She needs to be bigger and darker to qualify in Keranu's book.  8)

this is my 80's hating high maintenance European girlfriend. 

Not bad looking at all but i trade her in for a new model any ways.

Any body who's ignorant towards games from the 80's, is either spoiled by 3d or is part of the PS1 generation  :P

Unless she doesn't have found memorise of 80's and had a horrible experince back then.

Still any time i've had a GF there not too bother by my game collection.

Guess i'm lucky on that part.

My wife knows how goofy I get over video games, and while she doesn't fully appreciate it, she's happy as long as I don't get too obsessive and allow video games to interfere with the important things in life.

She likes Galaga, Ms. Pac Man, etc. etc., but she doesn't want to listen to video game music in the car, for example. (I tried to listen to PCE Dragon Spirit on the trip up to Boston, but she promptly vetoed it. We compromised and listened to Orange Juice instead).

My wife's #1 complaint is that I'm monopolizing all of the storage space in our home. Video games, books, magazines, CD's, records, LD's, etc. etc. eat up a lot of space.

If she found any old-skool computer or console item at a garage sale / thrift store, though, she wouldn't hesitate to get it for me. She recently got a fantastic Dual CS 5000 turntable that some fool was throwing out. No, she doesn't like all the space that my records occupy, but she knew I'd be stoked to have a nice turntable for the stereo in the family room. :)

I wasn't aware that orange juice could be listened to, as it doesn't really make any sound.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys this thrilling lifestyle.

Now Steve, don't be a numbnutz.

Video games are the important things in life.

Ha! Actually, I think books and music are the most important things in life :).

Sure they can!

Compare Cosmic Fantasy 2's storyline to Clifford the Big Red Dog

Compare Ys' music to 'N Sync

 :mrgreen:

Video games clearly win.

Wow, I didn't figure anyone else on a PCE board would know Orange Juice.  "You Can't Hide Your Love Forever" is a great album.

Oh yeah?  Compare any of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books to any current videogame.  Videogames don't let you choose your own god damned adventure.  They are super-linear like Metal Gear Solid, Rallisport Challenge 2 and Tetris!  f*cking videogames.  They only WISH they could choose their own adventure!  Notice how they try to copy books by having TEXT in some games.  Puh-leeez!  And they try to copy music CDs and concerts by having music, and TV shows by having graphics.  Videogames are teh sux.
