[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 3217162, member: 13892"] Reason 1: $15,0000 in debt. The debt itself is slowly being paid off, but the fact that it exists makes it impossible for me to qualify for a credit card, which rules out 98% of online shopping. Also, I don't entirely trust myself with credt due to past events. Reason 2: We have a phenomenal FLGS. Seriously, this FLGS is like "sex with Heidi Klum good" so far as game stores go.
