Well, a game would be paused first, so there would be no problems ruining anyone's game. Besides, it's usually just me and I can't play and look at a website at the same time :D

Still, it's just a matter of convenience since the TV is better for games and the monitor is better for doing most other tasks like what I mentioned above. Thanks for letting me know for sure about MAME though. And I hope there are some console ones that do the same.
