Even if you're joking, you should since the place near you seems to be selling stuff really cheap! bean breath imports.
I always see people on gaf post about how they wish they didn't have gamestop and had a nearby mom and pop store to give their business to and not get ripped off. And I wonder if those people have ever been to a mom and pop video game store because every mom and pop game store i've been to makes gamestop look like sister therese
yeah like that's gonna fill 100,000 seats.

Are you a retro gamer too, Mr. Luchador?

Went into a thrift store and found a $5 PS1 and free piano. If they're still there in a month, they're mine and life will be good <3

Mom and pop stores near me always used to sell new games at a premium markup and had no qualms about ripping you off. They were definitely worse than Gamestop.
It's pretty hit-and-miss with some stores in my area.
Like there's a CGX in the mall that will have like "new" PS3 games for full price (so $50/60), whereas I could scoot across the road to Movie Trading Company and pick up the same thing "new" for like $20/30.
Yeah.
There is a local retro game store near me that has a lot of old stuff, and they're fairly decent on their prices compared to some other stores.
(Usually on par or better than GS depending on how old/popular the game is.)
Funny enough, we used to have like 3 Gamestops then they closed one down (I think it was effectively losing money), and the other two are clear across town from each other.
Looking for games has never been easier though since in those days, we were limited to pretty much either the big brand stores, Gamestop, or Hastings (which had shitty prices on most stuff). Or a Pawn Shop, which was a crapshoot.

I assume they all had these romantasised versions of such a store, a humble hovel with a loveable owner who'd deal out games before the release date and offer deals to his loyal shoppers.
You know instead of the much more likely charging an extra fiver to try and help make ends meet.

I like most TNA fans, but the ones in denial, have you guys apologized to TMZ for your insanity last year yet?

Welp, I went to go dig out my NES from storage to hook up to my 13" Sony Trinitron CRT TV that I just hooked up and low and behold, my PS2 was packed in there with it too. I thought I had gotten rid of it with all my other handheld systems but apparently not. Looks like I'm back in the PSX saddle.
A good deal must be in denial and angry knowing TNA could be ending in 4 months.

I try to be, but not to the extent of the pros here on NeoGAF.com. I have a modest PS1 collection at best. I do regret trading in all my SNES and N64 stuff though to buy Christmas presents for family.

The TLDR version is there's an entire forum/"news" site called TNA Mecca that is dedicated to and in complete love with TNA, and they treat every negative thing as bullshit. They think the ratings are great, and they famously called the TMZ and Dave stuff about Spike pulling them bullshit right up until the last episode aired, and then when DA picked TNA up they said that's what they needed all along because Spike never promoted them and DA obviously would. They're treating the current reports the exact same way, saying the move to Wednesdays is fine and what they needed all along, and harassing Dave on Twitter and email about it.
Only reason I wouldn't call it denial is because at this point it's a lot sadder than that word is usually associated with.
One has to wonder what TNA even did to deserve such worship. They treat their talent like shit, famously underpaying them. They fire them on a whim when they get too expensive. They pushed washed up old guys ahead of TNA originals at every turn. They are straight up murdering guys that WWE wouldn't even dare to put in the ring due to overall wear and tear already breaking them and even have no problem making straight up drug addicts their biggest stars, letting WWE pay for their rehab instead of stepping up to the plate themselves. Their boss is a southern belle only using the company in an attempt to become famous, and she will literally bring the company down with her instead of selling it to ensure it survival. And then they also regularly don't pay staff and/or talent for several months, expecting them to work out of good will instead.
I'd be ashamed to champion such a company really.

They think it's lies Meltzer tells because he hates the business and especially good woman Dixie Carter, and at least 3 users have called for him to be sued for it, one of whom also openly called for his death (think he was pressured into editing that part though). I think at some point of liking TNA you either go full crazy or just lose shame.
And someone at the site very recently compared the TNA fanbase to minorities being unfairly treated by the news media.
TNA is the proverbial new girlfriend you date just to make your ex jealous. A lot of them love TNA just out of spite for WWE. It's their own ECW and they want to treat it as such.

Yep. Great angle.
TNA puts out a decent product every week. It's biggest problems are a lack of star power, being a TV only product but with production values of a bad live touring product, and that the breakneck pace made famous by Vince Russo is still the standard; too many gimmick matches, short matches with everything crammed in, no real breaks between matches.
ugh I was meant to be heading out tonight with some friends to catch Mad Max and hit the clubs but I just feel super super shitty. Been tied to a desk for the last 7 days in a row for 9+ hours. I know I need to be getting more exercise in but when I get home I'm so drained I can't be arsed doing anything at all.
Have I got any office work bros in here to empathize?
EDIT: At least this means I'll probably watch Payback......ugh

I can watch Raw every week live for free. I could. I don't.
That and weirdos with an irrational hate of the WWE would be my best guess. Jeff Hardy fans too.
Yes, but that's at home and on TV.....this is live wrasslin and anyone who has seen wrasslin live knows it's 10x better than on TV...and TNA's actual wrestling has never been the problem.

Stanning for a company is a bad look for anyone. Corporations don't give a fuck about you
The Cena-Rusev story has to come to a close. If Rusev wins, it doen't close the book on the angle and just means there will be a fourth consecutive damn match between those two. WWE does this a lot and it's terrible. Surely Lana is turning soon to become Kelly Kelly of the modern era, and losing causes Rusev to look pretty mild. You'd have to think where he even goes after this - a nothing feud with Orton probably.
Yeah....and no.
The one that used to be around my area called Gamesboro was awesome. I remember trading in a Wii for some PSN cards and dude was a man of his word. Hell I got Gran Turismo 1 from the place. It's a shame it went out of business though

I would guess Lana turns tonight and Cena wins as well.

My only question is what happens when Lana turns? Are they seriously going to be like "Just kidding! She was American the whole time! See her now in Pitch Perfect 2!"?

The F4W board thread on these guys is great. Not as great as the Sunny thread, but still hilarious.

It would be pretty awesome if Cole throws in a PP2 plug, lol.

Sure hope Ambrose wins
. I bet 2 things will happen: Orton winning and this being the last event with Corporate Kane. I suppose it's worth watching if the latter turns out to be true.
lol, literally NEVER happening
If mic foley got a one than dean has to get it.

Why? Mick was far more over and a bigger star in his day than Dean's ever been outside of his fall of 2014 push where this might've worked. I can see him getting it though - they've got a PPV soon enough and he would benefit from the "former WWE Champion" label.

They need to sign Othello from Championship from Hollywood to be a bodyguard for The New Day
...fourth
Only one more PPV needed to tie with Sheamus Vs Del Rio, I think.
Edit: Or maybe it is tied after tonight.
fuck! This better be the end of it.

Not had the network since Mania but may just sign up for a month, two PPVs and the NXT show should be worth a tenner i suppose
(I voted Dean)
Where is the Chris Hero option?
(I voted Dean)
How does Dean have talent? He loses all the time. He can't win a match. How is he employed?
