Hey there jerky boy.
Pump: I thought we might read about you in the papers or something. Like the obituary column. Anyway, no worries. This weekend is not the best weekend to try and BB it. I think we will have to wait until monday night. Today and tomarrow I will be watching a bunch of indie movies at the San Francisco International Film Festival. How about we set it for 9pm monday eve? Sound good. Give me a confirmation if you can or can not. You know working low end retail can really suck. Aimey has some real gems of stories while working at Mervyn's. People can just plain suck sometimes. When do you start the new job?
Elrock: How about Ku-Ta-Lu games? My brain seems to have come to a halt on names. Maybe some more will brew up later.
Bortz-a-lot

Oh yeah, Kate Beckinsale... I believe this will make it restraining order number 5?
The movie was like a candy bar, good enough snack. Writing uninspiring (cartoony in some places), few decent action scenes. The thing it had going for it was good stylistic visuals. I liked the look of the costumes and settings (I'm shallow like that... wait, it's the art school snob in me).
Oh yeah, did I mention Kate Beckinsale. I love a woman in black leathers and trenchcoat...

Miss checking the blogs and the whole world changes!
Eric! The taint of Cthulhu was finally too strong. He compels you to open a store to infect a new generation of broodlings.....
Sir I salute you. Makes me all weepy and emotion like...
And to think I've missed out on the naming rounds. I've only thought about it for as long as it took to read all the previous blogs, but here is one:
The Entropy Bazaar, yeah I stole a previous idea, it's 3 am. I'll try to think up of better ones.
My apologies for my absence. I have been in a dual state of zombification and shaking white rage these past weeks. Before I read the blogs, I was going to rant about my complete and utter hatred of a retail job. With these new developments, I should narrow the scope of my hatred.
Working at a Mail Boxes Hexetera has given me the unenviable opportunity to "serve" a cross section of the general population. And let me tell you it ain't pretty. My seething hatred for humanity was stoked like the very fires of hell during my tenure.
But take heart Eric, I think the type of store will greatly determine the nature of the customers. I can guarantee you, you won't get a drunken refinery worker threatening to drive his truck into the store because his next day letter didn't arrive in South Carolina on time.
And Blood Bowl. So sorry Enron. Let me know when you're free.
Mike, cheers and good luck on your "homework"
Rudy, see you Sunday and expect a traditional "welcome to the game" critical shot into the stomach. Ask Aaron about it.
Another store name "The Flying Polyp"

Hey Rude... sure, if you want to come by you can join the crew.
I'll go over to Eric's around noon... come by then and we can do pirate creation. Usually the other three come in from 12:30-1:58 and we get started around 2:00 or so....
The next book in Neal Stephenson's baroque cycle just came out. I'm contemplating whether to pick it up now at Costco since it's cheap, or wait since I haven't got through Quicksilver yet....
Actually I'm reading a good book right now, Game of Thrones. Huge book, first in a series. It's about a large kingdom with all this simmering political tension (obviously, things are going to break out into war at some point). The main things I like about it are:
1. It's got lots of memorable characters.
2. Although there are characters that are clearly dickheads, the lines between good and bad aren't as easy to define as usual because:
2a. Most of the characters are members of various ruling families, who are all intermarried with each other, thus many characters have multiple and conflicting loyalties;
2b. Rather than sticking with one narrative viewpoint, the chapters switch between various characters, all of whom are at least somewhat sympathetic, many of whom are directly opposed to each other.
3. So far, the author has done a really good job of conveying a place where, although right now things are just a little tense, when shit blows up, it is going to blow up good.
There's a strategy boardgame based on the series which is supposed to be pretty great... if I keep enjoying the books, maybe I'll pick it up.

I disagree. The name of the store should be, "Ah ha ha. Yes, captain. Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha ha, ah HA HA HA, ah HA HA HA HA HAAA, HHHhhhhuuhhhh hhhhuhhh HA hhhuhhh hhhhhuhhh, hhhhhuhhh, HA, HA, yes, captain, ah HAAA HAA HAA HAAA, yes, HAAAAAAAA, captain. Games."
OK, enough names! Eric, you up for piracy on Sunday?

"Prosty's."
I also like "Go Paul Games" (kind of snappy) and "Action Team! Games." (You could have an anime-esque logo.)
I guess that Gary Gygax had a minor stroke. There's a letter about it from him here. I also learned that he's a Jehovah's Witness.
Best follow-up comment: "At least he made his save vs. death."

Eh Juice-a-lini
Not all the names have 'games' in them... Anyway, Action Team Games is cool. Of course you will never wrestle www.theactionteam.com (Expires 2008) or www.actionteam.com (Expires 2010) from either of those two lame asses.
More Silly Names:
This one is great with the parents: Realms of Degeneracy. Jake's House of Whales. Joe's Chili Dog Service and Games. Mikenloft Games. Mr. Hass's Games, you would have to act like the Soup Nazi of games, kinda like 'British Man', only German. The Leather Chest Emporium. The Iron Codpiece.
More Serious Names:
The DMZ. Entropy Games. Frontline Games. The Dragon's Hoard.
Im tired

actually i think "S kellington game emporium" sounds nifty and gives it a huge mecca feel!
you'd have to build it big like costco... er say 5000sq ft??? hehe, do it!. Also why does the names all have to incorporate the word games in it? I guess technically its for recognition like "games of westwood" "berkeley games" ech... eww...
more funny names for the pot:
"Dragon Depot", "Nosferatu N Us", "Crack Pipe games" "doo how you get so many games games" "6 inches" "Dices"(rhymes with fryses) "Pirates in the Sea-cove"
P.S level up games is purty cool.
Jon: Remember you had space marines??? and then I went out and bought a set and then rudy bought one too? can't get away from GW dude...

Level Up Games
...is in the lead right now. It's catchy, and it sounds kinda kewl to boot. I also like Left Coast Games. Supar Kraken Games is funny and caught me off guard. Game Face and Random Encounters are also good.
Action Team Games?
S. Kellingtons Game Emporium is something that would never fly, but I like the idea of using something from our common gaming history as the title, a-la Wizards of the Coast (which was named after a faction in Richard Garfield D&D game, I believe).

Some stuff you NEED!
Well, the only essintial that i could think of for the store would be Mazes and Monsters. It's easy to get now (like at best buy, etc) and its always a super cheap costing movie. It says TOM HANKS! really big on it and it has a picture of him from like BIG or Bosum Buddies on the front, but its that same classic. That needs to be in the store!
Also, at cons, you can have a booth now! That'd be sick. We can sell all our old games thru your booth. That always seems like a way to find out about a local gaming store.
I like that 70/30 nerd/family split enron talked about. You gotta have a wall-o-weegee boards!
