I love that. Would rather see that then the generic paper sleeve with a name on it.

I don't even see their commercials on TV anymore, so "people being generally stupid" is the only reason I can think of, for why they're still open. I actually worked for them on two different occasions, pulling Christmastime shifts in '99 and '06. The first time around it wasn't too bad; they still resembled FuncoLand a lot, and treated most customers fairly. But by the time I came back, the insanity was in full swing...and I haven't shopped there much since. I think the last purchase I made was my used copy of "Metroid Prime Trilogy", and that was over a year ago.

I don't have many options where I live to find some cheap games to add to my collection. As bad as Gamestop is I still like to stop in and do a couple preorders and chat with the guys that work there. One of which is a really cool guy that I share alot of interests with. Even ran into him at Emerald City Comic Con this year which we live several states away from, weird.

I have also found quite a few hard to find games which is when I bust out the $10 off coupon and get a rare game for really cheap. For example I have found both CIB Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and Digimon World Dusk. I think I ended up paying $15 for each at the time.

I live a couple states over in Montana. I wish I lived in Seattle. Maybe in a few years I will find myself there. I have been there a few times for work and for vacation. It is surprisingly cheap to fly from Bozeman to Seattle. Thinking of going again this year for Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

RealPlumpBox:
oh Ok thats cool! If you are ever in town let me know we can grab a drink or something. Hit up a Barcade (i hate that term). Also I went to Portland Retro Expo in 2012 it was cool.

marioxb:
Had no idea that was a thing. There is one here in Columbus Ohio called 16 bit, but I thought it was a one of a kind. Sucks for non drinkers like me. Rather go to Dave and Busters.
