[QUOTE="Bass Puppet, post: 58073, member: 1418"] Over the last couple of years I have been going to a local Retail Game store here in So Cal. I don't try to associate with some of the people there because I am afraid of the them (they are scary). And some even smell real bad. Anyways, I don't let that interfere with me driving out there and doing my part by supporting them. Here is why I will only purchase ONLINE until I find a better store. 1. I ALWAYS feel like they copy the mannerisms of "The Comic Book Guy" in the Simpsons. "I know everything" and because you don't you, you are wasting my time. 2. Today when I arrived at 10:30 (They open at 10) they were closed and the individual who showed up to open the store 10 minutes after I arrived, seemed bothered by me waiting for him to open the store. I also waited patiently for another 10 minutes before walking in. (He forgot to turn the Open sign around) 3. When I asked for a particular product, most of the time they don't know what I am talking about or they tell me some off the wall. I ONLY PLAY D&D. I won't name the Store because this is just my experience and again I believe in supporting your local Gaming store. So, if there is any Gaming/Hobbey store in the Long Beach Area that you would personally recommend please let me know, until then, I will be supporting the Wizards through Online services. I would go to Wizards of the Coast Retail Store before I would go back to that store, at least they are friendly and they smile when they say, "Masters of The Wild?" What game is that for? [/QUOTE]
