Small Town Gamers

I live in a town about an hour away from the Florida line. It's a small town and I love it. One big gripe about small towns. The severe lack of game stores. You have very little options other than: Ebay, going out of town, and local big box stores (in my area is only Walmart). About 2 years ago, the fog lifted and came Rhino's. For those who are familar with the store, Rhino's was a console only store. Which the denizens of the town didn't mind because they came in droves to shop there. We were straving for a store and parked our butts to it like many of our buffet steakhouses. I even had the chance to follow my dream and work there. However after a minor disagreement (the agreement that whether he was a douchebag or not) and I ended up quitting. At last, like many stores like it, it was gobbled up by Gamestop and more d-baggery followed. A few months later, a guy came down and opened up a mom & pop outfit near my house and go there every now and again. I have hope that more mom & pop outfits open up and give this Gamestop a run for its money. Now, my town doesn't feel so small. I'm praying for Best Buy/Circuit City/both next.

I love local game stores. They are so much better than the big name competitors. You can get the good retro stuff there.
