I just wanted to let you know that my new arcade wing is nearly complete. This new little space-themed room was a huge hit at my party Saturday, and it was cool to peak in and see the backs of 5-7 souls enjoying the games pretty much all night. This was the inspiration for the '1 room, 8 games' thread. A huge thanks to Chris25810, as he spent his whole Friday night helping me move games, clean the place, fix a monitor, restore a game or 2 in the shop and drink, all in the span of 10-12 hours. Once everything was in place, we realized we would actually only be able to fit 7 games in the little room comfortably. This was also the inspiration for the 'arcade games and corners' thread, and as you can see in the pics, I went with the 'run one wall of games to the end, leave space to play the last game' trick. We tried the 'angle the corner game' trick first, but it logistically failed on all levels. It wastes too much space, and creates a situation where the corner game is nearly unplayable, as the rows of games on either side of it stick out in front of the corner game too far on both sides. It was also the inspiration for the 'wallpapering sucks' and 'Interior Space Ship pics' thread, and you can see the 'Earth view from the Lunar Surface' mural my brother in law and I put up 2 days before the party. You can also see my attempt at creating the interior walls and windows of a space station observation lounge. Pics:
