[QUOTE="billd91, post: 2390292, member: 3400"] The saddest part of this will be no longer being able to go into the FLGS and actually pick up the games to look over while making my buying decisions once the FLGSs go away (assuming they do). I can't remember the number of times I've gone game shopping and been surprised by some other product and, reading over the text on the game box or in the books and feeling the instant gratification of having it in hand, been totally hooked. It's happened a lot. Without my FLGS, I wouldn't be the gamer I am today. Fortunately, with a single hiccup that I know of because of skyrocketing rents near our new arts district, I have a pretty robust FLGS that has been going for 25 years. They offer a 20% birthday discount (bring in your ID), good grades discounts, demo space, and organize tournaments from time to time. The last time I was in there, they had just gotten the new edition of Arkham Horror and because the owner hadn't gotten a look at it yet, she broke open the shrink wrap right in front of me and we got a look at it. I haven't dug up any reviews of it yet to see how it plays, but it sure is gorgeous.
