    Hi Everyone,

    As most of you know, I run a website and co-host a podcast called Gameroom Junkies. The show is geared toward collectors of arcade and pinball games, and the website is the same way-focusing on things found in the gameroom. One thing that I really wanted the website to do when I created it was to capture and document some of the great gamerooms out there. I know we have some forum posts out there that have tons of entries and photos in them, but it is somewhat hefty to wade through and not easy to find at times. What I wanted to do was to really do a top-notch job of writing a "feature article" for each gameroom that talks about the owner, their inspiration, and their setup with the article full of pictures to really give each gameroom a chance to be in the limelight. However, it seems that people have stopped submitting their gamerooms to be showcased.

    Therefore, I need your help. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send in stories and photos so I can properly showcase your hard work for all to see. I used to give shirts away to those featured on the site, but I ran out of those. This time, instead of a shirt, I'll give away one of my minimalist arcade posters to those folks featured on the website. Additionally, at the end of the year, I hold a contest for "Gameroom of the Year" where gamerooms that have already been featured are eligible to be voted on for the title. I give away prize packs and certificates to the 1st-3rd winners.

    To see some examples of my gameroom showcase write-ups, click here: http://gameroomjunkies.com/index.php/category/gameroom-showcase/

    To submit your own gameroom, fill out the short form here:
    http://gameroomjunkies.com/index.php/share-your-gameroom/

    Lastly, if you're already a podcast listener, we're looking for feedback. If you've listened to the show, could you please take a small moment of your time to fill out a short 10-question survey so we can make our show better?

    Thanks again for all your support. This is a total labor of love that I do to give back to the hobby that I enjoy so much.

    @ TomT - Good name, Tom! Great gameroom!

    @tsveng - thanks for the head's up. Looks like I forgot to check a box in setup. Unfortunately too late. If you click something else then write in the "other" field it will work. Sorry, my bad.

    @Nevus - Thanks for listening!

    @Black_Rose - Not sure if I follow, but no, we haven't yet gone in to people's homes. People just send us pictures. I wish I could travel to all these places with a little cash in hand though.

    We've only had 3 people step up to the plate and submit their gameroom, but over 35 people have taken the survey - thanks! Keep 'em coming!

    Hey, Thanks! We just released a new episode last week with none other than Pinsider "Oliva" as one of our guests on the show. Check out the episode here: http://gameroomjunkies.com/index.php/2012/12/10/podcast-episode-23-the-video-craze/

    We're still accepting gameroom submissions or user-submitted content for the podcast or website, but the survey is closed.

    Also, we've had some requests for us to review products or announce pinball event information on the podcast - we'd be happy to. Just shoot us an email at [email protected] . You can also snail-mail us stuff to our P.O. Box. (Box 2941, Gainesville, GA 30501)

    Thanks for all the support!
