Oh yeah man, GameStop was at the forefront of what the industry as a whole is doing now. Acquiring, consuming, shitting out a husk.

I'm of 2 minds with GameStop nowadays. On one hand, it's somewhat nice to still have a physical game store. On the other, it's fucking GameStop and all the baggage that comes with that.

I don't see much of a future for physical shops at this point. Especially with Best Buy, Walmart and Kroger phasing out retail space.

Soon we'll have nothing but digital and subscription and I guess we'll like it? I'll hold on to my dragons hoard of physical games as long as I can (thanks Game Crazy for employing new throughout high school) but it'll be painful the day I realize I'm no longer adding new stuff to it.

I don't know that I can forgive them for killing Think Geek. :(

As an avid Bawls drinker, I 100% agree with this sentiment.

You can still get Bawls if you travel to the US! In certain states. If the state has a Microcenter.

Aww man, good to know! I wish we had a microcenter nearby. Closest one is at least a state away.

Maybe they'll ship it. Haha
