So we're getting a poll for each of the seven gadgets StoneMtnMinis asked about in the proposal? Yay.

If my primary computer and gaming area are both technically in the kitchen in the combined kitchen / dining area then I guess it's still a no. It's a regular-sized fridge.

So Stone Mountain "knows" I do computer games? I'd be interested in his source of information, since it's news to me.

Wouldn't work as a combined poll. What if you have more than five of these items?

*blink*

The software doesn't allow you to let people pick more than five options? That's bizarre.

There is a mini-fridge in my office at work

Not in my workshop or gaming room

There is no reason to own a mini fridge unless you are a chilled wine drinker. I don't know, not a wine drinker so maybe that is not even a thing.

If you are so lazy that you cannot climb the steps or walk down the hall to the kitchen refrigerator then I worry about you. Get your steps in!

Yes, but it's not plugged in. I have a proper fridge nearby.

I have a mini fridge in the paining area which is slightly offset from the main gaming area. However, is across the room so I or my father do have to get up and walk to it. This also means that it is not in the gaming area. As for computer games they are played upstairs in the "office" a small 7'x8' room that is considered a bedroom but can barely fit a bed. I have a desk and a small but comfortable sofa in there where I have a laptop set up.

Maxi fridge, against the wall.

LOL!

I bought one a number of years ago, placing it next to my gaming table in the basement. I play RPG's vastly more often than I play miniatures war games. Our sessions typically last 4-6 hours. Everyone loves to have soft drinks and snacks at the table. Disrupting the flow of a game session to run upstairs to get a soda, is too disruptive. Our game sessions occur every 4-6 weeks, and that time is precious to all of us -- some players drive 1.5 hours to get to the sessions.

Do I feel bad about our choices? Never. Cheers!

Yeah, my current gaming table (the big one, the primary one) is below decks, next to the bar (the Fabulous Mermaid Lounge!), so I have two mini-fridge units as part of the bar set up. Beers, wines,some room for soda, water, juice, and my best gins.

I find it handy, and I don't have to worry about anyone spilling liquids going up and down the stairs and landing.
