My girlfriend and I are very opposite, she claims to hate anything from the 80's, especially music but also video games or systems which look 80's to her, and that includes turbografx stuff, even though its more towards early 90's.
Recently when I got my PC engine GT, I was really excited and smiling and she looks at it and says:
"What is that?!"
me: "Its an older system that was the best back in the day! Its a portable turbo grafx!"
"Oh my god, that thing is soo 80's! Terrible!"
me: "What the hell are you talking about?...."
"look at it, you can tell that thing survived the 80's"
me :"look at what, its f*cking awesome, what the hell is wrong with you!?"
"Oh so you just had to have it huh? You couldnt buy it as a kid so now you think your all badass now with your turbo whatever..."
me: "Your damn right I do!"
Anyway yea, its typical dialogue like this that I live with, my girlfriend doesnt have a problem with video games, she really likes the DS lite and mario kart and yoshis island, but I dont play it much at all, im too busy building my turbo power collecion, its like my friend paulie used to say "Dont ever let a woman think for you." Her problem isnt that its games, its that its "Too 80's"
This knowledge has been useful, when I feel like pissing her off, I simply play turbo grafx while listening to some kind of overkill 80's band like Hall and Oates or something, works every time! hahahahahaha
Any of you have any stories?
