^^^^Haha I had to squint for a minute there, I was like is that chic just sitting there nude in the booth? My inner Quagmire came out-Gigidy Gigidy

Yes I dig it as well

Is it a vinyl print or hand painted? If vinyl how large are the prints-I would love to do my walls with custom prints.

More info please

Wow I can't believe how well it is painted, I almost felt stupid asking the question because I thought there was no way they could get that detail painting by hand. Awesome job! I do think if someone did some large vinyl wall art-they would do well.

Wow Bud-looks stellar!

You are really blowing it up, I like how you set them up at a slightly different angle/offset-looks good. I also like your industrial cup holders-very cool!

Looks like foundation guys screwed up with layout during pour? Cant see if 2x12 Header has been notched around it? I love the sliced up glu-lam toenailed into subfloor-wtf I would probably get a concrete cutting company to come out and remove & make sure your Header is good and not notched.

Can I see some pics and explanation of lights installed. I was going to redo mine and use crown molding but after seeing yours I like the square look better(looks more modern). -Thanks in advance

-Also wondering why someone would thumbs down your pic of gameroom-super lame!

I can just picture your neighbors walking by with their dog-"Holy shit look at that guys garage-it looks like Dave and Busters! " -Good stuff!

That is amazing and truly a work of art. Do you mind if I ask how much it cost to commission?

That is awesome!

-Dude your place is turning into Dave and Busters-love it!

Need to put a sign outside your garage that says 'Rave and Hustlers Arcade'

Nice

I like to see someone else that has added a sub to TNA-Feel the Bass!

When I have guest over-they are literally blown away. I have it in an enclosed room and it reverbs off the walls-I do have it cranked up pretty high

I think your wife is even cooler than my wife

-As for the black carpet I would love to see how it looks? I prefer plush carpet for gamerooms, I notice a huge difference playing in my rooms with plush carpet v.s. concrete. After 15 minutes playing on concrete-I can start to feel it in my back and feet. Go with a good carpet pad as well-you get what you pay for. Please post pics if you do black, I have seen dark gray and it looks good as well.

It looks fantastic and very sharp. The carpet looks great! -Nice job

Don't put up that big vinyl poster you had in the last room-keep it classy. I may recommend a couple of large chandelier's to hang down from the middle with warm bulbs that are dimmable. Did I mention I love the carpet color-way to be different and it looks cool. Your back will thank you later for putting in carpet.

How are you going to set up your pins in the room? Thinking it may be best to set them up in middle back to back in line with center of ceiling with vids and other games on exterior walls?

I have always scratched my head with pachinko machines? Such a novelty, I thought maybe the Chinese like to just look at bright lights and little balls moving around. People seem fascinated by them but I think they are fugly and useless, get a slot machine or dart board that actually functions as a game imo.

They should be fine(but easy to move-may add another row in middle?)-I would just make sure you a have dimmer switch and dimmable LEDs. When I play I dim them down and have little reflection while playing. I may be more concerned about not having floating walls for the basement and movement causing cracks in new drywall.

I have been watching the progression and it turned out awesome. Really like the colors chosen and the depiction of your father is great. What a fun way to advertise to your customer base.

A fellow pinsider has a cool crane machine and he put little bottles of liquor in it. I wonder if you could lay some little bottles of liquor on top of coins that would push out as well. Little bottles of Jack Daniels would have me playing the crap out of it to get one. -Just a thought

Amazing collection-you have games I have never seen before

Like the tissue paper roll front and center on the movie lounge chair. You must have a wife who likes to watch tear jerking movies like my wife?

I would recommend can lighting with dimmable soft LEDs. Track lighting looks cheap and out of place to me. I have zero issues with glare and I can always dim them down.

I just purchased the new Lutron Sunnata sensitive touch dimmer switch for my gameroom and it is really awesome. You can get the dimmer on Amazon or any box store for $40-well worth it and highly recommend(one of the best things I have bought for gameroom).

Lots of crazy unpredictable weather lately and I am afraid it is only going to continue with our sporadic weather patterns. I would get prepared for if it happens again by having a back up plan for emergency. I would get an industrial pool draining pump with high gpm flow rate with large hose(Tsurumi). I would then buy a small Honda generator for a back up power supply and then I would put the arcade games up on something like rolling casters from Harbor Freight.

I also have a recommendation for smaller spaces without can lights. I purchased a LED RGB ceiling light with remote control from Amazon for my daughters room remodel and now I have put them in multiple rooms. They sit flat with ceiling and have a remote that can control cool/soft dimmable LED and colored RGB. Sometimes I like to get in the vibe and I will set the color to green to play Creature,etc. Cheap on Amazon(under $40) and a really awesome light for gamerooms,etc.

Be very careful filing for water damage with an insurance agency. Depending on the extent of damage you may want to determine if it is worth going through insurance. Factors like deductible and future premium rate increases may have you thinking otherwise. As long as you get it dried out right away to avoid mold issues a lot of that work can be done easily and the arcade games are common and can be replaced. Spend thousands now to fix it or pay the insurance company thousands in years to come for increased premiums-catch 22 situation. Had my mothers ice maker leak and ruin hardwoods-now her rate is double what mine is as she was put on a blacklist.

Sorry it happened really sucks and my gut hurts looking at those arcades sitting in water
