Quoted from ChrisPINk25:That’s an arcade 1up. A small stool works perfect to sit and play.
It’s actually a mini Galaga scratch build of my friends with a 60 in 1. Great for the kids. Plus, it’s hilarious watching adults try to play it haha.
Quoted from JayDee:What is that mini galaga? Do you play on your knees?

I really like the boxes for your translites! Did you make those or buy them somewhere?
This is the temporary game room as we are in the process of renovating an 1850’s Victorian home in Wilmington DE. The actual game room will be able to accommodate 7 or 8 Pins plus a couple Arcades. Though my proudest feature is that I have an actual urinal!

Yup!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who is surrounded by women that would rather yap than play pinball!

Small little update to my game room. Yesterday while running a tournament I got a cool gift from a fellow pinball player louknees , he game me a THQ Vanilla Ice Doll to add to my "Ice House". I host tournaments at my house, and during the most recent tournament which was held 2 weeks ago he noticed the "Ice House" and decided to give me one of his thousands of collectibles he has. Pretty cool gift and I can't wait to set it up in the "Ice House".

Best bathroom ever......Seriously. 
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Best bathroom ever......Seriously.
Oftentimes when you have a "thing" like that going, more cool stuff will sort of automatically come your way when different people see your collection. There's something about it that makes people want to give you more things that relate to your collection. That is just one of the cool things about life in general. Ice on.

Back in late 1998 I was at the Northgate mall in Seattle. Walked into a Sam Goody (rip) for some reason despite never buying music at big chain music stores. On one rack they had a couple dozen CDs still in the old school longbox packaging. One was a copy of "To the Extreme." To my 26 year old mind, it was the funniest shit ever. I hemmed and hawed. I walked around the store carrying it for a bit, but then 26 year old me remembered that he didn't really have a lot of disposable income for dumb crap like that. Besides. I assumed when it stopped being funny in 10 minutes I'd have some buyers remorse, and what the hell was I gonna do with a copy of an album I didn't like that I specifically couldn't even open anyway?
21 years later, and I now know why I should have bought it. Just to wait until pinside came around, until I saw a load of pics of a complete strangers bathroom. Then I could send a PM, get an address and mail it off to it's rightful place. Damn it. Sorry, djreddog. I failed you.
(Though I did buy a VHS copy of "Cool as Ice" a few months later on Ebay and laughed my ass off at it for years. Yo, wassup wit tomorrow?)
Quoted from beepbeep:All out of space now after picking up my LE Monster Bash, guess I'll need to find a bigger house to fit more pins in someday. But these 3 will keep me busy for a while. [quoted image]
I think 3 is the perfect number! It's my goal. At two now.
Quoted from Mr_Outlane:I think 3 is the perfect number! It's my goal. At two now.
That's exactly what I thought
till I saw perfection in 5!
Quoted from rollitover:That's exactly what I thought

Yeah I can see 3, no 4, well maybe 5.

It's funny how we all have a number in mind for how many pins we want in our house and usually some of us exceed that number and put pins in places we never thought we would.

U are correct!!!
Quoted from beepbeep:We all have a number in mind for how many pins we want in our house and usually exceed that number.
I configured my game room to hold a dozen pins. I had 15 then, so my least favorite three were bumped to the back of the basement.
Then I bought Stern Mustang premium in 2014 and reconfigured my game room to squeeze it in. I was really happy with the result.
Now I have Elvira's House of Horrors LE sitting there NIB and there is nothing I can do to fit it in the game room.
Still a work in progress, with a little bit of everything. I’d like to add a 60 in 1 cocktail table in the future along with a mame cabinet!

I'm limiting my collection by moving the pins into a smaller space in my warehouse where i live.
There's room for four in the front where we sit and the rear room will hold 16-20.
Work started on the weekend, i cleaned out the shelving and stock that was in there and moved it to the other end of the shed.
Power circuit went in yesterday and then the artist Ash Johston turned up;

Quoted from Zablon:And then 7...and so forth!
Yep, already eye-balling
all that space my couch takes up.
So, what you guy's are saying is I'm hopelessly afflicted with this disease then? 
The scary thing is, I have room for 5. More if I dump the Gym! 
Standing and flipping is good exercise right?

I never thought I would get rid of my gym but I finally did. Now I just use a couple kettlebells and a pull-up bar. More room for games!
Quoted from Mr_Outlane:I think 3 is the perfect number! It's my goal.
3 is all I am allowed, in the house, hehehehehe!

Quoted from Bundy:After removing the limiting factor I can now have as many as I want.
A divorce will do that (remove the limiting factor).
