On the other hand, college kids desperately want to spend all their free money on stuff like cheap amusements.
Our competition would be Hastings, with its lousy selection, Walmart, with its lousier selection, and Xtreme Games, who only seems to care about keeping their arcade open nowadays.
And internet or not, there's still charm in browsing through a real store with real product. And if you can lure people in by holding events at the store...
It's going to be based on location and if people know you or not. If you start a store at a place with a lot of geeks that major there, you're almost a shoe in. The former president of RIT's anime club started an anime store by RIT and was able to succeed because 1) people at the anime club know him and it is pretty much free advertising for him, and 2) he had already built contacts with anime companies by going to conventions and because RIT requires the anime club to get licenses to show publicly. Since RIT's anime club is a good way to test and see what sort of anime is a success nation-wide, some companies are free to even offer discounts. Ultimately, contacts can help a lot.
Then there's Arena 51, which is basically a big LAN store where you pay to play computer games. I have NO IDEA how they are in business and have succeeded this long.
I know what it's like to be a bit of a loner. You and Stephie are the first people that I actually met on my own at Truman that I think the world of. I like to think that if I'm not one of your best friends that I'm at least semi-close. You don't know how much it means to me to have friend like you and her.
I only get on this thing like twice a year as you say lol and I do remember seeing you around but never really to stop to talk to you guys but I was pretty much like that with everyone this semester (4 studios and work will do that to someone), but I DO remember catching a "hi," seeing you both in club, or something of that nature and not being told about it so I guess I am one of the people who are not as important to tell T^T
