chances are, it's because I have too much OTHER crap in my house....
How much useless crap are we cramming into our houses these days if we don't have 10 square feet of floor space for a game?
Unless your using up cash that you need to run your household, what business is it of hers?
That's pretty much the deal I have with my wife. As long as there is a roof over our head, food on the table and clothes on the kids backs, we're cool.
I must live at the paradise ... I do whatever I want with the space in the house because it's MY house. I have plenty of space on the basement for arcade machines. Each one has his money to buy stuff we like. My girlfriend loves pinball and plays tournaments with me. She almost encourages me to buy new pinball machines. Baby or not, pinballs will stay there and the collection will continue to grow .. Also the girlfriend is sexy and loves sex.
Pins I own: The Shadow, Tales from the crypt, Funhouse, White Water, Demolition Man, Black Rose, World Cup Soccer 94
