    Quoted from PinballBulbs:

    This is sooo sweet. Love how the basement itself plays into the whole theme. Does the sink at the bar hve water hooked up to as well?

    Yes sir, there is water and a mini fridge.

    Well done. Both my wife and I love your style, and that's hard to do.

    That's a GREAT name for it! I might have to get a neon sign made...with your permission of course

    I've been watching this from the beginning and it just amazes me how awesome it turned out. Great job!

    Thank you, I really appreciate that!

    That is what I think you should name it !! I will be pissed if you don't

    #160 9 years ago

    Very nice.... You have good taste

    #161 9 years ago

    Boy I gotta tell you when you first started I was thinking... I don't no,,,, but boy, you sure sucked me in. That turned out freaking awesome! I never would have figured a raw unfinished basement would turn out so excellent!
    I second the opinion of the name " Pinball Asylum " is just perfect. congratulations!

    Lol, basically everyone who saw it thought the exact same way. People would look at me kind of like I was crazy...which is true of course. Thus the need for an asylum

    #163 9 years ago

    Great Job!!

    #164 9 years ago
    Quoted from smokey_789:

    Totally rad--I see a used play field siting there--watcha gonna do with it?

    Good question. I was thinking about lighting it up and hanging it as wall art, or maybe a coffee table.

    #165 9 years ago

    Awesome job.Silence of The Lambs.Creepy and cool.

    #166 9 years ago

    That space is INCREDIBLE! Nice work!

    #167 9 years ago

    Very nice and cozy. I do recommend you move the dart board. Any bounce outs could hit your LOTR and scratch the cabinet.

    #168 9 years ago

    Amazing job!!!

    #169 9 years ago

    This has to be the coolest game room I've ever seen.

    VERY well done !!!

    #170 9 years ago

    Looks great man! I need to swing by and check it out in person sometime!

    #171 9 years ago

    To say I am impressed would be an understatement....fantastic looking space you have....Nice work

    #172 9 years ago

    Outstanding. I figured it would come out neat but wow. I may want to hire you to come redo my gameroom. I like the name "The Asylum" without the pinball. I love pinball but has a more bar-ish sound to it and that's the look you've clearly nailed. This looks like the kind of bar I would love.

    Hopefully you've had some fun in there already.

    #173 9 years ago

    Just read thru your whole thread. Very classy place. What a difference.
    Wish you were in Columbia, MO instead of Columbia, TN. We'd have to be good friends.
    Looks like an awesome place to hang out with so much character!
    Well done!

    please teach me how to become rich

    #176 9 years ago

    Congrats- came out awesome! Actually looks bigger with the pins and table in there!

    #178 9 years ago

    I would consider moving the dart board from the tv area....one wrong throw.....

    Other than that, I'm mad jealous, came out better that I couldve imagined from start to finish!

    #179 9 years ago

    Is that the new AC/DC widebody pin? Great game room. One of the best I have ever seen.

    #180 9 years ago

    That is a really cool looking game room.

    #181 9 years ago

    Looks great. I need to come over and put my initials up on your TWDLE.

    #182 9 years ago

    Every time I see a picture of someone else's game room that has, say, eight pins, it looks extravagant. Somehow, my own pins don't look that way to me...

    #183 9 years ago

    Real classy... Excellent~

    Haha, no, but the 14/24 mm lens I took the pic with makes it look that way

    Lol, I'm not an expert in that by any means, but I try and treat everyone like family, and that generally has led to good things.

    #186 9 years ago

    This room is just amazing. It looked great before all the stuff was in there, but man, that really REALLY looks fantastic now.

    Very well done!

    Chris

    #187 9 years ago

    Wow, just wow. Coolest room ever!

    #188 9 years ago

    Beautiful - it looks really awesome!!

    #189 9 years ago

    Congrats on a very, very nice basement game room.

    #190 9 years ago

    Great job!! Bringing the WOZ down the steps must have been fun

    Love how the light from the pins light up the ceiling.

    Looks better than what I imagined when I looked at the first pictures.

    If I could have done one thing different I think I would have painted the floor too, maybe gray.

    I guess it's all about taste... I love that floor!

    #196 9 years ago

    We thought about painting it, but instead went with a stain and seal route because I liked the look of the coal dust and thought that was kind if a nod to the basement's original purpose.

    #197 9 years ago

    Your room turned out awesome!

    I love the floor choice, really looks great!

    #198 9 years ago

    It sure is amazing. I too wondered about the result based on the first picture. I'm blown away. Being done for some time, how much you using it?

    #199 9 years ago

    Fantastic!
