Saint has been making a homebrew particle accelerator in his gameroom...It took up so much power that the forums went down...

hypernova · « **Reply #163 on:** October 17, 2006, 05:21:32 pm »

That's fine. Just so long as he's not making artificial black holes.

ChadTower · « **Reply #164 on:** October 17, 2006, 08:24:46 pm »

I say it doesn't even matter. He started a thread to have people guess, gave few hints, and never gave out the answer. What was the point?

patrickl · « **Reply #165 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:36:08 am »

maybe it's for a lowered ceiling with a starry sky pattern cut out?

saint · « **Reply #166 on:** October 18, 2006, 01:21:47 pm »

It's on hold for a few weeks due to some personal issues.

Zakk · « **Reply #167 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:46:27 pm »

Yeah, he personally thinks Chad is a dick.

ChadTower · « **Reply #168 on:** October 19, 2006, 07:56:35 am »

Wouldn't surprise me at all. It may actually surprise me if he didn't.

WaRpEd · « **Reply #169 on:** November 04, 2006, 07:58:41 pm »

It's been a couple of weeks when will we see the elevated MAG-LEV train pics.

Curiuos about some progress.

Its a device for Uranium enrichment, and it is "on hold" due to UN sanctions.

Paladin · « **Reply #171 on:** November 16, 2006, 08:28:14 am »

I know I'm not the first to guess, but I think the elevated train is the correct answer.

My wife Melissa, the BYOAC wood carver has a grandfather in Union, IL. He has THE most amazing HO display you have ever seen. Complete with hand painted figures, cars, planes, streets, towns, wildlife, rivers and even the city of Chicago and on and on. It is like umpteen miles of scaled track and like umpteen different lines running. He is retired and makes a supplemetal income from showing it. He is right down the street from The real Train Museum in Union, IL. Model train fan? If you are ever in that neighborhood, stop in and look during Summer months. It is all nestled in the upper level of his Big Red Barn. Must see for model railroaders in the area.

I regret to say I don't have a single photo to post right now and dang in-laws haven't made this poor guy a website...If I was closer to him I would at least do him up with with a 5 pager in an afternoon. I will try to track down a photo or two to share and post here.

Easily accesible off of I-90 about 1/2 way between Chicago and Rockford, Il.

Well the only thing I can think of is Saint is doing a modified version of the hanging train above except running it along the walls. Not sure if this was mentioned previously as I have not read the entire post (just looked at Saints responses after the second page to see if he has given it away).

BTW, nice gameroom.

Heh. I'm *really* close. Really close. It's been on the back burner a bit. I'm experimenting with different paints right now . . .

Look, paint experimentation is no good for anyone. The fumes may give you a nice high, but the damage to your brain tissue just isn't worth it!!!! JUST SAY NO!

I just have to say this thread has included some of the funniest ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I've ever read. You guys are friggin' hilarious.

Now if I could just get my wife to understand why I'm on here so much, life would be easier. That's probably as futile an effort as trying to get her to appreciate Monty Python, though.

mpm32 · « **Reply #188 on:** April 25, 2007, 10:42:04 am »

Update? Even if not finished, at least tell us what it is. I could protest by not posting anymore cheesecake - but I won't,

yet.

vorghagen · « **Reply #190 on:** May 03, 2007, 02:13:53 am »

Saint, please tell us what you're doing.
We've guessed a multitude of things, we've given each other ideas for our own gamerooms, we've argued about the guesses, we've argued about the ideas. I think think we've also been quite patient.... but we'd really like to know you're up to.

For those of you who have just joined us. For those of you who have lost track. A quick recap of Saint's posts in this thread.

Aug 19 2006 - Saint started, announced it, told us to guess then told us we were wrong
Aug 20 2006 - We're still guessing, we're still wrong, but chad is close with "5 black boards" & MYX is closer with "indirect light idea with some new alien technology for cool looking glow"
Aug 28 2006 - Saint confesses he's not doing anything, just fishing for ideas.
- then announces more progress, with pictures, "What in the heck am I doing?"
- we get a clue "combines more than 1 hobbie/passion"
Somehere here a train set is mentioned....... a lot.
Aug 29 2006 - "Hmm... I *do* own trains...."
Sep 06 2006 - "I'd guess I'm about 40% through with the project so far"
Sep 23 2006 - Saint has hurt his shoulder, ribs, head in Jujitsu. Hopes to make progress soon.
Oct 18 2006 - Now on hold due to personal issues.
Dec 08 2006 - Saint thinks the elevated train pics that Paladin posted are "cool". Everyone agrees.
Feb 28 2007 - Apparently he's "really close now. Experimenting with different paints.
Mar 01 2007 - Saint is now scared he might become a realtor.
May 03 2007 - A little over 8 months after beginning, we still don't know what Saint is up to. There have been many guesses ranging from a marquee lightbox to a poledancing stage. If one of them was right, we weren't told.

So please...... Mr. Saint..... sir...... if you would be so kind.......... WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING?

saint · « **Reply #191 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:05:30 am »

Ah ha! My master plan is working. Soon everyone will volunteer to come do the work for me just so they can see what I'm up to!

bfauska · « **Reply #192 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:15:53 pm »

Are you building a way to display various marquees around the room w/ back lighting? That kind of fits the hints, althoug I am not sure about the multiple hobbies hint, woodworking and arcades? It sounded like a cool idea in another thread and now looking at the parts you had mounted in the last picture it seems like you could be doing that.

Naru · « **Reply #193 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:44:34 pm »

Hey saint!
I downloaded your game room
video. That's so awesome.
The sounds of that room take
me back to the glory days.
Anyhow, if you got the time,
could you make
a video clip of your game room
with the lights on.
That way I can show the woman the future
of our home.

I'm guessing train track with rope lighting added to light the train and double as indirect lighting. Also some modeling done in the corners for coolness by looking at the size of the corner pieces. Room for a mountain terrain or station etc.

I'll also throw in this link for those that get to the end of this 5 pages which leads nowhere, here is some more reading.
