@Dashofpepper - let it go, dude. It's not worth your time. The word is out on the forum(s) - the butterfly flapping its wings creating the hurricane.

The owner apparently sucks. Take your business elsewhere and be happy.

We had an LGS in my college town which wasnt really unfriendly, just extremely incompetent.

The store was a complete wreck. trash, boxes and old junk computer parts everywhere.

The owner would spend all his money ordering really obscure games no one wanted and would try to push them even after he himself admitted they weren't really fun. (Some sort of stupid old west pog game.)

We'd implore him to just buy clix, warhammer and magic, the things that people actually wanted to buy. He would receive his order of magic cards and be sold out the same afternoon.

The biggest issue I had with him was trying to actually give him money. Id special ordered about 250$ worth of space marines (He didnt stock any GW because it was 'too expensive for my customers') and after about three weeks of him failing completely to actually place the order I left for the last time, loudly telling everyone in the shop that I was driving the hour to a real game store. I then asked if anyone would like a ride.


My new home town has a small LGS but the moment I walked in for the first time, the incredibly overpowering stench of cat urine drove me out before the owner could even finish asking me what game I played.

I still drive an hour to get to a decent game store. :(

Cat pee for the win!

Wow...I'm fortunate to live in Nashville, TN where I can get to 2 quality game stores in 40 minutes or less...

These stories make me wary of relocating after I graduate college in May...

Problem was TFG inhabited that store and reproduced like rabbits. The problem got so bad that I was not allowed in their tourneys after all the TFG's decided it was unfair that I always won.

I go to that store often, and agree with you 100%. It's so sad, considering I've never played there, just browsed, and even I noticed the TFG. It's even sadder considering how well the store is kept and what they sell/have in stock. It just goes to show you, unfriendly costumers can be as bad as unfriendly owners.

I went to that store as a trat when on holiday there mid last year, as you said it is huge and Very well stocked, but i did overhear some TFG remarks from some of the people playing. pity as it is the best store i've seen
