Mojozone, your comments are darn funny!!

Quoted from jtimmons:Is it bad that I chose to buy pinball machines instead of finishing my basement?
I thought that WAS how to finish a basement.

Quoted from PinRaider:How did you get the Star Tribune vendor?
You can usually find one sitting around on a street corner. Are they not free to take?

Thanks Bryan,
Never get tired of looking at these ... but there's been changes, and we need to see 'em. So get that camera and start snappin'

It was in the basement of a local convenience store I did work for. It was about a month old and the Star Trib decided not to use it anymore. They just never came back to get it. It took me a good six months before I could talk the owner into selling it to me.

Quoted from PinRaider:Great room, I like the paint stripes on the walls. How did you get the Star Tribune vendor?
How about a gameroom....corner ... ? Kinda don't have my own gameroom - YET. Air Force housing at the rate I'm getting is great, but the sacrifice is no man cave ._. ....for now! Even got the appropriate shirt for owning pins - a Life is Good shirt that says "Mr. Fix It" on the front with a drill.
And it's true - life is good. Now go play some pinball!
Quoted from schwarz:Now that's a threesome I could get down with.
Wouldn't that be four-some if you got involved....

Man, you guys have some flat-out amazing gamerooms, and in some cases, game buildings!!!
Here's a video of my game room, which features a secret, "haunted" book case entrance that my dad helped me build about a year ago. The room was added by the previous owners, so the doorway used to simply be a wall at the end of the house. It was the perfect candidate for such a project. If you pull a particular book, the book case opens up and you can enter the game room. Additionally, 4 of the shelves are motorized. Books slide forward and back on the shelves "by themselves," giving the illusion that ghosts are moving them. It was a pretty wild project:
Here's a pic of the book case from the outside:
My game room is mostly video games (the most pins I ever had at once was 3), but I feel the pin bug biting me again for the first time in years, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I start swapping out some vids for more pins. Here are some pics of my game room:

That's really really cool, that book shelve and the arcade too.
Thanks, everybody! That bookcase project was a total blast. I eventually plan to do some other "haunted house" type enhancements to my game room and house, so I'll post updates as that stuff takes shape.

very cool!
"THE BIRTH OF A GAME ROOM"
Got this house in 2007 with a bitchin' 1960's kitchen... right. Then I trashed the kitchen, cut down a wall to make a small bar, converted the dining room to a game room (wife's suggestion B.I.O.N.) and poof, here it was...
Also threw in a couple shots of my garage game room/shop. Love this hobby.

Awesome rooms and your wife sounds like a keeper

Quoted from pinster68:Thanks guys. Yeah, the wife's a keeper. And I even admitted having an affair with the Hooter's girl pictured in my shop photo. She didn't believe me. At least I was honest.
