I feel really smug now

Well boo sucks to you.

Man, I am jealous of those of you with basements. I would love to have a basement! (That doesn't flood, of course!)

I'm pretty lucky. We converted our formal dining area into a bar and billiards table, complete with stereo setup (our breakfast "nook" is big enough to hold the dining table and closer to the kitchen). I get one of the bedrooms, which is my office where I do my painting and use the closet for storage. Up until recently, I had to keep my videogames in there too (Rockband persuaded her to move the PS3 out onto the main 60 inch- YAY!). I have two desks and an entertainment center in there, so no room for a game table. Garage is also out as 1 side is for her car, the rest for my outdoor/power tools.

I guess I could put a surface on the pool table, but I am a bit picky about the felt getting messed up (it changes your shots). Plus, anytime my friends come over, beer/licquor and and pool always seem to beat out wargames....

I have a game room which shares space between 40k and D and D.

My only quarrel with my wife on the subject is that I have 2/3 of the shelf space, as my Waaagh masses more models than her eldar and dark eldar forces combined.

More shelf space is a continual mantra at our place..

Anyone else with a wife who shades your nerdy obsession with her own requirements?

Shouldn't you change the subject to "The downside of having a wife"? Just a thought

I used to try to play 40K at home, but I had to lock my cats away, and their wailing and thumping on the door was distracting. Now, it looks more like that picture somebody posted from CE3K. I have donated most of the terrain in my collection to my FLGS, which for good or ill is right across the street from a Hardees.

Through the living room and into the kitchen is a fridge full of Sprite, some sugar-free Cherry Kool-Aid look-alike, a bottle of Jagermeister, one of Tequila, and one of Seagram's 7 (for the Sprite of course), not to mention being stocked full of food.

Wow! Jager and 7! The bros down at Kappa must love you.
For someone who drops thousands on minis games you really like the rotgut.

*laughing*

For one, I don't drop thousands on minis games. While I *do* spend thousands traveling to play 40k, 75% of all of my models (5 armies and a total of some 75,000 points of non-upgraded stuff) were free. Or came at the cost of travel and tournament entry anyway.

And that's the public rotgut. I'm not doling out Johnny Walker Blue Label or Amarone unless the quaffer is an avid enthusiast of one of those two genres.
