For myself it is mostly digital during sales lately, or finding used games via Kijiji (a site similar to Craigslist in function, but more popular in my part of Canada) or more rarely on eBay. If I'm buying new physical copies, I usually purchase from PnP Games pnpgames.com/

I don't trust strangers and I don't like facebook. Haha, I've done around 50 pruchases from random strangers, and not once been screwed over. It's a small risk you gotto take. Everyone I've talked to about it IRL, friends and family etc. has had bad experiences happen to them, specifically on the ebay type of anonymous online marketplace. Facebook groups may be fine, I haven't asked about it in detail because I don't care about it, I stay away from facebook and all I really ask in return is that facebook stays the hell away from me.

I dont have any other place to go but gamestop. I can always go looking around at flea markets and I might score something there. Gamestop is fine by me I suppose they just do stupid things and have some dumb policies. Not really a big fan of there prices but like I said I have no other place to buy games from really. It's like a 20 minute drive to the nearest big town so its a bit of a drive for me.
I have always wanted to work at a game store. I might have a job at one here soon which has a frozen yogurt place right next to it. Girls like to hang out there so maybe I will finally meet someone and not get turned down again.

I have been getting my physical copies from Target lately, because I get an extra 5% off with the Red Card. I know 5% doesn't sound like much, but it seems like every store around me charges the exact same price for every new game available.

How many girls do you think are gonna be strolling into the video game store with a frozen yogurt?

lukefonfabre388 if you are having girl problem, the solution is easy, hang out with many of them, go out, chill with them, the more you get adjusted to be around them in general the more you will learn how to deal with them specifically, just like anything else. The more your try to beat the Soul games the better you get at it, but if you don't try enough, then that's it. If you want to do a home run you have to be swingwing that bat, it is the only way.

I learned romance by playing GTA San Andreas.
You just have to take her to a nice dinner, a dance, and then let her shoot some thugs in a drive by.

Over here, women would rather whinge about a man drought than have realistic standards.

Well what they think they want is not usually what they respond to, so their ideas of how he should be, must be not even considered because they don't matter at all.
What matters is what they respond to, and that could be anyone, something easily to see by just looking at any of their dating past.

I asked this one girl out and she already has a boyfriend. I asked another out and she already has one too. But this one girl did reject me. I gave her my number and asked her to call me. She never did. She doesn't have any friends really only her work friends. She sits there during break on her damn phone all the time. I hate it. Honestly these people who dont want to date me don't know what they are missing.

Imagine you die 3 times in Demon Souls and you give up. You'll never get anywhere. The same thing goes in real life with anything that challenges you, you can't give up that easily.
They asked Edison how does it feel to fail 25,000 times on making a light bulb. He answered it feels good because now I know 25,000 ways how not to make a light bulb.
That said you have to notice what you are doing. First of all the culture. If within your culture is OK to straight up ask someone out to start dating then it will be OK to follow that.
But if that is a thing of the past in your culture and in order to start dating now they ask you to have some kind of investment with you before that, then you have to roll with that.
In my experience selling romantic interest does not bring you anywhere. On the other hand selling a good time together before and then developing things from there works best.
Because unless she is on a party city far from her house with no consequences, she will need to invest something before going further onto something else.
The best thing you can make her invest is her time. The more you spend time with them the more likely they will feel comfortable enough around you.
In other words take things extremely slow, but the real key is to do it not with just one girl but with many girls at the same time. Then choose the winner out of those.
If physical affection is what you are looking for, get good at bringing them to your place fast where the two can be alone without anyone bothering you. Once a girl is behind close doors and she feels safe then you can make your move.
And with that move also take things extremely slow, but try to go all the way every single time because that works best to start a new relationship. Or at least always go as far as your moral code let's you. The more you practice the easier it gets.

Game planet (Local retail store) for modern console games, bazaars and market stands for old games, Steam for computer games.
That's it, I've never used Ebay or Amazon for old games before, I think it takes some of the fun of collecting away.
