When I got my first pin (WH20), I was just a guy with a pinball machine, it was a novelty. Now that I got my second machine (thanks jvegas, Sylvain, and hippochrome!), I am now a pinball guy! My friends can clearly tell now that it has become a hobby. I now predict pinball references in speeches given at my wedding this summer. I even heard a rumour that my brother/best man is gonna skip giving a speech, and now plans on writing a song to the tune of Pinball Wizard instead. OMG, what have I become?

Another cool thing:
I had my White Water up for sale, and I bought a 2nd machine, because I started to get bored of it. This weekend I played a lot out of my new pin (The Shadow), then went back to play WH20 for a break, and it was a BLAST! It was really weird, it now felt unique and different. Now that I have two pins to go back and forth between, they have both benefited. It's an odd phenomenon to describe. Has anyone else noticed this when they doubled their collection from 1 to 2? Should I expect this to continue if I get a 3rd? (which I don't plan on for a LONG time)

when they're 2, they start to multiply

You have two great playing pins there I enjoy both of those machine quite a bit in my collection.  Wh20 has some of the best ramps in pinball.

love the dog on those combos

I had 1 and it multiplied! It must use asexual reproduction.

Long is a relative term

Stop it! You guys are such enablers! If my fiancee ever read this board, she'd kick all your butts.

welcome aboard  

My name is Sylvain, and i wanted "one" pinball machine in my "garage" 4 years ago.. i thought it would be cool  

Any chance of pins / gameroom items entering the wedding registery???  

I have 4 machines, and I notice I usually play one exclusively for a while, and when I go back to a different machine it feels like it's a new experience all over again.

Of course...I started with just one...

I bought one and then bought 2 more within 3 months...now i am out of money.
