I've made a lot of changes to my collection in the last six months. I went from 16 vids and 1 pin to 5 vids and 4 pins. The game room is a lot roomier now. It's been awhile since I've taken pictures, so I snapped some today.

The bookcase entrance of course hasn't changed:

With the extra space I gained from selling some of the vids, I was able to make Zombies Ate My Arcade a bit zombier. This fella hangs from a towel rack that I mounted on the ceiling. He's got a motion sensor in his shirt and he "headbangs" and groans when people walk by. I mounted a green LED spotlight on Berzerk to give him a more eerie appearance.

On the other side, I've got this handsome devil hanging from meathooks over Mad Planets and Satan's Hollow. He's got a red spotlight on him and a saw blade in his belly. When people walk by, he screams in pain and flops around as the blade spins. Fun stuff.

That bookcase entrance....just....wow dude. I hate you and want that entrance all at the same time

Either way nice work man, that must have taken forever!
 
The hidden room behind the bookcase has been my favorite project on KLOV by far! And it always makes me laugh when people get rid of cabs to get more pins.. I always said that is crazy and now I am doing it also..haha.. both are awesome but having a few cabs is perfect.. but the more PINS the better. :)
 
Outside of my game room, I've got my pirate bar, where Sea Wolf makes port. I picked up an animatronic Frankenstein's Monster and added him to the mix. Now it's my pirate bar/mixing laboratory:

I recently picked up this cool electric chair guy, who you get to walk past as you approach the bookcase. His hands and head light up as he squirms and screams. My dad (the same badass mofo who helped me build the bookcase) and I built a chair for him out of scrap wood. Then we burned it with a blowtorch over some beers to give it the appropriate look. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Thanks, guys! I also snapped some "lights on" pics to photo some of the decor. It's somewhat eclectic, but mostly horror stuff.

In this pic, you can see my Jason mask, which is signed by a couple of the dudes who played him. I've got in a shadow box that lights up with a flicker effect. On the left is my Tron iPhone player. That sucker puts out some serious juice and serves as my jukebox during parties.

I've got a bunch of Star Wars vehicles hanging from the ceiling. You can spot a couple of them in this pic, along with my signed Berzerk topper:

I'm a big Back to the Future fan. Replica Pit Bull and Slam Bat. "BATTER UP!!!"

Not the best pic, but a close-up of the Evil Dead poster:

Close-up of the Elvira pic. She made it out to me, the wife, and the arcade.

Lastly, Jawhn knows I'm a big horror guy and gave me these cool metal Monster pieces:

Awesomeness....I really like those plates Jawhn gave you, very cool pieces, among an already cool collection. Shades of Richard Garriot's room!
 
That bookcase entrance is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the history of forever. Then you enter your arcade. Damn. Game over, you win.

Nice job.

I LOVE the Day of the Dead poster, signed too. SWEET

Thanks! I went to a horror convention back in '04 and met cast members from the first three "Dead" films. The top section of the poster says something like "First, there was Night of the Living Dead." The second section says "Then came Dawn of the Dead." The third section, obviously is the main part of the poster for Day of the Dead. The actors each signed in the section for their respective film. All very friendly, cool people.


awesome! where did you get the Monsterbash Topper?

Jon

I got it from Pinball Life. I'm pretty sure they're sold out, but they were made by Laseriffic, so if you want one, you may want to contact him through PinSide. I'm sure he'd be willing to do a one-off.


Where did you get that statue?

I don't remember the exact vendor (I think they were based out of FL), but I ordered it online. I always wanted to have a pirate bar in my house, but my ex-wife thought it was stupid. When we split up, the pirate was the first thing I bought. The company only sold to businesses, so I had it sent to the office where I work. Security was very confused when a refrigerator-sized box with a six-foot-tall pirate in it showed up addressed to me.
 
Wow you really did clean house in regards to your videos Dave! Last I heard you were selling off some vids to pick up a Tron pin which I see you did.

Congrats on a great theme and space!! Impressive.

What's funny is that I own 3 of the 5 vids you kept and have been looking for a Mad Planets for more than 3 years. I'd say we have similar taste in games.

Berzerk
Satans Hollow
Sea Wolf

All great games that I never see together in anyone else's arcade but yours and mine.

Sounds like you two should move in together.

I would shit my pants every morning when I got up and had to walk by any of those scary fuckers on the way to the bathroom. I don't like shitting my pants any day, much less every day. Maybe I'll move in next door.
