SO I finally decided to call the store, "Made of Win, LLC". This particular meme is sort of a staple inside joke around here. I use it frequently in that one game, Real Life, and people always get a laugh or two out of it. I think it will stand out on a nice big sign in front fo the store.
And while we are on the subject of stores, I seem to have found a suitable location to place the store now. It isn't very big, but it does work to our advantage because of the stupid amount of parking it has for such a small building. My only concern is it isn't exactly in the perfect location for this, but to be honest, the perfect location for this is a small treasure trove of cash on top of an undiscovered oil well.
I am now finished with ALL market research, including surveys. The surveys went pretty good, and I'd like to thank our Wal-Mart and our GameStop for sealing their own fates. /snicker
I am now into the cost-estimate phase of this, and now I'm really starting to see how much it's gonna cost. And it will cost a lot. But I am framing the check stub of my 10 grand in video games purchase. That's always been sort of a fantasy of mine; spending an irresponsibly large amount of money on gaming.
I don't have any pictures still, which sucks, cause I'd like for you guys to see what's up.
As for the naming contest, the winner was Nex with The Save Point, which will now be displayed, in all it's glory, above the bathrooms. This may sound like a pile of crap (which it might be), but on the surveys, The Save Point actually did the worst; the question was, Which of these names sounds most like a gaming store to you? a) The Save Point b)Replay Value c) Made of Win or d)Game Hall.
Made of Win coincidentally made the best, and the idea for the name was given to me by my older brother/assistant manager. Thanks to all who participated. Stay tuned when this Friday, I will form a raid group to tackle the hardest instance of Real Life; the Bank!

I didn't even think about RROD till a BS3 fanboy asked me about it. I think that's the first and last time I will ever take a fanboy's advice. Ever.
