Nobody's ever done a foxgirl, to my knowledge. And Disgaea's awesome, so... yeah.

There's a store slightly similar to this around here called "Gamer Doc" in the way that it carries older games.

I actually almost picked a couple Genesis games up.

Good for him, that kind of store is a great idea for nostalgia nuts like me. Although his mom dying is sad, I feel for the guy; it sounds like he really loved his mom. I am just glad that he made something of all those memories they made together.

When Taylor's single mom passed away about a year ago he dropped out of school, got his GED and landed a job at a local video game store. Last week he and a friend decided to launch the store together.

Nice job, kid.

I hope that the shop does well! Most shops like that around here close down too quickly because it's a big retirement town... Hopefully there are more gamers in Denver.

Dayam, That's really awesome! :3
A retro gaming store, filled with games you've played when you were a 1 year old!
I'd put all my loonies and toonies into investing this type of store. If I went into Stocks.

But Taylor, even though you probably won't read this, Congratulations on getting a job in what you love the most, that's what life's all about.
