GameStop on 5th Ave

I noticed a GameStop sign is up now in the old Shopping Time space on 5th Avenue and 14th (15th?).

Iiiinteresting...

Isn't there already one on 7th Ave and Carroll and Atlantic Center?

There's four in Kings Plaza..

No wonder you never see kids playing football, tag, etc., in the streets anymore.

YAY!!!! I KNOW! saw that earlier today AND FREAKED OUT IM SO EXCITED. NO MORE trekking all the way up to 7th ave/garfield. come on now. south slope representing....!

I hate Gamestop! Exploiters of children! I wish I still had the games I traded in as a kid.

Right, because of course the last thing that people who play video games want to do is walk a few blocks. Damned physical activity.

I wonder if we are beginning to see an influx of chain stores coming...7-11, GameStop...what is next? Hmmm...

Isn't there a new video game place near the corner of 11th and 5th Ave? Anyone have the name of it? I need to call to see if they have Little Big Planet.

There's only one game that means anything and thats starcraft 2. every other game is just childish nonsense.

they wont have little big planet. its release date has been pushed back a week

True, the release date was pushed back, but a lot of mom and pop stores have been selling it anyway. And, of course, some of those are ending up in eBay, but I don't want the game badly enough to spend $100+ to get it before the new street date. I decided to do a 180 and went from cutsey to violent with Dead Space. I'll pick up LBP in a few weeks.

And there's another around 5th and 11th, its like Gamestop moved in just to put the new mom and pop store out of business. This is all getting rather strange...

are you saying people aren't capable of doing both? did you perform some sort of study you'd like to share on the fitness and video game activities of adults and children in Park Slope? what journal can I find that in?
