Man Cave

[Shibathedog]

I am opposed to LG. I had to take it back and replace it with what I got now. It was a better deal anyway.

 

The LG I had, I dont remember the model, had a split second delay on the audio. I didnt want to take the chance on another LG

 

 

WTF that is messed up. It was probably something wrong with that specific TV though you could have probably exchanged it for the same model and got a working one. My parents have a 42 inch LCD LG that I liked a lot. A buddy of mine has a 60 inch plasma that has pretty good image quality but it has this weird burn in issue. If you watch sports or the news where there is stuff that stays still it will burn in for like a day and then be gone the next. It's still like brand new though so maybe this will go away after awhile.

 

Anyway I don't have cable and I don't really watch sports. I just download everything off the internet. My ISP gives me free access to that ESPN 3 thing so I can watch stuff online if I really want to. All I really care about is the Mets baseball anyway. I can't stand football. Everyone is Bengal crazy around here. Never have I seen a sports team with fans so goddamn stupid. The Reds are....not what they used to be. Then there is all this college basketball garbage. UK, UC, and someone else it's like this big rivalry thing. I miss being in Detroit when hockey was still the shit and the red wings where kicking ass. That Hockeytown stuff was nuts. There would be crazy parties flooding the streets everywhere.

 

Black Friday though maybe, it seems like usually they just up the prices a bit before and then on black friday put them back to normal. Usually the high end stuff I want is unaffected by black friday anyway. I know a guy who works at an electronics store who could get me a TV at the price the store pays. That's probably the way to go.

 

About the man cave location, I was fine with using the basement. I think she doesn't like the idea of me supposedly needing a place to go to get away from her. I tried to explain to her that the point is not to get away from her but to keep my mess all in one place but she just didn't understand I guess.

That's Plasma, period.

 

I turn my TV on in the morning, and while it's still black on-screen, I can still see the in-game lobby burned in from playing MW2 the night before. Goes away shortly after though with something else on-screen.

Tell her she can chill with you in the cave. Make her know just as you say, it so all your shit isnt bothering her or whatever. You are not trying to escape her, you want your man cave... build it, drag her by her hair into it and then she will understand.

My wife won't let me have a man cave. She got all includes being drunk as fuck and shouting and playing games or whatever.

 

My neighbor wouldn't stop talking to me about Jesus the other day.

 

this is the funniest shit I have read in a long time.

[ken_cinder]

If your woman doesn't let you have your likes...you need a new woman.

 

Any woman that says "The games go, or I do" would be told "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!". I have my hobbies, if you don't like em...fuck off.

 

You can't neglect her though, that's where some guys get it wrong. Just don't let her make you neglect YOU, for her...or she needs to go.

[Krosigrim]

I dont think that applies here. Sounds like she is being all weird thinking he is trying to escape her. I bet with some decent communication he can get this going. Perhaps he didnt have a real need to make the man cave as he doesnt even have a "good" tv

 

But you are absolutely right Cinder. A mate cannot rightly expect to change the other. I am a gamer, she knows this from practically day one. Change, if any, should come from ones self. Trying to change someone is wrong. If they cant accept you for who you are, then go.

 

I still remember clearly, my buddies #@$^%^#$^@#^ of a wife (newly wed at the time) telling him in all seriousness to "shut up, you talk too much" He was explaining the controls to a friend who has never played the game: he is detailed like I am. He shut up with an embarrassed look!!! It was so fucking sad. This WAS the guy took NO shit from anyone.

I remember quite a few times when this has just "slipped out" off a woman's gob.

These are the bad eggs.

 

I was once stood in my kitchen smoking weed (3 years ago) and that shit hit me pretty hard and i was semi fucked/semi awake and the bitch stood in front of me put her face up to me like i was "out of it and said "You're nothing but a fucking idiot." (yes said in nasty way) I immediately stood up and she kinda went away from em and went and sat on the bed, I said "What the fuck did you just say to me!"? She shut up and looked sheepish.

 

Another time a guy must of been doing this lasses head in, when they stepped out of the car she couldn't hold it in any-more and shouted "Will you just shut fucking up!!!" he drove her home and that was that.

[Krosigrim]

Well arguments are one thing, "will you just shut the fuck up". But when its in a comment like regular... your like WTF?!

[emsley]

Yeah that shits a shock, just put them back in their place ASAP. fraudulent slips!

[Krosigrim]

I believe every person should have theyre hobby space. Be it a game setup, a nook for arts and crafts: drafting table or desk with a shit ton of beads and shit for making jewelry. Everyone should be able to do what the fuck they want, otherwise what the hell are you doing? Living for nothing?

 

We game, a gaming setup is the shit. My mom cooks/bakes, makes jewelry, all kinds of stuff. She has her craft table and a shit ton of cooking accessories. Stepdad reads and watches a TON of material. He has a bookshelf, an entire RACK of vinyl he doesnt even listen to, and a collection of CD's for movies he has burned. Thats how it should be.

 

I have a feeling my old friend has nothing... save for a hidden porn section on his computer. Everyone deserves to relax and do what they like when the time is right.

the whole "you can't have a man-cave cuz then I can't be up your ass all day" thing is it's own issue. everyone needs space. a little bit of alone time.

I don't have a man-cave cuz we simply don't have any extra space. but my wife knows if I grab my guitar and go back to the bedroom it's "me" time. and I know if she goes back there and gets on the phone with her girl friend it's "her" time. I don't need to be up her ass all the time and she doesn't need to be up mine.
