[QUOTE="evileeyore, post: 1395674, member: 1768"] okay now you asked two distinct questions: 1)How did you get introduced to the hobby? A friend. The nearest FLGS at the time was two far away for an 11 year old to travel too. 2)Are FLGS necessary to the continued health? Hmmm, I don't know. However I would have dropped from gaming long ago had it not been for my local store. How else is an adolescent supposed ot buy his gaming needs on the sly? Prehaps now that computers have begun to take on the role of babysitter (nudging out TV in new demographics) kids could more easily order online or direct from the company, but with whose credit card? Because of this one little facet, young teens forbidden to game will always need an FLGS, and the fond memories of the place will bring them back even after the lousy dump has gone all commercial (waahh, my FLGS went commercialized).
