I have figured out what I'll buy my spouse when most couples are pouring money into boats or other expensive hobbies.

Do want! I'd never spend that much, but I've always wanted to try my hand at table making....

Hell, I've never played a tabletop RPG in my life, but I still think that's cool.

Yea, verily, he (or she) who draws the aforementioned ~~sword~~ gaming table from their line of credit will be king of the ~~Britons~~ Geeks.

Sure beats a card table and a couple of DM screens.

See, the trouble is that even if by some miracle we ever end up not being broke, this monstrosity wouldn't fit anywhere upstairs, at least not if one wanted to be able to get charis around it. Most of the gamers are anti-gun. How do we built an awesomely cool basement when the gamers would get all freaked out by the rifles hanging on all the walls around the massive behemoth of a gaming table?

(please note, I do not game. This is purely a spousal venture. I just find it amusing, with occasionally cool accessories, like other gamers, who are mostly kinda' fun.)

NEat idea, but not something I'd spend that kinda money on (although gamers tend to be the types to drop LARGE sums of cash, sometimes even more than comp shooters).

I like the idea though: think I might have to make notes and draw up some plans. Eventually, Spoon and I will be in a house we own, and mods can be made to it...

Huh? My set of gamers are all gun-nuts like us.

You could have a MG-42 on the wall and they'd drool...

Ah stereotypes, where would we be without them? Gamers are nerds living in the basement, boaters are drunks living off their wives... oh wait...

Dude, we live in a college town. A major college town, home to notorious party school Michigan State. There is no shortage of scantily clad nubile flesh.

Just add booze, girls with loose morals, and install a pole on the party barge.

For $2200 it better launch photon torpedos or beam up scantily clad nubile young women when I push one of the buttons.
