Ok, so I have finally reached the end of my little rope here. I have currently exhausted all available resources to get the funding for my Game Store I was starting save for a few others; I'm not holding my breath.

The reason being is that even to get any amount of credit, or any hope of ever getting credit for that matter, you must have a substantial amount of start-up money yourself. I've got a half decent job, but as it stands now, it would take me ages to come up with it on my own. Which is unfotrunate; my target market is begging me to open the store, but the target market also doesn't have the kind of scratch collectively to get it off the ground.

So, until further notice, it's on hold. But fear not; this ain't no Duke Nukem Forever.

I am holding off for now until the loan market gets into a better position for me to get what I need. This is really a huge blow, not just for me, but for many other local people who were hoping to get in on this and be apart of something big. I feel as if I have let down a large number of friends, both here on Destructoid and locally in my town. But them's the breaks.

So, what's next? More research and planning. I may not be getting any money, but I'll be damned if I don't attempt to put myself in a better position to start this up when the timing is better. God willing, I'll have our first LAN tourney sometime next year.

And now, I'll shut up about it. It doesn't put me in a good mood at all, and I really don't feel well today anyways (still sort of in my Turkey Coma). But, if anyone has any questions or wants to know more about it, shoot me an e-mail; I'll be happy to divulge all my tasty secrets about the store and marketing bits I have uncovered.

I want to thank all of you here at Destructoid for the support in getting this thing moving. What started out as a drunken tirade has transformed into something awesome; and it WILL happen. Just not soon.
